Texas Pride Aids Blind WWII Vet Threatened with Eviction

Jim Sanders, a blinded World War II veteran in Houston, faced eviction prompting a local relief drive. A $7,000 home would be built by a contractor with free wiring and plumbing, while OPA halted eviction since the notice dated July 18 fell during the OPA holiday. Houstonians led fundraising, with support from the Disabled American Veterans and local clergy, amid national offers of aid and extendable televised sympathy. Local figures denounced avoidance of outside help and urged community action to secure Sanders’ home.
