Days of sadness still come over us, tears in silence often flow. No one knows the silent heartaches. Only those who have lost can tell of the grief now borne in silence for the one we loved so well. Three years have passed since that sad day the one we loved was called called away. God took him home—it was His will. But in our hearts he liveth still. In our hearts your memory lingers. Always tender, fond and true. There isn’t a day, dear Ben nie, we do not think of you. Sadly missed by wife and child ren: Ethel, Bennie, Jr., Betty Pearl, Ollie Bell, Dollie Zell, Ernest and Bernice Hooks. Health Officer: Several years ago, discussion on the subject of the venereal diseases of syphilis and gonorrhea was con sidered taboo except in medical circles. But the destructive power of this infection was growing by leaps and bounds. At home, ve nereal disease brought in by one member of a family caused dis astrous effects on the other mem bers. Hundreds of babies were born dead or deformed due to infection transmitted from mother to child either before or after birth. Syph ilis was responsible for 95.000 re jections out of the first 2.000.000 men physically examined for se lective service in World War II. The picture in Mississippi was the ***********4.*4.*4^4^*4^*4„ blackest in the nation. Something had to be done. Therefore, one of the foremost battles on America’s home front during the world con flict just ending has bee a quietly waged war against the venereal diseases. In the history of all past wars, there has been a decided increase in the incidence of venereal dis eases, particularly of syphilis. How ever, during the past few years the United States has been one of the few countries where we have held our own in this battle. In Missis sippi. there is evidence which leads us to believe that we have gone even further. Not only has the in cidence been held at a pre-war level but we believe it has actually been forced below that of pre-war years. How has this been accomplished? .me atctuc uuaiu ui neaun, in co operation with the U. S. Public Health Service, recognized early that it would take action to hold the line. Therefore, in Mississippi, a staff of full-time venereal disease investigators was employed to lo cate those persons who were most likely to be infected. Three rapid treatment centers were opened where patients who had a venereal disease could be hospitalized and given the quickest and the best known medical care—one at Brook haven. one at Meridian, and one at Greenwood. These treatment centers are staff ed by doctors who were specialists in the diagnosis and treatment of venereal diseases. Penicillin, which doctors believe is the most potent medicine yet discovered for treat ment of syphilis and gnoorrhea, is being used in the treatment cen ters. A transportation system which touches each county health depart ment at least 3 times a week (and some more often) has been set up to take new patients to the center and bring “cured’’ patients home.

In this way, the private physician was able to have available for his use in this fight against venereal dis ease, the latest developments in the field. The private physician, too, has done much to help hold the line.
