Dear Sir: For a period OF six

mittee OF the city council Since
that time ! have been very much
interested in the hospital and its
welfare. In my opinion Miss Smith
and her staff have been doing 4
swell job under many adverse cou.
ditions.
We are being asked TO vote on a
new hospital, and can think of no
better place TO spend money THAI
for such project. The year by
year reports OF the hospital &C
count show that it has been no
serious drain on the city finances
in fact this last year the fund show
ed a credit balance.
The actual need OF 4 new hos
pital is not questioned by anyone
familiar with present conditions.
The rapid growth OF the city and
of the area nearby makes it almost
imperative that we have better
hospital facilities. and that at once.
The importance of planes and
tanks. munitions and ships, steel
and rubber, are being constantly
emphasized but feel that more
important than all is the preserva-

gia bark as a substitute Tor quinine
in the treatment OF malaria.
Not since the war between the
states has much attention been paid
TO the bark, but medical report
published in 1858, when the Union
blockade had all but ihl ottled thu
import of medicines into the South.
tells OF a DR.. Law who used the
bark to cure six or eight cases Of
intermittent fever.
There are other medical reports
telling OF the widespread use of
the bark by Confederate physicians
TO treat the chills and feyers OF
malaria after quinine became I'M
obtainable.
The report telling OF DR.. Law
goes on 10 say that a handful Of
the bark should be placed in a
quart OF water and boiled until only
a pint remains this liquid should
then be administers to the patient
in doses OF an ounce or less.

Among the folk in the back coun-
try. the bark is called the bitter
bark" and while its use apparently
is not widespread, some still use i
as tonic.
Botanically, Georgia bark Is
known as the pinckneya pubens
and was named Tor Gen. Charles
Cotesworth Pinckney, South Caro-
lima soldier and statesman during
the American Revolution. The
small tree, or shrub, is found in
abundance along coastal streams
and pine barrens from South Caro-
lima to Florida and is a member
OF the madden family.
When Java fell to Japan, the
United States and the world lost
its source of quinine. Like rubber,
the cinchona tree from which quin-
Inc is made'was transplanted from
South America.

grave importance TO the United

years TO cultivate the cinchona

supply. however. will be needed for
American troops stationed in trop-

WINGED Allied diplomats tonight
that serious shortage OF Axis
man power was one of the CHIEF
topics Of the Salzbure conference
OF Adolf Hitler anti Benito Musso-

not only that more Italian troops
would be dispatched 10 the eastern
front. but that "the Germans will
be present in increasing strength
in the Mediterranean, which will
play a prominent part in the COM
ing Axis operations.
II was suggested that one reason
why Lieut.. Gen. Hiroshi Oshima,

was not called into the conference
from Munich. 20 miles away, was
that the two dlctators were con-
centrating on internal problems.
