1 their own groups, direct school sales were well over $500 million in War Bonds. Indirect results in in- creased buying on the part of the community were incalcuable. Per- hapS that very fact encouraged schools to organize for War Savings sales to the community.
 In Texas, 854 school concerts were presented to combined au- dience of 359,000 with total Bond admission of over 14hs millions.
 The schools of Wheat Ridge, a suburb of Denver, assumed full re- sponsibility for the community l $10,000 quota. The school drive re- suited in sales of $80,000.
 In Detroit 5000 pupils and teachers are enrolled as volunteer salesmen of E Bonds, and have made total sales of over six and 8 half millions.
 In Oakland, California, 68,00C pupils sold over 10000 Bonds. Al the same time two- thirds of the War Band quota for Hayti, Mis- souri, was filled by the school sales In every instance the schools have gone over the top when il came to War Savings goals and achievements. During the Spring Jeep Campaign for schools a quota of 10000 jeep was set for the na- tion. The schools replied with 40,00C jeeps, or $36 millions in War Bonds and Stamps.

Hygiene Educational campaign as a basis for this program. The Bridge port Plan incorporated the activi- ties of the local druggists and all civic, health and welfare agencies for six weeks educational offen- sive against the venereal diseases. Radio programs, pamphlet distri- button, window displays in drug stores, meetings with all organiza= tionS within the Council of Social Agencies, newspaper publicity and luncheon meetings with civic orr ganizationS made up the structure of the Bridgeport Social Hygiene Plan out of which Permanent So- cial Hygiene Program was formed.
 The plan of the State Health De- partment is to duplicate this period of concentration throughout the entire state under the auspices of the local health officer and phar- macy chairman. The larger cities of the state will participate in. this manner, with the program being inaugurated in the City of New London.
 A preliminary organization meet ing held January 10th in the City of New London resulted in the pro- gram receiving the endorsements of Mayor Louis Doane, Senator Thomas Dorsey, Dr. Daniel Sulli- van, Surgeon General of the Law renee Memorial Hospital of New London, and Dr. Benjamin Pennel, local health officer, and many other civic and welfare officials.
 At this meeting Lieutenant Will liam Mackenzie of the Connecticut State Police Department assured the state committee of the support of that group. A communication was received from Governor Bald win endorsing this fight.
 The State Pharmacy Committee consists of Louis E. Kazin, chair man; Jack Maley, president of the c. P. A.; Hugh P. Beirne, secretary of the Board of Pharmacy Commis- sioners; Miss Alice-Esther Garvin, secretary of the c. P. A.; Armand Adams of Meriden; Arthur Greeb of Stamford; and Benjamin Kreiger of New London.
 The State Medical Society through its secretary, Dr. Creighton Barker. of New Haven, has en- dorsed the program and has as- Esured the c. P. A. of its support.
 The experience of leaders in the campaign against venereal disease and all the conditions favoring their spread has proved again and again that the success of control program depends on support by all sections of the community.
 The State Department of Health points out that venereal disease is on the increase in all parts of the State, and days lost in preventable illness interfere with the armed forces training schedules and the war workers productive capacity.
 Dr. Talbot points out that men who acquire venereal infections are not only incapacitated themselves, but they also take the precious time of physicians and nurses. AS we prepare for the final, attack against our country'S enemies, we must re- double our efforts to conserve every ounce of manpower.
 Agencies cooperating with the Social Hygiene Day committee in- clude the American Social Hygiene Association of New York, health department, police department, b. cal pharmacies, organizations, ju- venile court, Council of Social Agencies, Visiting Nurses Associa- tiOn, U. s. O., newspapers, radio and all civic organizations.

State Will Observe
 Social Hygiene Day
Connecticut Pharmaceutical Association to Conduct
 Program Feb. 2; Venereal Disease Drive Planned

With the advent of National So- cial Hygiene Day, which will be oh- served on Wednesday, February End, public health leaders through out the country are focusing their attention on the State of Connecti- cut. In this state the Department of Health through its head of the Venereal Disease Bureau, pr. Hem " P. Talbot, has authorized the Connecticut Pharmaceutical Asso- citation to conduct a Social Hygiene Educational Program. The goal of this program is united community action against venereal disease, the countryiS number one wartime health problem.
 Social Hygiene Day, sponsored nationally by the American Social Hygiene Association will be the oc- +easl0n in thousands of communities throughout the country for inten- sifying the campaign against ven- ereal diseases and all conditions favoring their spread.
 Dr. Talbot, in authorizing this program pointed out that the phar- maceutical profession holds a key position in the fight against ven- ereal disease. The pharmacist, by using his influence, doing educa- tional work, and steering those who consult him in the right direction, can make the difference between success and failure. A heavy share of responsibility for seeing through this vital phase of the war pro- gram rests on him, for 1t is to the pharmacist that the person who fears he has or will acquire syphilis and gonorrhea often comes for advice.
 This program of social hygiene education will be conducted throughout the state during the en- tire year, using the Bridgeport
