| One hundred and forty-six stars now
adorn the two service flags at Coed
Will. five Of them golden. Five former
Good Will teachers have also entered
the army or engaged in war work. one
of whom. former Principal E. L. Allen,
has also given his life in France. A sad
feature in connection with this Is that
within two weeks from the death Of Mr..
Allen his wife, one son. his wlfe's faith
er and sister, have died from pneumo-
| mia, in he same house and all within
four days. They were living at 215 Col

were well known at Good Will, where
they lived nearly five years. and their
many friends there greatly regret the
untimely demise Of such splendid people.
