Automobile Clubs First Run
Proves to Be Successful One
More Than 200 Members of Automobile Organization Visit
SchofieId and KaWaioa-E. E. Dodge Handles Arrange
ments for Big Tou-Stop Made at HaleiWa for Lunch
Majority of Members Believe Runs Should Be Feature OF Club

Members of the Honolulu Automo-
bile club celebrated their first real
automobile run on Thursday after
noon, when more than--200 of the
colony of local, motorists made the
run to Schofield and Kawailoa! The
first run was successful enough to in
sure the staging of other runs in the
very near future. ..<.-
e. e. Dodge, chairman of the exhibit
ton committee of the club, had the
affair in hand, and to say that he
handled it in real fashion would be
saying it mildly. From beginning 10
end the run proved to be a real suc-
cess, and means more runs for the
progressive organization.
A Real Success
More than 60 machines were lined
up in front of the Young hotel on
Thursday morning, and E. E. Dodge,
ably assisted by S. S. Paxson and
George Marshall, looked after the ar
engagements. Everyone who wanted
to make the trip was accommodated
and one man who didn't care to go
was forced to make the tour. When
he returned he expressed his entire
satisfaction, and bought a round to
show his appreciation.
The need for good roads was en-
phasized number of times, and a few
of the unlucky members were forced
to stop along the wayside when they
ran into some broken glass. A few
years ago broken glass was scattered
all along the road to Sehofield. Since
the Automobile club began campaign
against this evil there has been little
complaint.
Stop at SchofieId
The party arrived at Schofield in
time for the review and the long line
of automobiles made pretty back
ground for the marching men. Fol-.
lowing the review. the motorists
journeyed to the Haleiwa hotel where
an excellent lunch was served at the
Haleiwa hotel. -.
During the lunch at the hotel num-
Der of the boosters of the club dis
cussed the road situation, and Jack
Belser, president of the organization,
brought out the point that Oahu need
ed permanent roads. He cited num-
Der of instances where a permanent
road brought real results, and finally
convinced his hearers that the real
road was the one which was built to
last. ...... =. =
A big majority of the members who
made the run appear to be strongly in
favor of continuing the good work.
The consensus of opinion appears to
be that with more runs staged, there
would be an added interest in the
club. "
Wayne Endorses Run
Arthur Wayne, manager of SMOOTH
Steinhauser, made the trip to the re-
view and training camp and was very
much impressed with the showing
made by the club. Mr.. Wayne was
accompanied by Mrs. Wayne. In a
talk the other day Mr.. Wayne said
that he was in favor of such programs
as it meant much to the interest in
motoring, and believed that the runs
would bring about more agitation for.
good roads.
E. E. BODICE said on the day of the
run that the tour to Schofield and
Kawailoa was only the beginning. and
the committee would work on plans
for other runs in the near future. The
fact that the first real run of the club
was success, insures a banner at
tendance at the next tour of the or
ganization
