Aid Given Sick Youth. Tuberculosis Patient to be Sent to Seattle Hospital.
Vancouver, Wash., April 19 - When Arnold Carlson, 17, of Brush Prairie, who is suffering from tuberculosis was force to leave a sanitarium a few months ago because his money ran out, he was unable to get aid from the county because his father owned a farm in this county. The farm was mortgaged to the limit and his father was unable to keep him in the sanitarium. The youth is one of six children whose mother is dead.
A letter from the lad, published in a local paper, started an investigation by the Salvation Army. The organization appealed to local citizens for aid and a fund has been raised to send Carlson to a Seattle sanitarium. Carlson will start tomorrow.
