RECEPTION COMMITTEE A reception committee usually of from six to ten members should receive the visitors at the train. It is desirable to have four members on hand, usually from ten to twelve o’clock, and six members from two to five o’clock to welcome delegations, distribute literature, give information, and explain exhibits. The committee will be given a list of expected delegations so that their leaders may be known and introduced to the train staff. The committee will find that the train offers an excellent opportunity to tell visitors of local activities for food conservation and to invite their co-operation. It will be well to have the whole reception committee at the train a few minutes before its first opening at ten o’clock so that they may become familiar with exhibits and have time for a brief conference with members of the staff. COMMITTEE ON NEWSPAPERS The advance agent will bring with him material for the local paper, to which will be added the names of committee members and of persons who are helping the committee. Other material that should be of interest to the local papers includes: 1. A list of special delegations from lodges, churches, business groups, and others that will visit the train. 2. Accounts of talks given by Four Minute Men and others about the food train and food conservation. 3. An account of the work that is being done for food conservation by the local committee. =Editorials.= Editors may be glad to take advantage of the presence of the train as an occasion for an editorial on some local aspect of the food situation, as encouraging the use of home products, regarding the food hoarders, and so forth. =Out-of-Town Papers.= The newspapers in the territory adjacent to your town will carry some news of its coming. In addition to news sent to those editors from state headquarters they will be interested in your local plans and the names of your workers. ADVERTISING COMMITTEE One of these assignments could be given to each of several members of a committee. The more workers there are the more enthusiasm there will be. =Posters.= There are probably several persons who would gladly make posters announcing the train if they were asked. Give them the facts and let them work out their own ideas. Have these posters shown in store windows and in public buildings. See that all posters sent from the Philadelphia office are placed where they will do the most good. =Window Displays.= Invite merchants to have window displays on food conservation and help them with ideas. The sheets issued by the Retail Store Section of the Food Administration contain pictures of windows that are easy to copy. Be sure that the window display contains an announcement of the food train.
