George Putts went to Lafayette today to consult a specialist about a cancerous growth on his right cheek. It has been causing him a lot of trouble for two or three years and although he has had it cut out twice it is coming back again. George is a young man and the fear of a cancer is very discouraging to him. Mrs. Fred Renicker and children went to Delphi today to visit her people for a few days.
