A ‘-m- CRnlT THE NEWS.JOURNAL • . THUBSDATr FEBRUARY 16,1950 I t is Jtoual Report On II. S. Savings Bonds Tile Annual Report of U. S. Savings Bond sales in North Car- iKlM was received today by J. L. lidNeiU, Hoke County Chairman, ftTHU Allison James, State Di rector in Greensboro. According to the Report the people of Hoke county are now kolding a net backlog of U. S. Savings Bonds amounting to $1,- 4M,028.00. This figure represents total E. F and G Bonds purchased in the county since May 1941, with all cash-ins and redemptions de ducted as of December 31, 1949. ■“This splendid reserv'e of liquid assets brings in to our commun ity annually interest and accruals amounting to about 2’i% of these holdings,” said Chairman McNeill. Savings Bonds sales in Hoke Cc."..Ly for the year 1949, Janu- ar.. I through December’31, were as folows: Senes E, $97,155.00 Seiies F, $2,960.00; Series G, $5,- 50.’.00; total 1949 sales $105,615. T^e county chairman stated that according to the Report the cur rent *, alue of U. S. Savings Bonds aulatanding is greater than the amount held during the wartime peak in 1945. He .said that the people of North Carolina in the 100 counties hold a loteJ of $657 million in Savings Bonds On a national basis, he said, “Individuals hold more than $48.5 billion, in cash value, in Savings Bonds of which $33.8 billion is in Sei'ies E bonds.” Mr. McNeill said that other facts in the report show that 42 firms in the state in 1949 were added to the list of those operat ing the payroll Savings plans for purchase of Bonds by employees. North Carolina’s Women’s Clubs and Auxiliaries have set a goal of a Bondra-Member for each an nual Bond Drive. The 4-H Club boys and girls of the state have Growers Find Liquid Fertilizer Helping Tobacco Tobacco growers in mamy of the growing areas are finding that their crops are being helped con siderably by the use of liquid fer tilizers. Laquid fertilizer is com paratively new to local growers, but liquid fertilizer itself is not new. It has been used extensive ly as an aid to tobacco growers in Kentucky since 1944. The first experiments with li quid fertilizer were conducted by Prof. Alex Laurie, of Ohio State University and Dr. 'V. A. Tiejens of Rutgers University. The results of their experiments were so a^ mazing that the use of Uquid fer tilizer was quickly adopted by the large growers in the middle west. Tobacco growers in Kentucky and parts of the Carolinas were asked to use liquid fertilizer on their plant beds and as a booster when transplanting; they found that their plant beds were more resistant to blue mold and the plants were ready for the field at an earlier date. Many reported that less beds were needed where liquid fertilizer had been used. Liquid fertilizer used in the set ter barrel at the time of trans planting, at the ratfe of one quart to 50 gal. of water, reducing wilt ing of the plants and reduced re planting 'cost greatly. This also resulted in sturdier, finer quality plants that were topped from two to four leaves taller than plants grown in the ordinary way. — -0 BROADWAY AND MAIN STREET Too Little for Brains' Idea • ^ Is Hindering Research Medicine By BILLY ROSE Today, Fd like to tell you about a talk I had with a doctor who is doing research work at one of the New York cancer clinics. He made me promise not to use his name because he was afraid htf might be blacklisted by the foundation which pays his salary. I began by asking him to sketch in his pre-research career. “The usual 10-year grind,’’ he said. “Four years of college, four more at medical school, a year as intern, and a year in residency train ing.” “What made you go into research?” » Billy Bose New Construction Method To Save State Money Bids received for the Apart ment-Dormitory building at the State Sanatorium at McCain, N. C. Feb. 7 have now been tabulat- inaugurated a Savings Bonds thrift project which is being adopted na tionally. North Carolina public schools are continuing to carry «n successfully their thrift pro gram through purchases of Sav ings Stamps. The Report stated that the con ed and show a marked saving on a new construction method em ployed, says Frank Turner as spokesman for the Engineering Office of the Budget Bureau in Raleigh. The new design, created by F. Carter 'Williams, Raleigh arch- tiauing success of the Savings itect, employs Reinforced Row- Bonds program is due mainly to lok Brick walls, which system af the fine interest and active sup port of many patriotic and com munity spirited volunteer work- fords greater strength with thin ner walls than ordinary construc tion. This is said to be the pri ces who contribute time, effort mary reason for the economy. and in many cases financial sup port to the promotion of Savings Bonds sales. -0- Eleven business firms and or ganizations of Haywood County Low bidder on the new struc ture was Wilson-Ledford Con struction Co. of Gastonia, who "Like a lot of young doctors,” he said, “I couldn’t get used to sitting by while a patient y,. died simply because I didn’t know any thing else I could do for him. Every time !( looked up into the eyes of relatives gathered around the bed of a man in the last stages of cancer, I told myself that my job wasn’t to go on using the hit-or-miss tech niques but to get into a laboratory and help find the real cure.” "How did you go about getting started?” ' “I made the usual applicatiems,” said the M.D., “but I soon found the hospitals and universities had no funds" to hire research men, and that I couldn’t get a job unless a foundation paid my salary. To complicate things, fnost foundations won’t give you a fellowship unless you first have a job. In addition, it’s almost Impossible to get a grant until you’ve published a cer tain number of scientific papers and, of course, you can’t publish such papers until you’ve worked in a laboratory and had a chance to do research worth writing about; “It finally boiled down to this— I could work for nothing in a can cer laboratory, or I could take a job paying $120 a week doing research for a cosmetic outfit. Well, I had just gotten married and was ready to settle for the money, but my wife wouldn’t hear of it—she went out and got an office Job and made me stick to my test tubes.” • • • “HOW LONG did you work for free?” “About a year,” said the doctor, “and then the head of the medical center—a very decent guy—squeezed me onto the payroll at 1^.87 a week." “You could have earned more tvashing dishes.” "We managed to get by," smd the medico, "but the fottowing year my wife bad a baby and had to quit her job. After that, it was pretty rugged. As, for instance. we couldn’t afford to buy a crib, and the youngster had to sleep in a donated baby carriage. “Somehow, though, we pulled our way through, and by the end of the following year I had gotten a couple of research pieces published. With these to back me up, I applied for a fellowship paying $3,000 a year.” •“Minus withholding tax, I pre sume.” “It may not sound like much, but I felt like John D., Jr. when the grant came through,” said the doctor. “Last year, I went through the application rigmarole again— 275 typed pages—and this time I got the full $3,600. • * • “WHAT DO TOU DO to earn aU that money?” I said. “I’m in charge of three cancer projects and help on half a dozen others. On the side, I run a throat clinic, work in the wards and give seminars.” “Any chance of a raise?” “I’m afraid not,” said the doctor, “and, as far as fellowships are con cerned, I’m getting near the end of the line. I’m 29 now, and the founda tions don’t like to make grants to men over 30.” “There’s always the job in the industrial lab.” I said. "It may come to that,” said the Af. D., "but I hope not. No mat- ter what it pays, I want to keep plugging away on cancer. It seems a lot more important than de veloping a new shade of face powder ., " ' Ihe day after our talk, I hap pened to pass the medical sky scraper in which the young doctor works, and I noticed that an addi tional wing was under construction. Dozens of steel workers, bricklay ers and carpenters—all averaging around a hundred a week—were getting in each other’s way. ^ Over the half-finished entrance was a space wUch looked at if it might eventually be filled with a block of marble on which a fitting inscription would be carved. “I know what It ought to be,” I said to myself.’ “Too much for bricks, too little for brains.’ ” • f MORE ABOUT SCHOOL NEWS tional system.

The pupils of Miss Mayme Mc Keithan’s room have put up spell ing thermometers. Each Friday Miss McKeithan takes the spell ing grades and two pupils change the reading of the thermometers to suit the grades of the week. Out of a cass of forty-three, twen ty-two made a perfect score last week. Miss Mayme McKeithan’s art classes are putting up the best of the spring and winter scenes th^t they have drawn during the year. This exhibit shows excellent work that the art classes have done.
