All activities relating to the war
effort, Mr.. Conner explained, such
as scrap collection, health and nu-

recreation, transportation, housing
and labor supply and training, would

could express their opinions, ask
questions and learn what their COM

war effort.
Such program would not conflict
with the various county civilian
defense councils, Mr.. Conner as
