Owing to the fact that ships are continually on the move, and are widely scattered, the problem of fun distribution is enormous. It is ond thing to be able to arrange a pro- gramme for a cinema show in Bir- mingham and another thing to ar- range for a programme on board H.M.S. Birmingham, which may be at Singapore one week and at Tsing- tau, 4,000 miles away, the following week.

To overcome these problems it has (been necessary to establish .01m "libraries" at various points, through- out the world and to divide the Navy into four "circuits,"
