Story of a Ship booklet boosts national park chat
Charleston Park commission praised for publishing a civic cooperation booklet, The Story of a Ship, last spring. Recreation Director Betty Heavener received a letter from Howard Braucher, head of the National Playground Association, noting strong interest from other cities and requesting additional copies. Braucher praised the illustrated booklet as a nonpartisan example of creating recreational facilities where none existed, predicting wider support. The project was funded by an anonymous donor believing it would benefit playground movement more than equipment.

The Desert Warfare Board devised Field Ration K to sustain American troops in Africa, including boxed meals, coffee, bouillon, lemon juice powder, malted milk tablets, biscuits, chocolate, and gum. Soldiers learn to drink fortified water via iodine treatment, but prefer lemonade. The piece urges investing 10 percent of income in War Bonds and promotes a $3 to $4 return after ten years.
