When Mr. Granger observed
that some language might be
changed" Representative Smith,

able to devise some method to
eliminate deception"
Mr.. Smith asserted there was "a
very strong lobby behind this

Butter interests appeared. mean
while, to have won a supporter
from the South, where most Of the
fight on behalf of margarine has
come thus far.
Representative Cox, Democrat

voted for last years bill, declared
that. the oleo industry wants te

The Ottawa County Cancer So
ciety has been going about its
business quietly and without much
fanfare, so we figure it's time we
gave it a boost over the back fence
in order that you'll give it some
attention. Last year the society's
campaign was one of an educa-
tional nature in which the men,
bers did grand job of informing
the public of the why's and where
fors of cancer. The society can
not pay doctor fees or hospital
bills for patients but it does buy
supplies, medicines and pay for
transportation to and from hospi-
tails or clinics for patients who
need this service. The society has
been able to do these things only
because of contributions it has
received from generous donors. SO
this years campaign will be one
to raise funds in order that the
good work may continue.
