THE ELKIN TRIBUNE, ELKIN, NORTH CAROLINA Washington, January 26. President Roosevelt's second term of office began last Wednesday, January 20. He has come through the strain of his first term in bet ter shape than even his friends believed possible, yet the heavy ■duties have worn him perceptibly and, as he stated himself in his appeal to Congress to authorize the enlargement of the Execu tive staff, "the President cannot adequately handle his responsi bilities; he is overworked, it is humanly impossible for him to carry out his duty as Chief Ex ecutive because he is overwhelmed with minor details and needless contacts arising directly from the bad organization and equipment of the Government." The plan of reorganization which the President's committee drew up and which he has urged upon Congress would give the Chief Executive a lot of addi tional help. There would be six assistants directly attached to the White House staff in addition to the secretaries now provided. As the Committee suggested these shoul i be men whose job would be to keep in touch with every administrative department and make recommendations to the President on administrative meth ods and personnel. The President's Plan The plan calls for the addition of two Cabinet departments, So cial Welfare and Public Works, and changing the name of the Department of Conservation. The hundred or more independent agencies, administrations, author ities, boards and commissions would be distributed among the twelve major departments. An important part of .the Pres ident's plan is to abolish the pres ent Civil Service Commission and instead provide a single personnel officer or Civil Service Adminis trator with an unpaid advisory board of six public-spirited citi zens, to assist in placing every Government position not concern ed with the shaping of policies in the irremovable classified ser vice. The President's reorganization plan ran head-on into Congress' own ideas about reorganization, as soon as it was submitted. Sena tor Harry Byrd of Virginia is chairman of a committee which has had its own experts at work for nearly a year, and which has different ideas as to what needs to be done. Congress Doubtful The boys on Capitol Hill, much as they would like to go along with the President, don't like a number of things about his plan. In the first place, they say, it would tend to concentrate too much power in the Executive, which is not the idea of Congress at all. Moreover, the President's plan would abolish the position of Comptroller-General, which was created by Congress as a check upon Executive spending. And one thing the boys on the Hill decidedly disapprove is the idea of sewing up all the government jobs so tight that a Congressman or a Senator can't even get a postmaster appointed. The President was entirely frank in pointing out that his plan of reorganization consider ed efficiency first and economy only secondarily. Senator Byrd and a few others are equally frank in saying that it is time to think about economy. They will bring forward reorganization plans of their own.

HEALTH NOTES SURRY COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT RALPH J. SYKES, M. D., Health Office^ SYPHILIS \ As a danger to public health, as a peril to the family, as a menace to the vitality, health and pro gress of the race, the venereal dis eases, of which syphilis is the most important, are justly regard ed as the greatest of modern plagues and their prophyaxis pre vention the most stressing prob lem of modern preventive medi cine. They are a prime cause of physical and mental disability and reduced economic efficiency. Syphilis is a specific infection caused by a spiral organism. It is obtained by direct contact with an infected person, by innocula tion with infected things and by congential transmission. As to the origin of syphilis there is the group that call it the American disease from the idea that the sailors of Columbus [caught it from the Indian and carried it back to Europe. Then there is the more accepted theory at the present time that syphilis is an old disease. There is little doubt now that syphilis existed in Europe centuries before America was discovered.

Celsus in 250 A. D. tells us enough to indicate that he had knowledge of all three venereal diseases. Qalen in about 190 A. D. wrote describing condi tions that syphilis cause in the body. There is no doubt that syphilis was recognized as a widespread and a very severe disease in Eu rope toward the end of the 15th century. It is usually accepted now that syphilis is an old world disease rather than a new world disease. The conquest of syphilis is the next great objective in public health. In spite of the difficulty in compiling accurate statistics, public health officials now believe that syphilis is the most common of all contagious diseases except measles in epidemic years. Syphi lis is over twice as common as scarlet fever, four times as com mon as tuberculosis, five times as common as disabling automobile accidents, ten times as common as diphtheria and does one hun dred times as much damage as infantile paralysis. In Dr. Parran's article which appeared in the Readers Digest he said "That syphilis struck one out of every ten people." Here in North Carolina from all the in formation that we can obtain, it is more common than that. The News and Obsrever on January 17, gave the results of a survey in what was thought to be a typical county ih North Carolina. This report showed that one out of every five had syphilis. A report from the Greensboro Health De partment which appeared in the Daily News on January 19 report ed a positive test for syphilis in one out of every seven persons tested In 1936. In our own de partment we tested 881 persons. Those tested were mainly men and women in jail, sewing room workers, food handlers, and many other individuals desiring to have the test. Out of the group tested we found that one out of seven gave a positive test for syphilis. Kneeling Maudine—Was he on his knees when he proposed to you. Sue—No, I was on them.
