ON MONDAY AND Tuesday
evening of this week, the Chill
dren from four Mount Clemens
public schools presented their
Christmas program before
large audience of parents and
friends in the High school audi
forum. Monday evening the
program was given by the chill
dren from Dickinson and Lin
coin schools and on Tuesday by
those from the Grant and Will
son schools.
The program opened with the
sir ing of the Star Spangled
Banner by the audience. The
kindergarten rhythm bands
from Lincoln, and on Tuesday
night, from Grant school, each
with a youthful leader, played
with great enthusiasm a number
of marches and Christmas mu-
sic. Mrs. Leah Gallagher was in
charge of the Lincoln school
band, and Miss Alice Remer of
the band from Grant school.
The audience then joined the
children seated in the balcony
in singing two well known car
OILS.
AS the lights dimmed the
sound of flute, played by Eve
lyn Riley, was heard in the dis
lance, and the Narrators began
the old, old story of Christmas;
Mary and Joseph, the shepherds,
the wisemen and the angels.
Children sitting in the balcony,
in the pit, and on the stage made
the air literally fill with mu-
sic. All the carols sung by the
children were traditional carols
from many countries, England,
France, Germany, Italy, Spain,
and the United States. An or
gan borrowed for the occasion
from the Episcopal church pro-
vided the accompaniment from
the balcony and the piano, play

be Affected

Before making adjustments at
Michigan State Normal College,
President John Munson today was
awaiting Army confirmation of an
nouncements that the training
courses for service men in colleges
will be discontinued April l. The
dicontinuance order affects all men
except those in advanced courses
OF medicine, dentistry and engineer
ing.
At the present time there are 237
men in the ASTP training unit at
the Nomal College.
Excluded in this order are II
year old ASTP reserves.
About $4,000 OF the 10000 ma
tionally affected men will be trans
ferred from ASTP and assigned to
the Army ground forces where the
skills and capacity for leadership
now are most needed" the War
Department said.
Most OF the remaining 10000 will
be assigned to other units destined
for overseas service.
Because inability OF Selectiye
service to deliver personnel has
created a shortage OF 100000 men.
the War Department said, the stu
dents affected by the discontinued
program will be assigned to combat
units.
DR.. George F. Zook. president Of
the American Council on Educa-
ton, said curtailment OF Army
program would have "a very ser
ious effect" on schools already hard
hit by the war. DR.. Zook said those
colleges which have no women stu.

suffer most.
