For the activists taking part in this venture, Komsomolskoye znamia has even provided a special form that can be clipped from the newspaper. The form is intended to be used for the identification of enterprises and institutions where violations of labor and production discipline have oc­ curred, and it includes a space in which individuals guilty of such infractions can be registered by name. The form also asks that the reasons for the violations be explained, as well as the measures taken to correct them and the resulting conservation of labor and material resources.
