CITES DEFIANCE
Fjetunld said that his action
was prompted by the defiance
of Mount Clemens city authori-
ties in refusing to report bars
found in violation of the curfew
edict. He said that statements
made last night by City Attor-
ney Bert v. Nunneley to a group
of bar proprietors, during the
course of the city commission
meeting, formed the basis for his
determination to enforce the act.
At least two bars in the city
were reported to have been in
fragrant violation of the WINGS
curfew regulations, Fjetlund
said.
Nunneley last night openly
advised Police Chief Arthur I.

New York -- Santa Claus is on a spending spree this year, and no ofolin'. For him price Is no object even for the simplest gadgets. Things you can buy in the dime store are made up into super de luxe items or jewelry shops, which up the price a thousand times and more. Utility items that usually are made of wood and tin, now come in solid gold and are studded with jewels.
 For instancea friend with a dog might like to call him in from his romp with a solid gold whistle. Its low, Well-modulated toot is worth 800. Usell and expensive gifts for the family are a tape measure in a gold case for SIP, collapsible ruler for $ll4. and tiny buttonhook for $36.
 HatpinS at $l,600 jab no more effectively than do 25-cent ones, but the hoity-toity ones are prettily dec- orated with rubies. If that price seems a litle steep, Cartier also has nice pearl one for $250, a perfect gift for a distant female relative. s35O BUMBERSHOOT
 An aging aunt will be less likely to forget her umbrella if you buy for 1t gold and jade enamel swans head handle studded with rubies and diamonds. You can weight the toe her Christmas stocking with it for $350
 Your temperature rises slightly when you see the price tag of a sapphire and gold thermometer. It sells for $430, but it registers ac- curately the warmth of the rarif1ed air the owner breathes.
 Now that hosteSses are passing cigarettes again, cigaret box is a thoughtful gift. There is 8 charm ing gold and sapphire number for SLIPS. Masculine smokers might prefer the simple gold case with a Barleycorn design on the outside, and room for Is cigarets inside. All that beautiful simplicity comes for $2,03O. And with flick of the wrist a fellow can light up with $162 gold lighter.
