Head Says Malaria
Control Is Necessary
(Continued from page one)
method is to see that all infected
blood streams are freed of the ma
laria parasites, so that, no matter
? how many mosquitoes bite there
will be no parasites for them to
-transmit from one person to an
other.
Our safest, most reliable and best
known remedy for this are adequate
doses of sulphate of quinine Ten
grains of quinine every 8 hours for a
period of 3 days and then 10 grains
every night for a period of 8 weeks
is the old method advised by the
National Malaria Committee Later
they are advising that 20 grains of
quinine every day for 7 days will
do the same work. The patient can
take his choice It is best and cheap
est to buy the quinine by the ounce
and fill your own capsule* A num
ber naught capsule, both ends pack
ed. holds 5 grains of the quinine- Two
of these is the dose for anyone over
14 years of age. children in propor
tion The trouble is not making the
dose large enough If the parent
wishes to give the two-year-old ba
by 2 grains, all she will have to do
is to empty the number naught cap
sule, and divide it into five equal
parts, each part is a grain Two purta
is dose for baby. etc.
There is no need to suffer with
malaria until we get all areas drain
ed or screened. Quinine, taken as
stated, not only saves the patient
sickness but prevents it from being
carried to others.

Improvement Made
In Farm Program
Au-uupnrtant improvement in the
Agricultural Conservation Program,
effective in 1941, has been announc
ed by CI T Scott. Johnston County
farmer and chairman of the State
AAA committee. It provides for
more emphasis on the conservation
phases of the program, makes the
AAA program more adaptable to
all farms in the State, encourages
the production of food and feed
crops, and should greatly reduce the
cost of compliance.
"General soil-depleting allotments
will be discontinued with the 1941
program and payments will be based
upon the amount of soil-building ac
complished." Scott stated. "The far
mer who earns all soil-building units
will earn his maximum payments
for planting within special allot
ments, such as tobacco, cotton, pea
nuts and commercial win at potatoes
and vegetables in designated coun
ties"
As an example of how the new
Farmer Jones had set up for his farm
a total farm payment of $100, made
up of $50 for planting within spec
ial crop allotments and $50 to be
earned for carrying out practices,
such as seeding legumes and grasses,
winter cover crops and green man
ure crops, terracing, contour strip
cropping; forestry practices, hon
gardening, application of liming ma
terials. and the like.
"If Farmer Jones only carries out
enough soil-building practices to
cam $40 of hl? soll-buildlhg allow
ance, then he would only get $40 of
his special allotment payments, giv
ing Farmer Jones a final total pay
ment of $80 instead of $100. That's
because he earned only 80 per cent
of his soil-building goal. Of course,
if he carried out enough practice to
earn his entire $50 in soil-building
allowance, he would receive his full i
$50 for planting within special crop |
allotments."

(Greece Is Holding
Firm Against The
Invading Italians
Turkey IVorlaims Its Mliance
Jo Itritain. lint Will Not
Muter War Now
Holding dear their mutual inde- ;
petitionee, ah army of 100.000 Greeks,
supported by their fellow country
men and by England, is offering a
stubborn resistance to the invading
Italian hordes. Mussolini's modern- j
i/ed troops are being thrown back |
along the rugged front at a number |
of points, tin* defenders turning back
several mechanized units, including
modern tanks, and isolating several
companies.
The Greek attack i^ adding confu
sion to an already confusing world.
No real state of war is said to exist,
oiie report stating today that the
Greek ambassador to Italy continues
in Rome and that the Italian am
bassador to Greece continues in Ath- 1
ens. The war is gaining momentum 1
in southern Europe, however, and
considerable activity in the air is j
being reported there. Italian planes
are bombing close to Athens, con
siderable damage having been done
to the airport there. British planes,
retaliating for the Greeks, poured
death and destruction from the air
on Naples, Italy. It was the first time
that air attacks have been directed!
on that portion of the boot.
Unrest in the Balkans is growing
steadily. Turkey today referred to
Britain as her ally, the declaration
carrying much meaning at this par
ticular time. Greece, stating that she
ean handle the Italian situation if
Bulgaria dot s not enter the picture,
has not called upon Turkey for aid.
Present indications point to an inva
ion of Turkey by Germany. If that
plan is followed and if Russia docs
not take a hand, the outlook for Brit
ain will grow darker It is believed
that Mussolini and Hitler are becom
ing suspicious of each other, that
Mussolini's move into Greece does
not have the general approval of
Hitler. It is possible that the two
and same thing.
Air raids over London were re
newed today after a comparatively
quiet night. Forty planes, including
six Italian bombers, were routed in
one of three raids made on the city
up until noon.
Holding a watchful eye over the
possibility of an alliance between
France and Germany, the United
States is sending out several naval
units and a number of planes, to the
South. Possibly the forces will cruise
around Martique and investigate a
report that a German submarine had
been sighted near the Panama canal.
There's a report today still main
taining that war between the United
States and Japan is likely.
A call for stepping up air plane
production to 50,000 units annually
in this country is being heard in
Washington.

The list of delinquents is the small
