Inconveniences, discomforts and delays are una voidable under these circumstances. No one regrets this more than the railroads. The problem Is par ticularly acute on the Pacific Coast where nine tenths of the returning veterans must make long oumeys to reach their homes.

Hear Suggestions Purpose of the meetina was to get suggestions frnm thnu. present on methods of selection of the successful applicants for the 88 homestpaHc anH tn comment on the selective pro cess usea on me occasion of pre: vious openings. The reclama tion officials said that there is no assurance that any changes will be made in the previous reg ulations, but in view of the fact that there is now a new set of veterans from World War II. and other circumstances may be changed, consideration of pos sible revision is in order. Reclamation officials present indicated their belief that the number of applicants for the 88 homesteads will run into thous ands, probably exceeding any previous Interest in Tulelake land. This is due to the large number of veterans of World War II (the land will be opened with veteran preference). Under present law, veterans of World War II only would be given preference for the home steads, but other legislation Is pending which may extend pre ference to veterans of both wars. Waves, Spars, Wacs and Marine Girls would probably quality a? applicants as well as male vet erans. 7,500 Acres The 88 units will range from 55 to 120 acres in size, the total comprising approximately 7,500 acres. The opening will occur next year or early 1947. Under the old regulations, an applicant is required to have $2,000 unencumbered assets (cash, farm machinery, livestock etc.) There was divided opinion as to whether this requirement should remain the same or be reduced. A Tulelake spokesman said that it takes at least $2,000 to set up a farming business in these times.
