flereoe another success story of a person-to-person canvas3:

In the Wahoo (Nebraska) ordnance plant of the National Gypsum Companyo employee participation in the Payroll Savings Plan was a very low 1.73/o.

In September of last year,with the whole.hearted encouragement of top management, the 3,000 employees of Gypsum's Ordnance Plant organized to conduct a person-to-person canvass to put a Payroll Savings Application Blank in the hands of every employee.

90/o of. the employees signed up in the opening days of the campaign. By September l2th, employee participation vtaa 93.7/o. On October 2nd, participation was almost 97/o-and still going up.

To quote from National Gypsumos printed report of the Payroll Savings campaign:

"Did we use fancy charts! Did we use advertisements? Did we have long-winded meetings. Did we give prizes for production? The answer is No! Wb put the proposition squarely to the people, and we reported to the people once a week in bulletin form to let them know where they stood in relation to other departments as well as to the plant total. Once the spirit of competition and teamwork caught fireo once it became a matter of personal pride; a successful conclusion was only a matter of time and efiort.'o

Justifiably proud of its sponsorship of the Payroll Savings Plan and the97/o enrollment of its employees, National Gypsum Company prepared a very interesting folder, "Bombs and Bonds for National Defense. The Savings Bond Program of the National Gypeum Company." Savings Bond Division, IJ. S. Treasury De. partment, Suite 700, Washington Building, Washingtono D.C.o will be glad to send you a copy.
