Making bets for money is a form of gambling. A short while ago Seth Blood bet Russell Earl $2 on some question or other. The terms of the lost wager were! that whoever must donate the two bucks to the Newsette. The other day Russ came to the door and handed us the $2. Now, as we said before, we think gambling But if the bets contain is a sin the provision that the loser pays the Newsette the amount of the bet, then, we think, those are extenuating circumstances, and under those conditions it cant be so bad. So, When making bets in the future, if you are afraid your conscience will just do plague you for it then to your as stated above and go pangs pillow undisturbed by any of conscience. (jg) Spencer on leave, made a Hatch, home $20 donation to the paper. He exhorted us implicity, explicitly, and a couple of other ways not to advertise his donation, but golly! what can we do?

(Bishop Duncan slings a mean ball at bowler ing). The committee had promised them a meal, and they really got it. Potato salad, ham, deviled eggs, bread, potato chips, punch and watermelon dee-licio- us made everyone as full as they could get. Gene Ford, Herb Haacke, Lorna Major and Dorothy Barde- serve a lot of credit for the good time everyone had. o Erratum Oops! the Newsette slipped up! In reporting to you the story of Eva Hancock in our last issue we made an error in stating that she spoke at the San Francisco International Conference. Miss Hancock hurried to correct us on this saying that although she did attend the conference, she spoke at a conference of government and army officials concerning the returned servicemen, which took place at the time of the International Conference. We apologize to you, our readers, and to Eva for this mistaken report. Pineapple being so next-to-impossib- 1 945 Society And Clubs The Editor Thinks Aloud . . . le to get now days sets exup a real contrast with an perience I remember some few years back. During that period the world market was so glut- ted with canned pineapple that there wasnt a sale for it. Nevertheless, to keep their fields in cultivation and to be ready when the market broke again, the pineapple interests in Hawaii went ahead and planted their fields as usual. Then iristead of harvesting their crops as the fields ripened, they opened the gates and posted signs reading Pineapples Free For Domestic Use. Help Yourself. I can prove it too, for I have a snapshot of myself standing by one such sign. v The other day it was my assignment to affix a gold star before the name of James C. Evans on the beautiful honor roll of the Salt Lake Hardware Company. It was one of the most difficult things I have, had to do. Jimmie entered the service from the employ of this company.

Good Night Joe! The man behind the voice was a Mr. Carter who owned the then small rock house east of Claytons. Carters moved out from Salt Lake City every summer, and this call would float out on the air waves (without benefit of radio) for some 15 or 20 minutes each evening. Kids within hearing distance would unfailingly take up the cry, and for a few moments the town would reverberate to a chorus of Good Night, Joe from a dozen different directions. We used to think Joseph Williams was meant to be the recipient of the nightly message, but when I once questioned the son of the Carter family as to the meaning of the calls, he muttered something about it being out of respect for some friend of his father in the city. At any rate, the message didnt carry quite that far, but it did pretty well ing Good blanket Centerville. o Ward Statistics Blessing: Anthony Pratt Pesh-el- l, son of Mr. and Mrs. Heinz J. A. Peshell. Baptisms: Edith Randall and Carl Craig Fornelius. Births: Mr. and Mrs. Robert Trump, twin boys; Mr. and Mrs. Golden Allen, boy and Mr. and Mrs. McKelvey, boy. Ah-h-h- -h Recognition! The following conversation took place recently in Salt Lake City: Army Major: I see by the pin you are wearing that you are a fellow Lion. What is the name of your chapter? Centerville Lion: I belong to the Bountiful Lions at present but we are organizing a chapter in my town, Centerville. U. S. Major: Centerville! Thats in Davis county isnt it? Centerville Lion: Major: Centerville Yes. Isnt that where the Newsette is pub- lished? Centerville Lion That is correct. (proudly): Let me tell you sir, that that paper is one of the biggest morale builders that has ever hit the South Pacific. Major: During the rest of the conversation between the two men it developed that the major was from Alabama and has seen service in the south Pacific. When the conversation was repeated to us we were very happy, to say the least, and hoped that in passing it on to our fellow workers, all of you monetary contributors, that you also would be a little pleased at the praise. |
