The census is expected to cover 75,000 to 100,000 persons. The census is designed not only to count the population of the Canal Zone but also to provide data, for staffing ant^ budget purposes, to indicate the load which such Canal Zone facilities as hos- pitals and schools will be called on to carry. Although Canal Zone residents and employees will be asked, through ques- tionnaires, to provide more answers than- the annual police census has called for, all of the questions will be of an imper- sonal nature, rather than the somewhat THANKSGIVING'S Thanksgivina, even if the Pilgrims are wearing Guatemalan shirts and saddle oxfords.

The ship was remarkable in that it was the first nuclear-powered merchant ship. It was constructed with funding from United States government agencies with the mission to prove that the US was committed to the proposition of using atomic power for peace and part of President Eisenhower's larger "Atoms for Peace" project. The sleek and modern design of the ship led to some maritime historians believing it was the prettiest merchant ship ever built. This china embodies both the mission of using nuclear power for peace while incorporating the design inclinations of the ship.

(Valarie D’Elia) Valarie D’Elia was born into a family travel business dating back to 1902, when her great-grandfather booked his friends and relatives from Italy to Ellis Island in steerage class on transatlantic ocean liners as part of the immigration wave. Four generations later, Val took her first cruise on Holland America’s 1938-built Nieuw Amsterdam when she could barely see over the banisters of the gangplank and sailed on the original Queen Mary to Nassau with her travel agency parents. To date, she has taken at least a hundred cruises and is the caretaker of a treasure trove of steamship memorabilia and other souvenirs relating to her family’s travel business. Val has parlayed her family background into a career as a travel journalist, with a century’s worth of perspective. She began her broadcast career as a radio news anchor in Miami while a junior at the University of Miami, then went on to anchor and report for several radio stations in the New York metropolitan area before earning her master's degree from the Columbia Graduate School of Journalism. For nine years from January 1997, she was the talk show host of The Travel Show on WOR Radio, providing travel expertise on a nationally syndicated show airing in 100 markets.

  • FRANCE/NORWAY: a Book Talk by John Maxtone-Graham
    DECEMBER, 2010 VOLUME XXVIII, # 11 Wednesday December 15, 2010 at 6:00 PM - Seaport Museum New York, 12 Fulton Street, NYC FRANCE/NORWAY: A Book Talk by John Maxtone-Graham at the Seaport Museum New York John Maxtone-Graham, author of numerous well-researched books on ocean liners, will give a talk on his latest work, FRANCE/NORWAY, published this month by W.W. Norton & Company, New York and London. She debuted here in New York in February 1962 as the S.S. FRANCE, the French Line’s final passenger liner, replacing the retired S.S. LIBERTE and S.S. FLANDRE in transatlantic service. While a stunning-looking liner on the outside, her metallic interiors disappointed many ship aficionados. For those who sailed in her, however, she maintained the unmistakable French Line atmosphere, superb food and polished French service. By the early 1970s, she was losing money. The French Line withdrew her in September 1974 and laid her up at Le Havre. In 1979, Knut Kloster, owner of Norwegian Cruise Line, bought the liner and turned her into the S.S. NORWAY, returning her to service as a cruise ship in May 1980 sailing mostly out of Miami. She operated until a May 25, 2003 boiler explosion killed eight crew members and injured 17. She was sold for scrapping in India in 2006 and was fully dismantled two years later. Following the talk, John Maxtone-Graham’s book will be available for sale. A reception will follow. Please note that this program is sold out. s.s.
