CAGLIARI. SARDINIA Pizza-pie, spaghetti, red wine — These awaited us as we anchored in the bay of Cagliari. A main port on the southwestern shore of the island of Sordino, it is a typical small Italian town. Our visit preceded the notional elections and political posters were to be seen everywhere, whole sides of buildings, telegraph poles, even painted on the sidewalks. Recreational facili- ties in town were very limited, but a ball park was provided and ball games seemed the order of the day. Fishing seemed to be the main occupation of the populace. Everywhere one found beau- tiful cathedrals and ruins of the Roman Empire. Also located there was one of the Italian Naval bases.

Our first port — after leoving the states — was not the most desirable one but after our journey across was a welcome re- lief. Oron, chief port of western Algeria, and the neorby port of Mers-el- Kebir were important during the African cam- paign of World Wor II, serving as advanced bases Chiefly French and Aro- bion, the French are in the majority although there is strong Arobian influence throughout the section. Not far from Oron is Sidlbel-Abbes, famed home of the French For- eign Legion. A tour by port of the ship ' s com- pony was thoroughly en- joyed and something t o be remembered. Street urchins were plentiful and losing one ' s watch, wal- let or pen was not un- common, taking place in the daytime as well as at night. aK '
