HAS
PLANS FOR MANY
new ACTIVITIES

Much activity IS planned by the
porated Tuesday. according to Alex.
ander Hume Ford who is largely re.
sponsible for the formation OF the
new corporation. He told the Star
| Bulletin something OF these proposed
activities
| The Pan-PactfIc Union will now
hold title TO the Hawaiian dioramas,
and may erect buildings for the nous
ing OF art collections and for other
purposes
Take Over Rest Houses
Taking over the rest houses built
and the tracks cut by the Trail and
Mountain Club, which now becomes
the chief home work committee Of
the Pan-Paciftc Union, it is expected
that a strong start will be made in
actual home work, organizing a staff
that will take up the needs Of all Of
the islands. L. W. de Vis-Norton, the
Hawaiian publicity expert has been
asked to prepare a report along these
lines, estimating the annual cost and
outlining the most effective methods
OF supplementing the splendid work
OF the Hawaii Promotion Committee
in getting people to visit Hawaii, by
taking care of them on all Of the is
lands after they get here.
Mountain Climbers to Meet
More than a hundred members of
the Trail & Mountain Club, who made
the great hike through Haleakala
Crater two years ago, will gather
shortly at a dinner at Laniakea to
organize other Interesting excursions
and plan to cooperate with the pro-
gram OF the Pan-Pacific Union.
Will Entertain Cadets
The Pan-Pacific Club is not idle In
its support. At present 1t is prepar-
ing its building on Bishop Square
(now really the property Of the Pan
Pacific Union) for the exhibition Of
paintings Of Hawaiian artists, to be
opened on June 2. On the 18th, Ka-
mehameha Day, the Festival of Pele"
is to be held at the Old Plantation,
the proceeds going toward the com.
pletion in permanent colors Of the
Hawaiian dioramas, and the begin
ming Of a collection of Hawaiian
paintings. On the 9Th Of June at
Laniakea, the Pan-Pacific Club enter
tains q hundred of the visiting Japa-
nese cadets.
Preserved Foods TO be Shown
The most important step the Pan.
Pacific Club is now taking is the pro-
motion Of an exhibit In the Pan-Paci.
nc building Of all Of the methods Of
preserving homegrown foods. A
luncheon will be held next week at
Laniakea at which both men and
women who have had experience in
preserving any kind Of food will tell
their experiences and make sugges.
tons for the food conservation exhi.
bit.
Speaking this morning, a Pan-Paci-
fic director said, This may be made
one of the great big things in food
conservation for Hawaii. For in
stance, Frank Cooke can show how,
when he was a boy, his folks dried
bananas for keeping the year round
He is also interested in making bana-
ma flour. Link McCandless makes a
splendid "taroina" that keeps for
years; =, w. r. Castle once built a jam
factory, and there are men and women
Of many nationalities in Hawaii who
can make exhibits Of the preserving
Of fruits. Australia has sent the Pan.
Pacific Club a splendid sample exhi-
bit Of her success in this line BY
getting, all interests together it may
be possible to start several new food
conserving industries. Clinton g.
Hutchins is returning to Hawaii with
his plan. for the use Of bagasse (of
which we have an almost unlimited
supply and from this splendid con.
tanners can be compressed in which
to pack preserved fruits and other
foods should the supply of tin and
glass run short.
AN exhibit OF rood-preserving
methods will bring out most valuable
ideas, and we should begin the pro.
paganda at once. The Pan-Pacific
Club will seek to interest the men and
women Of every race In Hawaii in this
project and the exhibition"
