I am enclosing a booklet entitled, "Suggestions for the Observance of Navy Day for use in your activities, It contains many fine ideas for the celebration of Navy Day and I believe it will prove valuable in the planning of your programs of action. Window displays of war paraphernalia and souveniers have proved very successful in creating interest and it is suggested that this plan be used again this year. Posters and window cards will be sent to you from the Navy League in Washington, D. C. in the near future. I would suggest that you announce to your local paper or papers your appointment as Navy Day County Chairman and furnish them with information concerning your plans for the observance of Navy Day, asking them for their full cooperation. I would appreciate receiving two copies of all publicity appearing in your local papers. As soon as I have acceptances from all the County Chairmen, I will have stationery sent to you for use in this work. Navy Day Leaflets for distribution will also be forwarded to you within a short time.
