THE ORGANIZATION OF ARIZONA STATE COUNCIL OF DEFENSE [pages 12-16]

On April 12th, 1917, at the request of the National Government, Governor of Arizona Thomas E. Campbell issued the following call to a selected list of men in all lines of activity within the State to meet at the State House on the morning of April 18th for the purpose of organizing a State Council of Defense for Arizona and to proceed to work out the best possible method for the safety and comfort of the people of the State during the period of the war with Germany:

April 12, 1917.
Dear Sir:

I have the honor this day to appoint you as a member of The Arizona Council of Defense and you are respectfully urged to be present at a meeting at this office, Wednesday, April 18th, 1917, to perfect the organization of the same.

A working plan for the protection of the people and industries of Arizona is made necessary by the critical situation brought about by the war with Germany. It is imperative that such action be taken in the most intelligent and expeditious manner and this can be done only through such a Council working as a State unit.

Among the wider objects and measures of Defense for your consideration are:

The protection of Arizona's industries, especially those upon which the State and National governments must rely for the safety and comfort of the people;

To extend the production of food stuffs and secure the best possible use and productivity of private and State lands for the benefit of man and beast;

Sale, distribution and consumption of food products;
Proper safeguarding of health and sanitation;
Provision of adequate transportation facilities by rail and motor;
Relief of families in want by reason of enlistments;
Organization and equipment of home guards throughout the State;
Employment for those unable to enlist;

Considerable research is entailed and this work will devolve upon committees to be appointed by your Council. Many other suggestions will occur to you which will be of incalculable benefit, if this opportunity be grasped immediately and effectively.

The service before you is no less patriotic than service in the ranks and I feel that I am taking no undue liberty in urging you earnestly to accept the same. There is no provision for the payment of expenses of members, which must be borne by themselves. You will appoint a finance committee to procure funds for the efficient maintenance of your headquarters and bureaus.

Your acceptance by wire will facilitate matters and greatly lessen the burden of this office. May I count on you?
Sincerely, THOMAS E. CAMPBELL, Governor of Arizona.

COUNTY COUNCILS ORGANIZED UNDER THE FIRST STATE COUNCIL [pages 26-30

In addition to these officers a number of honorary members were added to the State Committee representing the various organizations of women in the State. The function of the Women Committee was partly to act as a clearing house for all war activities, enabling various organizations to co-operate more effectively with each other. Its work was also to reinforce the work of other distinct branches of service. For instance propaganda was carried on to make public opinion which would secure the employing of public health nurses, although the nurse was employed by the local school board or through the efforts of the local Parent-Teachers' Association. The number of these nurses has increased in the State in three years from one to fifteen. The same work was done in regard to creating sentiment in favor of employing county food demonstration agents, the number in the State during the past year being greatly increased. Space forbids mentioning all the activities of the Woman's Committee but among the most noteworthy was the carrying on of food drives in several localities. The food drive in Maricopa County covered nearly a hundred centers where courses in the teaching of food conservation were given by domestic science teachers and volunteer workers in churches, school houses, club houses and in one instance in connection with the Chatauqua.

Child welfare work was developed extensively over the State, a number of successful child welfare clinics were held and local committees organized which will be permanent centers for child welfare work for the State. The development of Americanization work was initiated and carried on by the Woman's Committee. This has resulted in the opening of night schools for the teaching of English in twenty-five towns in the State in which nearly 2000 students are enrolled. Local Americanization committees are active in many localities and organized for permanent work. A strong State Committee with representative members from many organizations is a permanent result of the work of this department. The drive for nurses conducted under the Registration Department was one of the notable achievements of the Woman's Committee. Registration committees were appointed in all the counties and nurses enrolled from all parts of the State.

County Councils of Defense were formed in each county as co-ordinating branches of the State Council. These organizations quickly developed into vital and important units in the Council of Defense machinery as through them direct contact with the people in each county was maintained and the various war programs of the National Government, educational propoganda and other information was promptly and easily brought to the attention of every man, woman and child in the State.
