On March 13, 1952, Ted Hill (far left), representing the Citizen's Armed Forces Committee, accepted an armful of magazines and paperback books from George W. Cairns, chairman of the Moose's Lodge Boy Scout Committee. The scout master for Moose troop 435 and over twenty of the troop's members, most in uniform, watched from behind the third stack of magazines donated by the troop to the U.S. forces stationed in Korea. The servicemen were short of reading material, particularly men's magazines, comic books and paperbacks. Each fire station in Tacoma was accepting donations. (TNT, 3/23/1952, p.A-4)
