Medical research at the University of Miami School of Medicine has been cited by the Southern Regional Education Board in a new publication, "University Research — Medical Milestones." The University of Miami, which holds almost $4 million a year in research grants, is one of the leading organizations in the South, particularly in the field of cancer study. Thousands of medications designed to treat cancer are tested on animals in the University laboratories. The teaching hospital of the University of Miami is one of the few places in the country where new drugs are also tried out in human cancers when they have fully passed animal tests. ANIMAL EXPERIMENTS The Southern Regional Education Board mentions specifically the pygmy marmosets from South America — small primates about the size of a laboratory rat — which are now being used in cancer and other research at UM. All over its 16-state region the Board reports scientists in university laboratories are studying man and his ills to determine which direction progress will take in the future. The SREB publication is one of a series of inoformation-al brochures on university research in the South produced under a $5,000 grant from the Sperry and Hutchinson Company. MAJOR ITEM Medical research has become a major financial item in the budgets of Southern universities and medical schools, the Board reports. In 1958, for example, medical schools of the South were devoting an average of more than $750,000 to separately budgeted medical research. This was one-fourth of their total expenditures. For the 24 medical schools in the SREB states, this amounted to a total of more than $18 million in 1958 alone, the last year for which complete figures are available. The bulk of these research funds, about two-thirds of the total, comes from federal grants, the SREB points out. The other funds come from private foundations and general funds. Federal expenditures for research are continuing to increase — some $200 million was spent by the government in 1958 and pending legislation before Congress seeks $664 million for the 1961 budget of the National Institutes of Health. FACILITIES INCREASE SREB notes that Southern universities and medical schools are steadily building up research facilities "to handle the future growth of current research projects and the onslaught of new demands in medical research." Since World War II new or expanded medical schools have been built in Florida, Kentucky, North Carolina, Mississippi and West Virginia. Other universities have added or expanded their research facilities. "The universities and medical schools of the region must produce the doctors to care for a growing, health-conscious population," the Board report points out. "They must also produce the knowledge which will wipe out still existing killers of mankind. It is a vast and costly job," the report continues. "Its financing and encouragement are the responsibility of the people of the South."

South Miami-Kendall Site Of New Lutheran Mission

First Service for Christ the King Lutheran Church will be held Sunday in the Howard Drive Elementary School, SW 136th Street at 77th Avenue. The Rev. Carsten H. Ludder has been working in the new mission field for one month and says he feels that the interest and enthusiasm will enable this new mission to build an air-conditioned chapel in the South Miami-Kendall area within a year. The Rev. Mr. Ludder's first sermon will deal with the subject, "Enthusiasm Without Fanaticism" at 11 a.m. Sunday. Mrs. Ludder will be choir director and Miss Meri Lee Bitz will sing. Mr. Ludder first came to Miami in 1948 to start a mission on Flagler Street. That congregation has become the largest Lutheran church in Florida, and Mr. Ludder felt the call to start again in the rapidly-growing Kendall area. He is a graduate of Muhlenberg College and Mt. Airy Seminary in Philadelphia. A native of Long Island, he is married and has three children. The United Lutheran Church, which starts a new mission somewhere in the country every six days, has been assigned the area from 104th Street to Eureka Drive, East of U.S. 1 to the bay. Property will soon be bought within those boundaries. Sunday school will be started the following Sunday, Oct. 8, at 9:30.

Guitarist To Open Recitals

The University of Miami School of Music will begin its season of recitals Monday, Oct. 9, with a program featuring the distinguished Cuban guitarist, Juan Mercadal, as a guest artist. Directed by Dean John Bitter, the recitals are performed at 8:30 p.m. in Beaumont Lecture Hall, main campus, at frequent intervals during the school year. Performers are faculty and students with guest artists. Admission is free. Two other guest artists, Sonja Balogh and Arthur Bodger, will join Mercadal for the opening program with faculty performers Eugene Johnson, Victor Stern and Herman Busch, in performance of two rarely heard works—the Schubert quartet for guitar, flute, viola and violincello, and the Boccherini Quintet, Number One in D Major for guitar and string quartet. The program will conclude with the Brahms Trio in E flat Major (opus 40)
