Mount Clemens and points south,
it will be 8 a. m, in Romeo,
Armada, Richmond and, points

munities, with Mount Clemens
and points near Detroit sticking
with Detroit which refuses to
change. Administrators of the
County Building are on the spot.
Court cases and meetings set for
$50 a. m, for instance, would
be $50 to North Macombers. A
North Macomb County man
scheduled to appear in frankie
Jeannette's justice court at 10
a. m, would show up at 8 a. m.

HERE & THERE-A bunch of
teen-age kids held an all-night
drinking party ina St. Clair
Shores home this week. The
drinks ran low, so 19-year-old
George Pruitt slipped out about
3 a. m, and returned with an
armful of whiskey bottles, a
carton of cigarettes, some rolled
coins AND q loaded 80 calibre
revolver. He showed off" with
the gun, and bullet ploughed
through his brain, bringing in
slant death. Next morning John
Mirth of the Mario reported the
gun, whiskey, cigarettes and
cash missing from his club. :.

auto-crash deaths of four young
people killed at Nine Mile and
Hoover last October. Sup

posal, so the most recent, official
county population, 136,245, will
probably stand. Harrison
