Playing the leading role in the growing rehousing movement is the federal government, through the United States Housing authority, thanks to the $800,000,000 that congress dropped in its lap to lend to local communities Although a sizeable part of this pile of dollars has gone into cleaning up the blighted areas of big cities, an Increasing share has been pouring into small cities and towns during the past 12 And local citizens are stepping up to shoulder some of the load in many towns. In Vincennes, Ind , for instance, a group of 25 leading men and women, joined as the Vincennes Emergency Relief committee, decided that something had to be done about a squatter settlement of nondescript hovels that stood along the river bank Known as Pearl City because the inhabitants depended on mussel fishing for a livelihood, and sometimes found valuable pearls, the settlement had stood for 30 years as an eyesore, and a menace to health. The Vincennes group arranged for the demolition of Pearl City, and erected Sunset Court for the families. Here are 20 houses, arranged in a quadrangle, with a four-acr- e court in the center; 14 are houses, and the other six are three-roohouses. Every home has a small porch, facing the center court, to 15 months About 80 communities of less than 50,000 population a drilled well, a coal shed and chickhave already benefited by the USHA en house, and modern sanitary unit. program.
