The old familiar House for Rent sign is hang ing out and at Ben Ranard'ss blacksmith shop the Hoosier villagers are whiting on goods boxes and speculating on whether or not the earth is round, just as they did before the war.
 It will be long time before they quit talking about the great day when they held celebration and dedicated to their little village of Whitehall ten-foot wooden monument, set up on the main road, bearing the proud inscription Cen ter of Population.
