5 of the people of Barcelona to be friendly with the visiting sailors. ,J F l y. cj an attraction which never failed to win the whole hearted support ' Whether attending a gay fiesta in honor of the Navy or just i 'walking the streets of the city, we were impressed with the efforts , The fqct that few of the Spanish people spoke English did not em to affect their pleasure at our company. The city, where Queen Isabella once commissioned Colum- bus to find a new route to the Orient, is dotted with points of sight- seeing interest. Probably the one visited by most Salemites was 5 the Plaza del Toro. The bullfight that we saw there featured se the six ranking matadors of Spain and the enthusiasm of the crowd a V was something which surpassed that of a seventh game pennant riot, as pillows, wine jugs, and anything else that came to hand ' were thrown into the ring in approval. While we were there, the ship was opened to visitors each i afternoon. It was obvious to all that the sightseers were impressed with the strength of America, as exemplified by the SALEM. But of f all the units of complex machinery, of all the intricate gadgets A necessary to a modern fighting ship, the most appealing to the citizens of Barcelona and the one which did most to convince them of American excellence in the field of technical engineering , was the automatic coke machine. To watch the paper cups slide into position and be filled, untouched by human hand, was and friendship of visitors. -14' 3 -uv -- M-gr-em ---1 Barcelona, Spain SEPTEMBER uw. wt ww ., ft, fm sr: 5 6 7 8 9 I0 ll I2 I3 XXX ff , 1 f V. f xi?

has i - L Q 'xl VRD! Y Villefranche, France IV Tnur nf the Riviera Local scenery. Monaco by land .... , , x, em ,.,,,, ,yn NIT' X '-us S3350 and au- 529, . I N 'Y I Sunrise-suddenly the Mediterranean coast of France becomes the gay Riviera. The somber grey waterfronts are transformed to scenes of chic demoiselles, brightly colored boats, and delicate rose wine in green bottles. One has only to look up from the quay at Villefranche to see the brilliant bougainvillae vines partially covering the pastel shaded walls of the villas. A more careful observer would note the numerous cactus plants, and the pepper and fig trees. From far up on towering limestone cliffs, perhaps at the ancient town of Eze, the sea below takes on its characteristic azure hue. A shrill whistle announces a train Qt one of the numerous coastal stations. There are the beaches from Golfe Iuan to Menton, mostly Cobble, but oc- casionally sand, and always filled with bathers and sun- bathers. Though many of the old, famous villas still stand, todalf they are but pale reminders of the elegant extrav- Crgance of the diamond or gold coast. One reminder re- mains bright, however-namely, the millionaires' yachts which still put in to the basins at Cannes and Monte Carlo. Still attracting many yearly is the Casino at Monte Carlo but the receipts are no longer fabulous. The boardwalk at Menton which extends all the way to the Italian border is reminiscent of our own Atlantic seaboard. In the evenings the ,twinkling lights of Nice cast their shadows on the sky, and the nightclubs are the center of laughter and excitement. X 3 Beaulieu sur Mer. 'nt , 5 .
