GUIDEPOSTS And
WAYSIDE SIGNS
NEEDED. HALTON.
Promotionist Tells of Trip Over
HaWaii'S Roads; Congress.
men Favor Road Plan

! The need Of guideposts and wayside
signs on the island OF Hawaii is en-
phasiZed by Fred j. Haiton, secretary
of the Promotion Committee, who
made the trip with the congressional
party to the Big Isle.
ct was bully trip and wonderfully
well organized from tourist point OF
view" he said. THE congressman
were surprised at the numberless at
fractions of scenic nature that Ha-
wall possesses and also at the fact
that these attractions are not better
known on the mainland.
They were unanimous In the opin-
ion that If any spot on the mainland
had as many attractions as the Big
Island millions Of tourists would visit
that spot annually.
The need Of guideposts is as much
apparent on the island of Hawaii as
on the island Of Oahu. The congress-
men were all in favor of good roads,
which of course would be built prima-
rily for military use, but would also
be invaluable, from tourists point
of view"
"The question was raised as to
whether it would be patriotic for tour
lists to travel in war time, but it was
pointed out to the congressman that
the people who can come to the island
are those with the necessary time and
money, and that certainly as the war
proceeds people will labor under ever
mental strain and will need
relaxation of a nature that can be OBJ
tanned only by trip to the Hawaiian
islands,
