Kenney (population 483) situated in DeWitt County in rural central Illinois was the first community in the country to participate in the V-Home campaign one hundred percent. It achieved this honor in November 1942 and was the focus of state and national attention.""The Washington Office of Civilian Defense sent informational packets to state and local councils to help them in implementing the V-Home campaign. Selections from one of those packets are as follow." "It must be remembered that inspection of all homes and property will be subject tothe consent of the owner or occupant. The V HOME inspection is notcompulsory. The inspecting warden is not an inquisitive meddler.""The enemy may be off our coast in a submarine. He may be in a long-distancebomber with charts of our target areas. He may be among us as a saboteur and arumor-monger. He is in every town and every home in American, disguised aswaste, inefficiency, disunity, insecurity, ill-health, plotting to weaken the homefront and thereby to weaken also the production front and the fighting front - to decrease the total striking power of this Nation." -cyberdriveillinois.com Please read the full disclaimer below before purchasing.
