The idea of the Civic department
is a community beautiful with cleaned
up spots and beautified spots combin.
ing to make the perfect result. Il takes
time and it takes work. but the at
tainmcnt is so worth while that tn,
members are more than willing to
give their time and efforts. There Is
II thing to be grateful for-Maui Is
not defaced with numerous bill boards.
Women of other communities have
had to make that fight before they
could really start to work, for there
is no more offensive sight To inter
fere with the beauties of nature than
such billboards. Worthy aims for a
civic department are: the planting Of
shade trees, bougainvillea and hibis-
Gus, especially the latter; the removal
of old fences, cleaning up of vacant
and other lots; establishing a park or
parks; generally beautifying the en-
tire community in ways that occur
from time to time the members.
March 25th is the date of the lex
Home Economics luncheon. This will
be held at the home of Mrs. w. o.
Aiken, with Miss Nance as assistant
hostess. These lunchcons have been
very enjoyable, and much that is in
teresting and helpful has been brought
out.
The next meeting of the Humane
Department will be held on March Il
at 8 p. m, at the Territorial Building.
Miss Couch, chairman, has asked that
others than those considered members
of the department take an interest
in the work of that department if u
is to be successfully carried on. This
is SO worthy and so important that il
would seem that every citizen of the
island of Maui might do his or her
part. If you know of a case of cruel
ty TO animals, report il, either to Miss
Couch, Mr.. Cameron or to a member
of the department.; if you know of
children not receiving proper care
from their parents, report the case,
and feel satisfied hat in doing SO You
will have done a kindly act and will
be helping TO carry on the work of
the Humane Department.
The beach Just below Waikiki has
been for some time past used as a
public garbage heap, but since the
county has established a place to de
post garbage there is no excuse for
this, if there ever was one, especially
as the spot is private land. However,
Mrs. Case and Mrs. Wadsworth, as the
committee in charge of cleaning UP
and identifying that section, decided
it must be cleaned up, no matter how
gigantic the task seemed. c. C. Con
radt Of the Newton Auto Exchange
heard of this and offered to do the
work himself, but the committee felt
it was too much for n hrm or indi-
vidual to do, and asked Mr.. Holt and
Mr.. Gesner TO cooperate, which they
very kindly agreed to do. The Maui
Soda Works and the Waikiki Soda
Works also sent trucks and men, and
in less than two days the thing was
done. This was a hard and disagree
able task, yet the men went to work
as willingly as though they been going
on d picnic, showing their public spi-
rit which is deeply appreciated.
Manager Penhallow of Waikiki Su-
gar Company, has promised the Wo-
mans Club the land where recently
the unsightly dump for a park
and it is to be improved at once.
The hibiscus hedge below Wailuku
is growing-thanks to those who are
looking after it, Mr.. VIM. Walsh
abs been quite wonderful in helping
in this, having laid water pipe along
the length of the hedge, and has ar.
ranged for it's watering.
