The organization of a short term campaign is as follows. The Secretary
or executive ofEcer of the organization is usually the general jn chief. He, to-
gether with the governing board, appoints the committees who have charge of
the different phases of the campaign, both the preliminary work and the actual
securing of members. The usual committees are the Prospect Committee, whose
duty it is to make out a card index system of the citizens whom it is desired
to solicit as members, the Publicity Committee, whose duty it is to have charge
of all publicity; the Organization Committee, whose duty it is to secure work-
ers and to select captains for the teams; the Arrangement Committee, whose
duty it is to make all other preparations such as securing headquarters where a
noon-day luncheon is usually served to the workers by the organization gratis.
The secretary keeps in close touch with the work of these committees and
the directors also give of their time to supervise this work. The Prospe^ct Com-
mittee has printed blank cards containing the following information concerning
the prospect; name, business address, home address, occupation, person or team
to whom prospect is assigned, and remarks. This committee fills out these cards
in duplicate, one for the solicitor while the other is retained in the office files
in order to obtain a complete report upon each and every person.
The Publicity Committee prepares the newspaper stories con<:erning work
of the organization and the need for an increased membership in order to carry
on new and additional development work. This committee also prepares the
other blank forms such as daily envelopes, reports, folders,^ or other special
publicity.
