THE islands that are HaWan

chiefs, late in the 18th century.
when powerful Kamehameha, son
of a Kohala chieftain. raised a
large army, loaded his men into

to capture the independent
islands. BY 1900 he was chief OF
the island group, a fierce and un-

Kamehameha was pagan ruler

boys but, though we still carry on without Q loss, we lack that addi- tional profit which was necessarily turned back into the activities of the club. But like other organizations, whether business or social, we look better this year than for the past two years and hope that the means of carrying on as in the past will appear before very long. Although our deficit is about the same as last year, we still have 0 small balance in our reserve fund and are able to carry on for the present without Q public open drive and without any great unforeseen expenditure before us we hope to continue to offer to the underprivileged boy of Water- bury an open door wherein he may occupy himself favorably during his leisure hours.
 Aided Boys
 Many inquiries regarding tho place the Boys Club has in q com- munity have been asked us. The fact that the Boys Club is one of the oldest established public organ izations in the city has dilnmed the memories of so many of the people of the city. As has every Boys Club, 1t was established for the pur- pose of providing the youth and un- derprivileged of our city the oppor- tunity to exercise their physical en. ergies in clean, wholesome play and competition under competent and organized leadership. The need for directing those energies was there or clubs would not have sprung up as they did and the leading citizens of our communities would not have backed up the plans laid before them. I can safely say that 1t con. tributed in Q very large measure to the lessening of harmful tendencies in the boys of that day and has

BOY LEADERSHIP
 COURSE PLANNED
K. of (. Field Director, Stephen Murray to Di.
 rect Program

A meeting of the advisory board of the Columbian Squires will be held tomorrow night at 8 o'clock in the Columbus club, 70 North Main street, to make plans for the Boy Leadership program course to be held under the auspices of Sheri- dan Council, No. 24, Knights At Columbus, February 8 and g.
 This course will be directed by Stephen Murray, field director of the Boy Life Bureau of the K. of C., who also had charge of the Boy ology Institute held In Waterbury in the spring of 1884. It was fol- lowing this latter course that the local Columbian Squire circle was instituted under the sponsorship of Sheridan Council.
 There will be three sessions in the coming course. Originally, 1t had been planned to start them Saturday night and told two on Sunday. Owing to the fact that ten- tative plans of the Sheridan Coun- lei call for a Third Degree on Sum day afternonn, Feb. 9, 1t may be necessary to hold two sessions of the program course on Saturday and one Sunday night.

 MT. Combeilack's interesting rec port follows:
 For the past several years, we have approached the final period of tho year with the question In our AHAAAo OA WAAVvAAVk WI WOuAA bkAOW V balance or c deficit In our treasury. With every means taken to cut ex- penses, means taken to increase our income and, I am afraid, holding up necessary repairs and conditioning, we have not as yet balanced our irii- mediate expenditures. Many factors contribute to this, chief among which was the death of one Of our greatest benefactors and the resultant loss of tho annual contribution, also the lessening of contributions from other frlends--all without any great suc- cess in obtaining others to take their places in our community in support- ing this necessary public welfare. Through our untiring efforts In man. agement we had always earned our support within c small percentage of the whole unlike other clubs Of this nature who depend upon tho contributions of tho community for the greater percentage of their sup- port. But conditions in the past few years are altering our position In TO. spect to supporting ourselves.

tCOHfiHHed from First Pasel
The WPA drainage work. which
has been going on in lower Della
ware for several weeks, has meant
so much to the agricultural inter
ests, it is said, that the general
opinion is that it should be enlarg-
ed and more projects undertaken.
With the bitches and drainage can
ais cleared of underground and
thoroughly cleaned, the farm lands
will be helped. Thousands of acres
of tillable land. it is contended, will
be put into cultivation. and at the
same time the farms drained quickly
after heavy rains which heretofore
have drowned out many crops and
cost the farmers thousands Of dol
lars. Damages from the storm of
August %. 1888, would have been
much smaller, it is estimated, if
there had been proper drainage,
whereas the farmers are estimated
TO have lost nearly a million dollars.
