The bank is a repository for germs. Some are good, some are bad in terms of their effects on human health. But all give invaluable aid to medical researchers perfecting drugs to fight the diseases. The Upjohn which maintains the bank, keeps three major kinds of organisms on hand bactreia, fungi and viruses. Over 800 different species and strains of bacteria are under ice; about 500 identified types of fungi, and from 18 to 30 types of viruses, depending on which ones are needed for current research.

How does the bank work? Suppose a medical scientist wants to find out how effective a new antibiotic is in controlling staphlococcus bacteria, which have caused serious infections in some hospitals. He withdraws some "staph" germs from the bank, tries the antibiotic and observes the results. The bank' operates under an exchange system, swapping bacteria cultures with universities and other research agencies. Some germs come from the American Type-Culture Collection in Washington, which supplies the tiny bugs on order to qualified researchers. Great care must be taken in handling and storing the disease- causing bugs.

The "staph" grem, for instance, must be frozen and dried in. a small amount of sterile milk, using dry ice and alcohol, and then sealed in small vials until needed. Some germs can be kept for as long as 10 years under ice. Fungi are stored in sterile soil and kept under refrigeration. Viruses, the organisms which cause polio, smallpox, rabies and mumps, are the-most difficult to handle and store.

Getting Telephone Number Nightmare in Buenos Aires BUENOS AIRES "Sorry, wrong number" is a familiar refrain in Argentina. No The "current" Greater Buenos Aires telephone book, which lists half of all the telephones in the country, is three years old. Then again, for a lot of people, even a wrong number would be a luxury. They can't even get a telephone. According to the State Telecommunications Enterprise, there are 454,000 applications pending for telephones in Argentina, which is to say 454,000 people have bothered to apply for one.

Uncounted thousands more don't even bother. The telephone book situation is being remedied. The telephone people are now in the process-a painfully slow one--of getting out a new telephone directory. So far, the new books have reached the hands of some suburban subscribers, although they still are non-existent downtown. Not-that it makes a great deal of difference.

Because of the nightmare in getting a new telephone, many people keep telephones listed in their names long after they have moved out of a house or apartment and rented it to someone else. The job of filling the orders for new telephones is an infinitely one. The figure of 454,000 requests represents nearly half of all the telephones in the country. Argentina entered the telephone age relatively early when the Union Telephone company of the Rio de la Plata was formed in London in 1886, just 10 years after Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone. Though the British entrepreneurs were walking something of a tightrope (the government never got around to giving them a formal concession), the telephones business though not spectacularly.

In 1929, the British sold out to the U. International Telephone and Telegraph corporation, which ran the system until 1946, expanding the number of lines from 195,000 to 519,000. That year an Argentine Mixed Telephone Enterprise was formed, an ill- fated adventure that saw experienced hands replaced by amateurs and which was climaxed two years later by the jailing of the company president for financial irregularities. Telephones of the State was formed in 1948 in the era of ex- dictator Juan D. Peron when nationalism was in the saddle.

In the words of La Razon, the city's biggest afternoon, newspaper, "the government of the tyrant acquired in 1946 an enterprise technically and commercially well organized and equipped in large measure with a modern plant, and what is more, with plans and financial resources to satisfy future needs (but) the lack of the organizing ability of the personnel named started the undoing of the enterprise." Now the enterprise is trying to make a comeback, but plans still run well ahead of accomplishments. Waits of 10 years for a telephone are not uncommon and having a telephone in a house or apartment hikes the renting value of the property considerably. Between 1955 and 1958, the telephone administration planned to add 217,000 new lines. It actually put in 59,000. Now work is underway on 57 new telephone buildings, including a 22-story main office here.

Direct service recently was inaugurated to Commodoro Rivadavia, center of the new Patagonia oil boom, but large parts of the country still lack service. Telephones of the state says it can do the job. The half-million people already in line and the lalf million ready to join them will be watching anxiously to see how performance measures up to promises. Peter Paid to Kiss Girls, Busses Fifty Lasses a Day HONOLULU--Peter S. Fithian sometimes kisses 50 girls a day and always gets paid for it But for Fithian, a tanned, handsome bachelor, it's strictly business.

Fithian, 31, is the founder of the Greeters of Hawaii. He has turned the Hawaiian tradition of welcoming visitors with' a flower lei and a kiss into a lucrative business. He has stood in for all kinds of people and for all kinds of reasons, Fithian says. "The whole idea of our business is that the common man be met and welcomed." If the friend of a busy housewife or a prospective customer of a business executive is arriving and can't be met personally, Fithian is called. With his headquarters at the Honolulu International Airport, Fithian and his staff of Hawaiian girls will meet passengers with armloads of leis.VTbey also will claim baggage, clear customs, summon a porter or taxi and help with- hotel reservations.

And, Fithian has a price to suit everyone. His "executive price list" in eludes prices for greetings of casual friends and prospective customers. The costs range from $2 to $6. Fithian is on hand for all ship arrivals. His regular customers include all the major Waikiki hotels, air -lines, travel agencies and even the Hawaii Visitor's Bureau.

He guarantees a delay of not more than five minutes in taking an order and carrying it out. "We greet anything that moves," Fithian says. "We are iere-to give the new arrivals any iclp possible with everything." By the time the visitor has arrived, reached his hotel and the busy executive who lired Fithian can then schedule a lunch or dinner and see his client under relaxed conditions. "And he has saved half a day!" Fithian adds. Formerly the manager of a hotel on the island ol Hawaii, Fithian started his business in 1957.

He came to Hawaii in 1954 from Needham, his hometown. It was slow progress at first in the business without precedent. While the idea sounds simple, greeting service is complicated and nearly always hectic in this tourist center. Fithian constantly carries a small radio that signals him when he's wanted on the phone. "People expect to be met this way in Hawaii, and they're disappointed when it doesn't happen.

They fail to realize that someone must 'pay the for the leis they receive," Fithian says. Mexicans Like Yank Tries At Spanish MEXICO CITY More and more American tourists visiting Mexico are taking the trouble to learn a little. Spanish in advance. It's appreciated. The majority, of course, study booklets emphasizing such important words and phrases as "my mother-in-law has a green pencil." The following is for bachelors, a neglected group.

"Tres Piedras:" Literally "three rocks" and used to describe a well-proportioned female. Usually accompanied by a two-handed gesture outlining a figure eight. It makes girls blush happily. "Ole, viva, la madre que te pario:" A bit complicated, but the ultimate in flattery. It means "Long live the mother who bore you" and is a superlative compliment because it goes beyond the person involved and praises the being responsible for her creation.

Latins like it. "El cayo de mi pie:" The corn on my Means your sweetheart. Apparently for advanced stages..
