THE PANAMA CANAL REVIEW December 3, 1954 Mr W-hA05H) Gift ofthe Panama Canal Museum WE Vol. 5, No. 5 BALBOA HEIGHTS, CANAL ZONE, DECEMBER 3, 1954 5 cents COMPANY'S OPERATING RESULTS FOR 1954 TERMED TRIBUTE TO MEN, WOMEN OF CANAL ORGANIZATION "Operating results of the "&nb #lorj» ;£>fione Srounb" Panama Canal Company for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1954, further demonstrate the loyal and* efficient service of the men and women of the Canal organization," Gov. John S. Seybold declared this week. The Governor's declaration was made in connection with the release of con- densed financial statements "covering," he pointed out, "a period of internal changes and realignments during which the Canal, with a considerably reduced force, handled a record volume of com- mercial shipping." Total net income of the Company as tentatively recorded for the year was $4,160,010. On a comparable basis this figure represents a decline of $1,729,440 from 1953 when the corresponding amount of net income (adjusted to reflect prior year adjustments recorded in fiscal year 1954) was $5,889,450. The continued high volume of Canal traffic and reduction of working forces served largely to offset the effect of increases in wage rates, cost of materials, and interest costs that have taken place concurrently and which account principally for the current decline in net income.

Sometimes the housewives have a new problem for him to work on, but more often than not when someone hails him down it is to tell him: "I can close the windows now," or, "Haven't seen a termite since you were here last." As residents of the various communities become better acquainted with what pre- ventive maintenance can do for them, they will undoubtedly use the team's services even more than they are already doing. And that will mean money saved for everyone, when a series of little jobs replace a big repair project. In the meantime, Diablo husbands are finding life a lot more pleasant, as we said before. It's a lot easier to say, "Call Bill." than it is to unlimber the old wrench or hammer, any day.

Mummaw, foreman of the Diablo Heights preventive maintenance CARE In The Commissaries team. Working on the theory than an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, the Canal Company, about a year ago, began its own preventive maintenance program. The idea was that future major maintenance cost could be elimi- nated through advance inspection of quarters. This would allow corrective measures to be taken in the early stages of deterioration or damage. After slightly over a year's trial in Diablo Heights, the preventive mainte- nance program has proved so successful and so popular with residents of that area, that the program has been extended gradually to other Canal Zone communi- ties. Preventive maintenance teams are now working in Margarita, Balboa, and Gamboa. Housing people and engineers knew, from past experience, that most of the houses in the Canal Zone were given maintenance attention only when a defect or problem was called to thi' alt 'ii- tion of the Housing Division by the people living in the quarters. Generally, by this time, the damag i had gotten to a point where expensive corrective measures were needed. This, naturally meant increased maintenance costs.

  • Maritime Patrol Aviation: 90 Years of Continuing Innovation
    J. F. KEANE AND C. A. EASTERLING Maritime Patrol Aviation: 90 Years of Continuing Innovation John F. Keane and CAPT C. Alan Easterling, USN Since its beginnings in 1912, maritime patrol aviation has recognized the importance of long-range, persistent, and armed intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance in sup- port of operations afl oat and ashore. Throughout its history, it has demonstrated the fl ex- ibility to respond to changing threats, environments, and missions. The need for increased range and payload to counter submarine and surface threats would dictate aircraft opera- tional requirements as early as 1917. As maritime patrol transitioned from fl ying boats to land-based aircraft, both its mission set and areas of operation expanded, requiring further developments to accommodate advanced sensor and weapons systems. Tomorrow’s squad- rons will possess capabilities far beyond the imaginations of the early pioneers, but the mis- sion will remain essentially the same—to quench the battle force commander’s increasing demand for over-the-horizon situational awareness.

Four annual censuses (2002–2005) of three study populations, which were located across the isthmus of Panama, allowed me to construct stage transition matrices, and to conduct growth analysis and elasticity analysis. Differences between populations were highly consistent through time, but, contrary to expectations, hardly related to the comportment of smaller plants. For example, although average mortality rates were highest at the driest site, close to the Pacific, small plants were not predominantly affected. Similarly, although the highest relative growth rates (RGR) of individuals and the highest population growth rates (k) were found in the population with the highest moisture input, which was located close to the Atlantic coast, this was not due to a particularly strong stimulation of RGR in small plants. Elasticity analysis indicated rather small differences in the importance of the three demographic processes growth, survival, and reproduction for population growth in the three populations, but invariably identified the survival of large tanks as the single most important process determining k.

Thousands of other Americans also served tours of duty in the Canal Zone and Panama during the American Era, thereby becoming Zonians. This document is an Honor Roll of Zonians who served.
