VD contra 15 seconds By KARIN BURCHSTEAD Staff Writer Every 15 seconds someone in the nation contracts a venereal disease and every year 3,000 deaths are reported from syphilis alone. According to George D. Bennett, VD investigator at the Richland County Health Dept., young adults do not know enough about the symptoms of VD to stimulate their contacting a physician. "We want to saturate the state this month with VD information to emphasize the dangers and symptoms of this disease," he said. "There is a terrific amount of VD in colleges and even high schools in this area," Bennett said. "We're not pointing a finger at any one school; most of the schools are gF*444," he added. Last year South Carolina ranked fifth in the nation in gonorrhea and eihth in syphilis. Of the 15,312 cases reported last year in South Carolina, 6,320 cases occurred in young adults between the ages of 20-24. Teen-age VD, which has increased 78 per cent since 1966, represented 3,473 cases. In Richland County, 1,859 cases were reported. Bennett blames the increased occurrence of VD on more sexual freedom and the advent of the pill. With the removal of the fear of pregnancy, many people do not Y hey saying all tho things about BRIl It's because Brittons brings Ike our Double Knit Slack sle, urgandy, Brown & Navy. In sU /ALUE AT $26.00 BRITT( 1357 Main St. Du )pen A Gameock C.ha cted every in nation think of VD as a consequence, he said. "We're not accusing young people of being promiscuous," Bennett said. "There are 22 million young people in this country, and less than 5 per cent are infected," said Bennett. "What we are saying is that people who expose themselves sexually should be very particular and have an examination if they even suspect they have been in fected," he said. Bennett urged those who can not afford medical help to come to the health department. "Everything here is free, and by a ruling of the attorney general, there is no possibility that in formation will be divulged even to parents," he said. "The records are kept locked and no one has to them exespt A ng with the disease." Bennett emphasized the misconception that VD cam be contracted from door knobs, drinking glasses or toilet seats. He said that the organisms causing VD can not live in the air over 20 seconds. Public health officials estimate that only one in every 10 cases of VD is reported. One in 15 victims of syphilis will become permanently crippled heart victims. One in 50 afflicted will develop syphilitic insanity. One in 100 will lose their eye sight. se TONS. you Great Fashions Ideas tions available in Camel, Ees 30 to 42' A FANTASTIC )NS tch Square 'ge Account)
