I The foregoing statement outlines in
brief the duties Of the members Of the
Outdoor Committee" an Organization

ton in Hawaii, and concentrating
support thereof.
( The members of the Outdoor Com
mittee" are Guy H. futile, chairman;
Harry l.. Strange. Alexander Hume
Ford, Lorrin A. Thurston and H.
Cooling FielG.
The suggested plan, by the adoption
of which the Outdoor Committee
was created, is. in full, as follows:
Il. The Promotion Committee to
appoint a committee of, say. five per-
soRs who are specially interested in
outdoor work, to be known as the
Outdoor Committee" who shall have
charge of promoting the establish
ment of tourist routes, trips and &C
commodation throughout the islands,
and to promote the travel, entertain
ment, ard pleasure of tourists and
others who may be living either per-
manently or temporarily in Hawaii.
%. The Promotion Committee to
appoint on nomination of such Out
door Committee an executive officer
TO carry. on the work above enumer-
ated.
"3. Such executive officer shall
render all material assistance posi-
bic In the general work Of the Promo
ton Committee, which will not inter
fere with his special duties in connec-
ton with said work
Il. The Promotion Committee shall
appropriate from time to time such
money as it thinks best for the >puf-
poses of the said work which shall be
expended by said executive officer, I'M
consultation with and under the di-
rectioff of the Outdoor Committee. =,
."5.r If funds are specially donated
from any source for the purposes
above set forth, they shall be expend-
ed in like manner with those furnish!
ed by the Promotion Committee. :,
&c. All moneys expended on said
work, irrespective of the source, shall
be properly accounted for to the, Pro-
motion Committee at the end Of each
calendar month; together with a re-
port OF the proceedings of the Outdoor
Committee and what Is being accom-
plished in connection with the fore
going objects. -,
~. The Promotion Committee, shall
have the complete control of all of
the work and persons hereinbefore
referred to-" -
Speaking Of the action of the Pro-
motion Committee. this morning. a
member of the Outdoor Committee"
said: .h...
''All credit is due Mr.. Thurston for
his splendid work. For six years those
of us interested in the outdoor clubs
have been seeking to bring. - 1T a
working plan with the PromO n
Committee, and Mr.. Thurston has now
accomplished this. Perhaps the re-
marks of two of the directors Of the
Promotion Committee will have a
greater effect in binding the workers
together than any other one cause.
These two directors held that with
the personnel of the Outdoor Commit
tee it was safe for the Promotion
Committee to trust them entirely in.
whatever they attempted to do for
Hawaii Confidence begets confidence
and now it seems that the dream of
years is to be realized-that we are
all to work together for Hawaii.
The selection of Guy H. futile as
chairman was excellent. Mr.. futile
as a malihini accepted the secretary
ship of the .Outrigger Canoe Club
five years ago. For the past two,
years he has been president of that
organization, and is carrying it
through to splendid prosperity. He
was one of the organizers and first
president of the Hawaiian Amateur
Athletic Union. carrying that sue
cessfulIy through the first two years
of organization. Mr.. Tuttle is an
ideal chairman.
"The part that the Outrigger Canoe
Club had in organizing the committee
pamed by the Promotion Committee
rests merely in the fact that it was
an Outrigger Club member who sug-
gested at an AID Club meeting that
Fl. L. Strange be appointed chairman
of an 'Ad Club Tourist Committee
with power to select others. He Sc
lected Mr.. Thurston as representing
the Trail and Mountain Club; H.
Cooling Field, secretary of the Ha-
wall Tuna Club; G. H. futile, presi-
dent of the Outrigger Club, and AL
exander Hume Ford was invited to
join the committee as representing
the Observation-Disclosures Move
ment MIR. Strange has been the life
of this committee for the several
weeks of its existence, building up
the outdoor weekend parties until
now they almost run OF themselves. |
He is still chairman of the Ad Club |
Tourist Committee, the personnel of
which is identical with that appointed
as an outdoor committee by the Pro-
motion Committee. The two will
probably merge into one with Mr.. Tut
tie as chairman, but its thanks will be |
heartfelt and sincere to Harry l..
