B.
Thorstelnsson
stated
that,
since
venereal
disease
Is
so
highly
communicable,
It
Is
no
longer
merely
an
Individual
matter,
but
is
the
concern
of
the
whole
community.
He
felt
especially
that
something
ought
to
be
done
among
the
natives
whose
venereal
disease
rate
in
the
city
Is
tifty
times
higher
than
among
whites.
He
emphasized
home,

and
community
efforts
toward
enlightenment
and
control.

the
seriousness
of

and
outlined
the
plan
of
the
drive.
Modern
advances
in
curative
methods
have
made
the
chances
of
recovery
from
venereal
disease
much
larger,
if
It

Dr.
J.
J.
Gibson
told
the
meeting.
The
horrible
effects
usually
associated
with
gonorrhea
and
syphilis
could
be
avoided
if
the
diseases
were
given
timely
treatment,
he
said.
A
graphic
feature
of
the
meeting
was
the
showing
of
three
talking
films,
"White

"Health
Is
a
Victory"
and
"Nine

(.During
