About this postcard

A notice announces a weekend program for DeMolays in Balboa: Atlantic Chapter's Saturday visit, with supper at 6:30 and the chapter opening at 7:30, followed by a Sunday assembly at the Temple in time for the 9:00 ferry to swimming and food at Far Fan (likely Farfan). By 1933, DeMolay, the Masonic-affiliated youth group, had chapters in Canal Zone communities. The schedule pairs a formal chapter meeting with a recreational outing, a mix of business and leisure that suited the close-knit American community around the Canal.
