On this occasion the officers of your Society tlke pleasure in extending to a.l of you their best wishes for a VERY MERRY ;iRISTiALAS sad a HAPPY :;NE YEAR. Fraternally yours, WALTER L. /EBSS Presidght -News From Everywhere - Correspondent Claude Ott of Mi- ami advises that chapter held a summer meeting at the R.O. Shueys' fishing camp on Key Largo. Visit- ors included the Charles Persons of San Gabriel, Calif., and the Anthony Fernandez on vacation from the Zone. The Miami gang's next meeting was scheduled for Coronado Park, Miami on December 10th, too late to report on in this issue. The James Macfarlanes of Hava- na, Cuba returned in September from their round-the-world trip lasting four months. Mac says, "the high spot was passing through the Canal. We were taken off ship at Cristobal, met at landing stage by Fritz Williams who showed us every courtesy and drove us to Gus Medinger's home in Gamboa. Later Gus took us through the cut in his launch and drove .s around the new town of Diablo Heights then on to Balboa lunch at Tivoli Hotel and visited some old friends in Panama. Rejoined ship at Balboa." Librarian Mrs. Mary Brewerton of Sanford, Fla., wrote early in October that daughter, Mathilde is living in Alexandria, Va. while husband, Cammander Blesh is sta- tioned at the Pentagon in Washing- ton. Son, Henry and wife were planning a vacation in Puerto Rico in November with a stopover at San- ford. Sada Page and Louise Hanna are expected there about November 1st for the winter.Mrs. Brewerton plans to spend the Xmas holidays up north with her children. Ezra Haldeman of Houston,Texas says he and Mrs. Halderman spent the summer in Wisconsin and drop- ped in on the Henry Griesers at Ann Arbor, Mich., on the way back. They have been helping the Lee Wrights get settled in their new home in Houston and entertained Mrs. Daniels and son, Bob, late in September. They were on their way back to the Zone. The G. Lee Wrights took time out from unpacking to tell us "as you know there are a number of for- mer Canal employees living in Hous- ton and on several occasions have had the pleasure of visiting them. Among these have been Ted and Mamie Sundquist, Milton Smith and family, the Charlie Palmer family, Joe Orr and his Mrs. who recently bought a place in South Houston close by the Sundquists, and Nathan Levy and wife." The Wrights and Haldermans plan to be with us next reunion. The September report from Mon- rovia staffer, Gus Hoecker arrived a day too late for inclusion in our last issue but the news is still of interest; Lt. Comdr. W.W. Jones, son of the W. A. Jones for- merly of Balboa has returned to Annapolis for a three year post- graduate course in atomic energy engineering. He was one of twenty officers chosen from the entire Navy for this honor; about thirty Monrovians celebrated July 4th with a potluck picnic at the home of the W.A. Naylors formerly of Gatun; another picnic was held July llth at Bixby Park in Long Beach in hon- or of Mrs. Leah Dugan with 35 in attendance; Henry Needham, quite ill a few months ago, is up and around, and getting quite well; Capt. Maurenus Peterson also on the sicklist recently is recover- ing rapidly since returning to nis home; Mrs. Norma Stillwell Martin and three sons have returned from Japan and are with her parents in Monrovia. Hoecker says Capt. Mar- tin's return has been deferred "due to a slight disturbance in Korea." (An understatement if we ever heard one); the H.M. Lockwoods and daughter Jean have returned from an extensive tour of the eas- tern and central part of the coun- try; Mrs. Dorothy Hoecker Welty and infant daughter, Frances of San Francisco were summer visitors with her parents, the A.G. Hoeck- ers of Monrovia. recent additions to this growing colony are the Harry Adams family of Cristobal who have purchased a home in Arca- dia. The Meade Boltons who bought in Altedena, and the John M. Kings who now reside in Monrovia; most recent visitors were the Sidney Randolphs. The mailbag is crammed full as usual with letters from Maine to the state of Washington and Flori- da to Southern California. It is pleasant to think that so many hundreds of us who were friends and neighbors for the better part of our working lives can still keep in touch with each other four times each year by this medium. The Tom Jordans write from Bid- deford, Maine that the weather has been so mild they have delayed their departure for Florida. The Jordans and Dick Taylors spent sev- en months at their camp this sum- mer and the Taylors were still there on November 15th. You had better begin packing, folks, that good weather can't last much long- er. The Charlie Camerons who have recently celebrated their 41st wedding anniversary are spending the winter in Bradenton, Fla. and we hope to see them at the next Society meeting. Beatrice Morgan writes from Brooklyn, N. Y. that she is busy nursing and sees little of her scattered family. Sister, Laura, Mrs. F. D. Sinclair, lives in La Jolla, Calif., and has three chil- dren, sister Jean, Mrs. H.W. Mate, is in Oak, Ridge, Ten., and Fern, Mrs. J. Gordon Wise is in Larch- mont. N. Y. Brother Bill is in Rose Hill School, Chester Heights, Penna. The Morgan family lived in Pedro Miguel for many years. The Society is pleased to wel- come the L. W. (Duke) lewises into the fold and hopes they find a nice home up there in the hills around Hendersonville, N. C. Re- member folks its only an overnight trip to St. Pete to the Reunion in February. Miss Minnie J. James, for many years head Saleswoman in Cristobal and Balboa Commissaries writes fromNew Philadelphia, Ohio that she use to be a member of the Chicago Society. Niece, Roberta Burmaster is now the wife of Dr. W. W. Walker, Memphis, Tenn., and has two sons, both married and both planning to be doctors. Miss James has been in Ohio for twenty- two years where she has raised four nephews who were orphaned at an early age. Why not join up with us, Miss James, and keep in touch with all your old friends? E. K. Brown of Tacoma, Wash. says he worked at Cristobal Coal- ing Plant from 1916 to 1922 and recently, after six years with the Air Force at McChord Field, Wash- ington, was retired on disability in March, 1947. The Browns plan a trailer trip to California and Arizona this winter and hope to reacn Florida eventually. Plan on being here for the Reunion, folks. Mrs. Gertrude Carr, we mention- ed in our last issue, being elig- ible for an Oldtimers pension she had never claimed, has been locat- ed and writes from Santa Barbara that she left the Zone forty years ago after going tnere as a bride. She lives with one of her sons and the other is in St. Louis, Mo. In an interesting letter from Corpus Christi, Texas, Dr. C. A. -iearne, formerly of Cristobal, tells more about John J. ioran whose passing is mentioned in the obituary column. The doctor says Moran was very modest and never mentioned his great service to nu- manity, that he married one of the daughters of a Cuban doctor in Panama and joined his brother-in- law Jose mistelli in the jewelry business after leaving Canal ser- vice. 'e wouldn't be surprised if he was the mioran of ioran and Ford, wellknown jewelers of Panama City for many years. ,earne says, "His modesty and self-effacement should be an example to all of us." This nero's remains belong in Ar- lington Cemetary. Lothrop and Amy Loring nave sold their home in Brunswick, mne. and have purchased another built on land Mir. Loring's father once owned in Yarmouth, eie. Mrs. Lor- ing says houses seldom come up for sale in that area and they were lucky to capture it. They are thrilled and contented, but tired from moving. Mrs. Oakley Vineyard of this town who is one of our most active colonists has an article "Why Flower Arrangement" in the Novem- ber issue of the magazine "Green Thumb Gardener." Walter C. Cope, retired lock operator from Pedro Miguel has purchased a home in Orlando, Fla. and plans to take possession next spring. B. R. Betz, Sr. advises from Topeka, Kansas that son, Bert is working in Kansas City and daugh- ter, Theresa Taylor lives in King- sley, Kansas where her husband is manager of a lumber company. They have two children. The Tommy Sawyers of Henderson- ville, N.C. were hosts to the Can- al colony in that vicinity on Hal- loween when they gave a kids cos- tume party. 'ie bet the cider had a kick in it. One of the most exclusive organ- izations in this city is the Three Quarter Century Softball Club. It has two teams waich fight it out three times weekly during tne win- ter season. Ae are proud to re- port that Canal Oldtimer Roy vic- Kenna after a long wait has final- ly made the team. Of course we can't expect much from Roy the first year but the club president is 94 so there is plenty of time fl -Roy. There will be lots of Oldtimers watching the Kids and Kubs do their stuff this winter. Thanks to F. J. Swanson for the 20th Annual Edition of the Kilgore, Texas News Herald which contained a picture of twenty-four oil wells on about half a city block. The Elmer Haws have moved into their new home at 10640 Rustic Road, Seattle, Wash. They had Dr. and Mrs. W. H. Grant and son, Bill and family, and the F. B. (Barney) Coyles as summer visitors. From rrs. Jeannie C. Perry comes word that her father, con- struction Oldtimer Edward Burdge, retired fifteen years ago, is in good health and living with the Perrys in Ellensburg, Wash. where they have a mink ranch. Mrs. Per- ry's brother, Billy Burdge, is mar- ried and living in Cincinnati. James W. Landers and wife, El- len recently celebrated their sil- ver wedding anniversary with a six weeks trip to Hawaii along with five other couples including the Billy Hughes formerly of Pedro Miguel. Son, Leonard, now with the American President S. S. Line arranged a party on the S. S. Pres- ident Polk when she stopped at San Francisco this summer on her way around the world with the James W. McFarlanes aboard. Among those present in addition to the guests of honor were the Billy Stones of San Francisco, the William E. Hughesof Pasadena, and the Landers. Son, Leonard and wife are now set- tled in a fine new home built in San Mateo, Calif. J. G. De Cora of Los Angeles sends greetings to J. F. Warner, Oscar R. Hunter and all his other friends, says he works with a bro- ker named Chester M. Alexander who used to know Bob Glaw well. William P. Smith of Phoenix, Ariz. says he was employed at the New Gatun Pumping Plant and other places from 1910 to 1922 and once quit to operate a moving picture show in New Gatun. He has been living in Phoenix since 1929. At last we have a letter from Irene Woods, daughter of Oldtime Conductor Daddy Woods who never let anyone ride for free if he could help it. Irene will be re- membered as the girl who held open house seven nights a week in the Woods cottage behind the Tivoli, presiding in a wheelchair. She was a wizard at hearts or whatever they called canasta in those days and we bet she is yet. Irene says she is keeping "Old Maids Home" in Richmond, California and hasa young couple living with her. She start- ed with them from Minnesota last summer to get her a rich farmer with a Cadillac but had to part company at Salt Lake City due to car sickness and returned to Cal- ifornia by train after seeingsome of the sights of Salt Lake. She sees quite a few Zonians from time to time and would love to hear from all the folks she used toknow on the Zone. You can reach her at 733 Barrett Ave., Richmond, Calif. Goodbye now, Irene. Please write more often. Mrs. E. C. Bartlett, new mem- ber from Vancouver, Wash., says husband Emin was a steamshovel man who left the Zone in 1914 after seven years service. Mrs. B., the former Minnie Whiston was a tele- phone operator at Corozal for two years. Mrs. Ella Piper of New Dorp, Staten Island,N.Y. says she had a wonderful time visiting the Zone recently, but the place is not like it used to be. Says the new houses are beautiful, but the old ones seem more homey. We hope to see her down here in February. Thomas M.Walsh of Newark, N. J. underwent an operation in August and expects to enter a hospital again soon. We hope. he will drop a line and let us know how he makes out. Clark and Bess Julien who left the Isthmus in 1917 are now at 407 West Hudson Ave., Dayton 6, Ohio, and would like to see old friends traveling their way. They visited Florida this summer and saw the Beethams in Tampa, Mrs. Mary Hunt- er in Orlando, and the Dennises in De Land. Genial Tom Shirley, retired from snatching tickets on the PRR, reports Matt Robinson and wife ar- rived in October from California for the winter, and former Cristo- bal Pilot Gus Kolle and his misses live in Russelville, Ark. about 75 miles from Hot Springs. How about being our regular Hot Springs cor- respondent, Tom? The R. B. Potters of this city were injured and their car virtual- ly wrecked in an accident a few miles North of the Cape Charles Ferry to Norfolk, Va. on Atlantic Coast Route 13. They were on their way back to Florida in September following a tour of the eastern states and Canada, and as they were passing a lumber truck the driver, without warning, suddenly made a left turn and the Potter car was driven under the center of the truck midway between the front and rear wheels. Mr.Potter escap- ed with minor injuries, but his wife sustained a broken leg and other injuries and was taken to John Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore where it was necessary to wire the break. The Potters have since re- turned home and we are glad to re- port that Mrs. Potter is now able to get about on crutches. De Land,Florida news from the Curtis J. Firestines: Dr. and Mrs. J. L.

SOCIETY NEWS Secretary Treasurer Lucille Judd reports there are still 59 members who have not yet completed payment of their dues for 1950 even though two notices have been sent them. While it is believed that most of these failures to pay are due to oversight it is necessary to inform all concerned that unless payment is received soon their names will not appear in the 1951 Yearbook which goes to press on January 15th. Please look at your Society membership cards NOW and if they do not cover 1950 mail $3.00 at once along with your dues for 1951 which are due in January. A HORD ABOUT THE "RECORD" IN ITS NEW DRESS: With this issue we be- gin the printing of your "Record" by offset which will enable us to include photographs and drawings from time to time, will be much less trouble to prepare for mail- ing, which is getting to be quite a chore for the volunteer workers here, and will we hope be less ex- pensive also. For those who may not be familiar with it, offset printing is done by photographing the material to be printed. The copper negatives are then put on rollers in the printing machines and the printing is done directly from them. We hope you will like it and we will welcome your sug- gestions for improvement. We will also be glad to receive any photo- graphs or other material you may consider suitable but cannot prom- ise to print as space will not al- ways permit it. When mailing mat- erial please explain it fully for publication and state if you wish to have it returned. ^F-iZ -Bulletin Board ---- The following Canal retirements, divisions, and years of service, have been reported since our last issue: Mrs. Lillian M.

R OF SCEQAL. IWltRe NINETEENTH ANNIVERSARY REUNION This will be the last "Record" prior to our next annual reunion, and in order to reach as many Canal Folks as possible it is being mailed not only to members of the Society but also to all of whom we have addresses. Everybody present agreed that the 1950 two day reunion was much more satisfactory and enjoyable than previous one day affairs, that we are mak- ing similar plans for 1951. The Soreno Hotel in St.Petersburg has again been selected as our head- quarters for all activities, and the dates will be the two days following Washington's Birthday, that is, February 23 and 24, 1951. The program for the first day (Friday) will be registration in the forenoon, with a business meeting in the afternoon beginning at 2:00 o'clock. The second day (Saturday) will be given over to a grand informal social period, the group picture, and the reunion luncheon. We are pleased to report that there will be no increase in price for your reunion luncheon. The price is $3.10 a plate including tip and state tax. Other reunion expenses will be paid from Society funds. We Zonians always have a pleasant and enjoyable time at all our gath- erings and this again will be one of those affairs YOU JUST CANNOT AFFORD TO MISS. It will make you YOUNGER AND HAPPIER just to be present, to meet the old crowd, to talk over old times, and to renew old friendships. With- out added cost you will have the opportunity to enjoy the sunshine and ci- trous fruit all of which will be a benefit to your health and youth. Last year those in attendance came from 21 states outside of Florida, as well as from the District of Columbia and the Canal Zone. To avoid disappointment it is desired to point out that hotels, tour- ist cabins and private homes are unwilling to make short period transient reservations unless payment is made in advance. However there are plenty of motels in and about St.Petersburg and it is believed the traveler can do better in person at the time of his arrival, than can our committee in' the making of advance reservations. Last year those traveling by automo- bile had no trouble in finding adequate and satisfactory facilities. For those coming by public bus there is an efficient room-locating service maintained by the Chamber of Commerce in the Greyhound Bus Term- inal in St.Petersburg up to 9:00 PM daily. This service checks room va- cancies daily and is a great convenience to bus travelers in locating rooms before leaving the terminal. As pointed out above the making of room reservations can be done by your committee ONLY WHEN ADVANCE DEPOSITS ARE MADE. The Society can not undertake the financing of reservations so those asking for them should remit for this purpose on the basis of $12.00 a day for the period of the- ir intended stay. When the committee can do better the balance will of course be retained to the sender's credit. Under this procedure the com- mittee will arrange the reservations and have the hotel confirm them by mail a few days before rooms are to be occupied. When not available in hotels, rooms in private honies will be reserved. We have always found such home facilities to be clean, desirable and reasonable in comparative price. MAIL YOUR RESERVATION DATA PROMPTLY. We must have it in hand not lat- er than February 15, 1951. Make remittances payable to The Panama Canal Society of Florida.

PRO PCOt MOSTLY CON 16 JOHN K UiXTER/ The next item on the agenda is listed as "Cld Friends, Old Clothes and Old Razor Blades and what to do about them." Let us first consider the problem of superannuated habiliments. I do not know, dear Sir (or Madam) what you do with your old clothes, but sometimes I suspect that you follow my own practice and wear them. I sel- dom throw away a pair of trousers until I have worn holes in the seat, which since I am a man of sedentary habits happens not infrequently, and coats I keep for years and years, intending always to wear them at least once again. Even when it is obvious that they are hopelessly shabby and not worth another trip to the cleaners I am reluctant to discard them. "That old jacket," I say to myself, "may be just the thing I will need if I am ever invited to hunt water moccasins in the Great Dismal Swamp or if as my contribution to the war effort I take a job in a glue factory." And so the rags accumulate. Occasionally I pick them over,as when the ladies of the Last Baptist Church (of which I am not a member) hold their annual rummage sale and solicit my contributions. I then usually find that any- thing I am willing to part with is in such disgraceful condition that I am ashamed to have it known that I ever owned it. To the end when I am forced to clean house willy nilly Joe the yardman is the goat. With what pretense of munificence I can muster I turn over all my useless junk to him. He thanks me very politely and as soon as my back is turned hastens to the nearest ashcan. To tell the truth he is a much more fastidious dresser than I am. I value old friends no less than old clothes, as who would not, but I am afraid that there -are many people in the world who might find this hard to believe. They might say that I do not practice what I preach. I look at it this way. If a man were born in Dogpatch, lived in Dogpatch all his days and died in Dogpatch, the friends of his youth might remain the friends of his middle life and the friends of his old age, unless as one dull year followed another he grew heartily sick and tired of his neigh- bors that he ended hating them one and all. But in these days we are all nomads. Drifting about the planet we make friends in many places, and good friends too for a while, but when we move on, if we do not actually forget them, their memory grows dim. Consider your college friends of the grand old class of nineteen-whatever-it-may-have-been. Think of your buddies in the trenches. Think of the dozens of merry companions with whom at one time or another and in one place or another you "gloried and drank deep." Do you ever see them, do you ever think of them, do you even know whether they are alive or dead, and finally do you very much care? the answer is in the negative. What happens is this. When you first left West Hohokus you truly missed good old Hank Gumbo with whom you had downed enough Old Rubber Boot (bottled in bond) to fill the Gatun Locks. You and Hank were resol- ved to keep in touch with one another and to get together as often as you possibly could. For a while you wrote to Hank almost every week, then every few months, then once a year at least, although it was hard to find anything to write about in which he could possibly be interested. In the end a card at Christmas seemed enough. Last summer on your way north you stopped overnight at West Hohokus. It was the first time you had been there in years. Did you look up Hank? I'll say you did not. You ate a good dinner, read the evening paper and turned in, planning to get an ear- ly start the next morning. You may have felt vaguely guilty and ashamed, but that is what you did. You just didn't want to bother with old Hank. Don't get me wrong. Old friends are fine and old friendships should be kept green when it can be done. But for practical purpose and a ration- al enjoyment of life new friends, if present, are more useful. A man who has not grown too mean and ornery should try to make a few each year. We proposed also in this issue to consider the problem of what should be done with old razor blades. That can be disposed of very shortly. There is just nothing useful that can be done with old razor blades. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year From JIMMY BERGIS Real Estate Associated With Robert E.
