From the Feb. 29th Wilmington Star-News "Back Then" column.
FEBRUARY 25, 1942. Potential workers at the North Carolina Shipbuilding Company who have social diseases can still get a job as long as they get the appropriate treatment required by the health department.
Syphilis was an especially bad problem.
I imagine there was a worker shortage at the company as its war orders were definitely on the rise after Pearl Harbor.
