This is a boon to the man who lived There are many phases of life to be carried on in the homes, and the pa~ tients here hit upon the idea of form- ing an organizfltion which would pro- vide machinery for promoting ath- letics, social life and maintaining a canteen, as well as a bond of interest common to all the men in the home.
