National Organization Allots 5000 for Nome USO

The interest of the national USO in the organizing of USO center for servicemen in Nome was definitely established with the announcement by Major K. D. SWisher, commanding officer of Nome Field, that he had received word that S2,OOO had been alloc- ated for the Nome area.
 No announcement was made, however, as to how this money was to be applied in relation to maintenance, building, etc. How ever, it is a definite step toward a goal being worked on by several civic groups. Several sites for the building are now in the hands of the committee and one is to be chosen soon, it has been reported.

trict which does not provide sep
arate schools for white and Me-
gro children.
The other two provide for pu-
pill assignment.
The proposed measure apply
ing to State or local funds would

trary to the provisions Of this
law shall be liable for the amount

posal would allow the local super
intendent to assign pupils within
the system "in such manner as
! nhis judgment will best

ton within the district and the

cedure herein provided shall
constitute the exclusive method
Of appeal in respect of all as

thority to lay out and create at

Fleming Resumes
Work Interrupted
By PeniciI|in Find
By the Asseeiated Pres,

LONDON, Dec. 8.-The silver
haired Scot who discovered peni-
cillin has decided to pick up
working threads he dropped q
quarter Of a century ago.
"I want to resume my research
on immunity" Sir Alexander
Fleming explains. After peni-
cillin we got sldetracked."
That was in 1929. soon after
he became professor of st.
Mary's Hospital Medical School
in London. Now the 74-year-
old scientist has quit his post
as head of the Wright Fleming
Institute of Microbiology at st.
Mary's.
This will free him of admin
istrative duties and the count
less Interruptions" they cause.
There's so much to do-so
many problems left. I just want
to sit here and work." he said.
waving toward his ofice-labora-
tory. desk.
"Take viruses. for instance.
We know very little about them.
But I'd rather work with bac-
teria-something can see.
There's the problems Of boils.
Everyone carries the microbe
that produces boils, but why do
only some persons get therp?
It's a simple thing but a prob
lem never solved"
No End to Microbes.
Sir Alexander thinks most Of
the known microbes will be
licked with vaccines before 1000
AID. Does that mean the world
can look forward to immunity
from disease?
"No." he replied thoughtfully.
II think we'll probably find new
microbes and the old ones will
find some way to dodge the vac
cines. They're pretty good at
that"
But he doesn't think penicil-
lin will lose its effectiveness -
..it's been in active use for more
than 10 years now and hasn't
lost any,"
Penicillin was discovered by
accident. in a small, gxeen-tiled
lab at st. Mary's. A stray mould
spore blew on q plate where
a bacterial culture was growing
Sir Alexander found that the
new substance was dissolving the
bacteria and recognized the pos
sibilities of the strange mould,
Later other scientists developed
and perfected the drug.
Once Shipping Clerk.
In 1914 Sir Alexander, who
came to London as a shipping
clerk, was knighted. Honor upon
honor followed, including the
Nobel Prize and the American
Medal Of Merit.
These lofty tributes have left
Sir Alexander virtually un-
changed. A lover of bright bow
ties. he lives with his second
wife, a 41-year-old bacteriolo-
gist, in a small country house at
Mildenhall, Suffolk. Up every
morning at 8, he drives his own
car to work by 10.
The discoverer of penicillin
has taken the drug himself only
once. when he was suffering
acute pneumonia last December
,'I took a lot," he recalls. u
don't doubt that about one-tenth
of what I took would have been
sufficient but I was taking nc
chances"
