one of the most important assets
for fighting the war and any meas

power is a war measure" says DR..
Edwin Cameron, executive secre-
tary of the State Board of Health,
in speaking of his organizations
venereal disease control work.
New "V. d. Officer
DIR. Cameron has announced the
appointment by the U. S. Public
Health Service of DR.. A. r. Came
ron, a passed assistant surgeon
with the service as venereal dis
ease control officer for Delaware.
He is giving his whole time to
working for the eradication of
syphilis and gonorrhea in the
state.
The new control officer has had
training in public health and ven
ereal disease control at the Nation
al Institute of Health, Bethesda.
Md. Since then he has been sta
toned in the south where he work
ed for the curbing of prostitution
in the cantonment area of Fort
Bragg, and supervised large ven
ereal disease clinics in Durham
and Wilmington, N. C. The latter
clinic treated about 5000 patients
a month.
In Milford there are an average
of SO persons per month who take
treatments at the State Board of
Health clinic and the total number
of treatments given during the
January through June period was
1,142, while in Kent county 22S
persons were treated per month
and 1884 treatments given in the
six-month period.
with the mass movement of
men into army camps, with indus
try claiming more and more of
both men and women workers,
there are many factors which help
to spread venereal disease, such as
broken home ties, crowded hous-
ing. lack of knowledge. prostitution
and promiscuity. says the executive
secretary.
Of special importance now, is
the curbing of venereal disease in
order to prevent lost time, ineffi-
cheney, labor replacement of work
ers in our war industries and else
where. Syphilis does not spare any I
one coming in contact with it,
affecting women and their children,

TO CALL FATHERS FIRST
WHO ARE WORKING ON
NON.WAR JOBS

Study Labor Turnover
Appley said deslpite a request by
Solid Fuels Administrators Ickes
that the VINO take steps to cut
down labor turnover in coal min
| ing, the commission is not work
ing on the coal problem separate
ly. 1t is tackling turnover on a
COMMUNICATIVE basis, he added,
working on all industries in a Civ
en- area, where the problem has
arisen.
Appley revealed for the past two
weeks VINO and War Department
officials had been attempting to
work out a procedure to aid the
war effort by making greater use
of prisoners of war now in this
country.
WMC-Selectice Service officials
said they did not have figures on
how many fathers were engaged
in the jobs newly-made non-defer-
rable, nor how many of them would
be available for induction. These
men may avoid swift induction by
transferring to "war-useful" jobs.
They get automatically a 3O-day
immunity from reclassification to
la if they show their local draft
boards they have gotten war-use-
full jobs or have registered with the
U. S. Employment Service for such
work.
Some Certain To Go
Even the non-deferrable fathers
are to be inducted in each local
board only after supplies of non
fathers have been exhausted, but
Appley and Haber said it was vir-
tually certain at least some of the
$500 local boards will have ex-
hausted supplies of able bodied
non-fathers without Occupational
deferment by or before October l.
This will be so. they said, even
though some 10000 youths will be-
come is both in September and Oc-
tober and eligible for induction
ahead of fathers unless they have
occupational deferment. Quotas
among the states and among boards
within states are being adjusted in
an effort to insure that no COM
munity will have to call fathers
far in advance of other commune
ties.

HATCHERIES CUT PRICE OF
MATCHING EGGS, CHICKS
Ccontinueo from r1rst Pager

chicks be reduced The Neppco
Hatchery Division is anxious to CO.
operate with the Administration S
anti-infation policy and to assist
the Office of Price Administration
in this objective. Strenuous efforts
have been made by the members of
our organization to effect such re-
ductions voluntarily. This would
avoid the necessity of imposing
price ceilings which our members
believe would not only Great hard
ships and inequities on the egg pro-
ducers. but would also present an
insurmountable problem of en-
forcement for your office.
"In order to cooperate with you
in this voluntary roll back policy
the majority of the members of our
organization. which represents so
per cent of the hatcheries on the
Delmarva Peninsula and most of
the hatcheries shipping broiler
chicks from New England and the
intervening states. have reduced
the price they pay for Matching
eggs ten to fifteen cents per dozen.
The price of broiIer chicks has been
reduced accordingly.
This means that most of the
broiler chicks are now selling on
the Delmarva Peninsula at $14 to
SIG per hundred. In keeping with
the usual practice of independent
thought and action. there will be
a few hatcheries selling at a slight
ly higher figure. 1t is confidently
expected, however. by September
most of the chicks being sold in
the Delmarva area will be moving
at S14 to SIS per hundred.
I'VE realize that the hatchery is
a central cog in the poultry indus
try mechanism bridging the gap
between the breeder and the poul-
try raiser. We are glad to make it
easier for the broiler grower to
accept the ceiling price for his
product. In return we think that
Mr.. Average Citizen should be able
to buy poultry at the consumer
ceiling price. Mr.. Prentiss Brown.
will you please attend to that?"
