CANNES ENCORE Our second visit to Cannes was our third port of call By this time we were able to understand a few words of the native language and anxiously looked forward to our return Cannes was lively when we left it a month earlier, but nothing like when we came back at the height of the tourist season! To the Frenchmen August 15th is both holiday and holyday — (Memorial Day and the Feast of the Assumption combined). It ' s at this time of year that everyone who is able to take his vacation does so. To us it appeared that not only was everyone in France on vacation but that they all came to Cannes. The streets were as crowded as Times Square on New Year ' s Eve — The beaches worse than Coney Island on the 4th! — Excitement was at its peak! Liberty was never so diversified. Aside from the beaches and night clubs, a Cannes busi- ness group, equivalent to our Chamber of Commerce, sponsored concerts in the park, a flower show, an art exhibit, the International Automobile Show and many water sports, the most outstanding, were the jousting tourna- ment and sailboat races. But alas our ten days flew past and once again we found ourselves leaving Cannes, but we didn ' t mind it too badly for we knew we ' d return for a final time THE TOURIST SEASON NOTE THE BREAKERS AVm.

The expression Hey, Joe, cigarette? that typified the aggressive hounding of some ports visited, was encountered in full, in Palermo. It was rather difficult to overcome this calmly, but the men learned through experience how to tactfully avoid the groups of hounding youngsters and continue on their way to liberty. Sports were the mainstay as far as activities were concerned and the tours were confined to local points of interest. The nearby resort area of Mondello was where the men went swimming for relief from the burning heat of a Sicilian mid-summer. The many churches with beautiful statues, and the Capuchin Monastery with the underground burial Catacombes were the main tour points of interest. Some public buildings and the Four Corners were evidence of past grandeur for its history dates back to 8 B. C. In addition Palermo still shows the scars of World War II. HARBOR WITH MT PELLIGRINO
