heavy cruiser USS Bremerton after
completing a six month tour OF

A July highlight of the uSS Bre-
mert0n's tour was a three day visit
to Hakodate. Japan, scene of the

ser's visit honofed the arrival in

miniscing about the warm welcome

crew was among the first to aid
Kakodate typhoon victims, donat-
ing $500.
Other ports visited were Kobe, Sa-
sebo, Yokosuka, Yokohama, Japan,
and Hong Kong, British Crown

temporarily interrupted when all
ships were ordered to sea to evade
an approaching typhoon. This was
one of seven typhoons that threat
ened the Bremerton.
Training and exercises at sea ac-
counted Tor most of the cruisers

bee Park Community Council be-
came a reality, In three months

sun shelters for children. establish
ed a mothers safety patrol, in
creased general welfare work and
commenced publication Of their
own newspaper.
Although Miss Curran insisted
that her work in these various
fields not be publicized, il was
through her untiring efforts that
interest in them were created.
Miss Curran is a lovely person, "
said one lady. "only woman who
is herself inherently good could
work so unselfishly and tirelessly
for the good of others"
"Since she has left us for gen.
eral welfare work in Key West,
overall interest in the betterment
campaign has decreased" another
said.
Miss Curran, originally sent to
Key West by U. c. d. S. at the
request of Naval autorities, was
assigned to Sigsbee Park to es-
tablish an overall community eff.
fort.
Her aim has been to have the
people choose their own projects,
remaining in the background her
self while stimulating the interest
of individuals.
IF Miss Curran has a fault, "
said one man interviewed" "it is
believing everyone to be complete
ly good. In her opinion, no one
has ever been bad"
