Scope and Content Note

This series contains correspondence, bulletins, newsletters, and posters sent to the War Council's Executive Secretary reporting on activities of agencies involved in war work and local war councils. The reports vary in nature: some are comprehensive and span all the war years; others are skimpy and may cover only one event or program. For most groups reporting, organizational and financial issues are detailed, and sample forms and published materials are provided.

Many organizations are represented in this series, including: Emergency Food Commission; Nursing Council; Office of Civilian Mobilization; Office of Civilian Protection; and Salvage Division.

Topics discussed include: civil defense; child care; housing; labor; rationing; salvage; and education and training.
