C., FRIDAY, NOV. 27, 1942 LOOK FOR A VISIT FROM YOUR BLOCK, NEIGHBORHOOD LEADER Quietly, during the last few weeks, the Citizens Service Corps has been organized to strengthen the Home Front by coordinating war effort. One of its major acti vities is the dissemination of in 'fr.rmation through Block and Neighborhood Leaders. You’ll be hearing more about this phase of Civilian Defense and you’ll want to know your Block Leader well. Welcome him or her, and not only listen but ask ques tions. The Leader will answer on the spot if possible. If the an swer isn’t known to the Leader, the question will be passed along to those who can answer it, and the Leader will return for another visit when the answer is received. The Block Leaders serve in ur ban areas, and as the name im a leader has a block or its ^Pvalent for his or her territory. Towns are divided into zones and sectors, the plan being similar to that along which air raid protec tion is organized by the protec tive branch of Civilian Defense. Your Block Leader is a Volun teer, giving time and effort to the war effort. The Neighborhood Leader is al so a Volunteer, visiting homes in rural areas. Neighborhood Lead ers are organized under County Agriculture Committees and are cooperating with Civilian Defense in the “Share-the-Meat” cam paign. Mrs. C. P. Rogers, director of the Citizens Service Corps, an nounces that Block and Neighbor hood Leaders will visit every household in the county during the week of November 30th, with in formation about the voluntary meat rationing program and sug gestions for using substitutes without sacrificing nutritional value. More than 60,000 Block and Neighborhood Leaders are engaged in this campaign in North Caro lina. They are carrying out the largest single task assigned to the recently organized Citizens Service Corps, and the first assignment of the Civilian Defense Block Plan organization. In Polk County alone, there will be approximately 108 Neighbor hood Leaders and 45 Block Lead ers engaged in this campaign, the local director stated. The reason for the visits of the Block and Neighborhood Leaders is to explain it in greater detail and also give to each househood a pamphlet of recipes suggested by the Government for using meat substitutes. The general program is under the direction of the State Nutri tion Committee of Civilian De fense, of which the local commit tee is headed by Miss Gladys Ham rick. The Block Leader chief in Tryon vicinity is Mrs. F. P. Ba con, Mrs. L. L. Clippard in Salu da, Mrs. Joe Wilson in Columbus and Miss Helen Stearns will con tact such areas as are not reach ed by the County Neighborhood Leaders.
