Purple Heart Veterans Plan
Chicken Farms on Camp Sites

the plan Will be extended to all part.
Of the Nation.
"The co-operatives will provid.
experts who will live at the site ol
the projects and will help and advise
in the raising of the chickens,
said Mr.. Haley. THE veterans vii
do most of the work and will share
in the profits according to how much
they produce. sss- g.
I'VE have arranged market outlet,
for all the chickens we can pro.
duce. The demand virtually is un.
limited"
Mr.. Haley said surplus military
barracks of the temporary type
would be ideal buildings in which te
raise chickens. And officers quarters
would be ideal places in which a
wounded veteran and his family
might live.
Mr. Haley said his order, COM
posed of men who have been award
ed the decoration, has 10000 active
members with "a potential of 800,-
900 as result of World War IL"
The organization sought Gen
Bradley's aid because Mr. Haley saio
he believed a Federal agency would
have a better chance of obtaining
surplus buildings than a veterans
organization. He said the general
asked for a more detailed plan be.
fore giving his decision.
Preferably the first project woulo
be located on Long Island, in Della
ware or in Virginia, Mr.. Haley said
He wants it to be near a large popu.
