group SOlCltatlOn SecClOn OF Lne speak
erS' unit.
w. w. Wheeler, chairman, has called
a meeting of the section for tomorrow
night at $50 O'Clock in the Annapolis
Hotel. Among those who will appear
in an advisory capacity will be Lloyd B
| Wilson, chairman of the group soloci-
tation unit; Elwood Street, Chest direc-
tor; Joseph D. kaufman, chairman Of
the speakers unit, and Miss B. Gertrude
Taft, secretary.
The gathering will be in the nature
Of an instruction meeting Included
will be two model talks, after which
speeches for the various groups may be
patterned. A plan has been worked out
under which speeches for the group
solicitation unit will be arranged with
out imposing special burden on the
speakers bureau for assignments.
I'VE thought this was necessary" Mr.
Wheeler said, because we are planning
to place speakers in 635 establishments
which means that we will handle almost
half of the entire number of speeches
made during the campaign. 1t woulc
be manifestly unfair to impose burden
of this kind upon the small staff of the
speakers bureau, although we have
called upon the bureau for cooperation
in the selection of speakers, which has
been cheerfully given.
Speeches to Be Over January "a.
There has been a chairman ap
pointed for each of the six divisions
and a speaker assigned to each section
of each division. These speakers have
already agreed to address each con
Germ in their particular sections.
Speaking dates will be arranged b,
the soliciting section chief when III
first visits the various organizations
Under this plan each section chief ha'
only one speaker to book and eacf
speaker has only one person to whom
he looks for bookings. Furthermore
the geographical arrangement of thu
unit will make it more convenient fol
the speakers because all of their talk!
will be made in the same neighborhood
so far as possible all talks will b.
booked for delivery some time during
the week beginning January 18 and il
is expected that the entire speaking
program will be completed prior to the
opening of the solicitation campaign
on January "a.
Reserve speakers will be available
at all times and on immediate notice
so that If for any reason speaker i
unable to meet an engagement hi
place can be filled. If the plan /!
fully carried out every group of en-
ployes in the Group Solicitation Uni
will be given the privilege Of hearing {
Community Chest speaker, provided
that it meets with the wishes of thetl
employers"
