The crew of the CLEVELAND mode some new friends when they brought Project Handclasp moteriols to Phuket, Thailand for distribution to the children of Bonkolin School in Pq Tong Beach. The longuoges were different, but smiles con be understood by anyone. Smiles ore what CLEVELAND sailors got when they distributed the supplies of food, books, clothing, medical supplies and toys. School officials were also pleased with the new point job the school got, courtesy of CLEVELAND ' S deck department helpers. What wos the most fun, though, wos showing the Thai children how to ploy with the unfamiliar American toys. There was a lot of running about, laughing and joking around, and more than once o sailor hod to climb onto the roof to retrieve on errant Frisbee.

For Sosebo ' s orphans, the Doikoku-Boshu Orphanage is home . . . o home CLEVELAND soilors made a little brighter, with a little point ond a lot of work and caring. Perhaps it sounds corny to say that the smiles of the children mode the whole visit worthwhile, but these photographs show the genuine enthu- siosm ond affection the children hod for the American sailors and their project. All who participated in the effort came bock grinning, delighted with the charm and energy of the Joponese children. Although there was no skilled interpreter handy, the message was clear . . .

He is the ship! This is the most difficult and demanding assignment in the Navy. There is not an instant during his lour as Commanding Officer that he can escape the grasp of command responsibility. His privileges in view of his obligations are almost ludicrously small, nevertheless Command is the spur which has given the Navy it ' s great leodets. It Is a duty which mast richly deserves the highest, time-honored title of the seafaring world . .

The bond, the plone with the banner overheod, the bug juice, coffee and cookies were all pleosont distractions, but everyone ' s mind was on one thing; thot first sight of the CLEVELAND. The view toward the bridge was frustrotingly blocked by other ships inport; besides, the dockmoster was keeping everyone bock from the pier.
