to

The

has

itself

available.
The

is
negated
in
large
measure
by
the
prevalence

for
an

campaign
were
drawn
up
in
December,
in
co-operation
with
the
Junior
Chamber
of

The
high
incidence
of
venereal
disease
in
Prince
Rupert
is
attributed
to
the
shifting
population,
the
prevalence
of
venereal
infection
in
Native
women,
and
a
general
lowering
of
moral
standards,
due
to
the
