Veterans’ Alaska Co-Op.
Corporation Formed
Headquarters Alaskan Depart
ment—What was described as “a
strange meeting” recently took
place in the Caucus Room of the
House of Representatives in Wash
ington, D. C., an Army News Serv
ice dispatch stated today.
It was the organizational meet
ing of a group of veterans, to be
known as the “Veterans’ Alaska
Co-Operative Corporation,” whose
ambition it is to settle in the Ter
ritory and to make their pioneer
ing less strenuous by pooling of
funds, talents and knowledge.
This organization, which will be
operated on a non-profit basis, has
opened its rolls to all serious,
healthy, World War II veterans
<or their friends and relatives). Its
primary objectives are:
i To set up a central informa
tion service with a co-op repre
sentative in Alaska to answer spe
cific questions of prospective set
tlers.
2. To purchase outright, or
contract, for land, sea and air
transportation for moving the
members, family and equipment
to Alaska and providing year
round low-cost service within and
outside the Territory. ^
3. To set up a housing program,
using Seabee construction meth
ods in erecting “engineered-for
Alaska” homes and purchasing
surplus barracks or quonset huts
as temporary quarters for new ar
rivals.
4. To reduce living costs through
producer-consumer buying and
marketing.
5. To set up an employment
and placement service that will
practically blanket the Territory.
6. To establish a mutual bank
to serve settlers’ financial needs
at lower interest rates than now
prevail in the Territory and guar
antee full participation in credit *
benefits of the G. I. Bill of Rights.
