Some of the capital city of Japan e e e ethe music cabarets, the of shops, the theatres, and to see....and At Kamakura, we fin the quiet tree- lined streets, winding about the verdant hil1s....and the Great Buddha nestled in a green niche between two of these hills ....as we first see it, we sta d and gaze.... As we leave Osaka, the dock is lined with flower-bearing courtesans - who come to bid us 'sayonara'. of Yokosuka, we once again fall into the Grand Shima, Komatsu's....and the vibrant in nature....which spells a bit of 'home us take weekend jaunts to Tokyo an visit - where one can find most anything desired A A halls, the far-famed Ginza with its maze fine restaurants, the a hundred other views never forget. 3,,,., nk' - ,N ,J i I, J L ' Af 2 rk A-nn, 1 c . ,ns .f . 1' 1 .wk ' 'A iii

f And then one day, as Operation Little Switch is being completed in Korea .... we are on our way to Beppu .... home of the boiling ponds of mud and mineral waters, of the Rakasans, the 187th Regimental Combat Team. We are one of the few Navy ships to visit this spot.i The Army hosts us in a manner unequaled....and we relax in the oncoming warm weather and have fun. Our callers include the Governor, the Mayor and a University president .... as well as one of the youngest Generals in the Army. we find Beppu to our liking, and when we depart it is with a certain sadness and a definite hope of return.
