ISTHMIAN FRIENDSHI

ofliving tworkingplayling togethyier


J Iv 1960, the fifty-sixth mes de -julio
smece the United States brought its en-
ginleers. railroad men, steam shovel op-
erators, and other construction forces to
the Isthmus to complete the dream of
centuries-the building of the Panama
Canal-was pretty much an ordinary
morith hereabouts.
Except for the arrival of the Canal
Zone's newr Governor, the swearing-in
ceremony at Balboa Heights and the
annual flurry of July 4 celebrations, it
.* a just about like any other month of
th'year. Isthmians went about their
buylives as usual as the rainy season
slwly climbed toward its end-of-the-
;ecr deluges.


There were well-publicized efforts to
increase associations and friendships
between..Zonians and Panamanians and
vice versa.
In the Canal Zone, Maj. Gen. Theo-
dore F. Bogart officially launched "Op-
eration Friendship" and in Panama,
President Ernesto de la Guardia, Jr.,
issued an official invitation for all North
Americans in the Canal Zone to visit
Panama.
Less publicized activities were also
going on, jutas they have been for
more than hafa century.
Last month the people of manyn-
tionalitiesh1ving along the banksofte
Canal continued to associate socially


and professionally, sharing their reli-
gious, charitable, cultural, and athletic
interests.
Here is a partial diary of some of the
things the people living together on the
Isthmus did together, in July 1960:
July 8: The American Legion's All-
Star baseball teamn of teenagers, wvho
will represent the Canal Zone this month
in national tournaments at College Park,
Md., embarked on a series of practice
games at the Panama Stadium. Their
opponents in the series were members
of an amateur team. from Panama spon-
sored by the Lions Club.
July 9: The Balboa Woman's Club;
called a meeting of its charity committee

to plan activities for the coming year.
For many years, this Canal Zone Club
has lent a helping hand wherever on the
Isthmus it was needed.
July 11: The board of the 15-year-old
Interamerican Woman's Club held its
first meeting; by provisions of its con-
-stitution, women from the Canal Zone
and Panama alternate in its principal
offices and women from both jurisdic-
tions serve on its board.
Its activities are many and varied.
Members study each other's language,
learn each other's cooking. Orphanages
in Panama City benefit from their ef-
forts; a special committee raised $21,000
for the Nuestra Sefiora Children's Home
in the past five years. Some of this came
through regular gifts from men of
the Signal Corps stationed at Quarry
Heights.
July 13: A Zonian, Capt. Axton T.
Jones, Cristobal Port Captain; spoke,to
the Cristobal-Colon Rotary Club on
various aspects of his job. The program
for the following week was to include
speakers discussing operations of Colon's
Free Zone.
July 14: At its Post Home on the
banks of the Canal, the American Legion
successfully launched a series of pro-
gasdesigned to honor outstanding
fgrsin the Republic of Panama. The
program, attended by a large and enthu-
siastic audience, honored the French
Ambassador to Panama on his country's
national day. Later in the month, two
former presidents, publishers, and other
community leaders from both sides of
the border were to be honored.
July 17: Thirty energetic teenagers
from Ancon s Cathedral of Saint Luke


spent a hilarious afternoon at Goofy
Falls, a few miles beyond Panama's
Tocumen Airport. T-he next Sunday,
they became tourists for the afternoon,
making the rounds of such spots as the
French Plaza, the Church of the Golden
Altar, the Flat Arch, and other spots
alwayss included on the itinerary of
visitors to Panama City. Oldtimers in
:t ~~the garoupexplained t~~~he sights to their

July 18: Music-loving readers of local
newspapers discovered they were in for
a treat at a series of chamber music
concerts by musicians from Panama and
'the Carial Zone. The first was to be
given at the Pananianian-North Amer-
ican Association in Panama (Zonians ac-
count for 11 of its 36 charter meinbers)
and the second at the Balboa JWB,
where many of Panama's leading mu-
sical artists have presented concerts.
July 19: The Bfrst contingent of young
people from the Balboa Union Church
took off for the annual summer camp,
held this ~year at Santa Clara, one of
Panama's wyhitest, longest beaches. Long
a favorite of Isthmians, Santa Clara this
year includes among its new residents
the Wesley Kennedys of Curundu. At
their new weekend home, they joined
such beach enthusiasts as the George
Daniels of Ancon and Mrs. Rsle
Demers, who retired recently from the
Cainal organization and who has just
acquired her second Santa Clara home.
July 20: Sixty-four strong, members
of the Atlantic side Newcomers' Club
made their annual trek across the Isth-
mus to Panama City. One of their first
stops was at the historic Presidencia,
where President de la Guardia took


time out of his busy day to greet them.
The same day, the Soroptomists Club
met at El Panama Hilton for its monthly
tea. Charter members of the 4-year-old
club include Miss Sara de la Pefia, first
woman to serve as Clerk of the United
States District Court in the Canal Zone;
Mrs. James jPrice. of thie Canal Zone
Libra[\! staff; Miss Elsa V'aldes, who
holds one of the top' posts il. Pannama'j
Sociad Seculit! on ganizationl, and Mits.
Berta de Moscote, principal of the Girks'
Professional School in P~anaina.
July- 21: A new era in relations be-
tween students in Panama and the Canal
Zone was inaugurated when three rep-
resentatives of the University of' Pan-
ama's Law School delivered a formal
invitation to Joe Reynolds, president of
the Canal Zone Junior College Student
Association for a get-together at El
Rancho on August 6, celebrating thei
University's 25th anniversary. Delivery
of the invitation was the occasion for a
little party at the Reynolds' home in
Balboa.
The same day, the Panama Rotary
Club, which numbers nine Zonians as
members, inducted newly-arrived Co\.
W. A. Carter as an honorary member
and applauded enthusiastically as the
Lieutenant Governor of the Canal Zone.
Col. John D. McElheny, spoke bried!
in Spanish.
And that night, the Panama Mlarlin
Club met at the Canal Zone Police
Lodge on' the Chiva-Chiva Trail to,
award prizes for the previous year's
fishing tournament.
July 23 and 24: This was a buwy
weekend. As part of the 50th: anniv~er-
sary of the founding of the Boy Scouts


AUGUST 5, 1960







of America, 30 Bo\s Scouts from Pan-
ama joined 30 International Boy Scouts
of the Canal Zone anld o\er 120 members
of the Canal Zonle Bov Scouts of A~mer-
icai for a Camporee at Camp Chagres
on Madden Lake. The location w\as
considerably more con\enient than the
longtime Scout camp at El 1'olran in
Panama's highlands which w\as abanr-
donerd a \ ear or so ago in favor of a new
camp site, more easily accesjsib~le.
At For-t A~mador senior golfers-they
had to be 50j-years-old or more-g~t
together fiom P[anama and the Canal
Zone for their annual tournament. This
s ear's winner was Paul J. Mloran, of
~Curundu H~eights, who works For the
Ar-my at Corozal. His score for the, twio-
day play was 149. One of those playing
for both days was Panama's ranking
golfer, President de la Guardia.
And, at Colon .during the anniversary
celebration-~ of the city's Bomberos, At-
lantle sidle posts of the American Legion
awarded their "Merritor~ious Award" to
Julio Salas, past .commandant of the
Bomberos. The award was given for his
"outstanding contribution and tireless
efforts and accomplishments in assisting
the Good Neighbor Policy."
July 24: Volunteers from the Carial

Zone joined friends across the border in
rehabilitating Colon's Amador Guerrero
Hospital. Their labor was free; the ma-
terials writh which they worked were
Tur~nished by firms in the Free Zone,
Panama, andl the Canal Zone. By work-
ing Sundays, the c~leaned up most of
the exterior of thekbig building.
And finally, on July 29g: Five young
wromenl fro~n the Canal Zone, white-
gow\ned and w~hite-glovetd, were for-
mall\ pr~esented to Isthmnian society at
a charity ball at the Union Club in Pan-
ama City. On hand to see them make
their boiws were a number of- other
Canal Zone girls, who had been pre-
.sented in pre\ ious balls.
SAll in all, it turned out to be a busy
month-in the Canal Zone, in Panama,
and across the border. The natural as-
sociation between people appeared to
be more widespread than ever, even
though the 1960 census showed the
Canal Zone's population to be the
smallest for many years.

buried under Gatun Lake.
The 12 tugs now li use all carry the
names of townsites, rivers, or islands.
The new tugs are to be the most
powerful in the Canal service. They are
2,400 horsepower, single-screw diesels
with controllable pitch propellers op-
erating through a reduction gear. The
hulls are of an ultra-modern design
which has proved itself in harbor service
in East Coast ports.
The new tugs are 105 feet long, some-
wha shore rh sera to nv
Terted sahl\age tug Taboga, which meas-
ures 113i feet. They will, howre\er, hale
considerably more power. The Tabogpa.
most powerful in Canal service at pre-
sent, has 1,530 horsepower.
The tugs will have a cruising speed
of 12-14 knots and a Canal transit speed
of six knots. The new tugs are designed
especially for use in the narorower see-
tions of the Panama Canal to assist
super-tankers and large ore ships during
transit.
The three tugs will be the first new
Ones added to the Canal tug fleet since
acquisition of the Taboga .in 1944. In
addition to the Taboga, those tugs now
in service with 1,000 horsepower or
more are the Gorgona,. San Pablo, Car-
denas, and Culebra.
The Diamond Manufacturing Co. of
Savannah, Ga., is building the tugs on
a low bid of $1,824,261 submitted late
last year. The new tugs were designed
by Thomas D. Bowes, naval architect
and engineer of Philadelphia, Pa.


JOHN F". WALLACE


ticularly thought it a good idea for some-
Sthing to be named for Stevens, smece his
contribution to the construction of the
Canal was so important and since we
don't believe there is a visible reminder
of his work on the Isthmus. Much praise
has already been given Goethals, brit
we~ felt that in using the three engineers
it emphasized the continuity of their
-work'."
Late last month, Col\ eror Carter ap-
proved the Historical .Soci-ety's sugges-
tion*
The use of the names, of men asso-
ciated with construction of the Canal
originally was suggested for tugs back
in 1914, brit wras rejeited inl favor of
townsite names. The first two tugs
ordered for use in the completed Canal
were named Gorgona and Ta~Ecenello.


FOR TH-E first time in the history of the
Panama Canal, the names' of famous
personages" associated with the construc-
tion of the Canal will be assigned to
tugs in Canal service.
Three new tugs now nearig comple-
tion at Savannah, Ga., will carry the
names of the three successive chief- en-
gineers in construction of the Canal
-John F. Wallace, Joh F. Stevens, and
George WT. Goethals.
The names were suggested by the
board of directors of the Isthmian His-
torical Society, which was asked to
submit recommendations. In the letter
setting forth the board's recommenda-
tions, Cornelius S. M~cCormack, pres-
ident of the Historical Society, said:

TRANSPORTATION and


TERMINALS BUREAU


SOLE BUREAU of the Company-Govern-
ment with its headquarters on the At-
lantic side of the Canal Zone is the
TTransportation and Terminals Bureau,
which has .charge of all of the organiza-
tion's rolling stock.
Its varied operations are coordinated
through mamn offices in the Terminal
Building at Cristobal, where Director
B. I. Everson and his staff tie all the
loose ends together.
And the tie-ins of its three divisions
are apt to be closer in the Transporta-
tion and Terminals Bureau than in
many of the other seven major units in
the organization. Cargo arriving by Pan-
ama- Line, for instance, is unloaded by
stevedores on the rolls of the Terminals
Division, put aboard the rolling; stock
of the Railroad Division, and unloaded
in Balboa onto trucks for which the


Motor Transportation Division is re-
sponsible.
The. Bureau is not only multi-funo-
tional; it is multi-national as well. Its
2,500 employees represent at least a
dozen nationalities. Of the total, only
254 are citizens of the United States.
Among the others are Panamanians, in-
cluding a number of San Blas Indians;
East Indians-there are only 40 of them
left, but several years ago their turbaned
heads were common sights on the
docks; Ecuadoreans--who seem to have
a peculiar affinity for cargo handlig;
and representatives of a good many
other Central and South American
countries.
The Bureau also is unique in that it
serves, as general agent for the Panama
Line and steamship agent for a few


other ships which do not have local rep-
resentation.
Another unique feature of the Tran-
sportation and Terminals Bureau, pos-
'sibly due to its location, is the close
across-the-border relations it maintains
with the people of the Republic of Pan-
ama, particularly in Colon. On various
occasions certain equipment and facili-
ties have been made available for
meritorious community activities and its
people are active after hours in affairs
of the twin city. An exmpe of this is
the Bureau Director himself; not long
ago he was made a "Meritorious Citizen
of Colon," for his cooperation with its
people.
Some of the Bureau's operations and
the people who do them appear on the
following pages.

MOST OF THE valuable metal which
crosses th;. Isthmul~s by rail these days
is in the j~eweby aInd coins c.-rrlied by
passengers on th~e Panama Railroad, a
situation in sharp contrast to the gold-
plated business the railroad once did in
moymng precious metals between the
oceans.
The nature of the Panama Railroad's
bulsinless has shifted cons~?ideraibly since
its first 12 years of operation from 1855
to 1887, when it transported 750 million
dollars worth of gold and silver across
the Isthmus. But the freight, personnel,
and mail which the Railroad Division
now carries are more important to life
inl thet Canal Zone and the Re.public ,F
Panama than all the gold and jilv er it
moved in those bygone days.
In that period of a century ago, and
for many years afterward, the Panama
Railroad served as the shortest con-
necting link between east and west, just
as thec Panamna Canal is today. Then the
Railroad's primary function was car-
rying cargo, both human and inanimate,
from one ocean to the other, with very
little of it remaining on the Isthmius.
Today, the Railroa~d's primary function
is to deliver cargo on the Isthmus, with
very little of it being bound from
ocean to ocean.
The Panama Railroad, with slightly
less than 48 miles of main hine track
and a 105-year history as flecked with
color as a faceted diamond, has been
switched, mn short, from an intercoastal
carrier to the role of a supporting agency
for an mnter-oceanic canal.
Today, twelve passenger trains daily
handle its regularly-scheduled passen-
ger load and four freight trains move all
in-and-out bound freitht be-tween the
terminal cities. In Ikeepinlg w\ith the
times,. the Railroad- offers an excellent

DouRNG 1116 COnStruction days the materials
which went into the building of the Panama
Canal flowed over its piers. Its men handled
precious cargo, like gold and Panama hats,
worth millions of dollars.
Today, the Canal's terminals still handle
cargo from all parts of the world, consigned
to almost every place on the globe.
A day spent wandering on thiis waterfront
is still a capsule round-the-world tour-and
considerably less expensive to take.


THE TERMINALS DIVISION, which op-
erates the docks, pisrs, marine bunker-
mng and tank farm facilities at Cristobal
andl Balboa, is the largest of the three
divisions which make up the Transpor-
tationI and Terminals Bureau.
The Division employs approximately
1,800 of the 2,500 workers in the Bu-
reau and takes pride in its cargo-
ha~ndhog~l facilities, which are as modern
and efficient as those in even the largest
and most well-equipped of the world's
ports.
To provide economical and depend-
able service to the many vessels calling
at the deep water ports of Balboa and
Cristobal, every effort is made to con-
tinually keep abreast -of new develop-
ments in the cargo-handling and trans-
portation fields.
Two-ton-capacity fork-lift trucks for
handling palletized lot shipments in the
confines of shipholds are now in use as
well as big, fast-moving 10-ton-capacity
fork-lifts on the docks and piers for the
heavier containerized cargo, machinery,
and larger items.
Until these machines were put into
service, palletized cargo had to be
broken down for manual handling in
shipholds, while two of the regular
three-ton-capacity fork trucks working
together were required to move the
heavier lifts on the docks. As expected,
dhese newr iems sup0plem en tohraegreat
capacity fork trucks which continually
are mn use simplifying and speeding up
work on the piers.
The use of larger skid loads, partic-
ularly for bagged commodities, the in-
creasmng use of conveyors, sectional
rollers, rain tents aboard vessels, and a
dependable labor force undergoing ac-
celerated industrial training all combine
for a progressively improved working
organization,
The Terminals Division is responsible
for assigning ship berths at the seven
docks and piers at the Atlantic Ter-
minal, which have some two miles of
lineal berthing space and at the four
docks and piers at the Pacific Terminal
which have~ about one mile of berthing
s ace
The average age of the 11 piers op-
erated by the Division is 40 years, but
because of the advanced-design features

included in the original construction,
and a continual maintenance program,
the piers still are considered "modern"
by shipping terminal experts. The six
covered transit sheds and complete rail
and truck facilities provide the Canal
Zone and Panama shippers and con-
signees the expeditious service so often
needed.
The Division normally moves cargo
between ships and piers and between
ships and land carriers in well estab-
lished procedures, but it can and often
does give special handling to materials
which are needed urgently.


Contractors' materials frequently are
needed even before they arrive on the
Isthmus and on several occasions during
the present Cut-widening project the
Termninals Division has sorted through
several hundred packages of incoming
material to locate two or three con-
taining repair parts or other items
needed immediately.
Of a more mundane nature, but
nonetheless urgent, was the shipment
of fireworks used in the Canal Zone
Pacific Side celebrations of the Fourth
of July.. The ship carrying the fireworks
did not arrive at dockside until 2 p.m.

on the Fourth,~ but the fireworks were

the proper authorities in time. for the

Outlets on the Division's piers pro-
vide vessels at berth with water, power,
and telephone service on a 24-hour
basis. Ships also can receive various
types of bunkers from large, well-known
companies operating over the piers.
With vessels now designed for a va-
riety of petroleum blends, the Division
reports that during the past few years

THE PANAMA CANAL REVIEW 15


a number of oil companies have in-
stalled blending machines which can be
used to combine various grades of
petroleum products to provide exactly
the fuel needed by any ship.
The Marine Bunkering Unit performs
an important function of the Division,
particularly in 'round-the-clock opera-
tions which assure prompt scheduling
for Canal transits and departures.
Despite the multiplicity of services
which the Division provides and the
specialized nature of a number of them,


a rate of efficiency is maintained which
enables the Division to point to a
constant increase in the cargo` tonnage
handled per man-hour, even though
the present tons-per-man-hour already
matches or exceeds that of the world's
largest ports.
And this rate of cargo movement is,
after all, the criterion on which any
judgment of the Divsion s performance
must be based. So, if judgment is re-
quired, the Teminals Division undoub-
tedly would receive, in the terminology
of marine insurance, an A-1 rating.

concentrated as much as possible on
preventing accidents. This includes not
only the training referred to above, but
also regular safety inspections of all
units, scoreboards which show how the
various units stand in the safety pro-
gram, meetings with employees on the
job to discuss safety, provision of safety
equipment on such items as the newr
forklift trucks which now come with an
overhead guard, and a recent revision
of all safety regulations.


Teaching supervisors to teach others is an important part of training. The supervisors learn
to: "Prepare the worker,' present the operation, and do the job," so the blackboard says.


train supervisors to teach operating
tasks. For instance: Each time a new
type of container is manufactured or a
new variety of automobile arrives over
the piers, riggings have to be designed
to handle them. The supervisors must
know how to teach, in order to show the
men under them how to operate such
rigging.
Another facet of the training deals
with basic supervision and leadership.
These courses are designed for both
U.S. and Canal Zone rate personnel,
most of the latter classes being taught
in Spanish. In still another part of the
training work, employees are taught
how to dLo their jobs better.
In addition to all of this, there is off-
the-Isthmus training for supervisors.
E. M. O'Brien, Jr., Superintendent of
.the Terminals Division, is now in
the United States taking an American
Management Association course on the
"Theories of Materials Handling," and
several others have visited refineries,
piers, and the Panama Line operations
in New York to learn what is going on
in their special fields.
A future possibility is a connection
with a U.S. Navy school in Oakland,
Calif., which offers a series of courses
which are tied in to pier operations.
In the safety field, operations are

Ti.l.1NIN AND. SAFETY, although they
are two separate units, go hand in hand
at the Transportation and Terminals
Bureau.
An outstanding example of this is a
new first aid program which has just
been inaugurated by the Bureau. Under
this program, civil defense and in-
dustrial first aid programs have been
integrated.
~The p oram, which was started in
June with the Terminals Division, is
considered a great success so far, and
will be extended to the Bureau's other
two divisions, Railroad and Motor
Transportation, as soon as possible.
The first aid instruction is being
given to such personnel as the dock and
ship gangs on the piers. Later, per-
sonnel from this Division and from
other divisions which have contact with
people and places where first aid might
be necessary will be bracketed into the
program. Eventually, all line supervisors
plus 10 percent of the employees in
operating jobs will be included.
The present course covers 10 hours
of instruction. The first 6 are given on
the job. The employee then volunteers
for the other 4 hours, on his own time.
Training activities are divided into
several major parts.

IF. A. WOMAN Can't Say something worth
listening to in six minutes, then she
shouldn't be talking, the members of the
Pan-Caribbean Toastmistress Club be-
lieve. The women who have this firm
conviction belong to the first Toast-
mistress Club on the Isthmus, so new
that the chartering ceremony is slated
for September. Its aim is .to teach the
members to talk interestingly, whether
just chit-chat or formal speaking.
The parent organization was founded
in California in -1938 by a group of
women who envied their toastmaster
husbands' ability to speak in public.
Toastmistress International today has
over 800 clubs.
Although Toastmistress International
is known as "an international group of
talking women," that does not include
talking all night. Each part of the club's
program for an evening is carefully


timed, and a meeting cannot last longer
than two hours.
A toastmistress' speech is judged on
content, construction, on how well it
covers the~ topic, and how well the talk
is received. There are penalties for going
over the time limit arid' each formal
speaker is criticized by another member
chosen for that duty on the use of
gestures, clear diction, eye-level,
approach, and continuity of thought.
Membership in the Paix-Caribbean
Toastmistress Club is limited to 30
members so that each member may
receive the best training possible. An
"icebreaker" speech is the first address
by each member and then, under formal
speechcraft, each member gives 12
speeches during the year. Dinner pre-
cedes the meetings, which are held
every second and fourth Wednesday in
the Ferni Room of the Tivoli Guest


House. During dinner various subjects
are discussed extemporaneously under
the heading of Table Topics. And, as an
extra, a souvenir known as the Boner of
the Evening is presented to the person
S.who makes the biggest "boner."
The Company-Governmnent, the Army
and the housewives are represented by
the women who are the first officers
elected by the Canal Zone's Toast-
mistresses. President is Mrs. Rosemary
Reardon of the Panama Canal's Main-
tenance Division. 1Mrs. Anna Barker, a
contractor's employee, is administrative
vice president; Mrs. Ruth Schroeder, an
Army employee, educational vice-pres-
ident; Mrs. Angeline Forester, a Cur-
undu housewife, secretary; M~rs. Kath-
erine H-eadrick of the offce staff of the
Division of Schools, treasurer; and Mrs.
SBeverly Ganser, an Army employee,
sergeant-at-arms.


Of~cers: Left to right: Angeline Forester, Beverly Ganser, Ruth
Schroeder, Rosemary Reardon, Anna Barkter, Katherine Headrick.

Mildred Abreu. Seated: Katherine Headrick, the club's treasurer.

"We are serving as a placement
agency for the teenagers," Mr. Hughes
said. "All we need now, as suggested by
Mr. Dean, is the opportunity to place
more of our registrants. We know these
youngsters can perform valuable serv-
ices--and believe employers will be
giving them valuable opportunities by
requesting those services. All we need
is a chance to prove it, so give Mr. Dean
a call if you need some help."

CIVL DEFENSE
NEWS


A FOOD CONCENTRATE just placed on
sale at all Canal Zone retail stores is a
simple answer to the problem of food
storage for Civil Defense.
Known, as MPF (multi-purpose food),
this concentrate is packed in 4V2-pOund
tins and can remain on the shelves
indefinitely without deteriorating.
Even though this product has been
distributed as an emergency food in
more than 100 countries of ~the world
and has been accepted and well-doc-
umented as a proved concentrated food,
a local test was arranged through the
cooperation of John D. Hollen, Chief of
the Executive Planning Staff, and Miss
Melinda Marshall, an employee of the
same organization.
Mr. Hollen, who is Chief of Opera-
tions in the Canal Zone Civil Defense
organization, and Miss Marshall lived
for five days, Monday through Friday,
on nothing but six ounces of MPF
daily, plus the necessary Vitamin C,
which is nussmng from this .product.
They obtained th~e Vitamin C through
grapefruit, orange juice, and other extrus
fruit drinks.
When questioned after the test, nei-
ther complained of having experienced
any unpleasant side effects. Both ad-


NEED R Swiming instructor, bab sitter,
boathand, temporary offce: h l, or
someone to read for a shut-in? A it
takes is a call to Operation Teener Task,
a project of Post 3822, Veterans of
Foreign Wlars.
In the belief that many Canal Zone
teenagers would like to have summer
vacation jobs, Post officials opened Op-
eration Teener Task soon after school
closed this spring.
In a 10-day registration period from
June 7 to 17, a total of 60 boys and 18
girls applied for employment listing
with the Post. They offered to sell skills
and abilities ranging from babysitting
service to special tutoring in a variety of
subjects from Spanish to mathematics.
Donald L. Hughes is chairman of the
committee in charge of the program. He
urges anyone wanting temporary help to
call the teenage administrator of the
project, Joseph Dean, at Curundu 3228.
Mr. Dean, who was graduated from
Balboa High School this spring, is on
duty from 2 to 6 p~m., T~uesday through


Friday, and from 9 a.m. to 1 p~m. On
Saturday.
At present, Mr. Dean receives an
average of four calls per day from po-
tential employers and would like to
triple or quadruple that number. He
reports that teenagers registered with
the project have a wide variety of skills.
On at least one occasion, when a woman
requested a swimming instructor, Mr.
Dean located a registrant who was
qualified for the job, although the youth
had not listed that skill in filling out his
application.
One applicant, a girl who likes to
read aloud, is seeking the task of reading
to shut-ins. So far there has been no
request for her services. She is not alone,
however: Many of the other 15 to
19-year-olds have had no offers of em-
ploym~ent, either.
Mr. Hughes, whose regular job is
Employee Utilization Representative in
the Army's Civilian Personnel Office,
points out that the rate of pay is s~et
between employee and employer.


mitted they felt a loss of energy by the
fifth day, but said they had no head-
aches or other physical ailments com-
monly associated with lack of adequate
nutrition.
Mr. Hollen reported he lost eight
pounds during the five days, but was
pleased rather than displeased about
that, Miss Marshall lost two pounds.
Members of Mr. Hollen's staff were
asked whether or not they had noticed
any changes in his level of activity
during the week, and specifically wheth-
er he had been irritable or difficult
to "live with" during the test. They said
they had noticed no increased irri-
tability, thus indicating that MPF was
fulf~~iwe:l;ingthenutiioa role for which
it wasdeeod.
MPF was stocked by the Retail Store
Branch at the request of P. L. Dade,
Civil Defense Chief. He recommends
that one can of MPF and a supply of
Vitamin C tablets be stored in the home
for each member of the family.
This will provide an assurance of
adequate nutritional protection during
periods of emergency, Mr.- Dade said.
He also recommends that a can be
stored in the family car. Each can of
MPF contains sufficient concentrate to
sustain one individual for 12 days. At
the present price of $S1.75 per can, the
daily cost is less than 15 cerits a day-
a low price to pay for adequate nutri-
tion when and if an emergency should
disrupt the normal food suppl!.

25 Years: Ago
CANAL DEFENSCs and the construction
of a road across the Isthmus were being
discussed both in the Canal Zone and
in Washington 25 years ago this month.
Ilt was estimated that the trans-
Isthmian highway, 18 miles of which
would be hacked out of virgin jungle,
would cost about $2,500,000.
Canal transits were declining in 1935.
Canal authorities reported that there
had been a steady drop in the Canal's
ship traffic during the past five months,
with Julyr traffic and tolls off 10 percent
and 9 percent respectively.
At th8 end of thfe month, Washing-
ton announced that President Franklin
D. Roosevelt would visit the Isthmus
during October on his way back to the
East Coast from California.
10 Years Ago
A HOUSING PROGRAM for the Canal
Zone, to replace most of the older
Canal Zone quarters, got underway 10
years ago when Congress approved a
$2,500,000 appropriation. The money
was to be used to- start a long-term
housing program in the Canal Zone.
Income taxes moved closer to Canal
organization employees as the U.S.


senate killed a- move to keep the canal
Zone tax-exempt. JTanuar~y 1, 1951, was
set as the effective date for the new
income tax law which was to apply to
the Canal Zone.
As the Korean War moved into an
active phase, Canal Zone authorities
announced that nothing stood in the
way of employee reservists who wished
to sign up for active duty. Panama
oflFered all-out aid in the fight and 494
Panamanians volunteered for Uniteid
Nations service in Korea.

One Year Ago
THE PANAMA CANAL celebrated its 45th
birthday a year ago this month. Be-
twceen August 15, 1914, when the
SS Ancon made the first official ocean-
to-ocean passage, and the Canal's an-
niversary, nearly 300,000 ships had
transited the waterway.
On the construction front, bids were
opened on new towing locomotives for
the locks and on a project to provide
better lighting for both Locks and Cut
so that ships could transit faster. On
the personnel front, the Canal Zone
Board of Appeals held its first meeting,
working out procedure to be followed
for appeals.


THERE IS a legendary crea-
ture called the Goofus Bird
which travels under a va-
riety of names and lives
most everywhere. Among
other attributes, this bird is
famed for its abili~tybcwr.Ti :to fly

movement, with eyes
straight toward where it
came from, is said to be due
to the bird's weird desire
to see where it has been rather than
where it is going.
Naturally, this peculiar behavior re-
sults in frequent collisions between the
bird's tail feathers and objects it can't
see because of its reverse locomotion.
Unfortunately, this bird's peculiar
habit apparently is contagious. In fact,
among Canal Zone drivers it reached
what ~doctors might refer to as an epi-
demic stage back in 1958, when 63 ac-
cidents involving official cars occurred
while the car was moving backward.
Since then, the incide-nce has been
declining, but it still is high. During the
year ending in June, some 38 accidents
--almost one-third of all accidents in-
volving official motor vehicles- Oc-
curred while the vehicles were moving
backward.
In the great majority of these acci-
dents, in which the vehicles collided


with lampposts, fire hydrants, other
stationary objects, and other vehicles,
the drivers were other than regular
chauffeus
Backing from a spot in a parking lot
or driveway needn't be a' bone-jarring
and expensive experience if we keep
watching where we're going.
When backing out of a parking lot
spot or out of a driveway the very first
order of business, of course, is to have
the motor running and the car ready to
back. While looking to the back and


sides to make sure all is clear and
keeping a lookout in the direction of
movement, back out slowly.
It obviously is a good practice to back
straight out whenever possible and con-
centrate on what's going on to the rear,
which, after all is the direction of
movement.
There's no denying that swiveling the
neck in order to constantly see to the
back and sides puts a strain on the neck,
but it takes it off the pocketbook and
the nerves.

THE PANAM~A CANAL REVIEW


50O Years Ago
WORKL WAS started 50 years ago this
month on the first trestle for the Colon
Harbor breakwater. The trestle was to
extend 11,000 feet from Toro point to
the entrance of the Canal and was to
serve as a rnmway from which rocks
could' be dumped to form the break-
water proper.
A contract to build a new ladder
dredge for the Pacific Division was
awarded to William Simons 4.r Co. of
Renf~rewo, Scotland, on a low bid of
$339,240. The dre ge was to be de-
livered to Balboa 365 daslater, making
the trip fromt Scotland through the
Straits of Magellan under its own power.
The job of forging the anchor for the
fender chains to. guard the great lock
gates was allocated to the Gorgona
shops. The anchors are frames of struc-
tural steel imbedded in the concrete of
the lock walls. Each anchor weighs nine
tons.

Grancolomnbiana Additions
TWO OF THE lateSt additions to the Flota
Mercante Grancolombiana, S.A., were
to start service on the West Coast of
South America run in July and August,
according to Wilford & McKay, the
line's agents here. The first to arrive was
the Ciudad de Pereira, a modern cargo
ship built in Europe, which made her
first Canal transit July 26. The Ciudad
de 'Armenia, the second in a series of
four n~ew shps bebmg built fr Ithe line,
Europe. Both will be placed immedi-
ately on a New York to South America
service.

New Lykes Vessel
THE. JAMEs LYKES, one of the first of a
fleet of 52 replacement cargo vessels
now being built for the .Lykes Bros.
Steamship Co., will make her return trip
through the Canal August 24, after com-
pleting her maiden voyage to the Far
East from U.S. Gulf ports. The new
cargo liner was built in Pascagoula,
Miss., by the Ingalls Shipbuilding Corp.,
which has a contract to build a num-
ber of the new Lykes replacement
freighters. On her trip to the Far ]Ea~st,
the James Lykes called at West Coast
ports, Manila, Hong Kong, and Yoko-
hama. Panama Agencies represents the
line here.

More Israeli Ships
THE UNITED FRUIT Co. has been ap-
pointed agent for the Israeli-flag vessels
of the Zim Israel Navigation Co., which
will start a new run this fall between
Haifa and the West Coast of the United
States. The announcement was made
recently following a visit here of Mor-
dechai Chovers, General Freight Man-
ager for the line in New York. According
to present plans, the line will route at
least four of its Haifa-U.S. Gulf ru
vessels through the Panama Canal. and
up the West Coast to Los Angeles, San
Francisco, and possibly Seattle. This
service pro aby wilstart wit te
5,000-ton deadweight freighter .Natan-
ya, which now is being constructed.
The Tsefat and Lakhish, two other
vessels owned by this company, have
been making regular trips through the
Canal from- Ecuador during the past
year as banana carriers on charter to a
fruit company operating in Miaini.
These were handled .locally by L. :K.
Cofer.

Italian West Coast Service
A NEW SERVICE was begun in July be-
tween Naples, Italy, and the Pacific
West Coast by two ships of the Italian
flag d'Amico Societa de Navigazione
per Anzioni. The first vessel to make
the new run was the Cesare d'Amico,
an 8,834-gross-ton cargo ship, which
arrived at Cristobal July 31. This and
the Paolo d'Amico will make the voyage
between Naples and Vancouver, British
Columbia, by way of Marseilles, La
Guaira, Panama Canal, Los Angeles,
San Francisco, Portland, and Seattle.
Space is provided on the ships for 12
passengers. Agents here are Andrews
& Co.

Orient Line. Visitors
TWO BIG Orienit & Pacific Line passenger
vessels carrying more than 1,000 pas-
sengers each will call .at Canal ports
during August and September. They are
the Orsova, due August 13, and .the
Iberia, a Pacific & Orient Steam Naviga-
tiori Co. ship due September 5 for her
first transit through the Panama Canal.
Both are due from London and both will
dock at Cristobal and Balboa
After leaving Balboa the Orsova and
Iberia .will sail for the United States
West Coast.- The Orsoua, a 28,790-ton
sh p, made her last trip thro gh the
Canal northbound July 2 of this year.
She is scheduled for a Far East cruise
from the West Coast and then will re-
turn to her run between En land and
Australia, by way of Suez. The 29,614-
gross ton Iberia will make a round-trip
from the West Coast to Australia, via
Honolulu. Norton, Lilly are agents.

New Superships
FmRsT transits through the Panama Canal
were made in July by two more ocean-
going giants. They were the Achilles, a
United States flag super-tanker, which
arrived at Cristobal July 19, with a full
load of oil and the Ore Saturn, latest ad-
dition to the National Bulk Carriers
fleet, which arrived July 21 on her
maiden voyage from Japan, where she
was built.
The 712-foot Achilles, owned by the
Newport Tankers Corp., was built in
Newport News in 1960 and was under
charter to the Military Sea Transport.
The Ojre Saturn is a 751-foot vessel
which will ply between Puerto Ordaz,
Venezplela, and Philadelphia with iron
ore. Panama Agencies act for the ship

THE PANAMA CANAL REVIEW











































_ _


SlowmFcAN1r increases in two of the
major trade routes which flow through
the Panama Canal were outstanding
features of the na;terway~'sl ) traffic dliring
the past fiscal year, ac'cordiing to data
c~ompilrd' by the Executive- Planning
Staff. ''
The two trade routes were that be-
tween the: Un ited States east coast and
Asia and that connecting the United
States east coast writhi the wrest coast of
South Amneric~a. Both were due, in large
part, to increased demands for raw
materials in the consignlee areas.
Cargo movements between the United
States and Asia have been increasing r
steadily for the past few years but the
past fiscal y)ear showed e\en greater
demands for coal and scrap iron because
of the. economic expansion of Japan.
.This past fiscal year cargo moving on
this trade route was approximately a.
third higher than that during fiscal
year 1959.
While cargo shipments -in- the run
between the east coast of the United
States and the west coast of South
America' have also been at a high level
for several years, they were app~roxi-
Inately a quarter more than that of the
revioixs Fiucal yeal:. The inicrease is at-
ibtdpl inclpally o h steady flow
of iron orelfrom South .America to
Unite'dStates ports.
Irorfo(re r~eser-\es i n the trn Ited' States
are being depleted to such anr extent
that steel manufatucturer hi the TiVlited
Statesare seeking foreign sourlces; new\
developments in- Peru and. Chile- are
sulppl!ing much of this dc-lemand -Iron
olre is also moving through thieCarial in '
increased quan ti ties from Sou th mer i a
to Europe--although this, of course, is
not reflected in the United States east
coast-South America trade route.
While ~the change has not- been as
marked, or at significant aS the:twoc re-
porte'd above, Canal statistics also show-
agrowith in trode bet\~eeni 'Europe and
the wviest coast of South America. In,
addition to iron ore, a major commodity
in this trade iis now~ fishmneal from .Peru.
Accordingi to a recent !item in; the
.NeL Y'ork Times.'.fishmeal shipments
have been growing ste~adili since 1950jC,
and hate a lreadv esceleded fore~casts~. In
;1948,1:necordingg to the Times,$ W\est
Gerainy was importing $300,000 worth
of fishmneal and imports to Great Britain
Sfor the same year totalled approximately
$3 million. By 1957, these figures had
increased: to .$20 million- for West Cer-

Once widely used as fertilizer, the
fishmeal is now an essential ingredient
of poultry feed. It is also used, although
to a lesser extent, in processed food for
pigs, cattle, and household pets such as
dogs and cats. It has now become Peru s
ranking export, surpassing sugar which
held top place for many years.
As has been the case in every year of
the Canal's history~except 1957, cargo
i mov'erhi~etS fr~om Pacifi to Atlantic were
heavie~r than~ those_ moving in the op-
posite direction. .Statisticians attribute
this to th-e fact that raw materials, which
are bulky\, rnovl\e `north th~roxigh the
.Canal. F'inished' prodluc~ts, which are
smaller, move south. During the past


fjsc~al y;ear such finished cargo as; iron
and steel mlanufac~tured goods wIas still
lowr compared to shipments of earlier
years, although? there was some sign of
a recovery~ flom the steel strike and
recession of th past~twro years wh~lic~h
had cut dow\n ma~nufacturing.
: One important commnodity in the.
northbound movement, wheat, showed
the low\\est ear~go tonnage in manyeas
Much of the wheat once s~hippedrs
through thie Panama Canal is now
Inot inlg through the St. Lawrence Sea-
way and, Europe has recently h~ad the
beest graizr years of -the past decade or
more.
A number of the flags transiting the
Canal showed marked increases in the
past fiscal ) ersl. Although the total w\as
comjnparatli\ely small, 62 transits for the
IL em. Issacl ShiPS showed the' largest
percentage- increase-close to 1,00)0 per-
cent. Korean shipping, also small nu-
