Recreation Important in "Chasing the Cure" Recreation plays a v~ry important part in "Chasing the Cure" at the J. N. Adam :Memorial hospital at Perrysburg, N. Y., the city of Buffalo's hospital for the treatment of all forms of tuberculosis. This hospital enjoys the unique distinction of being perhaps the only hospital in this country to have thoroughly equipped playgrounds and a zoo for its patients. The playgrounds and zoo are s;milar to those maintained bv the l;1rger citie s throughout the Cnited States and are a source of recreation not only for the children and adul~ pa tients at the hospital, but for the thousands of person s who visit this institutio n yearly. · ~erry - go-round s . baseball diamonds. tennis court s, miniature golf courses. tc:eter-totters. slides of all descriptions. ho rseback riding, skiing and coasting are just a few of the recreati onal fea ture s tht· patient s may enjoy when their daily period of "curing" is com pleted. $100.000 Thrift Club l.~eading the Junior Cage Loop }lf!rjorie IY e r~on Ro~ t> tta ConleY I )f·rothy Yollman :\Jan· Kru ew·h I llh·C' Hiltim;l <"k .TNm e tt ~ Bre nnen Eth1·l n o).h(· rgFloren <'e Kri e~ ::tnt .Tan :::, rC' f<·r ee Tllinoi ~ The $100,000 Thrift club, formerlv Claude Hill's Bruins, is leading the Junior Basketball league with three straight victories and not a single de- . feat .
