ADVOCATES RECON-
STRuCTIoN TOWNS
FOR TubERCULARS
(By The Associated Press }

Atlantic City, June 16-Special re-
construction towns may be established
by the government in the near future,
where soldiers suffering from tuber-
culosis can regain their health and at
the same time work at light trades
to fit themselves for full return to
Industrial life. said Colonel Estes Mich
OILS, Commandant of the United States
army general hospital No. 16 at New
Haven, Conn.,, in an address at the
annual meeting of the National Tuber-
culosis association today.
''This is being considered" he says,
''as part of Uncle Sans plan for voca-
tional re-education which, since the
armistice, has for its purpose the fitting
OF men disabled by the war for new oc-
cupatiOns in civil life"
The idea OF special communities for
these men and their families has been
advanced by Captain f. A. Waugh of
the United States Army Sanitary Corps,
and would be for the purpose of bridg-
ing over the gap between sanatorium
treatment and full return to industry.
''Thess towns" said Colonel Nichols,
might be located upon lands in the ma
tional forests. This would permit of the
setting of attractive and healthful wood
working industries for the patients and
afford an opportunity for them to re-
tain permanent control of land hold
ings after they were cured

Germany will ask for an extention of
time in which to reply to the final peace
covenant. The request, it is believed,

copy Of the revised treaty and it has

They have been supplied with ninety

THE PARK PURCHASE

In spite of the apparent apa-
thy of the public on the question
of the park purchase, we believe
that the step is favored by all of
the forward looking citizens of
Roanoke Rapids. Little, if any,
opposition to the plan has been
voiced, and in view of the ex-
perience of other communities
who have waited until the secur-
ing of a park site mas been diff
ficult or impossible, intelligent
or enlightened opposition would
seem unlikely.
Taking for granted the pre-
mise that a park for the use of
the kiddies and the public at
large, centrally and conveniently
located, is a good thing for
town, and few will deny this de-
cision in the matter is clearly a
question of whether the only
available park site can be pur-
chased cheaper now or at some
future date.
It is to be regretted that the
matter has met with so much
indifference; that more Of our
citizens have not come forward
and advocated publicly the pur-
chase proposed: however, the
final responsibility and decision
rest with the Board of Town
Commissioners and we earnestly
believe that they should take
the position that the silence of
the public is consent and make
the park purchase, their decision
will be cause for congratulation
as long as the town may endure.
