remarkable ingenuity.
Electric organs, hymn books, and altar appointments were regular equipment for standard chapels. Many other articles could be purchased by or for individual chaplains. In 1940 a fund amounting to about $40 a chaplain was appropriated for the purchase of equipment or supplies. Known at first as the Chief of Chaplains' Religious Fund, it was renamed the Chaplains' Activities Fund in 1943. Two years later the former name was given to a fund composed of unexpended balances from the religious funds of disbanded organizations. Unit chaplain's funds were abolished in 1944 and religious funds were substituted. The objects for which these could be used were more narrowly limited, but it was provided that chaplains might supply some of MEMORIAL PLAQUE their needs through central post funds.
