man merchant ships in the North sea
by British destroyers is an indication

ON BEHALF OF THE BOAT CLUBS.

Support for the boat clubs of the city In their
efforts to secure permanent homes ON the harbor Is
amply justified the basis Of the value these CLUBS
have been to the city and the territory.
They have furnished splendid, clean sport for de-
cades; they have provided wholesome social sur
roundings and activities for thousands OF Young
men and boys; and they have been and are fine
promotion asset to Hawaii
Their plans now call for the establishment of club
houses along the new Pier ?. with basin for ~
yard swimming straightway The plans if carried
out will provide not only permanent homes for four
clubs but also a permanent swimming center
Yesterday an Associated Press despatch brought
news that Hawaii has been awarded the Amateur
Athletic Union 10Oyard championship swimming
event of the biggest annual fixtures in the world
OF amateur sport The holding of this race win give
Hawaii splendid publicity all over the United States
aid in foreign countries. Because swimming has
been fostered here in the past, Hawaii has had an
untold amount of desirable publicity and the foster
ing has been done by the swimming organizations
and boat clubs. "s t.@E.. - 3.
1t is essential to the future of swimming tourna.
ments well as to the future of rowing regattas
that the boat clubs and the proposed 100yard
straightaway be established permanently.
The board of harbor commissioners will meet at
$50 tomorrow afternoon in the basement of the
Capitol to discuss the plans for the elubhouses and
swimming basin. The clubs have worked out their
plans carefully and secured Endorsements from a
number Of business and public interests affected by
the pier scheme. What the clubs ask seems reason.
able and the board if there is no practical objec
ton, may well join unanimously in helping carry
out these plans. <s<>
