Last year it was found that the men,
bers of the organization had a better
time in q liberty port where there was
q small town, than If they went to New

who visited this port last year came
back with stories of the wonderful en-
tertainment given them by the towns
people, and said they were anxious to
stage a return visit.
The local reserviSts will have with
them on each of the three cruises, which
will be taken aboard the local Reserve
