The State Health Department
has approved the city's detailed
plans for two large interceptor
sewers running on the east and

the sewer job, an amount which
Pettingill did not estimate.

complete, as far as design is
concerned. This also will be
submitted for state approval:

Midnight Bar
Curfew Lifted
Toverns Nay Now
Operote TO z A. N.

All bars In Macomb county
may remain open until 2 a. m.
hereafter following the lifting
OF the curfew ban by War Mo-
bilizer Fred M. Vinson.
Police Chief Arthur l. Rosso
stated today that he received a
communication from state Lii
quor Control Commission in
forming him that the curfew
had been rescinded for this area
and that the old closing time will
again be in effect.
Although the bars remained
open last night until 2. operat-
ors of bars and taverns in Mount
Clemens reported no great in
crease in business.
Mount Clemens police report
ed that there was little hilarity
at the late hour and most of
t he last customers behaved
themselves. There was only one
arrest for intoxication.
The lifting of the curfew edict
ends the heated controversy con-
corning the operators in unin-
corporated places who were clos
ing an hour later than bars in
cities. The reason for this diver
slty in the closing time was that
the former places were operat-
ing under Central War Time and
the places in the cities under
Eastern War Time.

New Chevrolet
On Display AT
Lyons Motor Co.

Cleaning new 1916 Chevrolets,
sounding an appealing note in
sleek, modern styling, and en-
bodying the latest results of new
engineering progress, are now
on display at the Lyons Motor
Co., of Pascagoula, located on
North Pascagoula street.
The new models mark an out
standing step in Chevrolet's
progress as top producer in the
automotive industry" said MI.
Lyons, manager of the company.
More Chevrolets than any other
motor car were sold in 10 of the
IL years of prewar automotive
production. We are confident
that the new postwar car will
once again be a sales winner.
"One of the most striking new
features, which gives evidence
of the inherent overall artistry
of these cars, is the completely
new front-end treatment, rede-
signed to emphasize the low,
modish lines. The bumper, bum
per guards, radiator grille, park
ing lamps. hood ornament and
name emblem all present an APP
pearance of new, graceful rug
gedness."
Outstanding style distinction
is Immediately apparent in the
stunning array of color combina-
tons on the bodies by Fisher for
the 1916 Chevrolet. Six differ
ent color schemes r available
on all regular models. A range
of three solid colors is provid-
ed, and in addition, ultra-smart
two-tone hues are available on
specification, all in the newest
and most appealing shades.
The 1916 Chevrolet appears in
three lines: the Stylemaster, Of
fering unusual refinements in the
lowest-price bracket; the Fleet
master, with further advanced
finish and appointments, and the
Fleetline, most attractively styled
model Chevrolet ever has Of
fered.
The first Chevrolet to come
from factory production lines is
the popular Stylemaster sport Sc
dan, a four-door model which is
being featured in the initial dis
play by the Lyons Motor Co. AS
manufacturing conditions and
available materials permit, it is
planned to broaden production
schedules to include such models
as town sedans, business coupes
and other types. Fleetmaster and
Fleetline output will follow.
Progress in the field of syn
thetic rubber is one example of
a wartime gain. In the new mod
els, use of this material has re-
suited, in a number of specific
instances, in improvements over
past manufacturing processes.
