Canal Zone Amusements Help Keep Workers at Isthmus
Canal Zone workers and families receive organized recreation from the Young Men’s Christian Association. Clubhouses, games, classes, and outings reduce homesickness, with seven hubs across Portobello to Gatun and Gorgona. Women's clubs and religious activities also aid retention, while trains limit late-night temptations in Panama City and Colon.
