We have on our desk vivid des-
cription of one of the bloodiest engage
ments of the great World War. The
article is written by one of the return
ed heroes of that conflict, who was
decorated with two medals for
bravery and valor while wounded on
the field of battle. Space will not
permit the story this week, but we
want the readers of the True Norther
ner to look for it in next weeks issue.
1t begins to look as though Pugsley's
Lake is again to flourish as summer
resort as in the "Good Old Days.
Among the Paw Paw people who have
recently purchased cottages are c. w.
Van Tassell, +. r. Avery, David An
derson, w. J. Warner, Ola Sunny
and H "A. Cole. Extensive improve
ments are planned at the lake, and
the summer months will find a large
colony of home folks congregated at
the resort to enjoy the shady grounds
and cool breezes of the lake.
The High School band gave the
first of series of street concerts on
evening. These concerts
will continue throughout the early
summer months. and should bring
big crowd to the streets every We'd
nesday evening. Musical Director
Castle has developed mighty fine
organization, and the fact
that the public is to be given an
opportunity to enjoy their selections
on every Wednesday evening will be
welcome news to everybody in the
community. Be out to greet the boys
again next Wednesday evening.
1t has been suggested that steps be
taken soon by the citizens of Paw

colors to do their part in the World

and should receive early attention. 1t
would seem that the plans and pre-
arrangements should be
worked out through the local war
board and commercial club. The
celebration should be for every boy
in Paw Paw and all the surrounding
towns who wore the Khaki and should
be deferred until all the boys are
home, or near enough to home so
they could get here for the event.
