LOS ANGELES, Aug. 14.—Re-establishment of World War II men and women veterans in the constructive postwar community life of the nation they are now serving so valiantly is a major objective of Proposition No. 1, the $30,000,000 veterans' home and farm bond issue on the November 7 state election ballot, according to Ed W. Bolt of San Francisco, prominent veterans' leader, state chairman of the veterans' farm and home committee. This measure, patterned after the highly successful bond issues of 1922, 1926, 1930 and 1934, enabling 19,000 veterans of World War I to acquire $89,000,000 in homes and farms through California veterans welfare board loans, would afford service folks of the present global conflict similar opportunities. The proposal has received the unanimous endorsements of scores of influential organizations and groups, representing many millions of public-spirited patriotic men and women of California.
"Men and women serving under the flag of the United States' fighting forces are looking forward to the days of victory ahead, when they can return to their own home cities and towns, and take their proper and well-deserved places in the state and community," Bolt said. "Ownership of their own home is a dream carried by all the courageous defenders of our liberty.
"The years and months of lasting peace should hold for them assurances of security and a definite interest in the welfare of their community. The surest attainment of this permanent happiness is to acquire one's own home or farm, be a part of the family and community life, and achieve a self-reliant place in the growing future.
"Adoption of Proposition No. 1 will offer the veterans of World War II the type of appreciation of their sacrifices that they deserve.
Their families and neighbors, fully aware of this offered security, are in the forefront of this voluntary campaign to achieve a unanimous approval of this gesture of appreciation to our returning California veterans."
