A leading university conducted 2,350 tests which showed that the 1936 Firestone High Speed Tire stops a car up to 25% quicker. You cannot afford to be without this margin of non- skid safety. You cannot afford to be without the blowout protection Firestone Gum-Dipped Tires give you. ■ M It was only natural that they have been on the winning cars for 16 consecutive years in the gruelling blowout test at the Indianapolis 500-mile race, and that they have been on the winning cars for eight consecutive years in the dangerous Pike’s Peak Climb, where a slip means death. Why risk an accident when it costs so little to protect lives worth so much? Have your car equipped today with Firestone High Speed Tires—the Masterpiece of Tire Construction.

    OBTIC01c 6DAYS/5NIGHTS CASABLANCA/RABAT/MEKNES-VOLUBILIS-FES/MARRAKECH/CASABLANCA DAY 1: CASABLANCA. You will be met on arrival Casablanca airport by your English-speaking National Guide and transferred to your hotel. As your arrival may be rather early, we shall arrange for you to check-in and relax after your long journey until 11:00 when you will be taken for a tour of this bustling metropolis to visit the exterior of the Dar el Makhzen, or King’s Palace, with its magnificent doors, the New Medina – or Habous area – designed by French architects in the 1930s to resolve a housing crisis and create a modern, twentieth century Kasbah - here to stroll through the reasonably-modern (1923) souk and on past the Pasha’s Mahakma Court of Islamic Law. A visit may be made (previous advice required) to the Beth-El Synagogue, one of the largest and most beautiful noted for its stained glass windows, in the style of Marc Chagall. Sunlight, tinted by stained glass, bounces off a gigantic crystal chandelier creating thousands of shimmering rainbow mosaics on every surface. The ark, the most important thing in the synagogue, houses the Hebrew scrolls and these are dressed in exquisitely embroidered velvet mantles. The walls are inscribed with gilded quotes from the Bible and the ceiling is equally decorative. We continue on to the elegant residential district of Anfa, the original site of Casablanca, with its green parks and Art Deco villas. Anfa hosted the Conference of Casablanca with President Roosevelt and Sir Winston Churchill, during which the date of the Allied landings on the French coasts was fixed for the spring of 1944 and where the somewhat difficult meeting with them and Generals Charles de Gaulle and Henri Giraud took place.

  • TIMELINE: US-Morocco Relations
    TIMELINE: US-Morocco Relations 1777 – Morocco was the first country to formally recognize the United States. 1783 – The United States negotiated its first formal treaty of commerce and friendship with Morocco. Negotiations began in 1783, and resulted in the signing in 1786 of the Moroccan-American Treaty of Friendship. John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, both future US Presidents, were the American signatories. 1836 – The Treaty of Friendship and Peace was renewed for an indefinite term. World War I – During World War I, Morocco, under the French protectorate, was aligned with the Allied forces, and over 20,000 Moroccan soldiers fought in various theatres. World War II – During World War II, Moroccan national defense forces aided American and British forces operating in the area. Morocco also hosted one of the most pivotal meetings of the allied leaders in World War II. President Roosevelt, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, and Free French commander General Charles De Gaulle met for four days in the Casablanca suburb of Anfa in January 1943 to discuss the war and agreed to launch their continental counter-push against Axis aggression through a beachhead landing on the French Atlantic coast. At this meeting President Roosevelt also pledged to do all in his power to support Morocco's wish to be independent of the French. 1956 – Following Morocco’s independence, President Eisenhower communicated to King Mohammed V that “my government renews its wishes for the peace and prosperity of Morocco,” to which the King responded that he would be a staunch ally in the fight against the proliferation of Communism in the region.

  • Moroccan Architecture, Traditional and Modern
    Moroccan Architecture, traditional and modern - A field study in Casablanca, Morocco LTH School of Engineering at Campus Helsingborg Housing Development & Management Bachelor thesis: Tove Brunzell Sanaa Duric Copyright Tove Brunzell, Sanaa Duric LTH School of Engineering Lund University Box 882 SE-251 08 Helsingborg Sweden LTH Ingenjörshögskolan vid Campus Helsingborg Lunds universitet Box 882 251 08 Helsingborg Printed in Sweden Media-Tryck Biblioteksdirektionen Lunds universitet Lund 2012 Abstract This thesis is about traditional and modern architecture in Casablanca, Morocco. Morocco is located in north-western Africa and Casablanca is the country's largest city with a population of 3.3 million (2011). Morocco has a long history with many different rulers which have left its mark on the country's architecture. The old, traditional architecture of Casablanca is in the old medina, Medina Qdima, which was built in the late 18th and early 19th century. The medina and the traditional Arabic houses that it is composed of are very similar to those in other Arab countries, and the structure of the medina and the houses follow the Islamic laws on private and public areas. The public areas are commercial streets and squares and the private are residential blocks, all the streets in the medina are narrow and winding and the size of the streets varies with how private or public they are. The buildings in the Medina stand very dense and the residential areas are built around a street from where dead-end alleyways go out, along these alleyways are clusters of dwellings. The traditional Arabic houses are perhaps better known as houses with courtyards, but they are also called dar.

The different stylistic iterations of the post Second World War novel offered by these writers, from Khatibi’s experimental autobiography to Izzo’s noir fiction, provide the basis of an analysis of the connections between literary representation and the changing urban environments of Casablanca, Montreal, and Marseille. Relying on planning documents, historical analyses, and urban theory, as well as architectural, political, and literary discourse, to understand the fabric of the cities that surround novels’ representations, the dissertation argues that the perceptual descriptions that enrich these narratives of urban life help to characterize new ways of seeing and knowing the complex spaces of each of the cities.
