Coast Guard reported yesterday that
Neal Patton, 10, former University
OF Alabama football player now

sibility for the erroneous report to

two boats as he leaned out to prevent
one from striking the other.

reached.

Men who volunteer for these
services will not be called this
month. the headquarters memoran-

Volunteers for Coast Guard serv-
Ice. however. will continue to be GER

month. A new plan designed to as
sure a steady flow of Coast Guard
volunteers from local board draft
reg1strants has been worked out,
headquarters reported
Boards Are Grouped. ,
Boards have been grouped into
three units for this purpose, without
regard of areas, it was said. Eight
boards comprising the first unit will
send volunteers to Coast Guard sta
tlons on Mondays and Tuesdays. A
second unit of eight will certify men
on Tuesdays and Fridays The nine
boards of the third unit will send
men on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
AS applications are received for
duty in the Navy and Marine Corps,
they are being placed in dated
folders. Headquarters explained
that should the two services limit
the number of men in January, then
boards can certify men in the order

The Only exception to the Navy

Army and Coast Guard Open.
Although the men can file their
applications, it was made clear that
this would not stop their indie
ton into the Army if their order
number was reached before the
Navy and Marine Corps opened up
again for volunteers through the
draft boards.
The temporary plan, however,
does cover the Army and the Coast
Guard, for which men can volun-

DIR. Craig Morris, acting as chair

venereal disease as our number one
health problem.
DIR. S. L. Pearlman pointed out
that the picture was not without
hope, since the medical and clinic
facilities are ready to care for The
problem, and the records show on
increasing demand from the public
for treatment with these facilities.
| There were 1919 visits to the clinics
in June 1941, and 2,433 visits in June
1912.
Many people are now having
blood tests at these clinics, so that
they may be sure that they can do
their part in this war effort.

ector Of the Department Of Comm
unicable Diseases, of Omaha, ard
Don Warner. Director of Venereal
Disease Education, the Coordinating
Committee discussed plans for an
active campaign to help stamp out
venereal disease with educational
measures.
From a medical viewpoint, DR..
Frary pointed out that syphilis and
gonorrhea still remain our greatest
communicable disease problems. in
spite of the fact that medical science
now has the means to discover and
cure them. The medical examin-
ations 70 rthe draft show that two
out o fevery ten Of the draftees from
this area could not serve their coun-
try because they had contracted
syphilis. This constituted the great
est handicap to victory and to free
dom of any of the communicable
diseases.
Mr.. Warner Informed the Comm
ittee that in January and February
Of this year, there were four times
as many cases Of syphilis reported
in Nebraska as all the cases report
ed of smallpox, typhoid fever, tub
erculosis, diptheria and pneumonia
added together.
A plan was presented which would
place all the facts of the cause, the
cure, and how to find these diseases
before the public. The plan outlin-
ed the facilities available to carry
on the fight against these destroy
ers of our potential soldiers and
workers.
Rev. F. c. Williams, of the Zion
Baptist Church. was appointed

HOW MANY PEOPLE
HAVE SYPHILIS?
CBY DIR. WESLEY JONES)

BY DIR. WESLEY JONES'
You may wonder why this series
of articles on venereal disease is
being published. You have that
right. So little has been said about
syphilis and gonorrhea that many
people assume that they are rare
diseases.
On the contrary. they are too
common. For every person who is
killed in an auto accident, three die
of syphilis. If our front page ar
ried the news about these deaths as
it does about auto fatalities, the
public would be aroused.
Since we know that all of the
deaths are not reported, and all
cases are not on record, the known
results of the ravages of this dis
ease would be much greater if the
truth were told.
In Nebraska, there is four times
as much syphilis reported as there
is smallpox, typhoid fever, pneumon-
ia tuberculosis, and diptheria COM
bined.
You car understand, then, why
this series of articles is being writ
ten. If you realize that there is
one hundred times as much syphilis
as polio, and the results in each
case are as likely to be as terrible,
then you will want to do something
about the control of syphilis.
The best authorities estimate that
there are a half a million new cases
of syphilis each veal The conser-
vative estimates indicate that there
are at least $500, 900 cases of syph-
ills in the United States. This is an
army almost as large as our present
armed force. Many of these $780,
900 are unable to work, fight, Or
earn for our war effort. This is
the result of a program which has
not made adequate provision for
their care and cure. We cannot af-
ford this type OF program.
We here in Omaha must be care
full not to think that we are differ
ent. All these figures may be true
