Henry J .Kaiser Plans Lavish Resort
To Lure More Tourists To Hawaii Isles
Honolulu, T.H. 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-

Plans were completed for a
food sale to be held May 21 at
Jacobs store. Proceeds will go
for the purchase of a table for
the recreation room at the
church.
Refreshments were served to

Mrs. Fred Cavin was taken by
ambulance to the Siskiyou Gen
eral Hospital in Yreka Sunday,
May 15, having suffered a bro
ken hip in a fall at her home
here.

home this week are Mr. and Mrs.

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."
