KEEPING PROMISES

1t is just a year since the present management took control of
Maui News and in its sautatory editorial promised the readers of
the paper it would strive TO give them just as good a newspaper and
news service as the community showed itself able and willing to sup

and to secure Geographic news service as soon as circumstances war
rantcd, and it is peculiar coincidence that the realization should come
in just one year.
public, the paper renews its promise to strive with all energy to give
TO the Valley Isle the best paper the communitv's sunport will war.
rant and at the same time to extend its thanks for the truly splendid
cooperation which Maui has given to it in the past year.
Semi Weekly Maui News will continue to be first of all an AL
Maui paper for all Maui, primarily a local paper, printing all the
local news, but at the same time it will supply the worlds news fur
nished by the best news gathering association in the world. 1t will
continue features that have been found acceptable and will speedily
add other features. 1t will be a family paper in all that the words

The Boy Scouts Column will continue to be a weekly feature
and will be published under the direction of the scout commissioner
each Tuesday. The Girl Scouts Column is also to continue and will
be published each Friday under the direction of the Girl Scouts conf
