Norbert Mollen and John Lenz, two young men whose homes are in Little Chute, were made members of the Norbertine Order of St. Joseph's Church in De Pere during a solemn high mass Monday morning. The young men were invested with the habit of the order, which is entirely white, hence the name, White Fathers, is often applied to them.

J. H. Ralph, who has been conducting a men's clothing store and haberdashery on Wisconsin Avenue, next to the post office, has disposed of the entire stock of merchandise to a new firm. Edward Zekind, who has many acquaintances here, wishes to announce that he is interested and will have active management of this new store, which will be continued, and a brand new stock has already been purchased.

Mereness of this city were at De Pere Sunday fishing for perch of which they caught 224. They went down Saturday and established their camp, with Chas. Ristau as guide and chef and the way the crowd did justice to Mr. Ristau's cooking caused even that experienced camper to open his eyes in surprise. They did not bring back a single fish.

Newsprint shortage has caused a part of the Kaukauna Times be printed today on a different paper which originated in Kaukauna at the Thilmany Pulp and Paper company.

The arrival of a carload of newsprint next week, however plus an exchange of rolls with the West Bend News will bring the Times back to a normal newsprint situation next week- we hope.

Rambling Reporter – Mrs. Ed Wolf.  A recent article in the Times struck this reporters memories. Well I remember those picnics in the old days. I myself never had much money to take to the picnics but I do remember some of those guys carrying a lot of loose change in one of their pockets. Folding money was not much in evidence in the early years. They used to run the money through their fingers inside your pants pocket to impress the girls, who were pleased to know that their current date had lots of money. Some of them, however, did rattle the coins rather than spending them.
