Some of these men are in port for the first time. One of those whose home is in New Haven and who has been to sea from his early boyhood said yesterday that he had not been at home at Christmas time before in twenty five years. Last year he was in Australia. Thore are probably many like him, So that an entertain ment such as is in store for them tonight must indeed be treat and have it's desired effect
