Golf Clubs MAY
Be Converted
Into Hospitals
BY LAYTON CARVER

NEW YORK, July 9 QNS).--
Many golf clubs which might go
bankrupt or be put out of action
at least for the duration. are going
to get new lease on life through
movement now on foot 10 make
hem available as emergency and
convalescent hospitals.
This is at once a brand new
phase Of the war being brought
home TO us and a boon 10 some
clubs which might fold up due TO
gas rationing and curtailment OF
leisure hours among the member

Many a club-swinger now is in

SALVATION COMES

That sounds reasonable enough.
A golf club should be about as
good a place As YOU can find in
which 10 recuperaie from the war.
This VIII be the salvation of
many clubs. Make no mistake
about that. Gas rationing alone
has caused considerable worry. for
members have steadily curtailed
their golfing activities under the
circumstances and many club
about the country is on the verge
Of closing up until the war rs over.
