Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1917-08-04

: w away out here in Honolulu We
W are getting closer and closer TO
the war. Last year at this time there
was hardly a night that the Country
Club was not the scene OF a party
for the younger set. while the days
were just one picnic after another.
with many a jolly weekend house
party to finish up with. All Of the
islanders away at Eastern schools
were back for their vacation. in most
cases bringing a visitor with them.
This year most of the boys are In
already gone to far-of war zones
of France, where they are doing their
bit, and that right we'll. And as soon
as our camp at Schofield stars, more
faces will be missed.
And the girls are helping, too.
Nearly everyone has taken first-aid
course, or one Of kindred nature, to
be the better equipped when their
b call comes. II is a time when every
little sacrifice counts, but 1t would be
too much to expect that all social
activity should cease. The horrois
and suffering Of the present war are
all too familiar, and a respite, how.
ever trivial, cannot be denied.
One can hardly tell when ones
dancing partner or dinner guest will
be called away AS yet no real or
ganized efforts have been tried out
by the youngsters. In California al
ready, the girls have taken to avia-
ton clubs. Why can't we have one
here? All our Red Cross work has
been in the hands Of the elder wo-
men, generally ones who have ties
at home which prevent their giving
the amount Of time which is really
demanded for the work. We have had
our tag and flag days, but isn't there
something new along this line? ON
Registration Day the girls turned out
gladly and did all that they could.
Even II the work does not turn out
just as was expected, feeling Of sat
isfaction exists for the endeavor, time
and thought given to 1t.
