Out Jap Goods
Will Invest in
u. S. Defense Bonds

In novel solution to the
"made in Japan" bugaboo that
plaques countless merchants up
and down the breadth of the
nation the S. S. Kresge stores
in Mount Clemens today reveal
ed that they plan to sell out all
such items at, or below, cost
and to invest the returns imme-
ditely in United States Defense
Bonds.

Alvin w. Hammeister, man.
ager of the local S. S. Kresge
Csc to 81 stores, told The Daily
Monitor today that an impartial
check of the cash register where
in all made in Japan" items are
rung-up for sale. will be made
by a disinterested party and
that something like 5000 invest
ed in the Mount Clemens stock

operated by the firm, will be
sold out at marvelously low fig
ures.
VARIED BARGAINS
Many real bargains will be Of
fered, the Kresge management
indicated, including rugs, table
cloths and novelties. The sale,
opening Wednesday, will last
one full week.
Working upon the theory that
the Japancse-made goods, with
drawn from sale Immediately
upon the outbreak of hostilities,
constituted no penalty to Nip
pons businessmen as 1t lay stored
in Mount Clemens easements,
(for they had received full pay
ment long since), the Kresge Of
ficials determined upon this
means of Kidding themselves of
the stock at low prices and at the
same time offering substantial
funds for use in the nations de-
Tense effort.
DETROIT OPINION
Charles E. Boyd, secretary Of
the Detroit Retail Merchants As
ISOLATION, made the following
statement concerning frozen
Japanese stocks:
when the Japanese goods In
this country were taken off sale,
millions of dollars went out OF
circulation, the state and federal
governments lost the tax ben
efits that accrue through. retail
commerce, and the American
public lost the usefulness Of
hundreds of finished manufac-
tured articles. The Japs lost not
one thing.
"Why should we save with one
hand and throw away with the
other? Whether we use that jap
anese merchandise means alb
solutely nothing to Japan now.
The Japs have their money. They
we're paid long ago. American
merchants should bring out their
japanese merchandise, sell 1t at
once and urn 1t into wages,
taxes and capital to keep Amer
lea producing"

Fisher Favors
Plan
Commission Condidot
Outlines Detectives

Angelo Fisher, candidate for
nomination to the office of city
commissioner today outlined his
views in the following voluntary
statement of his aims:
To the voters of -Aount Glenn
ems.
1t is one of my firm convic-
tons that the health of the cit
liens of a community like ours
is one. of the primary obliga-
tons of city government. 1t
seems to me that sanitation Is a
primary duty of the City to
eliminate disease. If some eff
ficient system of garbage col
lection can be established where
all garbage will be collected,
then germ carrying vermin, rats,
flys and mosquitoes can't feed
and breed from decaying gar
bage. Any small cost per cit
liens will pay large dividends
in health improvement. I feel
that any disease prevented
doesn't need to be cured. An
ounce of prevention is worth a
pound of cure. If ! am elected
a city commissioner this prob
lem will get my earnest atten-
ton.
In this same connection of
providing means for health i'm
provement the children are those
most apt to be affected, because
one case of disease can be spread
because of their close contact
while at school. / feel that these
children should be provided
with more recreation than they
now get. What is better than
healthy children in our city. The
ice skating Kinks we have had
are not sufficient. They have
not been consistently maintain
ed. I realize that this is affect
ed by the weather, but every
opportunity for flooding and
freezing should be taken advan-
tage Of. I'm sure other activities
can be developed and maintain
ed by the city. We have a very
definite weakness in this work
in Mount Clemens.
We have another problem in
Mount Clemens which affects all
business men and people who
try to buy at Mount Clemens
stores, that is our long standing
parking problem. ! understand
that the Automobile Club of
Michigan made very scientific
survey of this difficulty for US
and nothing was done about 1t.
This problem is certainly not too
difficult to solve. 1t will help
all of us living here. Let's do
something about it! If I am
elected I want something done
about this!
One thing I want to make clear
at the outset of my campaign for
City Commissioner is that I am
not tied or obligated to any
particular group. am seeking
this office at the insistency Of
many of my fellow citizens, and
I feel the voters can easily de-
termine my qualifications for the
office since my business Is here
along with my home and family.
OF course, I understand full
well, that I may not be able to
accomplish what I want to, il a
majority of the city commission
ers vote against a proposition.
but I certainly will let the cit
liens know what am trying
to accomplish, If you choose me
as q city commissioner.
