Sings FuehrIer
Song too Often;
Lands in Jail

Recuperating in the county
Jail today from the effects of a
Christmas spree is Edward R.
Hathaway, So, of 3O705 Reid
highway, Erin Township.
Hathaway became entangled
in the machinery of the law at
las p. m. yesterday, when he
was arrested by deputy sheriffs
in Fraser. When the deputies
picked up Hathaway he was car
rying an unloaded 16 guage
shotgun with five unexploded
shells in his coat pocket.
When asked by. Deputy Steve
Morris what he was going to do
with the gun, Hathaway was
quoted as saying he was going
to get the guy who pushed him
in the face for singing Hell in
Der Fuehrer's Face"
Hathaway, it seems, sang the
song in a Fraser bar. He sang
it with SO much gusto and SO
often that some of the patrons
b m annoyed and one of
them pushed" him in the face,
Morris said he learned on in
vestigation. The bartender call
ed Police Chief Walter Kimmer-
ly of Roseville to have Hatha-
way removed and Kimmerly' in
turn called the sheriffs office.
Arraigned this morning on a
drunk and disorderly charge be-
fore Justice Frank Jeanette,
Hathaway pleaded guilty. He
was committed to Jail for five
days when he failed to pay IS
fine and court costs.

Stores Stay Closed
Day after Christmas
War Workers Back on Jobs
While Clerks Enjoy Rest

This was one morning in the
history of Mount Clemens when
a cannon could have been fired
down any street in Mount
Clemens without hurting any
one.
That's how free the streets
were of traffic and pedestrians,
a condition brought about by
the fact that virtually all stores
in the downtown area were
closed for the day after one of
the quietest Christmas Days
ever experienced in this COM
munity.
A similar condition was noted
in all other Michigan commune
ties where the owners of stores
locked their doors early on
Christmas Eve to allow them
selves and their employees to en-
JOY an overly long holiday rest.
In Mount Clemens about the
only places doing business today
were the drug stores, restau-
rants and taverns. And even
these places found trade at a
snails pace.
Although many work S
Slept in" this morning, all de-
tense employees went back to
their tasks as required under
factory schedules which were
somewhat interrupted to allow
workers to observe Christmas in
the traditional manner.

and Macomb county residents
attended Christmas services yes
terday in their respective
churches as the birth of the
Christ Child was concentrated
in song and prayer.

(Delayed)-(R-After a hum
dred days and a bombing, this

When the first wave of troops

There was literally nothing

REDS ATTACK
German field headquarters
said the Red armies were at
lacking continuously in the Mid
die Don and in the Don-Volga
corridor before Stalingrad, but
declared the Soviets were halt

points.
A Nazi communique also re-
ported that the Russians had re-
newed attacks in force, with
planes, tanks and strong artil-
lcry support, in the Velikie Luki
sector northwest Of Moscow.
Dispatches indicated that the
plight of nearly 1000, 900 Axis
troops faced with entrapment in
Southern Russia was growing
hourly more critical.
On the North African front,
British headquarters announced
that Gen. Sir Bernard l.. Mont

A similar margin had been In

where gasoline rationing began

Prior to rationing, the OPA
said, many stations had enough
business 20 permit profitable
operations on a margin smaller
than three cents and their prices
were frozen at the lower levels
by maximum price regulations.
Since rationing reduced their
business, the OPA said, "such
stations are hard pressed to
make operating expenses"
The OPA also announced an
increase of three-tenths the OPA
said, "such stations are hard
pressed to make operating ex-
penses."
The OPA also announced an
increase of three-tenths of a

The increase was granted, OPA
explained, to "defray additional
