Patients at this location who were too sick to go outside were rolled outside to get
fresh air. Cribs were rolled out so infants could get daily sun. Children were treated
quiTe well here. They had a building for arts and crafts, there was a potato chip and
candyman, and from Gale's account this Sanitorium sounded pretty peaceful.
Gale explains further that keeping the children's hands busy allowed the mind to rest
which was an important part of healing.
