CERTIFICATE FOR
WHITE CROSS UNIT
American Hospital Assn.
Gives Stamp OF Approval
for Efforts

The non profit White Cross, the
Connecticut Plan for Hospital Care,
has been granted a certificate OF
approval for 1943 by the American
Hospital Association, it was an
nounced today by Harry B. KEN
nedy, president of the Plan. This
is the seventh year that the AHA
has approved the operation Of the
White Cross as a n-profit organ
ization.
Approval is granted annually on
the basis of maintenance of stand
ards on IA points, including sound
financial condition, non profit or
garization, service guaranteed
through cooperating member hos
pitfalls rather than cash indemnity
and operation as public service
program in the area covered by
each plan in the United States.
There are now 10 approved plans
an increase of 10 over January. 1912
Mr.. Kennedy said.
Statistics released by the Com
mission ON Hospital Service of the
AHA show that White Cross stands
tenth among all plans in the num-
Der OF persons enrolled for non-
profit hospital service. As to per-
centage OF population enrolled the
White Cross Is first among all plans
operating on q State wide basis.
"As this state Is only thlrtieth IN
population. II Is obvious that Con
necticut people have been more en-
thusiastic about the White Gross
Than the inhabitants Of many states
which 0utrank Us IN population
have been about their own non
profit service plan", Kennedy con
mented. THAT this program hal
been 80 universally accepted II
Connecticut Is due 10 the whole
hearted cooperation Of all the eie
ments Of our population - WORKING
men ard women, business, public
spirited citizens, doctors, hosplialt
the press. We take this opportun
liy 10 thank them al for thoi

by the American Social Hygiene As
ISOLATION, is of special Importance
this year, says the State Depart
ment of Health in its Weekly Bulle-
tin, because of the massing of mil

tective measures against the ven-
ereal diseases are strictly enforced,
Danger Of the spread Of these dis
eases is greatly enhanced when
there Is great movement Of the pop
ulation, warned the bulletin which
offered educational services to al
groups being organized TO consider
some Of the. protective measures
that must be taken In wartime
Many organizations, educational ant
welfare groups will be called upor
to provide adequate health facilities
and early education Of young peo'
pie. Also as never before, law en-.
forcement agencies will be called or
to enforce the laws vigorously
against vice conditions which are
responsible for the spread Of the
venereal diseases.
Medical officers of both the Army
and navy have emphasized time and
again what venereal disease will dc
to men in the services. They know,
not only from their own statistics
and experiences but from the exper-
fences in other armies, the amount
of time lost on account Of these dis
eases. Not only men in the armed
forces but workers in war industries
need special protection. Each COM
