Bundles for B|ueiacke+s
Started by Ho||ywoodi+es
BY DAMON RUNYON

7 OS An e l. + S, Feb 8
II Bundles for Blueiackets"
is the title Of splendid war
enterprise among the ladies out
here that will prob b y be
nationally cmulatcd before long,
especially in coastal commune
ties.
lis efforts are somewhat SINH
lar to those of the Salvation
Army during World War |. OF
all the organizations that pur-
ported 10 do something for the
service men in that war. the
Salvation A rmy remains the
fondcSt memory Of the veteran
1t was always on the Job. always
functioning practically and with
mono of the commotion and pub
LEFTY that characterized other
war work outfits.
Bundles for Blueiackets" sup
plies the navy men of the Los
Angeles Harhor area with re-
freshmentS as they come and go
on their various tasks at night.
Bundles" gives out coffee and
cocoa and doughnuts and ciga-
rets. and the sailors. who are
right now about the hardest
worked men in the L n ted
States. express themselves as
most grateful.
With all due respect TO the
California climate, IT gets pretty
cold out on the waters q nights.
and a good slug Of hot Java
cheers a chilled sailor no little.
Incidentally, Bundles is the
first movement we ever heard OF
that has special reference 10 the
sailors. the soldiers usually get
most of this sort Of attention.
YOU might think that tho
i United States government
with all the billions II Is APP
proprlatlng for defense would
make provision for the very
thing that Bundles is doing.
but il seems that the govern
ment takes little account of
creature comforts for its men
over and above the old routine.
The lads have 10 pay for any
extras out of their own pockets
and often even then the extras
are not available, especially in
time Of war.
Thus. such work as Bundles
is doing is highly necessary and
il has the additional value Of
producing personal contacts and
interest in the service men
among the civilians.
Bundles for BluejaCketS' is
the idea Of Mrs Daryl Zanuck,

OUR own situation in Detroit is far less trying in
