N ,X The old and A the young. Villefranche is our home away from home and by far the favorite port of the SALEM. There wasn't another port like Ville on the cruise. Where else can you find a Iimmy's with beer that tastes better than any other bar's in France and American music played by French- men? Where else can you find a Blue Beach and a chance to leave the ship at one and be basking in the sun by one-fifteen? Where else can you find a Ville Girl ? Where else can you find the OZ level and an atmosphere unique, where good beer costs less and where you can't move a step without seeing a ship- mate? Where else can you find the perfume shops that sell at a price less than the ship's store a product of equal quality? Where else can you find Mary, the flower girl, who's straight out of Runyon, who knows more sailors and has hugged more Admirals than any- one could believe possible. Where else can you find an excellent baseball field and, without charge, free access to it? Where else can you find a port where credit is good 'till the next time you're there? And where else can you find Mom's, the restaurant and meeting place at fleet landing where a good sandwich is always available, where a leisurely hour's talk is there for the taking, and where Mom takes care of the sailor boys as she would her own? In the Med there's only one answer: no where else but Ville. Ask any Salemite. he If -af,
