BLUE EAGLE SEALS
ARE WITHOUT COST
Recovery Committee States
All Attempted Sales Are
Fraud.

1t does not cost single cent to be-
come an N R. A. consumer and dis
play the Blue Eagle on your home
windows.
And if anybody attempts to sell yor
Q Blue Eagle sticker with the claim
that the transaction is part of the OH.
cial campaign, he is fraud.
This was made very plain at the
District of Columbia National Recovery
Committee headquarters in the BOARD
CT Trade Offices in The Star Building
today. One Washington housewife in
the 1900 block OF Belmont street, an
xious TO do her part in promoting the
interests Of the N. R. A. campaign
bought a Blue Eagle sticker for dol
lar, it was reported to headquarters.
The local NJ R. A. officials said to-
day they would not undertake to IN
vestigate this one instance of the sale
of Blue Eagle insignia, believing that
a warning and restatement OF the
campaigns projects to be Sufhclent
Further violations, however should be
reported at once and they will be run
down in an effort to apprehend IN
dividuals who seek to make racket
out of the recovery Drive.
How Campaign Operates.
Actually. the campaign operates this
way, the officers reiterated:
A worker from the local commlttee
identified by an official N. r. A. put
ton. calls at residence and invites
the housewile-or husband-to sign
dPtPvmlnd-
ton to deal only with merchants who
are members of the N. r. A. The pledge
card is retained by the worker who IN
turn gives the household its official Blue
Eagle consumer sticker. No charges OF
dues or fees of any sort figure in the
transaction then or at any other time
While thousands of Washington
households obviously are signed up as
Blue Eagle consumers, there are mo
figures available to illustrate the prog
ress of the campaign. Only random
oral reports have been made by the
women who are busy throughout the
CITY. and these, Mrs. Gratan Kerans
chairman of publicity for the dr1Ve'
said, do not warrant estimates.
Actual reports on the number OF
households covered will be MADE, now
ever, at a meeting Of the womens or
ganizat ton leaders at the headquarters
at IL O'Clock next Thursday morning,
one week from today.
