GOVERNOR COMING
FOR CELEBRATION

The delegates from the Worlds
Press Congress are not coming to
Kauai. But the Nawiliwili breakwa-
ter celebration, which was to have
been held in conjunction with the en-
tertainment of the press delegates, is
going to be staged just the same. 1t
is a disappointment not to have the
editors with us but we are not going
to let our sorrow break up the party
by any means.
On Friday afternoon October 2Sth
the commencement of work on the
Nawiliwili breakwater will be celebrat-
ed with fitting program. Promptly at
O'Clock President Wishard of the
Kauai Chamber of Commerce will
start the ceremonies. He will tell
briefly what the project means to Ka
uai and to the territory. He will then
introduce Governor Wallace r. Far
rington, who will make the address of
the afternoon.
The program at the breakwater will
be brief. After Governor Farrington's
address the climax of the celebration
will be reached when G. N. Wilcox
who has done so much for the break
water project, pulls the rope which re-
leases the first stone of the break
water. In this work Mr.. Wilcox will
also be assisted by Mr.. Wishard Mu-
sic for the occasion will be furnished
by Honolulu naval band.
After the program which has been
arranged the visitors will have plenty
of time to look the entire project over
before returning to their homes or to
the evening banquet.
On Friday evening the Chamber OF
Commerce is to hold their annual ban
quet in the Lihue armory. The feast
is to begin promptly at $50. All the
members of the chamber are receiv-
ing printed invitations from President
Wishard to attend and to bring their
wives and other guests. Members are
being sent cards to return stating
whether or not they will attend and
how many guests they will bring.
These cards must be returned at an
early date so that the committee will
know just how many plates to serve.
President Wishard will act as toast
master for the occasion. He has sent
a special invitation to the Governor to
attend and to speak to the diners.
Governor Harrington has accepted and
will be the main speaker of the even
ing.
The Chamber of Commerce has also
sent invitations to the delegates to
the congress, Prince Kalanianaole, to
Major General Charles p. Summerall
and staff, to Brigadier General John
ID. Barrette and staff, to Brigadier
General Joseph E. Kuhn and staff, to
Rear Admiral Edward Simpson and
staff, to Lyman II. Bigelow, chairman
of the Harbor Board and to other mem
bers of the board and to Senator Ro-
bert Shingle to attend the celebration
and banquet. Several of these men, as
we'll as one or two Kauai men will be
asked to speak at the banquet. And
so an excellent program is assured.
The American Legion has invited
some minesweepers and Eagle boats
to attend and to furnish music at the
celebrations. 1t is probable that a
number of the sailors will be able to
attend the evening banquet also to fur
nish music for the occasion. The Am
erican Legion members have been is
sued an invitation to attend the Cham
ber of Commerce banquet as special
guests.
Governor harrington and other Ho-
nolulu celebreties who are coming for
the occasion will arrive on the Kinau
Friday morning, October 2S. They
will be entertained at the home of Ka-
uai citizens. After all the celebrations
they will return to Honolulu Saturday
night.
