Congratulations and many thanks for the splendid reports coming
in on the new plegdges to the Friendship Club. Already some
departments have reported 100% participation on the schedules
suggested. This shows a fine attitude and fine executive ability
by the heads of these successful departments and their employees.

In every instance where the department head has set the example
and personally presented the program to his employees, the

results have been outstanding. This is a challenge that cannot be
delegated,

Reports of successful departments indicate that the department
heads and their top salaried employees first met and got behind

the program, After that, it was not difficult to get other employees

to follow the good example set,

Special recognition is due the following departments:

Comptroller Personnel

Fire Police

General Court Purchasing
Municipal Auditorium Traffic Engineering

I feel certain that all of the other departments will make equally
fine reports when they have completed their solicitations. Every-
body wants to carry his share, so let's get the job done by
November lst if possible. If more time is needed, however,

delay your report. It is more important to achieve success in
this effort than it is to meet a deadline,

Sincerely,

Ivan Allen, Jr.
