ULR) Indus trialist Henry J. Kaiser, who came to Hawaii for a vacation 15 months ago and is still here, wants to spend $110,000,000 on a resort development to lure more tourists to the islands. The tourists are eager to come, he believes. What Hawaii needs is a place to put them. The territory also needs more tourist business to take up the slack in her economy, where government activities and the sugar and pineapple industries leave off. Kaiser's answer is a $20,000, 000. project to create an 18-acre eyesore area on Waikiki Beach into the biggest single resort ever developed in the islands. There would also be a $50,000, 000 resort on a man-made island off Waikiki, and a $40,000,000 development on the Kona coast of the island of Hawaii, 200 miles southeast of Honolulu. New Industry in New Era "The vacation business is new industry in a new era," the 73-year-old former shipbuilder said in an interview. "People are getting twice as much vaca tion time as they used to. Right there you have a 100 per cent increase in the vacation indus try." Kaiser said Hawaii is the roost likely , spot to draw tourists be cause it is the only truly year round resort area accessible to most Americans. "There's a need for more vaca tion facilities a human need. I've always found you could be successful wherever you could find a human need and make an effort to fill it," he said. Kaiser and his wife came to Hawaii in February, 1954, for a visit. They soon succumbed to the lure of the islands and bought a beach' home in the luxurious Kahala district for $187,000. Since then Kaiser and a team of experts have been knee deep in plans for the resort develop- Hornbrook Hornbrook Womens Society of the Methodist Community church met May 12 at the home of Mrs. Arden Burns. The busi ness meeting was opened by the president, Mrs. Thomas Watt. De votionals and prayer were by Mrs. Burns. Plans were completed for a food sale to be held May 21 at Jacobs store.

Chapman," Carroll Funk, Fred Blooming camp, Floyd Burns, Thomas Watt and L. E. Breceda by the hostess, Mrs. Burns.

One phase is expected to be a fabulous hotel similar to Miami's new Fontainbleau. The Ha w a i i development doesn't f mean Kaiser is pulling out of any of the other big deals he is involved in, such as a $40, 000,000 project to build autos for Argentina and a $56,000,000 contract to bore a 13-mile tun nel through solid rock and then build a dam in Australia. But the tourist enterprise has a special interest for the man who is most famous for his ship building exploits in World War II. "You see, when I was 22 I decided Florida never would de velop a tourist business and passed up a chance to be in on the ground floor there. Then I went on to figure that Palm Springs and Las Vegas were des ert sand traps and always would be. "I don't want to miss the boat again." Buying MILK Today?
