NAPLES, ITALY Much of Italy ' s most beautiful music comes from Naples. The harbor here is situated in the shadow of Mount Vesuvius ' s smoky summit. Besides its local inducements, Naples is a convenient jump- ing-off pad for Capri, Rome, Pompeii and Sorrento. During a. four-day tour to Rome, Father An- thony Volz, the Marine chaplain, was able to gain a special audience with Pope Paul VI for Francis Marion men.

ATHENS, GREECE Piraeus is the ancient harbor used by the Golden Age Grecians to gain access to Athens, the most glorious city-state of the era. Today the vessels which drop their anchors in Piraeus are no longer propelled by oarsmen, but the harbor serves the same purpose. We arrived in time for Greek Navy Week and FRANCIS MARION was full-dressed June 28th in honor of his Hellenic Majesty ' s visit to Greek naval ships in the harbor. A visit to Athens without seeing the Acropolis is no visit at all. The buildings there have not only existed for thousands of years, but have withstood many sieges as well. The Parthenon, partly destroyed by Turldsh bombs, still dominates the Acropolis with its architectural grace and splendor. Athens combines a glorious past with a bustling present. Marble columns and ancient amphitheatres stand as silent sentinels amid modern buildings and busy traffic, making time stand still in the minds of visitors and residents alike. 4 In Piraeus we met Aphrodite In Athens it was Dionysos G x1 of Ouzo

ry Woweee! CANNES, FRANCE Cannes and the French Riviera, scene of the international Film Festival, birthplace of the bikini, and world-famous resort area, was our next port-of-call. The beaches there are among Europe ' s most beautiful. We arrived during the tourist season and the place was crawling with sun- worshippers of every nationality. We thought we had seen bikinis before! Well, maybe we had - stateside versions. But in Cannes, if the brief bikini got any briefer, it wouldn ' t e.xist! As it is now, there can ' t be more than a dollar ' s worth of material in the French bikini, and I don ' t care if they were to make them of silk, there still wouldn ' t be enough material to make a fair size scarf. But they sure look nice! After laying around the beautiful sandy beaches and eating the expensives, but good, French cuisine, we had to leave Cannes and all her beautiful scenery. y r r B ID Cifffues i3
