JOHNSON The few days of pre-spring weather started many of us thinking along lines of Spring- early bulbs pushing their tips through the fragrant soil, fields suddenly becoming green with new sprigs of grass, fields and woods which invite us for a stim ulating nature hike-getting out doors for a change. This doea remind us that Spring is not as far away as the extreme tem peratures might lead one to sus pect. , Here at the Center, we are looking forward to' the State ping pong tournament wMch will be held in April. All boys and girls, both in the junior and senior age groups {ure invited to jpractice at the Center for this event. IJach week, a tournament will be held in both divisions in preparation for a citywide contest during the last of March. The winners of the city-wide meet will be sent to the State tournament. Contact one of the ^ staff members at the Center if you are interested. Each year our Center is well represented at these competitive meets, and last year, Clyde Brown won the intermediate singles, and Irwin Holmes, Jr., and Bruce Hall won the junior doubles, while Bruce. Hall was runner-up in the junior singles. Another tournament, less strenuous, physically. Is being plann^ for an early date here at the Center. If you play whist, or pinochle, plan now to attend the card tournament to be held here. Prizes will be given to winner of both games. The Citywide Committee of Golden Age Society met last week at the home of one of its members. Miss Cox, a stafF mem ber of the Durham Health De partment. Mr. Holmes, of our Center, and Miss Jenkins, sec retary of the Negro Committee of the G(dden Age Society were among those who attended. In cluded in the meeting were plans for a trip to the Morehead Planetarium in Chapel Hill for the group.

Y. — A 3,000-year-old Chinese home remedy for malaria has given scientists at Lederle Laborator ies a clue to the production of a snythetic antimalarial agent which ia many times mora ac tive than quinine. In tests with laboratory ani mals, the new drug has shown amazing efficiency in combating the malaria paraaites, a Lederle spokesman said. The drus has now reached the clinical testing stage. The search for a new and bet ter drug for malaria started more than five years ago, during World War H, when the supply of quinine was critically short. Quinine is d^ved from the Chlnchona tree, which grows primarily in the Dutch East In dies and is difficult to obtain during war time. In addition, quinine has never been looked upon as the ideal agent for treat ing malaria. Lederle investigators began working with roO^i^of a native Chinese plant called Ch’ang Shan, which the Chinese have used for thousands of years as an antimalarial agent. Since the supply of this plant was limited, a search was started to find a plant in this country which con tained the essential alkaloid. The Lederle researchers discov ered that a common variety of the hydrangea filled the bill. Uuder the direction of Dr. J. H. Williams, Director of Re search, the chemists and bioche mist broke down the hydrangea compound and then synthesized it. By modification of the struc ture, Dr .Williams reports, a derivative of the natural com- poimd alkaloid was obtained which is less toxic than the na tural alkaloid as found in the Ch’ang Shan plant. This syn thetic antimalarial agent is be ing produced, at present, in lim ited quantites for cliiUcal study'. FinnSSANediTo^MIAYear k Ihis Fanner's Sum Slory SATDBDAT, JAN. Mth, IfSS TO! ^AlU>Lii«l PAMXiitt WASHINGTON, D. C. — A for mer sharecropper, whose annu al gross income once averaged less than five dollars a week, has converted a rundown, hilly, ero ded farm into a $6,000-a-year farming enterprise, says a re port receive} last week by the U. S. Department of Agriculture from State Leader P. H. Stone of the Georgia Extension Ser vice. liie farmer Is 61-year-old Henry Josey of Rentz, Ga., who has quadrupled the com and cot ton yields on his 184-acre farm by following practices recom mended by Soil . Conservation Service techincians assigned to the Central Georgia Soil Con servation District. "When they started showing me how to build terraces and plant cover crops and legumes,” says Mr. Josey, “I was getting only a quarter of a bale of cot ton and just about 12 bushels of com to the acre on most of my land.” Since that time, he has built 24,000 feet of terraces, planted bluelupine as a green manure crop, shifted the steep slopes from com and cotton to pastures of kudzu, Isepedeza, fescue, and dallis gras, and started raising a herd of cattle. Now he has 40 head of Herefords and 26 hogs. His corn yield has shot up to 60 bushels per acre, and where he used to get only a quarter of a bale of cotton to the acre, he now gets from one to two bales. Shenley Hiring Includes All Racial Groups PHILADELPHIA, — Wide spread employment of Negro salesmen by Schenley Distribu; tors, .)Inc. found its beginning during September, 1950. Since then it has become a regular policy in Schenley’s plan of in dustrial race relations to hire new personnel on the merits of qualification without any spe cial mention made of color or racial background. J. E. Farr, general sales man ager for Schenley Distributors, contends that the poorest im pression any company can make on its customers is to send them, a representative who knows lit tle or nothing about the firm he works for and very little about the product he is trying to sell. In accord with th^ above viewpoint, Schenley’s salesmen, are chosen for their character and ability. It is the generkl rule that they be college {graduates and have the potential of being a leader as well as having a knack for meeting the public. Training of personnel include* more than a sales routine. All applicants are sent to Schsnley’s training school at Cincinnati where they undergo an inten sive two weeks of orientation. Considerable emphasis is placed on the study of the production of alcoholic beverages, advertis ing programs, promotional ma terial and even the operation of motion picture projectors. Farr estimates that “Schenley has an annual investment of about $10, 000 in each of its salesmen, and therefore, it seems wise to have these salesmen fully informcid about the company and Schenley products as possible.” Aged Man Dies In Fire Warrenton , - John Townes, 94 year old recluse of Elbemoh, near here, 'was found burned to death last Thursday morning in the ashes of his home which was destroyed by fire more than 12 hours earlier.
