rOUR MEDFOHD MAIL TMBUNB Thursdar, August 34, 1944
Doollttle, Mo. (U.R) There's
a new town In Missouri and
this is it. It's named for the
former St. Louisan who led the
first American air raid on Tok
yo. Lt Gen. Jimmy Doolittle.
Fnr more than 15 years, this
tlnv Diece of Ozark farmland
along U. S. Highway 66 was
known informally but not le
gally as "Centerville Garage" to
denote Its halfway spot between
Bolla and Newburg, Mo.
Appropriate Is the name Doo
llttle, for the new town liter
llv snrane from war clouds
which in 1941 saw start of con
structlon of Fort Leonard Wood,
in miles away.
Camp workmen slept where
they could and tourist cabins
soon appeared thickly along the
straight two-mile roaa sireicn
called Centerville.
Then came the soldiers, and
Centerville became the mecca
of their families. Population
now is 208, about 125 of them
permanent residents.
Lou Hargis, who runs one of
the most popular tourist re
treats and also serves as Arling
ton Township Justice of the
peace, long had thought of In
corporating the community. So
awile back he called a meeting.
On hand were Phelps County
Attorney Lynn Bradford and
Raymond Brant, the county
surveyor. So were shoe repair
man Clyde Haas filling station
operator Jimmy Hines, and the
"pioneer" garageman, Monroe
Ramsey.
Bradford, as attorney for the
group, drew up a plan showing
that the new town would be two
miles long and a half mile wide.
That done, the question of a
name arose. Centerville was
ruled out when It was found
there was another Centerville,
the county seat of Reynolds
County, only one county re
moved. Then up spoke cobbler Haas:
"Seems we've had quite a
hand In building up our armed
forces," said he. "Why not call
our town after one of Missouri's
Rreatest war heroes Jimmy
Doollttle?'
"Why not?" echoed Lou Har
gis enthusiastically. "And we'll
get the general himself to come
down here and dedicate Doo
llttle, Mo., after the war."
All that was left to do then
was the filing of Incorporation
papers in the Phelps County
court at nearby Rolla. This was
the proud duty of Doollttle's
five newly-elected trustees, Har
gis, Hines, W. O. Durham, prin
cipal of Newburg high school;
Bob Craln of the Missouri bur
eau of mines, and Ika Towell,
veteran grocer.
The trustees will serve until
next April, when a mayor and
other city fathers will be elected
to watch over the welfare of the
new town's citizens.
