...will assume full control over courts, police and prisons. Meanwhile, the U.S. Government is trying to make things as comfortable as possible for the remaining Zonians. They will have PX privileges at the army bases to compensate for their loss of the subsidized commissary once run by the now defunct Panama Canal Co. They will also receive free postage, and schooling for their children will be provided by the Pentagon. Said Major General Harold Parfitt, the 17th and last governor of the zone, who is going home to Texas: "There will be no tomorrows, only yesterdays, for the Canal Zone...
