EDITORIAC SYPHILIS CONTROL We quote from a recent editorial of the Raleijrh) News and Observer that the hifh syphilis rate of th^ state is due primar ily to the larsre Neg:ro population, further thjat the sjrphilis nte of the state’s whites is no higher than that of Vermont, which boasts of one of the Nation’s lowest syphilis rates. We art aware of the serious intpKcations i» these state ment as-the editor of that publipa|;i^ w*e are cQsrniz^ H;ii^^he widd premlence^ tkm mUim.»moae th6 state's Nemro population constitutes a menace to thie senerAl puUic health. North Carolina's Board of H%lth and the vafious county liealth organismtions should get busy and formulate f^lftns for the »mpl^ eradication of this potent enemy of humanity. To estaUish free clinics is not, in all respects, ft satiafaetory solution to the problem. In our opinion, a more widespread progr«n of education should be undertaken to > acquaint the masses with the deadly nature of the disease. More rigid bealth Jaws regarding this scourge should be enacted and en- fot«ed. Carriers of the deadly virus should be forced by'pub lic law to take treatment, and if neceraary; quarantii^ to Kvoid infecting others. The cloak of modesty, which for so long has made any discussion of the disease taboo, should be discarded or a saner view toward this social evil. Syphilis am be controlled, or even eradicated. The solu- ^es not lie in the hands of any one* group;, it is » probr lem tl^ calls for united action. It availeth little t9 point out tiiat the disease is more pre'ralent in one Mrt of the popu lation tbu in the ether. The crux of the «|kile matter is to lid our iti^ of this plague, one of the most deadly of sotiial diamnr . by eoncerted action.
