Mrs. John S. Bennett sat at her
office desk in the Central Union
Mission yesterday and worried over
distressingly large accumulation
Of family case records.
There was sufficient cause for
anxiety on this score. quite apart
from her regular duties of conduct
ing a rescue mission for homeless
men and children.
Thanksgiving is almost here and
each of the several hundred papers
that Uttered her desk contained the
name of a family in real need Of
food and a few comforts to make
Thursday a brighter feast day. And
the missions limited funds were
being stretched 10 the breaking
| point.
Extra provision must be made for
the long lines of jobless men who
will be fed Thursday and given a
place to sleep. Besides. there are
| 40 small boys and girls who are
| being given shelter in the Emer-
gency Home for Children. who nat
urally wouldn't understand if they
didn't get some extra trimmings
with their Thanksgiving dinner.
Can Provide Only 100 Baskets.
Mrs. Bennett turned to the family
records. What is troubling me
most is the ability to pick out the
100 neediest cases." she said. That
is all we can provide Thanksgiving
baskets for and there are so many
more among these people who are
especially deserving of help. We
know most of these families. but
new cases are always turning up
and We try to help them as far as
our Thanksgiving funds can stretch .
She mentioned one case that only
recently came to the attention of
the mission. The family consists
of a one-armed man and his wife
both elderly. The man was pen
stoned not long ago and receives
$50 a month. Their rent is s26 q
month, leaving 81 for fod and neces-
stiles. Cheaper quarters are hard
to find.
The 100 baskets, each containing
a substantial dinner and some extra
food staples. will be distributed to
the families at pm. Wednesday
from the mission. There will be
no turkey, but the food will be
wholesome and plentiful, depend
ing on the size of the family.

DR.. Thomas Parran, surgeon gen.

newly modified Army.
In their new book. Plain Words

r. A. Vonderlehr. assistant surgeon
general, tell the story of how be-
tween 1000, 900 and 100000 of our
young men, who were inducted-
free of venereal disease-into the
new Army are now being needlessly
exposed to time wasting gonorrhea
and life-endangering syphilis be-

nicipal authorities have seemed not
to think it important to apply the
powerful preventive measures that
Secretary of War Newton D. Baker
and Gen. John j. PerShing used
with brilliant Success-in the World
VAR "a years ago.
The present deplorable and en-
tirely preventable rise in venereal
disease in our armed forces is not
only sinister threat to their fight
ing efficiency. 1t is building up a
vast reservoir of venereal infection
which bids fair to throw into re-
verse our present brilliant progress
in the wiping out of syphilis and
gonorrhea. 1t endangers the health
and lives not only of our industrial
workers. 1t is new looming menace
to the sons and daughters of every
family in the United States.
Control Act Passed.
Four years ago. thanks to the
fearleSsnesS of our fighting surgeon
general. DR.. Parran. who single

against the very mention of these
venereal sickneSses, Congress unani-
