factory in the world. Some stopped
at the NJ. A Co. Mill at Paia as well
and a explained to them something
of the pioneering of hat company in

every car went out to Haiku. The
two pineapple %canneries were of the
deepest interest to the sightseers.
They sampled slices of the luscious
fruit as they stood by the c%onveyors
or the packing tables and came back
for more samples, and some for still
more. Many called at the packing
rooms n were given cans of the
Hawaiian product to take away as
s~ouveniers. Hawaiian packed pines

number. For a time the Luau Com

can were worried but they had pro-
vided so bountifully hat there was
enough for all of chicken, mullet, lau-
laus, opihi, shrimps, seaweed, taro
!: tops lomilomi salmon, cocoanut pud-
ding, haupia and other good things.
!: While the guests were entering
!: william Hoopii and a number of wo-
men and girl singers furnished music
and during the feast they rendered
!: several numbers most pleasingly.

typlcally Hawaiian and entirely free
from modern furnishings and ana
chronisms.
