additional revenue from new levies on such items
as soft drink and securities+and increased levies
on personal income and corporate excess profits. Re-
garding No. 2, manufacturers are stocking up on
materials farther ahead than usual, for self-protec-
ton against possible shortages due to government
rationing. and also against higher prices; but econ
omists are warning against the 'buy now and buy
more" urge. Return to six day week-after the slack
of unemployment has been taken UPS suggested

Health Progress Marked

For the first time in the history of the u.
S. Army physical examinations for army re-
cruits, whether volunteers or from the selec-
tive service, will be given tests for syphilis,
according to medical authorities.
An increase in the number of men ply
sically fit for military services is a result OF
the three-year-old v~enereal disease program
of the Mississippi State Board of Health, DR..
Guy r. Post, Director of the Coahoma County
Health Department, Clarksdale, declared last
week.
Syphilis doubtless heads the list of all
disqualifying diseases for military service"
Doctor Post stated. "The intensive work done
by the Board of Health during the past few
years has decidedly reduced the number of
individuals ineligible because of this dis
ease"
Pointing out that Mississippi will be
found "among the leading states of the
nation" in its venereal disease control pro-
gram, Doctor Post told of favorable results
a~ccruing from day and night clinics held
eevry week over the state.
When one considers the fact that some
rs per cent of the cases of insanity and a
still larger percentage of the diseases of
the heart and circulatory system are due
to syphilis, it is evident that our present
crusade against syphilis is justified.
1t is to be earnestly hoped that a clinic
can be obtained for Durant very shortly.
Every community in Holmes county should
have clinic facilities available.
