The AM A and medical societies throughout the country are en couraging people to (1) avoid exposure to VD, (2) seek prompt examination and neces sary treatment, and (3) report to their doctor, sincerely and completely, their possible con tacts with the disease. “Only by this lawful method can VD be eliminated. And only then can conscientious people stop talking about it.” . LOCAL GUARDSMEN (Continued from page 1) Ed B. Baskin Sr., and son, Bishopville.
