PAPER WASTE
In spite of all the effort exerted in this column for the
past year or more to bring about a reduction in the use of
paper by government bureaus and agencies the waste was
continued and now paper users the country over are being
called on indeed, ordered to
per cent. It is a heavy price that all of us must pay for the
privilege of throwing government publications, publicity,
propaganda and what-not into the waste basket but so it
goes. If only our words had been heeded government em
ployees would have been released for war service, the mails
would have had no such burden to bear as has been the case,
waste baskets would have been left empty and paper saved.
Now, to add insult to injury, following the order to cut
paper use comes more publicity junk from the food distribu
tion administration of the department of agriculture 14
pages of it with propaganda for the use of beans- The bean
grower wants free advertising and the food administration
wants it given to him.
Wonder how far we would get if we asked for free beans
or urged that consumption be cut? Nowhere, of course.
Even though our request was approved we would still want
to fight the government waste of paper and shall do so.
V. D. REPORTING
Though communicable disease in general in Oregon de
creased in 1942, it is noted in the latest issue of the bulletin of
the state board of health, gains were noted for the two
common venereal diseases, syphilis and gonorrhea. State
Health Officer Strieker says that these higher totals were
probably due to better reporting rather than higher incidence
rates.
Still pounding on our thesis that until there is full and
complete reporting sound measures for control will be
lacking, we point out that in this same bulletin, in
the communicable disease report for the week ending
January 10, it appears that in only seven counties did 100
percent of the physicians make reports. No reports what
ever were made by the physicians of five counties, one of
these being Multnomah. Better reporting, so that the extent
of the problem may be understood, is an essential in the
fight against venereal disease.
What is being done to insure better reporting?
