Mrs. Blakeslee, chic blonde

A few weeks later, represen
tatives of 19 leading American
industries met at a luncheon to
launch a "Note From a Neigh
bor" campaign, approved by the
Department of Defense.
It is not a pen pal program
in which strangers write to
strangers but a campaign for
newsy letters from friends,
neighbors and business associ
ates to men they know who are
serving overseas.
'The apathy toward the boys
who are serving overseas has
been terrible," said Mrs. Blakes
lee. "I felt it would do them
a great deal of good if we would
all make them know that what
they are giving is deeply appre
ciated and that they are remem
bered warmly back home."
No committee sponsored the
luncheon. Mrs. Blakeslee ran it
alone. A leading American in'
dustry footed the bill with the
stipulation that its name be
withheld. Mrs. Blakeslee ex
plained the project and read
commendatory messages from R
E. Wilson, secretary of defense,
and Gen. James A. Van Fleet,
retiring as commander of the
U.S. Eighth Army In Korea.
"This flow of spontaneous
friendliness from the folks back
home will add immeasurably to
our morale," said Gen. Van
Fleet.
Methods discussed at the
luncheon for starting the "Note
From a Neighbor" campaign in
cluded points like these:
Prepare a list of the com
pany's overseas personnel for
employes to consult, but do not
circulate it, lest it fall into the
wrong hands.
Put a slip in the pay envelope
or a notice on the bulletin board
telling employes about the pro
gram and informing them that
the list is available.
Give the house organ a story.
