eal diseases, rarely are involved in this manner. It is important to point out that our only concern is to prevent disease.

In VD work, our success in finding cases and contacts and in getting examinations and treatment for these contacts hinges on confidential information. If we can't keep the in-

formation confidential we know we cannot succeed, for it is understandable that patients will not be willing to come in if our intent is to do more than to keep them well. Our information and program must not in any way threaten a patient's employment or marital relations, cause police action or contribute to legal action.

ON THE CORNER

Come with me kid I will show you how You got no reason To fear me now

I ain't no square I am your friend

If

you say stop

Then that is the end

I know I can tell

We're friends you and me

You come on up

And we will see

If you're as good As you say you are Or if you was bragging Back there in the bar

About all those loves I know they're not lies. When we get home You'll get a surprise I ain't so old

That I can't show And a boy like you Will know it's a go Come on up pal It's just me and you Where are you going Wait I ain't through It's the booze talking Kid come back here Don't leave me like this I really ain't queer.
