Plans For Church
Meeting Outlined

Asheville, N. c., July 16-Rev.
G. L. Smith, pastor Hopkins Chapel
A. M. E. Zion Church, says that
plans for the 1856 session of the
Correctional Council" which will
convene here August 1926, are
now being made and from all indi-
cations bid fair to one of the best
ever held.
The pastor and his congregation
will serve as host to the meet. 1t
will have in attendance all of the
bishops of the church, general Of
ficers, members of all the boards
and many other interested persons.
Bishop w. C. Brown, who presides
over the Blue Ridge Conference,
will be the host prelate. Bishop w.
w. Slate, chairman of the Board
of Bishops, will preside, but will
relinquish the chair to Bishop Ray
mond L. Jones who will serve for
the next six months. Bishop w. J.
Walls, secretary, will have charge
of the arrangements for the
agenda.
Much of the business that was
not completed at the general con-
ference will be completed. The most
important is said to be the appoint
ing of a Judicial Council which was
made law at the recent general
meet. Much interest will be attach
ed to this, due to the fact that it
is the first such body that the
A. M. E. Zion Church has ever
had. The appointments will be
made by the bishops for the next
four years, afterwhich the Council
will be elected by the general con-
ference. The Council will be COM
posed of five ministers and four
laymen. 1t will serve as the Su-
preme Court of the denomination.

VETERANS Administration
PLANS RESEARCH PROGRAM

Washington, d. c., July ia
broad attack upon the unknown"
in mans major diseases will be
started Immediately by Veterans
Administration.
VA said an enlarged medical
research program will be conduct
ed with the $10,000,0 900 that Con-
gress appropriated for fiscal year
1857, beginning July l, 1864
100000 more than was appropriat-
ed last year.
Most of the increased medical
research will be concentrated in
four areas of major diseases: J..
mental, nervous and brain Diseases
(neuropschiatric); 2. heart and ar
terry diseases (cardio-vascular; 3.
cancer and leukemia, and 4. prob
lens of aging (geriatrics).
VA also will expand its research
program in tuberculosis, in the
fungus diseases which resemble
tuberculosis, and in the infectious
diseases.
In addition, VA said, renewed
emphasis will be placed on indi-
vidual research projects, such as
the isolation and Identification of
the factors which produce mans
greatest killer, apprehension or
high blood pressure; the cause and
nature Of hardening arteries Jar
teriosclerosis); the cause and ma
ture of tissue changes (metabolic
diseases), and the brain areas
where epilepsy and related nervous
disorders originate.
VA said it further plans to en-
large its cooperative study of
drugs, old and new, for the treat
ment of specific Diseases field
in which the agency has pioneered
without standing success because
of its many hospitals, its large pa
tient load, and its uniformity of
approach.
VA and the armed forces have
achieved international recognition
for their cooperative study of the
so-called wonder drugs" for tu-
berculosis. The findings Of this
study have been adopted by medi-
cine throughout the world for the
more successful treatment of one
of mans oldest diseases. This
study will be extended and
strengthened, VA said.
Other cooperative drug (chemo-
theraphy) will be continued or in
stituted with the new available
funds, VA said:
l. The chemotheraphy of null
tiple sclerosis for which no known
cure is available.
2. The chemotherapy of psychia-
trio disorders, with special empha-
sis on the new tranquilizer drugs.
~ 8. A cooperative study of the
treatment of apprehension, or high
blood pressure, with special ref
erence to the use of newer drugs.
A. The chemotherapy of cancer,
co-sponsored by the u. S. Public
Health Service, the American Can
Ger Society and the U. S. Atomic
Jackson advocate. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1939-current, 1956-07-21

Energy Commission.
In addition to these cooperative
drug studies, VA said it will con-
tinue other types Of cooperative
studies such as those on the ef-
fects of brain surgery in the treat
ment Of schizopherenis, one Of the
more serious mental diseases.
VA, with the help of the Ma
tional Research Council and the
Armed Forces Institute of Path
ology, has accumulated extensive
experience in the analysis of past
clinical records, especially of
World War II veterans, for the pur-
pose Of studying the life history
of diseases from military Undue
ton onward.
Based on this experience, VA
will conduct two important follow
up studies to make an emulation
of the natural course of cOronary
artery disease and coronary throm-
bosis (clotting in a blood vessel
of the heart), and an evaluation
of the long-term results of chem
otheraphy of tuberculosis in which
VA will study the fate of TB vet
Grams treated with the new durg
treatments.
In all of these studies, VA will
be advised by the National Re-
search Committee on Veterans
Problems, in preventive measures
concerned the Statistical Agency
of the National Research Council,
and the Advisory Committee in
Research of VA composed of out
standing leaders in America med
icine who review the medical pro-
grams in their own fields Of spe-
cialization.
VA said its kaleidoscope (atomic
medicine laboratories) will continue
to be used in the expanded re-
search program to develop new and
precise techniques for laboratory
and clinical Investigations. These
laboratories already have made
possible fundamental research OBJ
servations which have contributed
to diagnostic and therapeutic
methods, VA said.
VA added that because the radio
isotope laboratories are widely
spread throughout the country,
they will increasingly contribute
to research in preventive measures
concerned with atomic hazards.
VA said its close affiliation with
"a medical schools permits it to
profit by the experience and re-
sources of the outstanding scien-
fists in those institutions who work
with, and lend support to, the VA
medical care program.
The medical schools through
their Deans Committee, supervise
VA research programs and &C
lively participate in the training
of VA researchers.
This program Of cooperation
and collaboration, VA said, will be
continued in the enlarged medical
activities to provide better care
for veterans and indirectly, for
people throughout the world.

and the happy farmer who invested
inU. S. Savings Bonds

You may not be a farmer or o1On co10, but
there are lots of other ways you can lose your
Savings Bonds or have them mutilated.
Every major flood tornado, explosion or tire
brings a wave of Bond requirements.
So Just remember this. No matter What
happens to your Savings Bonds, the Treasury
Department will replace them free of charge
and date them to coincide with the original
Bonds.
Savings Bonds are not only safer than
cash, but one of the best investments you can
make. You can be sure of the principal, sure
of the returns Gan average $50 interest when
held to maturity sure of the future
when you invest regularly in Savings Bonds.
So start investing in Savings Bonds to-
day. That's the safe and sure way to save.
If you want your interest as current income,
ask your banker about 80 Series H Bonds
that pay interest semianrually by United
States Treasury check.
