A knights' parade. A Medieval Banquet The weather was beautiful the entire time we were in Palma. Many crewmembers had their wives flown Over to enjoy the Christmas holidays in this resort town. And, again, tours proved to be a very popular item, One of the most popular was the Medieval Banquet tour in which crewmembers participated in a genuine lousting tournament. The inport period was somewhat disrupted by a bombing incident at the USO in Barcelona, Spain, in which one USS Thorn crewmember was killed. Security was tightened around and onboard the ship, liberty was restricted and the USO in Palma was closed for several days, but the balance of the port visit went without any incidents and was thoroughly enjoyed by crewmembers and their families. The island of Palma seemed also to offer anything a vacationer could desire. A long, sandy shoreline beckoned the sun-worshippers, while the bustling nightclub scene enticed the more adventurous souls. In all, there was something for everyone in Palma. i!f.,fV You're sure this isn't BURGER KING?

l A Helping Hand Community relations projects were also very popular during the Palma inport period, the most obvious being the new record set by sailors and Marines of NASSAU for pints of blood donated to the Spanish Red Cross QCruz Rojaj by a Navy ship in one day. Crewmembers and embarked Marines donated a total of 150 units of blood for use at a time when the need for blood is often critical. - Other community relations projects included two separate Christmas parties for orphans from local orphanages, complete with gifts for each child and the appearance of a Spanish-speaking Santa Claus. At times it became hard to tell who enjoyed the parties more, the children or the crewmembers who were involved. Waiting for a chance to help. 31
