It means that tocay aa@ded millions of people will by various media of publicity be made aware | of the perils of syphilis and gonorrhea, the most | prevalent of serious infectious diseases; that some | nf these people will take warning and some others | action; and that more progress in the reduction oii these misery-making maladies, costly -to both public! and private purse, will be recorded The American Social Hygiene Association and its National Anti-Syphilis Committee tell us that one in 20 adults has syphilis. This figure was ob- upon 4,- ence was 200 different ts In some grouj te: the inc tained through 000,000 persons. group quite low, in others alarmingly high. But the hap- pier note is that syphilis in a large percentage of | cases yields to medical science and that it can be rendered non-infectious to others. Soundly, the American Social Hygiene ocla- tion and its sponsors are primarily interested in! prevention of venereal disease. This is accom- plished through education of young people, parents, and expectant parents, with the work paid for by private ‘¢éontribtitions’ of ‘a voluntary nature. The Association wants children to be born free of syphilis, and many States now have made that easier through legislation. It wants youngsters taught that sex is a normal thing—a part of life, the abuse of which too frequently brings sad physical, mental, and eco- nomic consequences, It wants law enforcement and adequate recreation to lessen certain temptations which are known to breed disease. But the Assoclatlon knows that with all the preventive measures, too many \miorlunntr%mosl,lv‘ youths—contract syphilis nevertheless and that un:, disease and gonorrhea spread like wildfire. For this! situation the procedure is straight-line: discover, treat regularly, and find the source of the infection to prevent further infection There is a fine working alliance between Fed-| eral, Territorlal and local health officials and Lhe| American Social Hygiene Association, \A'hlt'hl)l’L’.'{llllZfl-i tion - inaugurated National Social Hygiene Day in 1937. Surgeon General Parran says: “Action by governments is not sufficient to deal| with problems such as this which affect the whole people. Increasingly there is needed a strong na- tional voluntary agency through which citizen inter- est can make itself felt. We are fortunate in having such an agency in the American Social Hygiene As- sociation and its National Anti-Syphilis Committee.” Every citizen who can read can learn more about the prevention of syphilis. The Territorial Department of Health has information and advisory service for young people, for expectant mothers and for parents. Tt will guide inerested clubs and groups of all kinds, providing literature and educational |its ! mists of the North Sea; | an inch. | used motion pictures. The Department deces not treat infected persons. That is for the medical profes- sion and hospitals—but not for quacks, charlatans and unethical counter-prescribers. Learn more about syphilis and you surely will | guard against syphilis.

These restrictions are the latest sadistic efforts of the Nazis to crush a people who have gone through seven years of horror and who have been reduced to a state of misery seldom if ever seen before in a country making any pre- tense to the adjective, civilized.

The re- gime that cries for living room will not let others live, either a defenseless minority at home or small neighbors abroad in Austria, Czechoslovakia and Poland. This is the regime that hopes to regenerate the world, that holds itself superior to all others and which prates about peace and civilization. In blind and senseless cruelty it forgets an old admonition that mankind learns but slowly. “Do unto others as ye would have others do unto you.” War’s Kaleidoscope (New York Times) A small item in the recent news tells us that { the City of Flint fur the United States.

But how much history, how many births and deaths of nations, how many days of anguish will be condensed into the interlude of war?
