campaign to assist World War II vet
erails who have bought or may buy
a house built under the Veterans
Emergency Housing program is well
underway in North Carolina, District

the Veterans Emergency Housing
program is to start the building of
2,700,060 houses in 1946 and 1947 at
prices veterans can afford to pay.
OPAt he said, has bom delegated

that veterans get first chances to buy
or rent these new dwellings.
"Builders must prominently display
am official placard reading 'Hety for
Veterans' on the site of each house
being built under the program. This
placard must show the approved ceil
ing price for either sale or rent and
must give the project serial number.
It most he displayed within five days
after construction is started and re
main where veterans can see K until
the preference period expires, unless
sooner sold or rented."
