Tourist Bureau Takes Hold
After the meeting of the Maui Cham
Der, Lorrin X. Smith received the let
ter from the Honolulu office of the
bureau that he, as Maui member was
expected 70 make the arrangements
provided for in the itinerary and pros
pectus on Maui. He is a member of
the entertainment committee but was
unable to attend the Friday afternoon

a member
Chairman Aiken felt that the secre-
tary of the Tourist Bureau should
have communicated with the Maui
Chamber as well as with Mr. Smith.
All the members of the committee
felt that there should be some ar
rangement for Maui citizens to ac-
company the visitors on their sight
seeing trip to explain what they were
seeing and not to merely put them in
cars driven by chauffeurs who could
not furnish much information to their
passengers. If such is desired the
+ committee will be glad to arrange it
, Busy Day Outlined
Landing at o'clock. with drives
arranged for the morning and the af
} ternoon, luncheon and dinner provid
ed for under their excursion tickets
: there appears little opportunity fol
r entertainment until evening, except fOl
such a proposal as volunteer guides
5 The committee also felt that the itinel
5 airy arrangements should be such as
l would divide the visitors into two sec
/, tions, one to make the Lahaina triI
{ in the morning and the up country
trip in the afternoon and the othel
. to make the trip up country in the
g morning and the Lahaina trip in the
: afternoon. It is regarded as imprac
: ticable for the sightseers all TO go VI
f lao Valley at one time, for instance.
/ Would Avoid Interference
Under the circumstances the com
mittee felt that it should be informed
whether it is expected to do mor'
than have a committee of representa-
= tive citizens at the wharf to greet tn
l party and perhaps hold reception
or some other affair in the evening.
Mr.. Smith is to attend meeting o
the bureau before the meeting of tn
d chamber and Mr. Aiken has also gon
