Here's what a Hiloite thinks of the
recent Fair or Maui as it was pub.
llshed in the Hilo Tribune:
Il of enthusiasm at the achieve
ments OF the Maui County Fair, where
she had been one of the Judges at the
educational exhibit, Miss Josephine
Deyo, returned to Hlo Sunday. Among
the other Big Island people who at
tended the lair were: Harold Fisher
OF keeau, who was one of the judges
at the poultry exhibit: Herbert c..
Shlpman, judge of cattle, and Harry
A. Die OF Pahala, judge of poultry.
Maui ought to be proud of it's
schools" declared Miss Deyo. THE
equipment made by teachers and pu-
pills and the wonderful exhibit of
handiwork even by those schools of
only a room or two located far out in
the country, show what can be ac-
complfshed as the result of personal
effort
For the school exhibit, in which
only the schools of Maui county were
entered, the public and private
schools of Maui county were divided
into six classes. Glass A included
the six town schools. and Paia came
first, winning the cup offered by the
Maui County Fair and Racing Asso-
citation with a total of 80 points.
Waikiki was second, with % points.
Kanehameha III was the winner at
the fair last year. Each cup must be
won twice by the same school before
1t can become the property Of hat
school.
The classes were made up so as to
include all schools of approximately
the same size in the same class. In
addition to the award of the cups,
three prizes were given for the best
work done by the various classes in
each of the different exhibits. Miss
Deyo was much impressed with the
skill shown in drawing, paper cutting,
modelling, etc, one particularly fine
in rock salt. Others represented the
characters of legends, Japanese leg
ends. etc. Samples of work done by
the girls in crocheting, embroidering
and tatting, making their own under
clothing and dresses, attracted CON
siderable attention. The boys did ex-
~ceptionally good work with their
knives, such as showing what useful
articles a be made out of an ordi-
nary chalk box.
Friday was Children's Day, when
the grounds were practically turned
over to the children and the teachers.
On Saturday all the plantations de-
clared a holiday to attend the fair,
and it seemed that everybody i'll the
territory was there. Miss Deyo gives
much of the credit for the success of
the fair to d. c. Lindsay, who vas a
live Wire if there ever was one.
The exhibit was staged on 30
acres of ground, somewhat rough but
which will soon be sodded. The ter
ritorial building and three other
buildings were used for the exhibit.
A cafeteria was %improvised and good
food was served during the entire pc
riod of the fair to all who wished it.
Hundreds of visitors took advantage
of the opportunity, including the
press delegates. Iced pineapple juice
was sold "by the ~hogshead,' and it
was the favorite r~efreshment. The
tennis courts were turned into a
roller skating rink, and there were
the merry-go-round, ferris wheel, rae
ing track, swimming tank and scores
of other diversions to entertain the
m%ultitudes who attended.
1T would be nice if something like
that could be carried out over here
for Hilo and Hawaii" sighed Miss
Deyo. But we couldn't do it with
the armory alone. The entire second
story of one building vas employed
for the school exhibit at Maui, and it
was cramped and crowded. at that"
