Dick Cantina is the name, l2 April, l953, and the place was lnchon Harbor. Dick and the other members of the Special Services Company came aboard to entertain the pa- tients. lt was one of the outstanding USO' shows of the cruise.

TheY were part of the troop with Debbie Reynolds, Walter Pidgeon, Carolina Cotten, These per- sonalities voluntarily spent their Christmas away from homeg to brighten the Christmas season for men who were forced to be nearly 6000 miles from home. Looks like they held field day in the engine room and went ashore. Enioying Bad Health Following her USO show aboard AH-IS, Debbie Reynolds raises the blood pressure of one of the ship'5 company. Celebrity's personal visits with the sick and wounded aided the morale of men as much as the medical care helped them physically. Round - Up Time George Zissis, Ship's Company, lends air to the singing interlude of the USO 2l2 show. The 212 show was one of the many fine shows presented to the patients and crew while the ship was in Korea. 1 A l l l l
