Medical sdentiste are now try
ing to develop an agent that wiU
prevent the lnfec(,ion. The pro
fessors are working on the syn-
/. thesis and preliminar>’ evaluation
of some quinoline - quinones
which possess potential anti-ma
larial activity.
Presently, the group' of drugs
being used on malaria patients
enters the body and is convert-
. cd or metabolized with little ef-
.fect. But some drugs, instead of
becoming Inactivated prior to
excretion as is the normal pro
cedure for most drugs, become
more activated following the
metabolism process. Hargreaves’
quinine preparation appears to
be 16 times more active when
excreted.
The professors hope to pep up
the old quinine and puinine sub
stitutes, synthesizing quinoline-
quinone derivatives which will

If the Isolated compound is
more powerful, might it also be
more toxic? Yes, the AU profes
sors say, but such a powerful
drug might also knock out the
parasite that causes infection.
The synthetic ^uld be more
poisonous, but it could also, in
siafe doses, be more effective.

nated by "the old Mexican custom
of young boys serenading be
neath their girlfriends’ windows
at night, a far cry from their
own blaring record players back
in the states.
The little town is virtually un
touched by U. S. commercialism,
she writes, arid “the night to re
member” came when the towns
people held a fiesta at the Amer
ican quarters. '
“They came, the old and. the
young, till they filled the court
yard with- laughter and danc
ing,” writes Miss Mary Kennedy
of Kingstree, S. C., another adult
adviser.
“Flashing cameras recorded
the whirling, brilliance of the
costumes, the skill and precision
of the cowboys and the hand
some features of the Caballeros,”
she said.
"But memory alone' can record
the feeling, as the music died a-
way, sitting fteside new-found
friends — light, love, peace, and
God Himself seemed very near.”
