The International Game Fish Association announced that its program to provide recreational fishing kits for service members has been officially authorized by the War Department. This formal endorsement marks a boost to morale efforts and outreach to armed forces personnel.
Kits funded by sportsmen totaling over 60000 dollars reach 31909 kits already given to the Red Cross for distribution to service men abroad. Each kit contains a pocket tackle, spoon, feather jig, extra hooks and sinkers, a spearhead for any shaft, and a dip to avoid minnows.
