PLANS MADE FOR
GOVERNORS TRIP
TO BIG island.

Especial star Bulletin Correspondence9
HILO, June 12-While the date o.
Governor Pinkham's approaching visit
to Hilo is not yet certain, Hiio viii
be ready to receive him, to provide
ample entertainment for such time
as he is willing to remain with Us
and above all, to give him all the DC
tailed information he desires. il
whatever form he wants 1t, concern
ing the nany public projects n which
this community is yita,ly interested.
He is expected to come about the last
week of this month.
Preliminary provision for all this
was made by the merchants at the
meeting Of the Board Of Trade last
Tuesday afternoon. There are at
least seven different affairs of deep
interest to the citizens of this city
and in which they would like to enlist
his cooperation and highly important
help. To see that all these subjects
are prepared properly for presenta-
tienrto the executive, separate COM
mittee was selected to attend to each
one. r..
To be more explicit, nine commit.
tees were actually appointed, but two
are to have charge OF his entertain
ment and the dinner at which he will
be guest Of honor. The naming Of
these committees and the hustle of
big preparation does not mean, how
ever. that he is to be "pestered to
death" with our troubles. which ar?
very big to us, but perhaps not 50
terribly important from an outsiders
perspective. The intent Of it all is
just the opposite, to make certain the
governor will receive every imror-
tant detail of our pleas. yet get the
sum total in condensed form. In 9TH
er words, the idea is brevity.
The committees appointed by d. E.
Metzger. president of the Board OF
Trade, are as follows:

While the program for the occasion
has not been mapped cut point by
point, it Is made plain the governor
win be informed on the various sub.
jects in way that will not bore him,
that he may feel his visit is truly one
of pleasure as well as business. r
Quite evidently the idea is to sand
him back to Honolulu with the impress
sion deeply imbedded in his mind that
this island is not only big in area. in
its land and civic problems, but fully
as large as any OF the others in its
welcome and hospitality The big is
land needs the governors sympthy
and cooperation, and it is up to the
delegation witch meets him to put
the best foot forward"
