This will be an open meeting at the War Memorial Coliseum on the outskirts of Fort Wayne. Ind.. for all interested citizens. The purpose of the gathering will be to stimulate interest in the construction of a refugee settlement in Vietnam. Many of the civicand socialminded organizations of the community are cooperating in this project. The money raised in connection with this effort will be used to create a resettlement village for the Vietnamese refugees and reunite their families and establish homes in an environment of safety and security. May 1 also is Law Day and the Fort Wayne Bar Association is participating in this humanitarian endeavor. The idea of this resettlement village was inspired by a group of the IUE members who recently visited Vietnam and saw at first hand the desperate plight of the more than 1 million Vietnamese refugees. From the heart and sympathies of the people of Hoosierland. there has come a great outpouring of contributions to help in the rebuilding of a good life for these people. Climaxing the relief effort will be this program on May Day. Working with the people of Vietnam. Americans will see that these refugee villages have new schools. medical facilities. and tools to operate farms and provide jobs for their economic and social wellbeing. It is a fine example of the humanism of Americans. Moreover. it illustrates the manner in which we have always tried to help our neighbors when they are in need.
