needed recreational material
for this ship have been supplied
to several other Chicago manu­
facturers and their announce­
ments are expected as soon as
procurement can be accomp­
lished.
In compliance with war-time
information restrictions, no de­
tails concerning the ship itself,
even her name, are available.
All arrangements were hand­
led through proper Naval offi­
cers. It is anticipated that this
information may be released
for publication after the war.
In announcing the gift, Bal-
ly’s President, Ray Moloney,
stressed the desirability that
the entire industry — manu­
facturers, distributors a n d
operators — join immediately
in raising an “Adopt a Fight­
ing Ship” Fund to furnish simi­
lar recreational material for as
many more of our new ships as
we can.
He suggested that due to
present war-time conditions,
the coin-machine trade jour­
nals would be the best medium
for putting this over. His pro­
posal is that the publications
unite in sponsoring the drive
and, since Chicago is the nor­
mal trade center, set up a Chi­
cago “Fund Headquarters.” He
feels certain that if the indust­
ry responds in its usual thor­
ough fashion, Bally can ar­
range for proper Navy appli­
cation of the fund collected.
Mr. Moloney reported that
the i d e a developed through
friendship with the Comman­
der of one of the new ships,
who pointed out that although
recreational equipment — as
music, record supplies, athletic
gear, card and checker-type
games — is a valuable morale
builder, it naturally cannot be
provided as basic ship equip­
ment. In moving to supply one
such item for this ship, the
greater idea of an industry­
wide project was born.

He said, The main point is
that here’s a most fitting way
for our industry to do some­
thing extra and directly per­
sonal for some of our boys out
there. Of course, we’re all do­
ing an all-out job now — we
manufacturers in v i t a l war
production and every member
of the distributing - operating
fraternity in every individual
way he can best serve.
“But all these efforts have
concentrated on s t a r k war
needs — so it would be a great
kick to tie right back to our
peace-time livelihood by serv­
ing at least a p a r t of these
fighters’ amusement needs.
“Naturally, the big reward
is in doing something personal
for the boys, now. However, it
ought to be a fine good-will
effect for our post-war indust­
ry, too. After all, one of our
ways of life these boys — and
all of us — are fighting for is
M a n u f a ct u re r s of precision
Illinois a n d Duo Locks — distin­
guished for quality
the right to go on dropping that
nickle to hear a pet juke tune,
to pick a favorite soft drink or
to enjoy the thrill and exasper­
ation of trying to put that ball
in a scoring pocket.
“Knowing the instant, whole­
hearted way this industry does
things, I know we can make
this ‘Adopt a Fighting Ship’
idea a great thing.”
