We must be practical. It is essential, perhaps more than ever before, that our citizens express their views so that their elected representatives in the Assembly and the Senate will have a clear course to pursue. Government is responsive to the people and their action will not be futile.” : Among ways suggested for greater citizen participation were through organization activities at the local level; the writing of letters to newspapers, state officials and departments, and legislators, and visits to the Capitol when possible.

Among the advantages of the .program to eligible veterans are two low-cost group home protection life and disability insurance features. The first assures the veteran’s dependents of clear and free title to their property if he dies before the contract is paid off, The second pays monthly installments on the property if the Veteran becomes totally disabled by sickness or injury for over three months. ae A veterans knows before he acquires a farm or home that it has been realiably inspected and approved by the department’s own property appraisers, and its value established. And if his property is sold by condemnation proceedings or in lieu of condemnation, oer is completely destroyed by fire or flood, it is possible for him to obtain a second purchase loan. It is apparent why the default rate is negligible, and why more than 500,000 California veterans have established their eligibility for Cal-Vet benefits, including the right to a loan.
