Down Where The Trade Winds Blow (Continued from Page Pour) Hawaii can still mean romance and glamour to most of us. On our first trip down where the trade winds blow, we are thrilled as they who dis covered them were thrilled, when they first saw these magic islands of para dise rising out of the sea. To us, on our first trip, Hawaii is a veritable trove of impressive scenery, perfum ed Incense of varicolored flowers, and silvery moonlit nights shining with golden dreams come true. But to see Hawaii—the real Hawaii —you must get away from Honolulu, Waikiki Beach and the commercialized tourist spots. There several inter-island steam ship and airline services that offer opportunities for far-off sightseeing. Since the Hawaiian Islands in com mon with most of the islands in the Pac ; fic are of volcanic origin, there are to be found here several active volcanoes and craters. On the Island of Hawaii may be found the craters of Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea and the huge crater of Kilauea, where ac tive molten lava may be seen in ter rifying splendor. On the Island; of Maui ‘the magnificient extinct of Ha leakala, known as the “House of the Sun,” rises 9318 feet into sky. Seeing Hawaii’s volcanoes is a “must” for visitors to the Islands. On these off-trail trips Hawaii of fers the traveler many wondrous sights: placid, silvery lagoons; sheer cliffs; deep ravines; lovely waterfalls, and flower-spread verdant valleys of rainbow mist. And the hospitality and friendliness of the natives are most evident in many ways. At the first opportunity you’ll be invited to attend a “luau,” or native feast. At the luau you sit on mats of Lau'hala and Ma kalott, and partake of delicacies spread on large pandanus leaves or tapa cloth. There you’ll find in abundance succulent roast pig, taro root, poi, fish and fresh fruits prepared in the in imitable Hawaiian manner. At a luau you’ll hear the beet music the Islands have to offer, and see the native dances performed by the best native artists. Somewhere on your off-trail tour of the Hawaiian Islande you’ll try your skill on the surf-board, ride in an out-rigger canoe, and at dawn, when the tropic Bun is just beginning to paint the east, you’ll cast your net into the surf. Until you’ve done these things and seen these things you.ve never seen Hawaii. And until you have done these things, you’ll still be a “malahini,” a stranger or newcomer to the Islands, and ineligible to be classed as a “kamaaina,” or old timer. . On the Island of Molokai, although closed to visitors, may be found the famed leper colony, ' which stands as o monument to the life-long sacrifice and devotion of Father Damien, who founded it. Father Damien himself succumbed to the dread disease which he had spent so many years com bating in others. 'But his w<srk has not been in vain, for soon will rise which will take the place of the origi nal modest buildings, and where-will a modem, fully equipped hospital, be put in practice the results of Fath nsMorTciTl TO CHOWAN COUNTY | TAXPAYERS j •' ***■ ■ | By order of the Chowan County Commissioners, { I will on Monday, May 1,1950, advertise property j for sale for 1949 delinquent taxes, the sale to be j held on Monday, June 5,1350.

Molo kai is considered to be the most beau tiful of all the Islands; and it is fit ting that here in the loveliest spot in the Pacific compassion and beauty should go hand in hand. Probably by the time this story sees print, Hawaii will have become cur 49th State. Rupert Btooke once wrote a poem of the Islands in which was this line: “And new stars bum into ancient skies.” And if Hawaii is destined to be admitted to Statehood, truly a brilliant new star will bum in the blue field of Old Glory.
