flf NAPLJES, TTALY Compared with some of the strange civilizations of the East, Napleslseemed almost like home. Almost but not quite! Those who saw Naples during the BARTON's 1950-1951 Cruise noted many evidences of improved eco- nomic conditions. Though the city still showed the effects of World War II, a number of new buildings and indus- tries had been erected with the aid of Marshall Plan funds. I More people had jobs and were dressed better than before. Souvenir hunters had a field day. Many of us found the cameos, inlaid wood tables and gift boxes, the Barra gloves and the Borsolino hats irresistible. Naples was a jumping off 'point for the delightful tours to Rome, Pompeii and Sorrento. Nearly everyone took ad- vantage of at least one of these tours during our five-day visit. Some, like T. V. Disanti, R. V. Casella, E. Castro, A. Costanzo, and A. Sorrentino, took the opportunity to visit relatives living nearby.

One of Rome's many beautiful fountains. ROME:THE ETERNAL CITY Many of us who visited Rome will never forget it. It was the high point of the cruise. This book could not begin to describe the magnificence of the city's cathe- drals or the history of the ruins of the ancient capital of the Roman Empire. Sumce it to say, however, that we were deeply impressed by the quantity and quality of religious art and architecture, reminders that centuries of the growth of Christianity have centered in Rome.
