Did you know?
In 1916, in the year that Jerry Melka was born, visiting nurse Margaret Sanger opened the first birth control clinic in the U.S. at 46 Amboy St. in Brooklyn New York. Ten days after the clinic opened, Sanger was arrested for "violating laws against giving out birth control information" which was defined as obscenity. The clinic was not handing out birth control - just information about sex and birth control methods. (The Comstock law categorized information about abortion, family planning, and contraception as “obscene”.) The clinics and organizations that Sanger established later evolved into the Planned Parenthood Federation of America.

In 1952, at the age of 36 years old, Jerry was alive when on July 2, Dr. Jonas E. Salk tested the first dead-virus polio vaccine on 43 children.
