Any disease fought in the oper

It's fellow that turks in the
shadows of ignorance.
For example, consider these
statistics gathered by Joseph E
Moore, M. D., of Johns Hopkins
University: "'The incidence Of
syphilis has been dropping pre-
cipitously in the United States
From 1941 to 1852, inclusive, the
total number of civilian cases re.
ported to the United States Pub
lie Health Service fell from 1885,

1947 and 1852, from lot, 900 tc

However, cases of late syphilis

Falsely Labeled
The problem is still with us
1t has plagued many in the past
and will continue to do SO in
the future. However, it Is the
innocent that deserve our SYM
pathy. I do not refer only to
those who have syphilis; but to
those who have been labeled as
syphilitics on the basis of false
positive blood tests"
I have seen a number of such
people in practice. I know what
it does to home. I recall a
16-year-old boy who came in
for a routine examination q
number of years ago. It was like
having bomb drop, to open the
report from the laboratory and
read positive for syphilis" For
tunately, future readings were
negative and the boy was given

THE DETAILS

THE DETAILS
Margaret-I love my parents
very much, but 1 am terribly
disillusioned with them. All my
life, they have told me how they
defied their parents to marry
each other and how they would
never interfere with me when
the time came for me to choose
a husband. Now that I have
put them to the test, they are
screaming and crying constantly
and accusing me of being head
strong and stupid.
I am very much in love with
a young man and we want to be
married. We would like to have
the blessings of my parents,
John having none. Both my
parents are Historically opposed
to the marriage because John
is of a different religion, and
because of his family back
ground and other things that
they had given me the impress
sion over the years were not
important.
I hate to have to marry
against their wishes, but how
can I accept a decision that is
SO contrary to everything they
have brought me up to believe?
Mother - It is true that l
talked through the years about
my own love match with my
husband, but that was a very
different situation. My parents
actually tried to pick husband
for me, and I rebelled. I am
making no such attempt with
my daughter, and would not
think of doing so. I have gone to
extremes to avoid expressing any
favoritism to my daughter IN
the matter of young men.
My husband and I do object
very strenuously to this young
man. Not only is there a differ
ence in religion, but there are
important differences on other
vital questions. I do not think
John shares our moral standards
or has much feeling for family
life. nor do think he has any
belief in simple honesty. I base
these opinions on close observa-
tons.
We are both convinced that
there is little between Margaret
and John except a strong physi-
cal attraction. This Is likely to
wear off and leave them q bank
rupt marriage.
The Councils Views
The parents, unfortunately
have weakened If not forfeited
their influence by harping on
the sacred rights Of romance. 1t
may be wrong for parents to pick
mates for their children, but II
u Just as wrong to go to the
opposite extreme and avoid any
responsibility in planning the
married life of children.
