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

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.

GENOA, ITALY Crew members of the FRANCIS MARION took tours to Rome, Venice, Florence, Pisa and the Italian Riviera and Munich, Germany from the port of Genoa, Italy. Some also took local tours of the city which is the birthplace of Christopher Columbus. Furthering the People-to-People progTam men from the Swamp Fox painted corridors and rooms of the Orphanage of Divine Providence and presented the young girls with Project Handi clasp materials. VALLETTA, MALTA On the 16th of September, FRANCIS MARION and three other ships of the squadron separated and sailed into Valletta, Malta. Malta serves as a Mediterranean base of operations for the British Royal Navy. Warm beer and strange money-pence, shillings, pounds-certainly had us confused for a while, yet , we got the hang of both before we left. Malta was out last liberty port and a few of the guys were already starting to get channel favor .
