For White Plague Camp
Establishment of a state camp for
tubercular children at High Point, the
Sussex county park recently given to
the state by Col Anthony r. Kuser,
was advocated by DR.. B. S. Pollock,
president of the New Jersey Tubercu-
losis League at the opening session of
the organizations annual meeting in
the Stacy-Trent Hotel The meeting
was attended by about 400 representa-
tvs of the various counties and mu-
inequalities of the state.
The plan received general support,
particularly by DR.. Samuel B. English,
superintendent of the sanitorium at
Glen Gardner. Speaking of the activi-
ties of many municipalities against
tuberculosis, DR.. English said that 40
per cent of the children sent to shore
resorts and to camps by civic organi-
cations and municipal bodies do not
gain single pound in the period they
are away.
He declared that such methods Of
attempting to cure and prevent tuber-
culosis are commendable from senti-
mental viewpoint, but that they "are
a mighty expensive way Of expressing
sentiment, as tuberculosis cannot be
arrested in two weeks" Upon his
motion the league named committee
consisting Of one representative from
each county unit to work with the
executive committee in advancing the
plan for camp for children.

Methodist Episcopal Church here for
nineteen years, retiring two years ago
to become chaplain of the prison. He

in the city When he severed his con-
nection with his church many Of its
