. The game was one of the most
“exciting ever to be held here, and
" the large crowd present received
plenty of thrills. Georgia held the
Jead throughout the first half, and
* Forida took it early in the second
period, and held it gll the way.
Kinzey Outstanding
. “Spec” Kinzey, a smooth-work

_man for the 'Gators. He collected
10 points during the fracas and

margin of victory.

any referendum should be on a
state-wide instead of a county
unit basis.
Efforts by the federal authori
‘ties to enforce the SI,OOO tax on
beer and liquor dealers in dry
states met with a set-back when
an injunction was granted by Fed
eral Judge W. H. Barrett in Au

impost. He held that it was a pen
alty and not a revenue measure,
and is, therefore, invalid.
{ Collection Halted
A drive by W. E. Page, collec
tor of internal revenue, to enforce
this tax under instruction from
Washington was halted by this in
junction. If anything more is done
it will be after some decision over
iturning the Augusta judge's rul

VENEREAL DISEASE
CLINIC DISCUSSED

board of health, he urged that it
be re-established. Commissioner
Brown succeeded ' in * having ‘the
clinic re-established in 1932, and it
ran until the stummer of “1933,
when it was ordered closed tem
porarily hy the hospital sur‘;erin‘-
tendent. It has not been re-opened
since that time.
Made Progress
In the last six years the depart
ment of health, with the coopera
tion of physicians in the commu
nity, has made relatively long
strides forward in the solution of
the venereal disease problem—rve
garded by many as the biggest
public health problem in the state
today. Athens has probably made
more progress in solving this prob
’lem than any other community in
the state, or, at least it has done
ks much, the records indicate.
Prior to five or six years ago
very little was done to grapple
'with the venereal disease problem,
but since that time the health de
partment laboratory has made
hundreds of tests, some of the
patients having Teen sent in by
the public health nurses and oth
ers by physicians. Last year a
total of 1,276 tests were made.
Two hundred and seventy-four of
these were positive. Of the tests
made 808 patients were sent to
the department by physicians and
467 by the public health nurses.
During the time the health de
partment laboratory has been
making these tests, several hun
dred cases of venereal disease
have been uncovered.
In 1932, the commissioner of
health reported that 232 cases of
venereal disease were reported to
the department in the preceding
year. A total of 117 new cases
were registered for treatment#at
the clinic, and a total of 311 clinic
treatments were given. In 1931 the
health department made 980 labo
ratory tests for syphilis and gon
orrhea.
In 1933, Commissioner Brown
reported that 204 cases ‘of venereal
disease were reported to the de
partment of health in the preced
ing year. A total of 185 clinic
treatments were made, and 33 new
cases were registered for treat
ment. A total of 916 laboratory
tests were made for syphillis and
gonorrhea.
In his report to the board of
health this year, Commissioner
Brown declared, “there is urgent
need for restoration of the vene
real disease clinic which was
abolished by officials of the Ath
ens General hospital.”
