physicians. Ke said: “Gonorrhea continues to be a major communicable disease for the age group 15 to 19. Surprised, anyone?” For this, doctors are mainly to blame, said Dr. Abraham Gelperin, senior staff prysician of the Veterarfc' Administration Hospital in Chicago. Now that this "VD” can be cured easily, doctors make light of it and many don t report their cases to public health authorities. Identify Contacts This cripples the s c i e n c e of epidemiology, he continued. That|

i science traces the patterns by which communicable diseases i spread among people in order to interpose blocks to prevent spread. In VD. this involves identifying the “contacts” of infected persons so they can be located and treated before they become spreaders themselves Before gonorrhea could be easily cured with antibiotics or the sulfa drugs, these VD cases usually were treated in VD Clinics or by specialists. Now they are mainly treated in the offices of I family doctors who usually see

r the patients “only once’’ and $ there is "poor or no contact lih ► vestigation.” t Despite the ease with which the ■ disease is cured, medical science I is not even close to controlling its I spread. The annual t-eported inci- : dence is around 1,000,000 cases and Dr. Gelperin said this was • undoubtedly way below the true : incidence. Os all cases, 20 per cent’ involve teen-agers, he said. < “There are many reasons for ■ our seeming failure,” he said in < 1 the technical journal of the Amer- ■ ican Academy of General Prac-

tice. "Os prime importance is the attitude toward gonorrhea of bur physicians and of members of other health professions, aa well as of people in general. Conditiohed by Attitude "Certainly what an 18-year-old thinks’ of this disease is conditioned by the attitudes of his efdmarks are more important than marks are more important thna our public pronouncements. In reality are we contemptuous of gonorrhea?” Before there can be effective control of the disease, "two facts" |

must be acknowledged — "First, the private practitioners of medi- ' cine, as well as the health departments, have done poorly in controlling the disease. Second, the control must be based upon longterm community efforts." Conscience BELDING, Mich W — Belding received $2 in “conscience money.” A letter, postmarked lonia* read: "Two dollars for shoes I stole from the dump. May God ; forgive me.” '
