PADGETT Aitant District Health Officer The American Social Hygiene as sociation has designated Wednes day, February 1, aa "National So cial Hygiene Day." Each year a day is set aside for the purpose of in forming the population concerning the venereal diseases. 'This slogan this year is "Guard-Against Syph ilis." Dr. Thomas Paran, surgeon gen eral of the United States public health service, has called syphilis The No. 1 Killer," because he be lieves that taking all things into cpnsideration it causes mote deaths than any other disease with which the United States has to contend. A large per cent of blindness and deafness is due to this disease. Each year there is an estimated 60,000 babies bom with syphilis in the United States. It is also esti mated that about one million new cases appear in our -country each year. Approximately 10 out of every 100 people in the United States have syphilis. Although syphilis is not a disease confined to any class or group, prostitutes have the largest percentage of cases. Some time, sooner or later during, the life of a prostitute, there is almost a 100 per cent chasce that she will .become in fected with syphilis. On the other hand we must not lose sight of the fact that, approximately half of all cases are innocently contracted. Syphilis respects neither color, race, religion, sex or social position. All human beings are susceptible. Thousands upon thousands of cases of syphilis go unnotiiced and probably would never be picked up except by routine blood testing. The blood test is the surest way of determin ing whether or not you are infect ed with this disease. If discovered early in the stage of the disease, syphilis can be cur ed in about 85 or 90 per cent of the cases. If allowed to run undiag nosed or untreated for several years, the chance of ultimate cure has been reduced almost 50 per cent, so one sees how important it is to discover the case early m its progress before it has gained a firm hold on the body. Medical science has discovered the cause of syphilis, knows 'how to diagnose and has. an effective treatment to cure it. With this in formation, it is sheer neglect if the disease is allowed to go undiscov ered and unchecked. Syphilis is the cause of 50 per cent of all miscarriages. A mother with syphilis will probably not de liver more than one out of six of her babies alive, asd about nine out of 10 of all babies born to syphilitic mothers wjll develop signs of congenital syphilis. If syphilis is discovered in a pregnant mother and this mother receives as much as five months continuous treatment before her baby is born, the child has about 80 per cent or Rabun to Georgia, returning by way of Franklin.

One can never be sure he or she is free from syph ilis because one feels fine and sees no sign of illness from syphilis. The blood , test is . the best way to be sure. Blood tests are free, and by having a blood test you may save your life or the life of a loved one: HOG SALE A cooperative shipment of 247 fat hogs through the cooperative market at New Bern netted the farmers approximately $4,000 last week, reports County Agent L.
