SPEAKERS TO BE
HEARD ON O.P.A.
Civic Organizations To Re-
ceive Services of Outstand-
ing Men on Needs
QUESTION-ANSWER BASIS

Charles w. Hardesty, State Di-
rector of OPA, has announced that
plans have been perfected to make
available number of speakers for
appearances before various service
and civic organizations of the state.
1t is suggested that such organiza-
tions as Women's Clubs, the Amer
lean Legion, Rotary Clubs, Kwanis
Clubs, Lions Clubs, Chamber of
Commerce, the Grange, etc., COM
bine to bring the general public to
these meetings. The State Direc-
tor is gratified over the fine cooper
alton given to the OPA Program
by the people of Delaware and be-
lieves that such meetings will tend
to clarity situations about which
there may be some confusion at
present. Six officials will travel as
a unit to each engagement, and
each of the six will be allowed five
minutes, after which the meeting
will be continued on question and
answer basis. In addition to Mr..
Hardesty, the following will speak:
j. G.. Wells, Jr., Price Executive,
Colonel John P. LeFevre, Chief En-
forcement Attorney, j. Francis
Blaine, Rationing Executive, JOS
eph Donald Craven, Area Rent Ri
rector, j. Harvey Burgess, Informa-
ton Executive. Because of the
broad coverage of the OPA Pro-
gram, it has been decided to con-
fine speaking engagements to the
above group so that the entire
matter may be covered in such a
manner that the objectives and
mechanics of the OPA may be bet
ter understood by the public at
large. The first appearance OF the
group will be at a luncheon meet
ing of the Delaware Motor Trades
Association at the Hotel DUPONT
Friday, December 10, 1943. Re-
quests for these speakers should be
addressed to the State Director
They will be accepted in the order
received.
