V VIPs l ficqk HY' -' ' s fl C K ex FIT' On her trip from Long Beach to Pearl Harbor, SAINT PAUL played host to fifteen distinguished guests of the Secretary of the Navy. All prominent business men from the Midwest, these gentlemen were invited to make the voyage with us as part of the Navy's goodwill program. By living among us for a week or so, it is hoped these gentlemen gained better insight into the Navy's problems, and thus, the Navy gains new friends. The crew and guests struck it off well from the start and it was not long before they were a part of us. At any time during the crossing a SAINT PAUL swabbie was apt to look up from his holy- stone into the lens of a guest's camera. Our ship- board lives were well recorded on film before this first leg of the cruise had ended. The most gratifying photographic result was a first-rate movie with sound, made by Mr. Johnson of the Warner Com- pany, Muncie, lndiana. Mr. Johnson has already shown his movie throughout the Midwest and among the viewers was the Commander-in-Chief. As they mixed with the officers and men, toured every space of SAINT PAUL, dined with us, and took part in our Happy Hour, we soon felt as though they were part of us and the friendship be- tween us was gratifying.
