completing the deal this week.
He said that although many
more veterans loan applications
are coming in for processing, Ha-
viland's was No. / in Macomb
County.
Interviewed at his trim, at
tractive frame dwelling, 80 Az
cry street at the foot of Michigan
avenue, the former sergeant, age
%, was emphatic in his praise
of the national legislation that
has made his home dreams come
true.
"After IL years of army life;
living in camps, diving in fox
holes and finally coming back 10
a three-room apartment for two
adults and two children, this IS
really happiness he asserted
as he showed his interviewer
around the pretty home.
(Until the interview devel-
oped, Haviland didn't mention
that the coy home was also a
lot better than a hospital ward.
He spent eight months in over
seas and American hospitals with
a broken back, suffered from
the conclusion of a German
bomb in the Mediterranean area.
For this "close miss" he did
not receive the Purple Heart
award, because no skin was bro
ken or blood spilled.)
MONTHS OVERSEAS
Haviland was born in Chicago
and reared in Michigan. He en-
listed at Selfridge Field in 1888
was trained as an armorer, and
later became an armor inspector
in which capacity he served n
Ireland, England, the N t h
African invasion, Sardinia, Sicily
and Corsica.
He was attached to an Amer
lean fighter group which used
all British equipment, including
Spitfires and Hurricanes, and IS
high in his praise Of the swift
and deadly Spitfires which saved
Britain from the blitz and did
such heroic work in the Medi-
terranean.
After lengthy hospital con-
finement, Haviland received a
medical discharge on Sept. 10,
1914. Unable to do heavy lift
ing work, he has nevertheless
continued his personal war eff
fort" by driving trucks at Sell
fridge Field as a civilian en-
ploye. His search for home to
replace the cramped three-room
apartment tenanted by his fam
lily was rewarded when he en-
countered r. E. (Doc) Howard
