Cuban independence day is May
20. and Our Town is having
Fiesta" in celebration thereof!
The ships visit was only the be-
ginning of all the scheduled acti-
vitieS.

still aboard-yours truly was NOV
ed profoundly by thoughts of pa
triotism, and the great friendliness
between good neighbors was appar-

wonderful music-the civilian dig
nitaries-the US. Navy-the mean

The arrival of the military was
also very impressive! They came
by plane and included General and
Mrs. Juan Rojas and Commander
and Mrs. Cosme A. Varas, "Aydte"
of the Cuban President, and many
others.

fortunately no confusion. Pictures
were taken (our photographer, Sy-
