Work to Win Committee, Governor's, 1943 May 3-1945 March 29
Scope and Content Note
Contents of a single scrapbook of newspaper clippings, primarily from the Honolulu Star-Bulletin and Honolulu Advertiser, documenting the governor’s Work to Win campaign. Small document case contains loose articles dislodged from the scrapbook due to glue failure as well as items tucked into the back of the scrapbook without being pasted inside. Oversize box contains original scrapbook with three oversize folders of newspaper advertisements that had also been tucked into the back of the scrapbook. The Work to Win program was established by a group of Hawaii businessmen and Governor Ingram M. Stainback in March of 1943 in order to combat the general shortage of manpower in the territory as well as the problem of absenteeism. The Work to Win Committee used a variety of tactics to encourage workers including radio addresses, outdoor displays, newspaper and magazine publicity, sponsorship of public concerts, encouragement of part-time student work, and rewards for work attendance (largely in the form of pins). Clippings in the scrapbook reflect these efforts.
