Newspaper Ads Aiding VD Education Newspaper * advertising has been added to the list of educa­ tional devices now being used by the New York City Department o’ Health in its campaign to stamp out VD. Designed to alert New Yorkers to this major public health prob­ lem, the advertising focuses upon VD in teenagers and young ad­ ults. It symbolises the tragedies of venereal disease through the tears of a teenager. The ads will be run during the , next six months in the Daily News, Amsterdam News, and El Diario de Nueva York. TV spot announcements are also being used by the Health Department In support of VD education. These have received industry recogni­ tion, and are being adapted by other health departments across the country in conjunction with the National Syphilis Eradication Program of Hie United States Public Health Service. New York City’s campaign against the venereal diseases was officially launched last Novem­ ber at a City - Wide Conference oi civic, social, religious, educa­ tional, and medical leaders. The program to stamp out VD is bas­ ed upon the control of each case of early syphilis, and sustained venereal disease education. 10,000 New Litter Baskets Ten thousand new litter bas­ kets, widespread advertising in news media, and stepped-up san­ itary education will form major parts of an intensified anti-litter program announced by the Sani­ tation Department and the Citi­ zens Committee to Keep New York City Clean. . The announcement was made jointly by Sanitation Commiss­ ioner Frank J. Lucia and Wil­ liam V. Alexander Jr., Secre­ tary of the Citizens Committee, at a 125 Worth Street press con- fernce during which new ‘clean city’ advertising was displayed and a broad supplementary pro­ gram outlined. Taking advantage of New Yorkers’ traditional tendency to­ ward spring cleaning, the Citi­ zens Committee and the Sanita­ tion Department launched a new educational campaign on Mon­ day, with the distribution of the first of 10,000 litter baskets 're­ quisitioned. New Plan Under a new basket-distribu­ tion plan, the Sanitation Depart­ ment will "saturate” main ap­ proach routes to schools and a- musement areas with baskets so that both adult and young pedes­ trians always will have conven­ ient respositories for litter. Sim­ ilar basket saturation has prov­ ed effective in other heavily- pedestrianized areas — particul­ arly shopping centers and routes to them. Supporting the actual basket- distribution will be newspaper ads, TV commercials, posters and car-cards featuring DS lit­ ter baskets. Some of tris "point of sale” advertising will involve actual-size baskets and much of it will be in vivid colors. The new campaign was created by Ogilvy. Benson & Mather, which took on the Citizens Committee account as a public service a year ago. The Citizens Commit­ tee itself was organized by May­ or Wagner in 1955. Advertising copy will stress the fact that ”73,823 New Yorkers paid fines last year (1962) for lit­ tering. Did you risk a $25 fine today? Don’t litter.” Disinterest Men of the worid hold that tt is impossible to do a disinterest­ ed action, except from an In­ terested motive; for the sake of admiration, If for no grosser, more tangible gain. Doubtless they are also convinced, that, when the sun is showering light from the sky, he is only stand­ ing there to be stared at. A, JO • N. Y.

Mulcahey, executive of­ ficer, has issued a directive to Mr. Samuel M. White, director of Maintenance and Operations, for Mr. White to have the area inspected, and all work to have the courts in playing condition completed promptly.” Inquiries made through the Borough President’s office re­ vealed that the present contrac­ tor, who began work on one of the courts, and subsequently sus­ pended operations, will com­ plete that part of the work by the end of May. Pincus Rizaek. engineer for the Borough President’s office in these negotiations, emphasized the bad condition of these courts, and the fact that the people had beenr extraordinarily patient in the face of written promises that they would be repaired.

BY 1959 Drivers Must Adjust To Superhighway Methods The network of superhighways on the right shoulder of the road to gauge following distance.These small reflectors are set 132 feet apart. At 60 mph, you should maintain a distance of at least two delineators. now lacing New York and other states are engineered for care­ free, safe travel. But motorists must adjust their driving habits to enjoy the convenience of these high-speed roads during their spring excursions and summer trips. Because superhighway travel is comfortable and unhindered, it can become monotonous and in­ duce the dangerous state called “highway hypnosis.” Among the proven ways to break the spell and stay alert are: change of speed of your car, and your body position frequently, move your head and eyes constantly, and stop at regular Intervals. At the first sing of blurred vision or heavy eyelids, pull your car off the pavement and rest. Mr. Renchard, who also is Pre­ sident of the Chemical Bank New York Trust Company, notes that when you are finally ready to leave the superhighway, you shouldn't slow down before reach­ ing the turn - off from the main road. Signal your intentions to alert other drivers, turn into the deceleration lane and then reduce speed quickly. Back To Normal The exit ramp win bring you back into stow - driving territo­ ry. So at that point re-adjust your motor habits once more to the swing of normal traffic and drive wisely.

The driver wno tries to use the techniques of city or suburban driving faces many hazards, the New York State Citizens Council on Traffic Safety points out. Differences occur even before you enter the superhighway, ac­ cording to William S. Renchard, president of the Citizens Council. Since the expressways allow no room for error, plan your route before you leave, Mr. Renchard advises. Know which entry ramp to take, and the proper exit. It is a good idea to have another person in the car serve as “navi­ gator” with a road inap. At Entry Ramp On ordinary roads, it is a wise procedure to slow down or stop before proceding to a mein high­ way. This can be dangerous on the entry ramp of an expressway because you force other drivers to brake or swerve to avoid you. While on the entry ramp and acceleration lane build up speed to match the flow of the cars you will be Joining. Once you enter the stream of traffic, Hie key to relaxed driving is proper pacing. Travel neither much faster nor much slower than the cars around you and avoid lane wandering. Rear-epd collisions are thelead- ing cause of deaths on super­ highways. Maintain a safe fol­ lowing distance by staying at least one car' length behind the car in front for every ten miles of speed., Use Reflectors On the New York State Thru way you can use the delineators Temperance Speaker Counts Last Tuesday evening, John­ nie Counts of the NY Giants football team gave appealing re­ marks to a gathering of young people and adults. The meet ing under the auspices of the Mt. Vernon Unit of the Amer­ ican Temperance Society was held at Teen-Town Canteen of the same city. Mr. Counts related the obser­ vation that the third quarter of professional football playing us­ ually separated the habitual smoker from the non-smoking player. While he does not con­ demn the smoking athlete, he warned the audienee that they are better off without the tobac­ co habit. He attributed his own abstin­ ence to alcohol and tobacco to a combination of parental disap­ proval and the natural repulsive taste of tobacco. James E. Wells the local ATS Director followed Mr Counts and reminded the audience that his appearance with the ATS cost him (Mr Counts) at least $1,500 in adver tising fees etc. TUSKEGEEITE HONORED —Mrs. Nellie Marshall la over­ whelmed as Dr. Luther Foster, president of Tuskegee Institute presents her with an award for meritorious service to the New York Alumni chapter.
