happy when news was received last
Monday morning that the war was

Of it. Whistles blew repeatedly here
for several hours. All stores and
business houses were ordered closed
by the mayor. The sugar factory
closed down for the day to let its
employees celebrate the most impor-
tant day in all history. Cars rambled
thru town all day with joy-mad oc-
cupants, yelling at the top of their
voices. Extremely loud blasts were
heard here all day Monday and far
into the night. Many people here
attended the celebrations both at
Idaho Falls and Blackfoot. Last
Monday could be said to be the livli-
est day that Shelley has seen in years.
Many of our boys who were called
by the local draft board were notified
that their calls had been cancelled.
