THE BRIDGEPORT POST, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1962. FIVF DOCTOR ASSAIL SYPHILIS RISE By LOUIS CASSELS WAHINGTON, Sept. 5-(UPI) A British medical scientist said today a breakdown ol moral standards had caused "an alarming increase in sexually transmitted diseases" such as syphilis. Dr. Claude Scolt Nicol, director of the venereal disease department of St.

Thomas' and St. Bartholomew's hospitals in London, made the statement in an address before a world forum on syphilis attended by representatives of 40 nations. Nicol said the rising incidence of syphilis, which has been causing international concern, was not basically a medical problem. "It is the problem of a change in our moral values which has encouraged sexual promiscuity," he said. Lax Standards He said the trend toward lax standards of personal behavior began eariy in this century, when many people turned away from religious faith and found a new gospel in the teachings of Freud and other psychologists.

"This profoundly altered our moral codes," said Nicol. "Parents came to believe that discipline in the home thwarted the child's development, that sexual impulses should be given free reign."

"These modern epicureans live for 'kicks'; they must experience everything in life before it is too late, sex of course included," he said. Exploit Sex The British doctor said "business interests" had heavily exploited sex "by constantly using it as a theme in advertising, films and on television." This sex-saturation of modern mass culture is a further temptation to youth "la break the legal and moral codes which still survive," he said. Dr. Klaus W. Berblinger.

Billing itself as the "Shortest Airline in the World," it isn't exaggerating. Its entire route, pushing one of its two 15-passenger Ford tri-motors at its cruising speed of between 80 and 85 miles- an-hour, can be flown in less than 45 minutes, including 12 take-offs and landings. Navigate by Monument Pilots navigate by the 352-foot- high Perry's Victory and International Peace monument at Put- in-Bay, nine miles out in the lake.

Mainland grocery stores send out their orders by plane, Funerals are also big business for this airline. They haul the casket and funeral party sometimes making four or five trips to accommodate everyone to mainland cemeteries.

The planes also serve as flying school buses, carrying young students from Rattlesnake island and Middle Bass islands to schools at Put-in- Bay and on the mainland. The local school board pays their fares. On Sundays a priest is flown from island to island. A doctor, living on the mainland, commutes daily to his office in Put-m-Bay. The planes are used frequently fly sick or injured islanders to the mainland hospitals, fly out eloping couples, hunt lost boats, spot ice conditions for ships and direct rescuers to dis- order" rather than a sign strong sexual drives.

He said the strong resurgence of "a disease which most of us thought we had completely demonstrated the dangers ofl "over-confidence" in dealing i any communicable disease. Instead of relying on wonder drugs to "control" syphilis, he said, an international campaign must be launched to "eradicate" venereal disease entirely, so there will be no reservoirs of infection left to reinlroduce the contagion fls soon as control measures are relaxed.

A flatbed truck, carrying 2,000 chickens from Danielson to a New York city market, slid to a stop when the rear axle snapped and the left rear dual wheels fell off on the Connecticut turnpike. The chickens escaped as crates fell in the ground and cracked open. Troopers, aided by town firemen and policemen, formed a chicken posse. One trooper commented ruefully, "We're going (o bo chasing chickens for a week."
