=Restaurants and Hotels.= Managers and cooks of hotels and restaurants
should come in a body at a special hour so that information and answers
to questions of special interest to them can be arranged.
=Food Sellers.= There are exhibits of special interest to food sellers,
and these persons can be very helpful in passing on information to
their customers. All should be asked to attend in a body if possible.
Can you arrange for the stores to be closed at a certain hour?
=Employes.= Employers might be willing to excuse some of their workers
in stores and factories, especially if they are near the train, for a
brief visit. If a factory delegation can be arranged for at the noon
hour a special session may be arranged for them.
=Clubs.= All fraternal orders, civic, social clubs, and labor unions,
should be especially urged to be represented. The men’s organizations
will be especially interested in the war relics and in the maps showing
important facts about food distribution.
COMMITTEE ON CO-OPERATION OF CHURCHES
The Food Conservation Train aims to teach the message of
brotherhood--of sharing our food with those whose need is greater than
ours. All the churches will be glad to help make it a success if you
tell them what to do.
=Announcements.= Ask ministers to have announcement of the train given
at all services during the week before it arrives. Announcement forms
are supplied.
=Delegations.= Invite church societies to send delegations to the
train. Be sure that the women who plan church suppers, bazaars, and
food sales are appointed among delegates. They will receive valuable
suggestions.
It is important that men’s classes and societies send delegates.
=Sermons.= Ask ministers to preach sermons on the Sunday before the
train arrives on our obligation to feed the world from our generous
stores of food. They may obtain helpful information from (insert name
of a food administration bulletin giving general information about
the food situation), of which copies may be had from (name of local
official or committee).
COMMITTEE ON SCHOOLS
School children can be of great assistance in spreading the news of the
train.
=Invitations to Parents.= The teachers may be asked to have the
children write invitations to their parents to visit the train as an
exercise in composition.
=Attendance of School Children.= Groups of older school children
(attending high school) should come with their teachers in squads of
about thirty or forty at fifteen-minute intervals during the morning.
Domestic science classes should come in a body.
Drawing and manual training classes may be asked to study the exhibits
with a view to reproducing them at a later date for the benefit of
parents and friends.
COMMITTEE ON ATTENDANCE OF FOREIGN LANGUAGE GROUPS
Remember those who do not speak English. We particularly wish to reach
them. The following steps are necessary:
