Purpose and Scope This manual provides information and instruc- tion in the use of established, practical measures designed to preserve health and prevent disease in the Army. It explains the fundamentals and prin- ciples of sanitation and their application under garrison and field conditions. It points out the re- sponsibilities of command and of the individual soldier for knowing and observing the rules of sanitation and hygiene, especially as they apply to living conditions and circumstances peculiar to the military service. 2. Definition a. Sanitation may be defined as the effective use of measures which will create and maintain healthful environmental conditions. Among these measures are the safeguarding of food and water and the control of disease-bearing insects and rodents. b. Hygiene may be defined as the employment, by the individual, of practices which will keep him healthy. Among these practices are proper eating, body cleanliness, and the avoidance of known sources of disease. c. Military sanitation includes the practices of ~~~~~~~~4~~AGO 5609C both environmental sanitation and personal hy- giene, particularly within the framework of situa- tions and experiences associated with Army life. 3. Importance of Military Sanitation Manpower is our most valuable asset. Every- thing possible must be done to conserve this asset. In recent wars more deaths have resulted from enemy action than from disease, but disease still causes the greatest loss of Army manpower through disability and time lost from duty. Suc- cess in battle-the ultimate objective of any army -demands that troops be maintained in a con- stant state of combat readiness. Military sanita- tion contributes to this effort by employing all of the measures designed to protect and improve the health of the Army. Section II. RESPONSIBILITY FOR MILITARY SANITATION 4. Command a. The commanding officer of a military organ- ization is responsible for the health of his com- mand. In the fulfillment of this responsibility he is assisted by a staff of trained specialists. With the help of their technical advice and guidance, the commander issues orders and enforces meas- ures which will most effectively maintain military sanitation and practices conducive to the health and well-being of his troops. The maintenance of the health and, consequently, the fighting efficiency of his command is one of the commander's highest responsibilities. AGO 5609C S5 b. Supporting the commander in the perform- ance of this duty is his chief medical adviser-the surgeon of the command. The surgeon is responsi- ble to the commander for the successful function- ing of the medical service within his command, including treatment of disease and injury; devis- ing, recommending, and supervising training and activities directed toward disease prevention, personal hygiene, and first aid; furnishing technical advice and supervision in connec- tion with the health aspects of camp sites, water supplies, food and its preparation, waste disposal, bathing facilities, housing, clothing, and insect and rodent control. While it is the commander's direct responsibility to en- force the practices of military sanitation, it is the surgeon's responsibility to advise what should be done. Only in matters involving tech- nical and professional knowledge does the surgeon specify how it should be done. The commander may authorize the surgeon to give orders in his (the commander's) name for effecting immediate correction of sanitary defects. Even then, full re- sponsibility remains with the commander. 5. Army Medical Service The Army Medical Service has the mission of providing a complete health service for the Army. Personnel of the Army Medical Service, under the surgeon, who are particularly concerned with dis- ease prevention and military sanitation measures are the preventive medicine officer, the veterinary officer, the sanitary engineer, the entomologist, the nutrition officer, and members of preventive medi- 6 AGO 5609C cine units. Any or all of these specialists and others may be assigned to and utilized in certain larger commands, so far as the size of the com- mand and related circumstances may dictate. When so assigned- a. The preventive medicine officer, under the surgeon, recommends and supervises an adequate program of preventive medicine for the command to which he is assigned. This program encom- passes personal hygiene, communicable disease control, environmental sanitation, and nutrition. b. The sanitary engineer and the entomologist serve as assistants and technical advisers to the preventive medicine officer and the surgeon re- garding problems of sanitary engineering and the control of disease-bearing insects and rodents. c. The nutrition officer and the laboratory officer serve as assistants and technical advisers to the surgeon on matters of diet, examination of water, milk, and food, and specimens from the sick. d. The veterinary officer serves as an assistant and technical adviser to the surgeon and is respon- sible for the inspection of animals, foods of animal origin, and certain other foods, as directed. e. Preventive medicine units-comprising en- tomologists, sanitary engineers, laboratory special- ists, and enlisted men trained in sanitation and in- sect and rodent control-supervise and assist in the execution of measures of disease control with- in the command as recommended by the surgeon. 6. Corps of Engineers The Corps of Engineers is responsible for the design, construction, and operation of many facili- AGO 5609C 7 ties and services necessary for the maintenance of health. It plans, constructs, and maintains build- ings, grounds, water treatment plants and sewage disposal works. Services such as heat and light and, sometimes, insect

  • Hollywood Loving
    HOLLYWOOD LOVING Kevin Noble Maillard* INTRODUCTION It is no coincidence that Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner1 was released the same year that Loving v. Virginia2 was decided: 1967. It was the first time in American history that interracial marriage was collectively recognized as a legitimate, intimate choice between two adults. This public exposition of racial intermixture exposed a collective memory of racial heterogeneity previously treated in law and popular culture as suspect. Collectively, there were few possibilities, expressions, or affirmative realizations of interracially intimate culture before 1967. Some cases, like McLaughlin v. Florida3 and Perez v. Sharp,4 successfully overturned discriminatory laws targeting interracial couples, but the vast majority, like Naim v. Naim,5 upheld them. * Professor of Law, Syracuse University. Thank you to the student editors of the Fordham Law Review and to the Fordham Professors Robin Lenhardt and Tanya Katerí Hernández for organizing the Symposium entitled Fifty Years of Loving v. Virginia and the Continued Pursuit of Racial Equality held at Fordham University School of Law on November 2–3, 2017. Additional thanks to my excellent Symposium panel for the discussion: Solangel Maldonado, Nancy Buirski, Leora Eisenstadt, and Regina Austin.

    FROM SOCIAL HYGIENE TO SOCIAL HEALTH: INDIANA AND THE UNITED STATES ADOLESCENT SEX EDUCATION MOVEMENT, 1907-1975 Angela Bowen Potter Submitted to the faculty of the University Graduate School in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts in the Department of History, Indiana University October 2015 Accepted by the Graduate Faculty, Indiana University, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. Master’s Thesis Committee ______________________________ Philip Scarpino, PhD, Chair ______________________________ William H. Schneider, PhD ___________________________ Nancy Marie Robertson, PhD iii Acknowledgments When I tell people that I am writing on the history of sex education in Indiana, the common reply is “that should be a very short thesis.” Nearly everyone that I have mentioned the project to has remarked on the seemingly universal experience of awkwardly watching a bad sex education movie in the gym. Not only has sex education stood out in our historical memories far out of proportion to the time spent on it, but also in our cultural memory. All of this is to say, the topic has proved much more challenging and complex than I dreamed it might be. First, I would like to thank the Social Health Association for sponsoring this project and welcoming me into its offices. Everyone was so generous with their time, stories, and patience as the project took longer than anticipated. Researching the history during a time of profound change for the agency, I developed a deep respect not only for the past leaders, but also for the current staff, board of directors, and school partners.

  • John Ford Birth Name: John Martin Feeney (Sean Aloysius O'fearna)
    John Ford Birth Name: John Martin Feeney (Sean Aloysius O'Fearna) Director, Producer Birth Feb 1, 1895 (Cape Elizabeth, ME) Death Aug 31, 1973 (Palm Desert, CA) Genres Drama, Western, Romance, Comedy Maine-born John Ford originally went to Hollywood in the shadow of his older brother, Francis, an actor/writer/director who had worked on Broadway. Originally a laborer, propman's assistant, and occasional stuntman for his brother, he rose to became an assistant director and supporting actor before turning to directing in 1917. Ford became best known for his Westerns, of which he made dozens through the 1920s, but he didn't achieve status as a major director until the mid-'30s, when his films for RKO (The Lost Patrol [1934], The Informer [1935]), 20th Century Fox (Young Mr. Lincoln [1939], The Grapes of Wrath [1940]), and Walter Wanger (Stagecoach [1939]), won over the public, the critics, and earned various Oscars and Academy nominations. His 1940s films included one military-produced documentary co-directed by Ford and cinematographer Gregg Toland, December 7th (1943), which creaks badly today (especially compared with Frank Capra's Why We Fight series); a major war film (They Were Expendable [1945]); the historically-based drama My Darling Clementine (1946); and the "cavalry trilogy" of Fort Apache (1948), She Wore a Yellow Ribbon (1949), and Rio Grande (1950), each of which starred John Wayne. My Darling Clementine and the cavalry trilogy contain some of the most powerful images of the American West ever shot, and are considered definitive examples of the Western. Ford also had a weakness for Irish and Gaelic subject matter, in which a great degree of sentimentality was evident, most notably How Green Was My Valley (1941) and The Quiet Man (1952), which was his most personal film, and one of his most popular.

Dr. Kinsey!”: The Life and Work of America’s Pioneer of Sexology Mikella Procopio Dr. Scott Butler Faculty Sponsor INTRODUCTION Alfred Kinsey’s two most famous books Sexual Behavior in the Human Male and Sexual Behavior in the Human Female characterized the sexual behaviors of thousands of Americans. The content of these texts shocked the nation and initiated public discourse on one of the last great taboos in our society. Sex was a controversial topic of discussion in the mid-twentieth century and many researchers had flirted with sex research as it related to hygiene, or as we would refer to it today, the prevention of sexually transmitted infections. But for all the research that was available, no one really knew what people did sexually. Kinsey took sexual behavior to task. He interviewed thousands of Americans to discover and report not what people were supposed to do, but what they were actually doing.

  • Black and White and Banned All Over: Race, Censorship and Obscenity in Postwar Memphis
    BLACK AND WHITE AND BANNED ALL OVER: RACE, CENSORSHIP AND OBSCENITY IN POSTWAR MEMPHIS By Whitney Strub University of Miami "I cry, hecause I love old niggers," Lloyd Binford told a Collier's reporter iri 1950, his eyes welling with tears as he recalled his youthful friendships with the hlack servants on his family's plantation.
