continued due to the dismissal uf
schools in southern California and
the fact that ouitu a large per
centage of pro.spccts calletl upon
were not at home.
The committee feels, however,
tbut -the campaign carried on by
Mr. 1-uvIh has been successful, as
it lt expected to result in several
families hot ok attracted to the
Kukuu Hlver valley. The commit
tee recommends that the plan be
kept in mind and It is likely that
the same work will be done next
year. Jt will probably begin a
little earlier In the season so that
prospective settlers may be con
tacted prior to the expiration of
school.

ed 85 no contacts and 83 contacts
