From New Deal minds, notably that of Assistant FERAdministrator Lawrence Westbrook, there shortly sprang full-blown a scheme for transplanting Depression-broken Northwestern farm families wholesale to fertile Matanuska Valley. At a stroke the Government would wipe out all their pasts of failure and despair, give them everything they needed for a clean new start in life...
