Give loaf of bread day" is the
slogan adopted by the employees of
the Corby Baking Co. in the Chest
campaign, and 1t is bearing fruit,
according to Malcolm Sharpe, section
chief in charge of the territory in
which the company is located.
1.-THE Corby Baking Co. is an out
standing example of the cooperation
and, help being accorded Chest
workers by Washington business
houses" Sharpe said. The employees
have been organized by James B.
Luttes. general manager, George
Braund, sales manager. Donald Bal
linger, production manager, and
Michael Kain, chief clerk. Luttes is
keyr1an and the others are assistants.
Speeches at any hour, speeches at
all hours" is the slogan of the Speak
ers' Bureau Of the Chest this year.
Engagements all over the city have
been filled as. early as am, by ex-
tremely busy business and professional
men and women, including the clergy
and. members of the bar. some of
whom have been so enthusiastic that
they have reached their destinations
before any one had arrived to let
them in.
The earliest appointment to be filled
was meeting at 2 am, at one Of the
night clubs.
Many of these prominent men and
women have abandoned their Office
duties and let their secretaries take
complete charge of the most impor-
tant matters, yet report frequently
to Mrs. Leonard B: Schloss. chairman
of the Speakers Bureau, "just in
case an emergency has arisen and
you need a speaker"
Short notice means nothing to the
capable and energetic women in the
bureau. A hurry call for speaker to
appear in half an hour several miles
from the business center of Washing
ton was filled in Is minutes.
The type of audience, too, is widely
varied. From charwomen to college
alumnae, from street sweepers to
philosophic societies. all have just the
right appeal made to them, because
the speakers are well qualified to
sense the psychology of their hearers.
In the field covered by the "viso-
matte" machine. the new picture
sound device showing activities of the
various agencies IN the Chest, the
same thing holds true. If machines
are available, and there are eight in
service at all times, one is sent, and
one clergyman is so enthusiastic over
his part in the campaign that he is
devoting his entire time to taking the
machine and an operator to the private
schools in his parish and speaking for
the Chest.
= Radio, too, has not been forgotten.
Speakers are giving their time to send
ing messages out in the air. These
appointments, too, are filled from
early in the morning until late at
night.
