The possible existence OF a

day by Police Chief Arthur /.

protection from a 40 year = old
local man.
Chief Rosso said that a How

officers on Thanksgiving Day

anonymous letter and packet
of sand like substance which had
been postmarked in the city
Nov. 20. The letter, Rosso said,

Commission Permits
tNEA Telephoto,

A petition for bus license
to service outlying areas of the
city was filed Wednesday night
with the Mount Clemens City
Commission by Angelo Fisher,
local businessman.
The commission tabled the
application for one week so that
the city .ttorney could check the

franchise.
Fisher told the commission
that he planned to have only
one bus at first to service the
Selfridge Homes area of the city.
He added, however, that he has
already drawn up plans to have
bus lines running out to the Mu-
nicipal Beach, along South Riv-
er road. and to the future Iron
rite and Electromaster plants.
He said that ii was his plan
to offer transportation to school
children from these areas. The
Commission commended tn e
plan and felt that it should be
Of great benefit to the school
children during the coming win
ter months.
The bus route to Selfridge
Homes will be put into effect
as soon as the bus license is
granted, Fisher said.

expected to attack anywhere,
anytime" since there appear

Pearl Harbor attack have been
prevented with the prospect
that it would have come after
Japan consolidated the gains
she would have made without
