A WORD OF APPRECIATION

On the eve of my departure from
Ocala, returning to my work at camp
general secretary, Army and Navy 4.
NJ. G.. A., Miami camps, after a stay
in Ocala of over two months, desire
to take this opportunity to express
my great pleasure In meeting the de-
lightful people of this district and my
real enjoyment of directing In the
United War Work campaign here.
Even after this brief stay feel en-
tirely at home in your beautiful city,
and regret very much to leave. 1t
has been a pleasure to know the peo-
pie of Ocala, and to have had a part
with them in the celebration of peace
On the first day of the War Work cam
paign. And their celebration was not
only with tin cans and multitude of
other noise making devices, but with
silver dollars and American eagles for
the campaign fund for "our boys over
there" The loyal response OF the peo-
pie of Marion county in the drive, and
the magnificent way in which they
went over the top with handsome
margin, has made the work here
doubly gratifying.
The splendid work done by the
workers in this campaign throughout
the county and the genuine response
the people gave TO their appeals
proves beyond doubt the patriotism
and loyalty of this people. 1t has
been a joy to work with such untir-
ing and efficient committeeman, so
splendidly backed up by the local
press and public at large; and | am
sure that "the boys" will duly appre-
ciate and be greatly benefited by all
that you have done.
With keen appreciation of all the
many courtesies shown me personally
by the good people whom / have beer
privileged TO meet here. and hoping
to have the opportunity of returning
to Ocala again in the near future,
am most sincerely yours,
i r. C. Dobson,
i Campaign Director, 5th Dist. Florida

TO MAKE SURVEY Of
ALL MANUFACTURERS
Government tn Determine What
Plants Not Now Doing War Work
May BE Utilized.

Washington, June 23.-An inmedi-
ate survey of every part OF the United
States Is to be made in order to and
out which industries not now doing
war work may be utilized for that
purpose, also which industries already
engaged on work for the government
are able to take on additional con-
tracts or increase their production of
munitions and war supplies. To do
this the war industries board has es-
tablished a resources and conversion
section, with Charles A. Otis. former
president OF the Cleveland chamber
of commerce and a member of the
board OF directors OF the chamber OF
commerce of the United States. as
chief.
The country has been divided into
twenty regional groups, each OF which
will be organized drought Its com
mercial associations. One organiza-
ton in each region has been selected
to take the initiative in bringing about
a definite organization. The com
mercial body chosen to do this pre-
liminary work Will communicate with
every other business organization in
its region and with the industries not
represented in such associations and
arrange for a general meeting At
which plans OF organization will be
perfected. When that Is done, 1t Is
expected that one man will be named
in each region TO act as the direct
representative of Mr.. Otis in handling
business between the region and the
resources and conversion section,
Every type OF industry. whether
represented in commercial organiza
lions or not, will be asked to cooper
ate The regional system is intended
TO supplement the work of the ma
tional war service committees OF the
industries. some of which are already
effectively cooperating with the gov
eminent, while others are in process
of formation. Many Industries are not
so organized as to permit representa-
ton by a national war service com
mittee. BY the regional system II is
proposed to look after the require
ments of these scattered industries
and provide a means by which greater
impetus can be given to increasing
production in every section of the
country. II Is believed that this will
result in great measure in prevent
