The Sam Qualls Golf Club is one of the oldest golfing clubs in the city and has in its membership many of the top golfers in and surrounding Memphis. The annual tournament is rapidly becoming one of the top golfing attractions in the mid-South. Johnson Saulsberry, popular amateur golfer of the city is rapidly developing into one of the top golfers in the amateur ranks. Saulsberry won the Defense Depot tournament recently and will represent the Defense Depot in the Pro-Am Open Tournament at the Colonial Country Club course on the 26th thru 28th. Golf is becoming one of the biggest attractions in sports hereabouts as more and more people are taking up the sport. At one time, golf was thought of as a sport of the rich and the older persons, but now many youngsters are playing the game, along with many retired persons, and they still seemingly are eager devotees of the game. It is greyhound racing again at Southland Greyhound Park just across the river from Memphis at West Memphis, Ark. Opening night was a gala occasion, as seemingly everyone was in a holiday spirit, having waited some seven months for the return of Rusty and the Greyhounds. The place is beautifully decorated and numerous additions for the comfort and convenience of the patrons have made it more inviting. The two fountains in the space across from the grandstand add to the beauty with their varied colored lights reflecting through the water. Horse racing is said to be the sport of kings, and Greyhound racing is known as the sport of queens, and the Queens are there in large numbers as they take to the sport as a duck takes to water. Many of them are in regular attendance and follow, the dogs records as the men, however, there are many, who just play the grey hound by numbers. A few notably changes from previous years include an increase in admission from 25 cents to 50 cents the price of a program from a quarter to 35 cents and beer priced at 50 cents. The action hungry patrons paid little if any attention to the small increases and kept the lines to the sellers windows and crowded. The wagering remains the same with quinellas on all races, the perfecta on races from the second through the ninth, then the twelfth, with, the Big Q taking up the tenth and eleventh races. The Big Q is quite popular with fans because of the payoffs. Still there are the usual crowds a the individual windows, playing win, place and show. With only a 15 or 20 minute casual ride from Memphis hundreds of Memphis fans cross the bridge each night to place a wager, enjoy the races or just to see them run and hear the announcer's thrilling voice stating "Here comes Rusty." So as the catchy little tune goes. "It's fabulous fun, watching them run; at the beautiful Greyhound Park." LONGER...

They will attempt a Soft landing and send back data about the planet's surface. The two unmanned probes, launehed six days apart in January, are expected to reach the planet, earth's closest neighborhood, Friday and Saturday. They are to land in different areas and relay back information about the surface and atmosphere. The spacecraft, called Venus 5 and 6, each weighs 2,494 pounds. Writing Thursday in the government newspaper Izvestia, Dr., M. Arov said the probes "will transmit information which would have great significance not only for future studies of Venus but also for great understanding of general laws of the origin and evolution of the solar system." Venus 4 touched down on the clouded planet Oct. 18, 1967. That project found that man would burn up if he tried to visit the planet without heavy protection. Temperature on Venus's surface measured 536 degrees fahrenheithotter than a home oven broiler. If the two craft accomplish their soft landings, they would widen the Soviet Union over the United States in exploration of the planent but never landed on it. The U. S. Mariner 2 swept 21,000 miles by Venus in 1962, and Mariner 5 flew within 2,400 miles of it within a day after Venus 4's encounter. Data received by Venus 4 indicated that the planent has an atmospheric pressure 22 times that of the earth and that the atmosphere is made up of a dense hot layer of gases, mostly carbon dioxide.

Private Colleges To Use Faculty Recruitment File The United Board for College Development has on file the names of nearly 10,000 persons who are available next year for employment in teaching and administrative posts on college campuses. This file has been drawn together by the Cooperative College Registry in Philadelphia. Tile duplicate listings in Atlanta are primarily for the benefit of the 65 private Negro colleges associated with the United Board for college Development and is the only one outside the Philadelphia office. The registry is a means of introducing teachers, prospective teachers and administrative personnel to more than 250 private colleges and universities, and includes many positions in every field of study and at every rank. College presidents, academic deans and department chairmen of private colleges use the registry to complete their faculties for the coming year. It is a compilation of fresh names and does not carry registrants from one year to the next. This service is free to the registrants and to the institutions. The Cooperative College Registry, located at 600 Land Title Building in Philadelphia, is sponsored by 15 Protestant denominations: American Baptist Convention, American Lutheran church, African Methodist Episcopal Zion, Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church, Church of the Brethren, Church of God in North America, Cumberland Presbyterian Church, Disciples of Christ United Methodist Church (merger of The Methodist Church and Evangelical United Brethren), Lutheran Church in America. Presbyterian Church of the U.S. Reformed Church in America. Southern Baptist Convention, United Church of Christ, United Presbyterian Church. USA. The united Board for college Development received a grant from The Christian A. Johnson Endeavor Foundation to provide special services in Philadelphia with additional personnel to handle requests by mail and by telephone from the 65 Negro colleges associated with the United Board. Out of this grant also came funds to establish the duplicate file in Atlanta for personnel review by college representatives seeking teachers. The office of the United Board for College Development is at 159 Forrest Avenue, N.E., Suite 514, Atlanta, Georgia 30303.
