ing to the success and glory that
has been recorded in its history
since July, 1918, when on its first
combat assignment of World war l
it successfully defended the Marine
river against two divisions of pick
ed German shock troops. Since max
ing their initial landing on the
beaches north of Fedala, French
Morocco, Nov. g., 1912, the men OF
the Bird division have fought their
way through North Africa, Sicily,
Italy and France to Hitler's Reich.
On Aug. Is, 1914, the. division
under the command of Major Gen
eral John w. O'Daniel, landed on
the beaches of southern France, its
fourth amphibious landing of the
war. Striking north into France
the men covered more than $50
miles in the first ten days of fight
ing, taking more than 1000 prison
ers and setting a pace that has
brought them to the very thresh-
hold of Germany in record time. In
a recent operation the 3rd division
spanned the raging Meurthe river
in the Vosges mountains without the
loss of a single man and without
the enemy suspecting that a major
attack was under way. The per-
lection in this river crossing will be
recorded as another of the 3rd di-
visions outstanding achievements.

Nov. 1. That is all the mail I have

We have quite a bit of snow here

that a fellow can't keep warm

Mount Clemens will be dress
ed up in all its finery come
Christmas time if plans approx
ed Wednesday night by the City
Commission are followed.
A lofty Christmas tree will
be set up on the triangle al
Gratiot and New streets. Com
missioner Guy H. Verkler tolo
the municipal body that he has
already purchased a beautiful
tree and has completed plans fol-
lights and trimmings.
The manger scene depicted
annually by the local chapter
of the National Council of Cath
olic Women will appear along
side of the three this year it
was revealed.
Members of the Catholic wom-
ems organization appeared be-
fore the commissioners and re-
uuested the right to build the
crib.
Their request was wholeheart-
edly granted by the commission
ers who praised their civic and
religious zeal. On the request Of
the Catholic women the con-
struction Of platform on the
island was also approved.
Approximately so boys and
girls are expected to sing carols
on the Saturday before Christ
mas. Commissioner Verkler said
that the whole scene, tree and
all, may be illuminated by flood
lights.
Only one pre-war feature
will be missed this Yule season.
Acting on the recommendation
of City Engineer Ernest /. Pet
tingill, the commission denied the
merchants request TO re-estao-
lish the Christmas Choral scene
high above the Gratiot street
entrance to the County building.
A. M. Hameister appeared fof
the Merchants.
Pettingill said that although
the scene was inspiring and q
beautiful thing he felt that 1t
was not safe.
He, pointed out that a storm
might send the entire structure
crashing to the ground and said
that if it was built 1t would be
without his recommending it.
Several other places, includ-
ing the steeple of a church, were
suggested but no conclusion was
reached. ),
