Y. at the age of 94 last January 7, has bequeathed $50,000 to Salem Academy and College. The gift is to be a memorial to his mother who attended Salem Academy in 1856 and 1857. It will be added to the unrestricted endowment fund of the Academy and College. Mr. Morehead was born in Spray, North Carolina, in Rockingham County. He attended the Moravian Boy’s School in Salem, now Win ston-Salem, and graduated from UNC in 1891. His long career in cluded service as an engineer, in dustrialist, diplomat, and public servant. He was the founder of Union Carbide Corporation. John Motley Morehead once told a graduating class in an address, “Money doesn’t bring happiness but it helps to quiet the nerves.” This, perhaps, along with his being a friend to so many colleges, uni versities, and hospitals, is the rea son for his benevolence. His most well-known gifts have been to his alma mater, UNC. It is estimated that his donations there average $1,000 a day. He established the John Motley More head scholarship program in 1945 to which he has contributed more than $13 million. In bequesting the sum to Salem, Morehead stated simply, “I hereby give and bequeath to the Salem Female Academy and College . . . this $50,000 gift to its permanent Endowment Fund and to be called ‘The Mary Lily Connally Morehead Fund’ as a memorial to my mother who attended said academy in the years 1856 and 1857.’’ various labs, some ot wnicn are Hematology, Urinalysis, Bacterio logy, Blood Chemistry, and the Blood Bank.

C. —• VISTA — Volunteers In Service To America —this month launched a full scale effort to recruit college students for active service in the nationwide war against poverty. A major part of this administra tion’s anti-poverty program, VISTA is sending its recruiting staff to colleges and universities across the nation. Upon invitation, recruiters will tell students of the opportunity VISTA offers for personal partici pation in the struggle to eliminate the poverty engulfing one-fifth of the nation’s population. Often described as the Peace Corps at home, VISTA is seeking men and women over 18 who are willing to give a year of their talents and energies to help the poor help themselves. VISTA Volunteers will live and work with the poverty-stricken in migrant laborer camps, Indian reservations, urban slums, rural areas, and in stitutions for the physically handi capped, mentally ill and mentally retarded. Current plans call for 5,000 Vol unteers to be selected, trained, and assigned to local projects through out the United States and its Terri tories during 1965. By January 18, Sargent Shriver, Director of the Office of Economic Opportunity, had announced the assignment of 239 VISTA Volunteers to projects in 20 states. Volunteers to take part in these projects began training in January and will report to their assignments after four to six weeks of intensive instruction and field experience in poverty environments. Volunteers will work on a variety of tasks in education, health, coun selling and community develop ment. At the request of local groups, they will be teacher aides, tutors, block group leaders, inter viewers for welfare and employ- xnent services; help conduct day care centers, and work 'with the elderly, young children, and non- English speaking Americans. “The basic requirement,” says Ferguson, “is that you care about poor people—enough to share their life and try to help them.” He added, “The challenge facing the VISTA Volunteer is limited only by his initiative and creativity. VISTA will provide the human commitment in fighting and the war against poverty.” Volunteers will receive a monthly living allowance including travel and medical care and, at the end of their year of service, a readjust ment allowance of $50 for each month served. Married couples may serve if both husband and wife apply together and there are no de pendents under 18. Volunteers can express a preference for area of assignment.

Tutors are urged to invite their students to points of interest in Winston-Salem such as athletic events or cultural activities. Girls at Salem have expressed their certainty that the tutoring program has been as equally bene ficial to the tutor as to the tutee. One girl states that her work with the Advancement School boys has encouraged her to widen her own horizon and to organize her thoughts and ideas in order to com municate with them. Establishing a relationship with these boys whereby they are moti vated in their academic work is not ari easy task. Salem students who feel that they have made steps to ward this goal have indeed done a great service to the boys and to themselves. NOW irS BOWLING FOR THOSE WHO THINK FUN MAJOR LEAGUE LANES 151 S.
