The Merchants Association office
is now setting up a local credit bu
reau. To do this members are re
quested to do two things:
(1) Report all unsatisfactory cus
tomers to the association office to be
indexed in the files.
(2) Report all repossessions?if a
customer knows that it will not be
easy to replace merchandise, he will
not ha as quick to turn it back to a
merchant or have it repossessed. AH
are requested to report to this office
all unsatisfactory customer* and re
possessions. This is the first step.
All reports will be strictly confiden
tial and the source will not be revealed
and the information will be available
for the members of the association"

? One outstanding custom through
out this Island Is conservation of
trees. For instance, when a building
Is erreeted and there are palm or
banyan trees growing on tijaj'site,
they build around the tress. Since
there is little rain, lanais are used
whenever possible.
It it not at an unusual to board a
bus and to hear a group of voices
singing Hawaiian songs, accompanied
by a steel guitar. In some instances
these ambitious people are high
school students, although older peo
ple often participate. For the mostl
part people at the island are unedu

missing. The 'educational institutions
are of the highest quality, yet, ladk
of funds prevent many from attend
