record will be exceedingly useful to the local General Committee as
well as the National Advisory Council. Accurate figures on the local
_Better Homes_ Demonstrations will be invaluable in continuing the
_Better Homes_ in America Campaign, and arrangements have been
made for prizes to be given to those Committees submitting the best
reports and records of successful demonstrations.


_Suggestions for the Sub-Committee_


There will be certain general expenses incurred in conducting a
_Better Homes_ Demonstration. These general expenses may range
from $25 to $500 or more, depending upon the size of the committee and
the extensiveness and completeness of the Demonstration.

Some of the items of expense which may be incurred are: insurance of
borrowed property; special advertising in the form of street signs,
window cards and posters; printing; prizes for contests; lecturers,
and, possibly, special forms of entertainment.

In many communities where Demonstrations have been held, the small
contributions necessary have been readily volunteered by the various
organizations, business firms or individuals directly interested in the
financing and furnishing of homes. Contributions may be secured from
bankers, stores, public utilities, real estate dealers, building
material dealers, insurance men, etc. The amounts contributed by the
various interests should be carefully apportioned and only a
sufficient sum collected to pay the actual expenses of the
Demonstration.
