James Farra has been stationed in Hawaii with the Navy for two years now, but will be returning in February to Vallejo, Calif. One thing Ida especially took note of in her sight-seeing was the many shoe repair shops and the amount of advertising the shops do in the local papers. This was particularly interest ing to her in view of the fact that most people wear sandals or go bare-footed most of the time, even to school. She returned home Dec. 1 by plane and missed the big storm that caused a lot of damage to the island by the huge waves. She received a letter from James, after her return, and he reported they had had to evacu ate but a large reef off shore from their home broke the force of the waves and they had no damage. The Dick Wightmans visited the Farras while she was there and sent greetings to all. They report the Gazette-Times is the best read publication in their home.
