VALLEY


Of the San Benito Charity Board,
has a splendid idea for establish
ing a tuberculosis camp IN that
city for treatment Of local cases.
The Charity Board owns half a
block of ground. 1t Is Rev. John
sons idea to build a number Of
small cottages on this plot, large
enough 10 accommodate one or two
patients each. He then would en-
ploy a caretaker. who would be
supplied with a cottage rent free
and paid a small salary.
The cottages would be closely
screened to prevent flies from
reaching the patients and thereby
spreading the disease.
The field worker Of the Charity
Board, the county health unit and
other public services would be called
upon to assist with the work.
Rev. Johnson has asked service
clubs. churches. Sunday schools
and other organizations to build
one cottage each. He says they
would cost 500 and that arrange
ments could be made to pay for
them in one year
What a wonderful thing this
would be for the sufferers who are
so poor they can not receive treat
ment in any other manner-who.
without assistance can look forward
only 70 lingering death.
How wonderful II would be 70
remove these patients from their
humble homes where they are a
menace to the health of all mem
bers OF their families and to their
\ neighDors and friends.
= Rev. Johnsons plan Is praise
\ worthy and has the added advan-
We Of being workable. 1t deserves
Sto succeed.
