SHIP' S PARTIES Not one, but two. We of the STEINAKER don't do things by half measures giwe had a ship s party on each of two consecutive mghts. In-as-much as one party wasn't sufiicient to accomodate our entire crew, the only logical solution was two. In any case both parties turned out well above our high expectations, and MAH Hands enjoyed a hilarious if not a spectacular evening. . With the excitement and anticipation of the forthcoming parties, the uStinky was a beehive of activity. Ironically enough, it was noted that the activity centered more around personal chores than routine ship's work. Yes, each and every sailor on this uCan ' was determined to be the sharpest article in attendance. Blues were pressed, white hats washed, buttons sewed and shoes meticulously shined, for it was rumored that the Army Hostess Service was furnishing girls. GIRLS, WOMEN, what have you the sailor's first love. The word was passed from ear to ear, shipmate to shipmate so, hence, the beehive of activity. The time: 1930 hours. The place: U.S. Army Canteen QSugar Bowlj, Trieste, F.T.T. This was the spot selected by our Welfare and Recreation Com- mittee for our parties. Faces could be seen peering nervously in the canteen windows. Our anxious early arrivers had shown up and were ustraining at the bit for the doors to open. They did! Begins the fun! The first party was underway. It was unbelie- vable how quickly the house was jammed to capacity. Beer, food and general good humor prevailed. MQuiet Please .... cried a voice over the microphone. MWe would like to commence the evening's entertainmentw. TRIESTE, 'The origin of Trieste is lost in the darkness of ancient times, however, its history began in the year 128 B.C. when the Romans captured the few hamlets on the hill of San Giusto - new the Old splction of the city - which rises from the waters at t e head of the Gulf of T ' t h of the Adriatic Sea. . nes ei at t e north end In 419 B.C. the inhabitants of Trieste were given Roman citizenship, and under Emperor Oetavian gprgustus, Trieste enjoyed an era of prosperity and 1 ization, evidence of which can be seen today in th ' . e ruins of the Roman Theatre only a short rlismncc What's this, a floor show yet? The Welfare Recreation Committee certainly went overboard this ship's party evolution. That's the anything for the boys in blue. In any event, entertainment was wonderful. The female went over exceedingly well due to her talent as comedienne, excellent voice notwithstanding. The Master of Ceremonies, a talented guitarist, seemed to have his slightly tipsy audience perfectly control. Then there came the sharp-shooter , had an amazing eye and could perform miracles a 22 caliber rifle flnfantry materialj. Last but least, the specialty dancer faffectionate little The young lady had a marked effect on Mr. and Mr. Sterner fship's loversj. Amid frenzied removing, handkerchief swipes and speedy in futile attempt to evade the caressing arms of swivel hipped dancer, the two gentlemen decided signs of embarrassment. While on the of talent, credit is due to our own ,I im Cerda Q referred to as Mhiingersi' due to his dexterity 0 ivoriesj, a very fine pianist, for his well-played tuna added much to the evening's entertainment. The second party was, of course, every bit as good, and enjoyed just as much as the first. It may be added that if one were fortunate enough to attend both parties, he would have found the same floor show, and both parties identical in every respect. We, the crew of tl1e STEINAKER, wish t0 extend our sincere thanks and a WELL DONE to the members of the Welfare and Recreation Com-' mittee for their fine job and hard work in arranging our ship's parties.

From then till 1918, except for two very short periods, Trieste remained a part of Austrian Empire. Numerous German immigrants during this period came close to Germanizing the city, homever, the Italian character of the city survived and remains to this day. In 1919, as a result of the Treaty of San Germain, the city was aquired by Italy, with the Italian Armistice of 1943, the Germans moved into control with plans of incorporating it into the Greater Reich So it was in the closing days of April 1945, that Marshall Tito's 9th corps advanced against the Ger- mans and forced their entry into the 't d ci y, an two days later, on May 1, 1945 and the 2nd New Zealand Division landed at Trieste to accept the surrender of the Germans who were still holding out because they refused to surrender to the Yugoslavs. Trieste has b su sequently been held by a mixed force of British, American and Yugoslav Troops.
