SUBJECT Workers! Training Manual ARC*1132 and
Workers' Training Outline MA-4200

Successful organizations have found it desirable to employ the best
talent available to assist in the training of their representatives. The Red
Po Cross, realizing the need by chapter War Fund leaders for a guide to assist them
in better preparing their volunteers who solicit funds and memberships, has pre-e
pared these two Worker's Training Manuals for their use.

Copi.s of the Workers' Training Manuals (ARC-1132 and MA+4200) are
enclosed herewith. ARC-1132 has been prepared for use in training city workers.
MA=4200 has been prepared for use in conducting workers’ training meetings in
rural and small communities.

These manuals suggest plans and techniques which may be used by chairmen,
division chairmen, and other leaders in informing, training, and guiding their
volunteer solicitors. They are not meant for distribution to workers. These three
main points are emphasized:

1. General scope of Red Cross work.
e. Facts about the campaign.
3. Plan and technique of solicitation.

Because of the shortage in available manpower this year, it is more
essential now than ever before that a well-trained group of workers take the field
at the opening of the Campaign, We suggest that you give immediate attention to
the organization of classes for the workers in all divisions, and that the Workers'
Training Manuals be used as the basis for providing adequate instructions to all
Zroups.

There is enclosed a self-addressed postcard for use In ordering the
additional number of these manuals your chapter will need in conducting your
Workers! Training Meetings. ‘The supply is limited. However, we will éndeavor

_ to fill chapters! requests as rapidly as received.

Very truly yours,
