Marines fighting at some South Pacific outpost will soon receive 10,000 Baby Ruth candy bars. Otto Schnering, founder and president of Curtiss Candy Company, was so impressed with a jungle outpost scene in the "Pacific Theater" exhibition at Chicago's Navy Pier which showed some of the hardships the Leathernecks overseas are undergoing that he donated the candy, saying: "I wish it were possible for me to send every Marine in actual jungle outposts something that might relieve his hardship, or atleast contribute to his comfort and pleasure. Ofcourse this is impossible; however, i would be very grateful if you will arrange to have this donation conveyed to a real jungle outpost of the Marine Corps as typified by your vivid exhibit." Representing Mr. Schnering, William C. Moller (left), treasurer of Curtiss Candy Company, presented the candy to Lt. Col. G. McGuire Pierce (center), commanding officer of the Marine Provisional Battalion. (AP Photo)
