First Aid Promotes Good Will By JIM MVHERS News-Tribune Staff Writer ABOARD THE USS FOR- REST ROYAL— The navy has won a bit of international good will. At least one Canadian six yeai old girl is thankful the ship was at the right place at the right time. The girl suffered a deep gash in her left knee while she was watching the Royal tie up at the entrance to the Welland canal She had fallen against tile tail- light of a parked car. She was taken aboard the Royal on orders of Cmdr. John J. Creamer, and given first aid. Treating her was Arthur (Doc) Hagopian, chief pharma- cists mate. He bandaged the two inch long cut, which went as deep as the bone, and put a splint on her leg to prevent fur- ther injury. The girl then was taken to a hospital for surgical treatment. The sequel to the above story is shown in pictures. Two months later, on the downward trip through the Welland Canal, the ROYAL was very surprised when the parents of the little girl greeted us with a gift of two baskets of peaches for the crew. It was a most thoughtful gesture that required long hours of waiting at the lock, due to the ship ' s uncertain schedule. The kindness of this act will be long remembered and the peaches were enjoyed by all. J 4

Le L A U The city that put the world on wheels is an exciting place to visit. Fifth largest city in the U. S., oldest continuous settlement in the Midwest. This was the ROYAL ' S first liberty port and where we started our job of showing the Navy to the people. However, the people had different plans--to show the Navy the Midwest. Vs ' e had our first taste of the wonderful hospitality ex- tended throughout the cruise. A day ' s schedule would read like this: tours to all points of interest, free ball games, free movies, dances, beer parties, cocktail parties and an abundance of girls for the single sailors. In spite of these obstacles we managed to accomplish the job and thousands of visitors boarded the ROYAL for their first look at the Navy. We were well prepared but the initial surge was quite a shock, a line over a block long just waiting to board. v ' e quickly folded our pamphlets and thoroughly enjoyed the job of big time host. Detroit in sight. Waterfront view. 25
