Evmmuu Ty kelalivns Th r hanage, Villaggio Del Fanciullo, in Naples, Italy, was surprised one afternoon in early October by e o p several BIG Cl-llK sailors carrying two swing sets. The swing sets were presented and erected by several crewmen, The youngsters' reaction was that of warmth and happiness as the finishing toucheshto the swing set were made. At l.'Ospizio Marina lOld Sailors lnlomej in Naples, three days of scrapping. plastering, and painting by ten Cl-IIKASKIA sailors, proved to the elderly men that Cl-IIKASKIA sailors knew what they were doing when it comes to remodeling. The result of the efforts put forth was two beautifully painted entrance halls in the 600 year old building. There was a simpatilo feeling between the workers and residents, both had the common bond of men who go to sea. Again, smilescrumbled the language barrier, letting us know it was a job well done. The early part of Novemberfound Captain l-lughes and the officers of Cl-llKASKlA, entertaining a dozen guests for an informal luncheon in Valetta. Malta. The guests included: Mr. J. Martinelli, CActing Airport Managerjg Captain and Mrs. Godon Miceli, Secretary to Parsons investments LTDQ Mr. and Mrs. Franco Masini, Adver- tising Manager Simmonda, Parson. Ciskg The Honorable Dr. and Mrs. G. Camilleri, Member of the Maltese Parliament. Delicious food and enjoyable conversation combined to make a pleasant atmosphere for a wonder- ful afternoon. b One sunny afternoon during thet last week of December, the Captain's gig pulled up to the accommodation ladder, and eight local children scampered onto the CHIKASKIA. The children were on their way for a tour of Cl-llKASKlA and a Christmas party on the mess decks. Toys, games, and refreshments filled the afternoon hours for CHlKASKlA's young guests. Waves and smiles were the goodbyes for that afternoon. ni ' W l QW A-f .t Luncheon at Malta. Christmas party at Ville si
