BECAUSE all work and no play can soon
make the best soldier in the world a
poor one, the Army’s Special Service Divi-
sion—morale builders for our fighting forces
—have prepared a dozen kinds of recreation
kits to provide our troops both here and
abroad with entertainment ranging all the
way from a game of chess to seeing the
latest “oomph” girl on the screen. Kit “F,”
for instance, which is distributed in the
ratio of one to every 300 men, contains,
among other items, chess, checker, par-
cheesi, domino, cribbage, and backgammon
sets; 36 packs of playing cards, a set of
poker chips, and a pair of dice. Kit “J”
carries complete equipment for the show-
ing of sound pictures—including Holly-
wood’s latest releases. Kit “B-1" has a
radio, phonograph, and public-address sys-
tem. Kit “D” packs a dozen musical in-
struments including guitars, violins, har-
monicas, and a baby grand piano. In “E”
kit are all the “props” and grease paint an
amateur theatrical might require, while in
“I” the boys will find complete equipment
with which to put out a mimeographed
newspaper. For the lads who like to “stay
home at night and read,” Special Service
puts out “C” kit—a library of 2,000 books.
