A VILLAGE WITH NO UNEMPLOYED.
• (FROM OWE OWK CORRESPOKDEST.) LONDON, April 1/ The work carried on in the British Legion Village for men suffering from tubercul'osisj at Preston Hall, Kent, was described by Dr. J. B. McDougall, the medical director there, at a gathering of students and nurses in the Bedford College for Women. The turnover from the workshops during the past year, he remarked, was £58,745, of which £16,400 was paid in wages. "At the present moment," Dr. McDougall added, "despite the industrial depression, there is not a single man at Preston Hall unemployed, and the scheme is entirely self-supporting. "The patiehts who settle in the village with their families are very carefully chosen, We have no rotters in the settlement. Every patient who becomes a settler' has to pass through the sanatorium first, and so we have ample opportunity of judging his moral character."
