A Column on William Deagan Juans and War Times
A verbose column extols William Deagan Juans as a civic loyalist and cheerful leader who died peacefully after a long service to the Shire. It contrasts his calm, steady nature with evolving political thought while recounting wartime mood, local debates, and a dispatch from the post office about a young man, William Jones, enlisting and requesting letters for his mother.
