vantage must be taken of the oppor-
tunity not only to show what Maui
has, but waht Maui needs, to set Maui

through the ehads of the public press.
To do this it was recognized that the
efforts must be made along distinctive
Maui lines and that every one must
put his shoulder to the wheel The
job was too big for a committee of the
size of the one that had thus far had
