Karl Kae Knecht Cartoon

Description: A bird U.S.O. Henderson pecks at seeds representing a meager part of one days receipts, which a horse has knocked out of a box representing Dade Parks profits from a 31-day meeting. A second bird Red Cross Canteen/U.S.O. Evansville is angry that there are not enough seeds for the two to share. In a thought bubble above the birds, several birds representing the USO, Red Cross, and other organizations supporting servicemen eat out of full dishes of seeds representing the receipts from football games, baseball games, and racetracks.
