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.
