kinds of activities by which Maui is
building her community life.

ISOLATION is playing a zig part in the
life of Maui, certainly adding much to
make it a desirable place 10 live. The

ball under it's wing. There is also a
gun club under the association which
has put in traps, and will soon hold
a competitive shoot.
