Surplus Property Distribution Aims At Rural Areas
The war board designates disposal agencies to sell or channel surplus property to rural areas, targeting greatest need. Sales go through dealers and distributors rather than individuals, with direct sales allowed to veterans starting businesses. Nursing needs rise, with a projected 50,000 more nurses needed in military and civilian services by mid-1946, most met by Cadet Nurse Corps graduates.

VE Day statements from Claude Wickard and Judge Marvin Jones stress continuing farm production. Surplus property rules promise access to equipment but warn against expectant pricing.
