NzSM there. Well yes do
AalAN1 he had really gone
out there to see that wonderful place
of ours. 1t Is a kind OF a freak place.
BY that | mean that there is nothing
lust like 1t anywhere. While 1t might
at first suggest nothing but sunburn
and surf boarding, ukaleles and coca
nuts, when you really get ashore you
find folks working.
We steamed in to that wonderful old
Harbor on an early Friday morning, In
the S. S. Malolo OF the Matson Line.
After a fine trip. lots OF fun. good
weather, and whoever said that ship
rolled was some communist propagan-
dist. When they roll | am not above
decks, and | was above decks all the
time. so 1t certainly dident roll. ! got
q sea stomach that will roll just W
Jumps ahead OF any ship. Well we
steamed In and there was what they
called Diamond Head" We have the
Diamond Back. but the Head is a noun
tain. Its On old volcano that's seen bet
ter days.
It's like everything else nowadays.
its laying of. This depression has hit
those volcanoes too. And II you ever
law a sad looking sight Its a volcano
that's been hit by a Republican depres-
sion. They Just sorter sag In the mid
die, and all sides hang loose. Nothing
going In. Its a real depression. They
say that the Army. or Navy, has
sneaked In there and charged her In
nards with some Is or 20 inch guns,
and that while you cant see EN- from
the outside. they ear see you. 1t was q
fine morning and fine sight. Then we
spied the Presidents boat. the cruiser
Houston" Named in the honor OF the
Chairman OF the R.F.C. Then there was
another one laying there by 1t, | forget
its name. 1t was to carry three news
paper men who were On the trip. 1t
was the biggest yacht that ever housed
three men. All nice boys though and
deserved 1t.
Then we pulled up by the dock and
they start giving you those beautiful
things around your neck pronounced
lays, but | don't know how its spelled.
Then the wonderful Hawian band plays
a great welcome to each steamer as
they come In.
| got to my hotel and | had twenty
eight of those things around my neck,
and they were all Of a different, and
wonderful fragrant breed OF flowers.
thought they was all going to be paper
ones like those Hawian bands use over
home, and all yellow, but these are
some OF EN- made out of orchids. That's
running to q real wreath brother. Then
up to the wonderful Royal Hawian
Hotel. And look out OF your windows
right down onto the beautiful ocean,
and Wiki Beach. And guys coming
In on surf board as easy as a politician
can stand up on a Fourth OF July picnic
speakers stand. Right up above us and
kinder over to one side on a balcony
apartment was the Presidents rooms.
Had q lot OF bathing suits hung out
there. Made 1t look mighty ordinary and
homelike. | d ont think he himself went
in. But | bet he sure would have liked
too. He Is a fine swimmer. | know the
two boys were In. FRANKLIN and John.
Then out to drive and see the city, and
say its a real city. My wife had been
there before, and you know 1t Is when
somebody has already seen the picture
they start telling you the ansWers before
they happen.
But she hadent exaggerated 1t at all. !
dident get mixed up In the ocean during
the whole trip. Guess | am the only per
son ever went to Honolulu and dideni
take & whirl at the ocean. But | couldeni
ride one Of those ironing boards with
my stirrups hobbled. You know tina
racket Is just NANCY with skill. My kids
tried 1t. but they come in a new way
, they had the board riding them. 1t was
standing up on end right on their necks
That night Mrs Rogers and | were asked
