When a car wins America as quickly as the Pontiac
it must have something most buyers want. Drive a
Pontiac just once and you'll know it has. The feeling of super safety you get from the solid steeT "Turret-Top" Body by Fisher, triple-sealed hydraulic

Cancer is. hot a germ disease and
therefore is not "catching." It is
not due to- something which coiries
into-'* the Body from* without,<.as. is
true of tuberculosis and typhoid
fever.' A "cancer is a" part of the
body itself. It develops through the
growth of a, .single cell or cells. that
originally belong  to  the.body.
To understand the nature of cancer one niust consider growth. All
the organs and tissues _f» the body
come from a single fertilized egg-
cell. As this repeatedly divide's, the
resulting groups -* of cells become
differentiated one fi*om another. Some
are destined to form bones; others
skin, and still others the internal organs.
Normally all this takes place with
due regard to the laws of growth.
Mutual relationship between the various kinds of cells are respected.
Most important of all, there are restraining* influences which check
growth when organs have reached
the proper size. Thus the liver does
not continue to increase in size indefinitely, but reaches in adult life
a period when further formation of
new cells is just sufficient to replace
loss.   Then growth ceases.
This is not true of cancer. The
cells of a canser, although originally body cells, have broken away from
all restraining influences. They
grow lawlessly, without purpose, and
to tlie deteriment of the body. They
have the capacity for limitless
growth. :
Although tlie figure of speech may
easily be overworked, a cancer is
very much like a criminal group in
a nation. It disregards laws and accomplishes no useful purpose, mean-
j while gaining* its support from the
law-abiding portions of the body,
which it may evenually completely
destroy,
j Wild growth of body cells is therefore the real nature of cancer. Destruction or removal of the rebellious
cells is the only method of cure. A
future article will tell something of
how these methods are applied.
VENERABLE CLARKSTON
COUPLE MARRIED FOR
OVER HALF CENTURY
Rotarians celebrated Flag Day, at
their meeting at The Tavern last
Thursday noon, and were fortunate in
having as guest speaker Prof. Slawson of the U. of M., who told of the
origin of flags; and -something of the
history of our own.
... Originally flags ^were used simply
as a means 6f*'idehtifyHig f|irticip_tif_
in war, for in ancient days all soldiers wore visors and in order to be
able to distinguish their comrades
from the enemy, heralds were devised with distinguishing insignias, worn
at shoulder, or attached to spears.
From this humble beginning was
evolved the flags of the nations as
they are now used.
Questioned as to the situation in
the far East, Prof. Slawson gave his
views along that line, much to the
edification of his audience. Having
made a study of conditions in China
and Japan, he stated that the latter
is not so eager to acquire more territory as-they are to extend the trading area of the empire; that were it
not for the boycoting of Japanese
goods by the Chinese, Japan would be
a very good neighbor. But, the boy-
cot persists, and as a result we have
Japan controlling Manchuria, and
slowly but surely extending her zone
of authority into China. The Japs
have a clever system; they bite off
a chunk, and as the Chinese make
more or less trouble along* the border,
Japan simply widens the territory in
order to protect her garrisons and tlie
few of her subjects who follow their
army into new territory.
Mr. Slawson believes Japan does
not want war with any nation, as
they are too poor for much of a struggle, but they are not too poor to do
considerable bluffing, and are very determined to find an outlet for tlieir
manufactured products .
Other guests of the club were Harry Miller of Detroit, Thomas A.
Lowry of Ann Arbor and Fred H.
Nissly of Ypsilanti.
ft was a tired but happy bunch of
ball players! that returned from Manchester Sunday evening, and they
had good reason for feeling jubilant,
, having "finally hit their stride in the
r great national pastime and trimmed
Manchester, despite the fact the lat-
madejialmost twice ;*as many hits off
fioefAs they "*_*&e*kble to- smash out
off Brietenwischer. Hoeft kept Manchester's 11 blows well scattered and
Saline chalked up her first victory of
the season, 5 to 3. Saline played an
errorless game, but Manchester had
five chalked up againest them.
Clinton defeated Hamburg, 3 to 2,
and Milan nosed out Dexter, 6 to 5.
On Sunday Milan will appear here.

Fifty-eight years of wedded bliss
was*" observed Thursday by Mr. and
Mrs. Marshall LeBaron, prominent
Clarkston couple residing at" 817 Seventh street.
In 1877, May 30, Mr. and Mrs. LeBaron took the marriage vows at Tecumseh, Mich., and since that time
followed farming in Kansas and Col-
j orado before coming to Idaho in 1904,
settling on a tract of land near Cavendish in Clearwater county. The
couple moved to Clarkston about ten
years ago, where they have since
[ lived.
f Mr. LeBaron, who rounded out 90
! years of active life May 10, is reminiscent of the "good old days" when
such luxuries as telephones, automobiles, radio and other modern conveniences were barely heard of.
He recalls the trying days of farming in the midwest and the arduous
journey to the west. He has recollections of the Civil war but never had
the opportunity to -meet Abraham
Lincoln, General Grant and other
dignitaries of the past.
He has been a member of the Masonic lodge 63 years and he said he
read the first issue of the Tribune
sent him by his brother.
He was born May 10, 1845, in York
township, Washtenaw county, Michigan.
The LeBarons have seven children:
Miss Carrie LeBaron, Clarkston; W.
S. LeBaron, Denver, Colo.; B. C. LeBaron, Jefferson City, Mo.; Mrs. Reed
Klapp, Spokane; Ray and Frank LeBaron, Cavendish, and Mrs. Ervin
Armstrong, Lapwai.—Clarkston (Idaho) Tribune.

PINCKNEY  CELEBRATES
ITS CENTENNIAL
The old age pension bill adopted
by the 1935 legislature is designed
to substitute immediate cash payments for pro-rata payments based
on the income from the uncollectable
head tax. Before you can qualify
for an old age pension you:
Must have lived in Michigan for
ten years.
Must have an income of less than
$30 a month.
Must be without relatives liable
for your support.
Must have less than $3,500 worth
of real estate.
Must have a record free from felony convictions for the last five
years.
Must have habitually failed to
work.-
After 1940 the applicant need be
only 65 years old. He makes his
request for a pension to the county
old age assistance board consisting
of the county agent, a judge of probate and a county superintendent of
the poor. The board determines
elgibility.
The entire administration of the
old age pension act is directly under
the . state welfare director, now
Grover C. Dillman. The director
will organize a central old age assistance bureau at Lansing to replace the present pension bureau.
An appropriation from the state
general fund of $2,000,000 to pay
pensions is carried in the special
budget. It is said the federal government will match that sum with a
like amount.
The pensioner will be paid the
difference between his private income
and $30 a month. If there are two
pensioners in one famliy, both will
receive aid but in a less amount than
if they lived singly. Dillman estimates 5,000 persons now are receiving pensions averaging $10 a month.
He plans to have the new* pension in
effect by -July 1, and anticipates
average pensions of $20.
Monday evening, at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. Herman Gross, occurred*
the marriage of tlieir daughter, Miss
Sylvia, to Ray Shaw of Ann Arbor.
Rev. Adolf Lederer performed the
ceremony in the presence of tlie immediate relatives of the bride and
bridegroom. The wedding march was
played by Mrs. Rudolph Gross.
Mr. and Mrs. Shaw left after the
ceremony for tlieir home in Ann Arbor. The Observer wishes them long
life and much-happiness.

The village of Pinckney, in Livingston county, will celebrate its centennial on July 4, 5," 6, 1935. This
little village was platted and placed
on the market by Prof. William Kirk-
land, a teacher of Latin and literature in Oneida University, New York,
who came to Michigan in 1834. The
first "settler in the section and in tho
county as well was Col.. Solomon
Peterson, who came from New York
state and took up land in 1826. Sand-
ford Marble, a native of Connecticut, built the first house in 1831.
The program for the three days'
events includes a parade with floats
the first day and a Miss Pinckney
contest. On each day there will be
races, athletic events and band concerts. A speaking program, featuring old timers and prominent men,
will also be put on each afternoon.
Each evening the John B. Rogers
Co. of Fostoria, Ohio, will put on a
historical pageant depicting early
life in Pinckney and vicinity.
A ball game is scheduled for each
day and a dance each evening.

In gloomy tones we need not cry—
"How many things there are to buy!"
Here is a thought for you and me—
"The best things in life are free."
The air, the sunshine and the sea,
All gladness, beauty-—these are free.
Our faithful friendships, sympathy,
The joys of living—these are free.
The budding blossom, stalwart tree,
God's open country—these are free.
All loving service, loyalty,
Our God's protection—these are free.
The more we look, the more -we see
How many precious things are free.
The heart will find more than the eye
Of things we do not have to buy.
Let's stop and think; let's know and
feel
That things like these are truly real.
Yes, we think how very rich we are
When all the best of things are free.
