The two most common venereal diseases are gonorrhea and syphilis. They are transmitted from an infected person to other people by either sexual relations or close body cont.'ict. In July 52 people were treated for active or suspected VD. This compares to approxi mately 15 people treated during the same period last year. In June more neop'e with VD or suspected VO (55) were treated than in any recent year in Cleve land county. Looking back we see that 3 were treated in May, 19 in April, 36 in March, 51 in 'February and 43 in January. The majority of the patients are in the age group 15-24 years with over 50 per cent cf them being females. A number of houheholds in this area will take part in a na tionwide survey on employment and unemployment being con ducted this week by the Bureau ci; the Census, Joseph R.
