1t is with sincere regret that The
True Northerner announces that Prof.
Harry Gottheimer is to leave the
Paw Paw schools next year. He has
signed contract and will go to
Allegan. Mr.. Gottheimer has been
the right man for the place, and the
position will be hard to fill. Allegan
| is to be congratulated.
Those who missed the Grade and
kindergarten entertainment at the
Opera House last week Wednesday
evening missed a rare treat indeed.
The pupils were all splendidly drilled
and all including the little wee tots
were real stars. Too much praise
for the teachers having this enter
tainment in charge cannot be be-
slowed upon them. 1t was a real
classic.
One hundred and lightweight
young men of Van Buren, county

men at once, and when returned, the
list will be classified for service.
Soon some of them will be on the
way to join their comrades in arms.
NJ. H. Young and County Clerk Deck
er assisted the Draft Board in the
registration, the time of course be-
: ing donated.
