One Of the BIG after he-wnr prob.

states public health service, which
has been charged with the care Of ali
discharged disabled soldiers. sailors,
marines ana war nurpea.
Altho II seems only n short while

About 1000 OF these patients are I'm
hospitals actually owned by the pub.

arc In private hospitals 10 various
cities. whore the hospital has en-
tered Into a contract 10 care for the

funds are left often outliye their

means OF this Community Trust such
donations can be transferred To ave-
hues Of usefulness without the de-

In England IL was found that tho
situation became such that soma
forty thousand cases required a spe-

In order TO get anywhere at all in

have TO transfer. hope IT is not
necessary to explain what an incon.
venience this Is. as well as loss OF
