C., recommended that the country’s biggest veteran group ask President Truman to utilize every possible government agency to work on the problem. The employment committee also recommended to the Legion’s na tional executive committee that adequate civilian clothing for vet erans be made a matter of pri mary national policy of the Le gion. Announcement of the action came from Lawrence J. Fenlon, of Chicago, chairman of the employ ment committee, to which both matters had been referred by the last convention upon request of the Louisiana, Oregon and Puerto Rican Departments of the Legion “ The housing situation is criti cal in all parts of the country,” Mr. Fenlon said. “Reliable sources report that there are some 2,900,- 000 married veterans who will be needing houses by the end of the year. “If only half of them have one child that means that 7,250,000 veterans, veterans’ wives and ba bies must be adequately quartered if we are to fulfull our promises to the men who fought the war. In addition, 1,200,000 families are living doubled up with other fam ilies.” Whether the housing program proposed by Wilson Wyatt, Feder al Housing expediter, will help to solve the housing shortage is a matter that the Legion can furth er study, Mr. Fenlon sadi. “Any program involving such vast, industrial action also in volves prices, wages, transporta tion, war surpluses, and even city planning,” Mr. Fenlon explained. “We are sincerely hoping that the Wyatt program, supported by ap propriate action by other govern mental agencies—if that is neces sary-will provide a speedy solu tion to the housing crisis.” Red Cross Needs Production Room O .

Southern Railroad Serves Community o Railroad Makes Possible a Wide Market For This Community To Market Its Product. o The Southern Railroad that serves our community, connects the farms with every market— every town and city—in the whole United States. If it wasn’t for the Great SiautTiv ern Railroad in this community there would not be so wide a. market for our farm products. It must be remembered that the Southern Railway pays local taxes to every community thye serve. This tax money goes to help pro vide our schools, highways,, as well as health protection. The Southern Railway buys many products and supplies locally, and employs many local people of our surrounding community. w e should at least be thoughtful enough to give the Southern Rail way a fair chance to compete on an even footing with any other form of transportation.
