.. Daring 1934. reports tto National
Safety Council, automobile acci
dents in the United States result
ed in 197.M4 cases of permanent
disability. Yet, in that same
year, syphilis attacked and dis
abled more than half a million
persons in this country.
With such facts in mind it is
easy to see why a thousand health
leaders—physicians, bacteriolog
ists, nurses ar.d social workers—
attended the Conference on Ven
ereal Disease Control in Wash
ington a short while age. These
men and women came from all
parts of the country at the call
the U. S. Public Health Ser
vice. They met to consider way
“■and means whereby local. State
and national efforts may be co
ordinated effectively against the
common enemy They went back
to their homes with an enthusi
astic determination to apply the
t>e-st procedure that science and
experience have evolved.
And this brings us to the often
asked question, "What is the of
ficial venereal d.sease control pro
gram of the U S. Public Health
Service0" Well—the answer *s
that nc single hard-and-fast pro
gram has beer, initiated or pro
moted. Certain general princi
ples apply to all sections of the
country, but each State and ter
ritory must make its own adapta
tion of those principles. Avail
able resources and personnel vary
widely in the states, and meas
ures that are practicable in one
might be impossible of applcai
tion at present in another. The
Service has merely out-lined cer
tain goals. leaving to the States
the widest latitude in the choice
of ways to ATTAIN these goals.
In briefest terms the following
are the minimum objectives of
the program to stamp out syp
hills: First, ample laboratory
and treatment facilities so that
no case need go undiagnosed or
untreated: Secondly, ample case
finding ar.d social service follow
up personnel so that sources of
infection can be located and brot
in for treatment, and patients al
ready under treatment can be
persuaded to continue until cur
education so that all may become
ed: Thirdly, ample popular health
familiar with the essential facts
regarding syphilis—:.e. how it is
contracted, its symptoms, its 3
stages, and the results when treat
ed and when untreated.

poropriation totaling S8.000.000
was authorized for allocation to
State and local health depart
ments This sum re to be used to
assist in the establishment and
maintenance of more adequate
public health services of all types
To share in the allocation of these
funds, health officers must submit
their budgets to the U. S. Public
Health Service for approval.
Many plans for strengthening
venereal disease control have
been approved and are under
way. Up to October 1st, 1936. 25
States plus the District of Colum
b:a and Alaska already had stren
gthened their personnel and facil
ities for fighting syphilis through
allotments made out of Social
Security funds. Others have been
added since that date.
A study of the newly instituted
activities in the 25 States, the
District of Columbia and Alaska
indicates an urgent need for gen
eral adoption of the following 8
measures among other:
1. The appointment of a full
time venereal disease control of
ficer in every State and large city
department of health.
2. A much more liberal policy
with regard to the free distribu
tion to physicians and clinics of
anti-syphilitic drugs.
3. More general use of the mis
croseopic dark-field examination,
either direct or delayed, in the
diagnosis of early syphilis.
4. More widespread use of epi
demiologic investigations in the
control of syphilis.
5. Greater persistence on the
part of health officers in the at
tempt to obtain reliable morbid
ity and mortality reports. •
6. The development of more
and better facilities for diagnosis
and treatment.
7. The adoption of reasonable
standards of efficiency by State
health departments before formal
recognition and aid are given to
ciimcs for the treatment of syp
hiliS and gonorrhea.
8. A much more liberal allot
ment of funds for direct expendi
tures in the control of the vener
eal disease.
You recall, probably, the grac
ious greeting which President
Roosevelt extended to the thous
and representatives who met in
the December conference. In his
letter the President said, "The re-:
cent increase in public interest in .
the problem before the confer
ence is extremely gratifying.With
the assistance now being given
by the Public Health Service thru
Social Security funds, it should
be possible for States and local
5 authorities to develop needed fa
; cilities for the treatment and con
trol of these diseases. It is my
understanding that out of your
deliberations there will come aj
statement of principles and met-1
.hods which should be useful to:
every community in the country
in applying most effectively the
scientific knowledge which v.e
have to minimize these serious j
hazards to the public health.
“The Federal government isj
deeply interested in conserving!
the resources of the country by
all appropriate methods. The at-;
tainment of your objectives will
do much to conserve our human
j resources and would reduce con
siderably the present large costs
for the community care of the
disasterous and results of the
venereal diseases. You have my
best wishes for success.”
To this notable expression of
encouragement may be added the
message sent by Surgeon General
Parran to the host of forward
looking men and women who at
tended a nationwide series of
meetings of February 3rd, 1937,
National Social Hygiene Day:
“The United States Public Health
I
i Service is eager tc do its part ir.
j utUzir.g this new r.atior.a. inter
est. We solicit the cooperation
i and help of every type of nation
al. S:at; and community organ:
ration in this undertaking. This
is a task not of your health de
partment alone, nor yet of the
physicians erf your community. It
is a task for the whole people.”
This is a view of the interior of the church at Green
ville. Delaware, where the son of President Roosevelt
wed the daughter of the du Ponts. Politically, their fam
ilies often have been opposed—and that’s romance in
America, in any man's language.—AP Photo
