|SYMPOSIUMS HELD
 BY MEDICAL UNIT
Means of Stamping Out Communicable Diseases
 Explained By Speakers

Four doctors, specialists in their own fields, said at the closing sym posium of the Connecticut Public Health Association meeting yester- day afternoon at the Waterbury Medical building, that if syphilis were brought out into the open and combatted as are other commtin- icable diseases it could be stamped out more easily.
 Both the morning and afternoon sessions were attended by persons interested in public health from all parts of the state. Dr. Edward J. Godfrey, local public health ohcer. opened the meeting and the out of town visitors were welcomed by Thomas Kelley, secretary to the mayor. The morning session was de- voted to 8 symposium on the pre- vention of pneumonia.
 In the afternoon the following men addressed the group on syphi. lis: pr. R. A. vonderlehr, assistant surgeon general of the United States Public Health Service; pr. John L. Rice, former public health officer of New Haven and now health commissioner of New York City; Dr. Henry F. Talbot, director of the bureau of venereal diseases of the state health department; and pr. M. J. Straus of the New Haven department of hcalth.s
 It was pointed out by Dr. Rice the public has not been subject to edu- cation in connection with the dis ease and not until recently was there any mention of 1t in news papers and magazines or over the radio because of the nature of the disease. Dr. Vonderlehr also stressed the need of publicly fighting the disease.
 l The reports of Dr. straus and Dr. Talbot were more on the technical side of, the subject, treating of the difaculty which has arisen from ia- adequate reporting of the disease and the lack of thorough checks on contacts of persons who contract 1t. They stated if such matters were brought out into the open they would be easier to check.
 The afternoon session closed with a film which covered the same ground in connection with stress ing the necessity of public educa- ton and a more complete report of cases. -@f tst
 The morning session, devoted to a discussion on pneumonia, was also developed along the same lines. The speakers urged a more complete and immediate report of cases in order to check thet spread and increase the chances of complete recovery.
