THE PROCEDURE OF INFORMING THE WORKERS CONCERNING THE VARIOUS ACTIVITIES In its practical operation, Strength through Joy is exceedingly simple, The Gau office publishes each month, and puts on sale for either 5 or l0 pfennigs, a program of the attractions offered, listed under the section in charge of each form of activity, such as sport, leisure time, travel, etc. These programs in each case are drawn up with special reference to the financial capacity of the population of the Gau and their general preferences, personal tastes and inclinations. In vacation matters an inland or mountain Gau, for instance, would put particular emphasis upon sea voyages, while the populations of an agricultural, flat country might wish to make excursions to big cities or to the mountains. Moreover, special kinds of lectures which would prove suitable for city workers would hold no attraction for country people. Incidentally, considerable variety may be noted in the format of the various programs, those drawn up for provincial regions assuming the aspect of a kind of magazine in which skits and elementary political propaganda are interpolated, while those distributed for the more sophisticated city dwellers are much more businesslike and are restricted to the lists of attractions offered. |
