    Lou Hunsinger, Jr.

    Entirely lacking in the fanfare and excitement which greeted Armistice Day 1918, tempered with the realization that America still has a war with Japan to win and made solemn with the knowledge that hostilities have claimed the lives of hundreds of the city’s finest young men, Williamsport today marked V-E Day. More solemn than spirited,
