Reconstruction Towns
for tuberculosis Soldiers

Atlantic City. June 17-Special re-
construction towns may be estab-
lished Ly the government in the near
future, where soldiers suffering
from tuberculosis can regain their
health and at the same time work al
light trades to fit themselves for a
full return to industrial life, said
Colonel Estes Nichols, Commandant
Of the United States Army General
Hospital No. 16 at New Haven,
Conn. in an address at the annual
meeting Of the National Tuberculo-
sis Association today.
This is being considered" he
says, "as a part of Uncle Sans plan
for vocational re-education which
since the armistice, has for its pur-
pose the fitting Of men disabled by
the war for new occupations in civil
life
The :dea Of special communities for
these I1en 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 bridging over the gap
between sanatorium treatment and
full return to industry.
These towns" said Colonel Mich
OILS, might be located upon lands in
the national forests. This would per-
init of the setting up Of attractive
and healthful wood working indus
tries for the patients and afford an
opportunity for them to retain per-
manent control Of land holdings aft
er they were cured.
mo matter where these towns
might be located proper medical su-
pervision would be necessary" he
said, but. whereas, medical treat
ment has first place in sanatorium
care Of sufferers from tuberculosis,
productive industry would take pre-
cedence in the proposed RECONSTRUCT
ton towns. These communities
would require financial assistance at
first but might eventually become
self-supporting."
Surgeon B J. Lloyd of the United
States public health service said
the building of the Panama canal
was but days work in comparison
to the task Of eradicating tuberculo-
sis.
THE tuberculosis problem. when
reduced to its lowest terms" he said,
means the germ Of tuberculosis on
the one hand and the newborn babe
on the other Inashuch as no baby
is ever born with tuberculosis, il the
two could be kept apart there would
not be any tuberculosis problem"
DR.. Lloyd emphasized the need Of
q division Of tuberculosis in the Unit
err States Public Health Service. This.
he said. would permit of co-opera-
tive correlation Of the activities of
all bodies and departments Of tho
government engaged In tuberculosis
work.

1t will be remembered that a few
weeks ago the State House Girls
Club gave very successful dance in
City hall. at which a large party not
only enjoyed the dancing program
but had the pleasure of listening to
short talk by Lieut.. Col. VIM. E.
Southland of Bangor. the hero of Tor
ey. The object was to raise funds
.or the re-adoption of four French
war orphans. which the girls had
provided for during the previous
year. The dance was also a financial
success and the girls lost no time in

Veas OF 10 years Ago
The Boothbay Register in its is
sue OF June IS had the following to
say about the completion Of LAYING
the new water pipe from Boothbay
to Squirrel Island:
In more than Is years no such an
engineering feat has been perform.
ed in this section Of the State as
was finished on Wednesday when the
water was turned on at Squirrel ISL
and through new 3-inch pipe laid
oy superintendent William Latter Of
the boothhay Harbor Water System
and his crew Of men. There was
not sign of leak nor a single in
olcatlon that the work was not a
complete success.
Inc laying of 640o feet of three
men pipe across or under the water
from Boothbay Harbor to SQUIRREL.
island was no mean feat. In fact il
IS not known that another such Job
mas ever been done in the same way
anywhere than here. with one excep-
ton. when pipe was laid under
much better conditions but by the
same method in Puget Sound. There
they mad a comparatively smooth
bottom running off regularly and tide
conditions were good.
The plan used this time was al
most exactly that evolved by Supt.
I.atters father, Richard Latter. some
10 years ago. when the water was
first carried to Squirrel. The elder
Latter tried some standard schemes
unsuccessfully and decided that the
only way the pipe could be laid across
to Squirrel was by floating it and
coupling on as he went along. He
made a success Of the plan, Just as
today his son has done.
Supt. Latter Used more precau.
tions even than his father against
accident for there was not a con-
tingency that. he had not guarded
against. He had anchors, lines and
every appliance ready for a break
or other trouble. That there was
not hitch in the whole work and
that it took only ten days with a
crew OF about 20 men and IA motor
boats the last day is a big feather
In William Latter's cap. Mr.. Latter
has thought Of the work and it's
risks by day and dreamed Of II at
night until sleep was almost q con-
tinual nightmare. He must now feel
the deepest relief that the work ia
done and we'll done.
The wind and tide across the out
er harbor are usually strong and
the bottom surface is both rocky and
rough. At points the water IL 100
feet deep. To lay heavy pipe across
