-A u. is A i a-. 3.4 ' w b e- 4 v N The foreman People-to-People The 1958 cruise undoubtedly witnessed the finest goodwill and ambassadorial efforts by the GREENWICH BAYinits ten years of Middle East deployment. Many childrc-n's groups, visiting newsmen and hosts of dig- nataries and officials were entertained aboard the ship in each of our ports-of-call. l-lowever, it is to the Fund we instituted forthe American Mission Hospital of Bahrain that we can point with the greatest pride. We supplemented our monetary donations by volun- tarily giving blood to replenish their blood bank. A special interest was taken in the orphans of the Mis- sion and working parties from the ship under the di- rection of Chaplain Vernon J. Ramsey completely painted and remodeled the orphanage rooms at the Hospital. Additionally, swings were erected on the children's playground and we supplied as much re- creational gear as we could muster. In this manner we believe we reached the man in the street. lf-akin I 1 f 1- - Six? ' T i 5 -23-,f -' ff 1 - if , Q ' 1 Q35 . X X Z-F V' 5,5 '., J A ', sg I gin, Z 1 fftf 'vw 2 i Lf: .

I I Use Burma Shave Talent Show Breaking the nightly routine on one occasion while the Witch was anchored off Bahrain was a gala talent and variety show. This event, staged on the fantail, drew an overflow crowd including several American guests of the opposite sex who cheered and applauded the local shipboard talent right along with the crew. . . mostly out of embarrassment. Under the able direction of M. C. Lonnie Country Boy Carter, the show was a smashing box- office triumph and the array of dancers, actors, rock-n-roll, hill-billy and pop music artists scored big personal hits. hw x N. 71 hd' Hello Big Boy.

The Jufair swim- . ming pool and tours of the BAPCO oil refinery were other objects of enjoyment as well as just taking in the local color. In the line of athletics, the GREENWICH BAY's riile team got into action on numerous occasions against the Royal Navy Signal Corps team. Jufair canteen. That -vwr ll,-I C lf' , 'llll , .
