Hawaii's Mother of Year Says She Outranks In-Laws Br MARY PRIME United Press International New York, May 17 -OD-To be a good mother-in-law, you have to out-rank your chil dren's spouses, says Hawaii's "motler ol the year." Mrs. Emma Kaleionamoku Ai Hausten, 83, should know. She has eight children, 17 grandchildren, and 13 great grandchildren. "I am still very powerful . as a mother because my chil dren love and respect me so much. I come first before the in-laws," Mrs. , Hausten said in an interview during a re cent trip to New York to the annual American Mothers committee conference. She was the oldest mother pres ent. Her name means "daugh ter of the islands," but "ev eryone calls me mama. "All my children are mar ried. We all get along. My girl in-laws are sweet, and the boys have nothing to say - except that I'm the best tutu (grandmother) in the world," she added, with an impish grin. Mrs. Hausten, who wore a pink striped "tutumuu" (grandmother gown) and or chids in her white hair, cred ited her long life to keeping busy. She taught school for 30 years, and has traveled around the world. Today, she is president of The Willows, a family-owned restaurant, converted from the old family homestead in Honolulu. Her daughter, Mrs. Al Kealoha Perry, who ac companied her to New York, manages the restaurant. Gardens Daily Mrs. Hausten planted all the trees and flowers on the place, and still supervises the landscaping and works with gardeners daily "so I can have exercise. I don't want to just sit, and flowers are what I can do. But they say I'm al ways transplanting things." The kindly, pixie-humored woman keeps an apartment and a beach house, and still does all her own cooking. "The children like to come back, especially the boys when their wives are away. They tell me they want to taste the old cooking. Well, they do!" she said, brushing aside her daughter's warning shush. Mrs. Hausten ' also is a member of the Pan-Padfie Women's Conference and has been active since 1888 in the Kawaiahao Congregational church - "the Westminster Abbey of Hawaii," founded by missionaries and hand made of coraL As a girl, Mrs. Hausten ' left her home in Maui, Ha waii's second largest island, to attend a missionary school in Honolulu. She was work ing her way through school in the kitchens, planning to be come a cook, when she de cided on a teaching career instead. She taught for. two years, then married and had seven children. Her husband died, and she returned to teaching, continuing her career after her second marriage and an other child. Then her second husband died. "I thought then, 'I haven't anything to give my children, so I'll work and give them an education. I worked hard. I had only two suits of clothes, but I was al ways clean," she said. Shows Wardrobe During the interview, Mrs. Hausten sat down only once. She popped up first to answer the'door, then accepted a din ner invitation from Mrs. Nor man Vincent Peale, chatted with three mothers, and packed suitcases.1 Then she unpacked to show her wardrobe of tutumuus, muu-muus and holokus (for mal gowns with trains), de signed for her by the Hawai ian Fashion Guild. She was especially proud of an ivory and silver necklace which be longed to Princess Kalania naole, and a gold bracelet, for which her pupils collected their pennies when she re tired in 1941. "They never gave anyone else a present like that," she said proudly. "I think they really loved me." " MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Or.

Children Enjoy Work In Spite of Themselves! 13 1 "Children are born knowing bow to play, but they must be taught to work," explained Car- ma Lyle the oth- er day. 1 was looking at the lists of work a sne makes out f, for her .bovg iw V each day and -LJM pins to the ! kitchen bulletin Doard. it an UMl L l jjyi uymii snuggle, she went on, "in .i - . . ini? aay ox ease to insist that each boy complete his tasks. But although they may complain or even do a little foot- tomping, they're usually hum ming or singing by the time thej?re through. And, too, the more quickly they complete it the happier they seem the rest of the day: ... - ' . . . And so every day when the Lyle boys coma home from school, each automatically checks his own list. Sometimes Carma has a candy kiss pinned onto each one, or she might sug gest that each look in his right Sunday shoe for a treat Some times the lists include "Do some thing nice for some one else. or "If work is finished by 4 o'clock, see mother for a re ward." Carma says now they check their lists betoro they even take off their coats! . combines perfectly with the oth er ingredients. Here s the recipe for you to try for yourself.
