Plan towns for sick soldiers to recuperate
Atlantic City June 16 Special reconstruction towns may be established by the government for soldiers with tuberculosis to regain health and work at light trades. Colonel Estes Nichols says this is part of Uncle Sam's vocational re education to fit men disabled by the war for new occupations in civil life. The towns would be in national forests with medical supervision, offering wood working industries and possible long term land control after cure. Initial financial aid would be needed but self support could follow. Surgeon B J Lloyd notes eradicating tuberculosis surpasses building Panama Canal in scope.
