 SHAKE A LEG

Can't Seward show a lit tie get-up and have a Fourth of July celebration?
 If there ever was a time when there ought to be some display of energetic patrio- tism, it should be on the com- ing Fourth, with the prOba- ,bilities that by that time worlds peace has come. If Seward fails to celebrate it will be some advertising that the city will get from other sections in Alaska.
 One of the organizations in Seward, or a hustling group of men should take the matter up today, not de. lay, for the Fourth IS only one week from Friday.
 The men out the line should know whether to come to Seward or go to An chorage, as the latter city is  planning a big celebration.
 A celebration of the Four tn practically means a three days holiday, Friday, Satur- day and Sunday.
 There is material here for every kind of sport and it can be found, if looked for. 9N9S9SsRlgfls6Eg66gIg 9N9SiS9SIgsR0lggfElgs6Eg66gIgIgIg0S1sA

RECONSTRUCTION TOWNS ID BE
 BUILT SOON

ATLANTIC CITY. June 25- Spec ial reconstruction to .NS may he ''>' tabliShed by the government m the near future. where soldiers suffering from tuberculosis can regain the health and at the Sau" time work a. hght trades 10 iii th"wSclvcS for . full return to induS.rial life. >aid Col. Estes Nichols. Comwardant of tn" United States Army General Hospital No. Is at New Haven. .;t m. in an aG- dress at the annual meeting of th. National Tuberculosis Association.
 "This is being considered. " he says, "as part of Uncle Sans plan for vocational re-education which. since the armiStice, has for it's purpose the fitting of men disabled by the war for new occupation in civil life
 The idea of special communities to" these men and their families has been advanced by Captain F. A. Waugh or the United States Army Sanitary Corps. and would be for the purpoS" of bridging over the gap between san atorium treatment and full return to industry.
 "These towns" said Colonel Mich ols. might be located upon lands n the national forests. This would per init of the setting up of attractive and healthful woodworking industries for the patients and afford an opportnn' ity for them to retain permanent con trol of land holdings after they Wei" cured.
 "No matter where these towns might be located proper medical sup ervision would be necessary, he Sa'd "but. whereas. medical treatment has first place in Sanatorium care Of sui ferers from tuberculosis productiV" industry would take precedence in the proposed reconstruction towns. These communities would require financial assistance at first but might eventu- ally become self-supporting."
 Surgeon B. J. Lloyd of the United States public Health Service said tte building of the Panama Canal was but a days work in comparison 10 the taiE of eradicating tuberculosis.
 "The tuberculosis problem" when reduced to its lowest terms" he Said means the germ of tuberculosis m one hand. and the newborn babe on the other. Inasmuch as no baby is ever born with tuberculosis if the two could be kept apart there would not be any tuberculosis problem"
 Dr. Lloyd emphasized the need o' a division of tuberculosis in the United States Public Health Service. This h" said. would permit of cooperative cor relation of the activities Of all bodies and departments of the government engaged in tuberculosis work.
