What is Cancer?
Cancer is a disorderly growth of
cells of the body's tissues. It is not
governed by the laws which con
trol the growth of normal cells. If
it is not destroyed or removed, it
never ceases to grow and event
ually causes death.
See your doctor! Cancer can be
cured if detected in time.

at 185 horsepower.
Firedome models include a four
door sedan. Sportsman hardtop,

The eight new DeSoto models for
1955 are dimensionally and statis
tically the longest, lowest, roomiest
and most powerful in the history
of the company (exclusive of spe
cial purpose vehicles.!
Built on a newly designed chas
sis with a wheelbase of 126 inches,
the 1955 models have an overall
length of 217.9 inches: height has
been reduced in the four-door
models to 60.6 inches and 59.9 in
ches in the hardtops and converti
bles: hip room and leg room has
been substantially increased in all
models, with front seats over 64
inches wide and driver leg room
measuring more than 44 inches.
J. B. Wagstaff. DeSoto vice pres
ident in charge of sales, said that
production of the 1955 models has
been under way since September
following a changeover period of
several weeks, and that factory
output has been geared to provide
an even flow' of shipments to meet
anticipated heavy buyer demands.
All dealers have their initial “sam
ple" cars, he said, and additional
shipments are en-route.

to be growing too fat and
fortyish to appreciate them. At
any rate, Lineolnton stayed
away in droves from Friday's
weekly dance at the American
Legion Hut.
It's a shame, because if Lin
colnton doesn't turn out in suffi
cient numbers for these weekly
hops, the Rhythm Master are go
ing to accept other weekend en
gagements. and the mirth of
Walker valley will be stilled. The
Rhythm Masters will try it for a
week or two more—to determine
whether there is any life left in
Lineolnton—or whether the entire
town should march en masse to
Dallas Lee’s drugstore for sul

SATURDAY NIGHT
This week’s dance will be Sat
urday night from 8:30 to mid
night. You can bring your lady
and shake a pair of legs for $1.50
a couple. Tire music is guaranteed.
If you’re not satisfied you can
ask for your money back —and try
t.o get it! But if you’re not pleas

ORGANIZED YEAR
The Rhythm Masters w'ere or
ganized nearly a year ago, and
have been in demand for numer
ous local functions, including
benefits. About six weeks ago. they
began the Saturday night dances
at the Legion Hut. They will con
tinue them if there is sufficient
interest.
Also, the Rhythm Masters
are available for prlvte parties,
homecomings, reunions, public
performances, or to serenade
your mother-in-law. But they're
a group that only community
support can keep alive.
