Strikingly similar to the Greensprlngs, the road circles down into a beautiful valley on the other side of the Koolau Range tc Kaneohe, a small city of mod ern homes and the U.S. Marine air base. This Is the windward side of the Island, with a difference In the waves and the beaches, and from here glass-bottom boats take -visitors out on the ocean to look at marine life. Al one point the tour stopped at a charming House of Coral gift shop, where pineapple juice was dispensed "on the house" while the Klambassadors added to their souvenirs and chatted with the manager and his wife who came to the Islands more than 30 years ago from Scotland. Later they saw what looked like a crouching lion in the mountains and stopped tc view the dramatic Morman tem ple, with formal gardens and a setting which seemed almost Taj Mahal inspired. This part of the Island Is rural and agricultural, with sugar cane lining both sides of the road and a modern sugar-making factory at the farthest tip of the island. Driving down the coast, they passed a native in swim trunks carrying his spear and a sack of fish he'd Just caught, and noted that all the beaches carry signs "Swimming Dangerous." They passed through pineapple fields, some newly-plowed ready for the next crop, some that had Just been cut with the stubble still standing, and others near harvest, and stopped for a taste of delicious pineapple fresh from the field. After the island trip, they met at a Japanese tearoom at 5:30 for a traditional dinner where they left their shoes outside, wore ki monoes and sat cross-legged on mats at the low tables to be served exotic shark-fin soup, sukl yaki (with chopsticks the only im plements) and sakl. After d';iner there was Japanese-Hawaiian en tertainment, including hula lessons for some of the group, then on to another place for an Oriental show, and then to bed.

IT DIDNT HOLD WATER! I couldn't see his point when' District Manager Charlie Jones said that . . . not a a reason against chamber of commerce membership. I had to ferret out his real objection and it wasn't too long before he told me . . ."The chamber of commerce can't help our company'! butiness." Then I let him continue... hen ENT ON AND ON. "He'd be a terrific chamber member if I could convince him," I mused. For like any good sales manager, Charlie was a compelling speaker ... only this time he'd forgotten the benchmarks of marketing. The gist of his story was . . ."My company'! headquarters u 2.000 miles away. percentage in a local amliation. -,rW-V f ,aui 9 , ' . -Wz ''' J , BUT THAT ONE GOT ME, so I reminded him . . . "Having opened a branch here your company considers this a good place to do business. This is your home, and you, as branch, benefit from local chamber , activities . . . community projects, the other indu.lrie and new customers they bring in . . . everything ' ",y io helps your business." NOW HE WAS LISTENING, practically nodding in agreement, as I said . . ."You could give your home office a doien reasons for joining. After all, what's a better way to secure a market than help build it? Isn't any branch office's first job to make itself psrt of the community?" HE KNEW but I reminded him . . ."It's elementary to identify yourself wilh the leading community organizations." So Charlie threw in his briefcase. You should see it now though ... he packs as much chamber material as he does product information. Today, Charlie Jones is not only his firm's best sales manager, he's one of our best salesmen too.

"'.e runaway's radio was transmitting "valuable'' waathe:- Information. but "not what we wanted." i Lewis e-:Dlaned that the weether map for Siberia "has hitherto been a blank to countries outside the Iron Curtain." Tne Soviets accused the United States of launching the balloons from Europe to spy on installa tions of the Communist countries wilh cameras and other devices. The Communists charged the bal loons were a menace to their air craft. Poland In a complaint to the United Nations yesterday said that exploding balloons burned three Poles and wrecked their liv ing quarters. The United States vigorously de nied the charges of espionage and said the balloons carried only weather instruments and an auto matic radio transmitter to send back weather Information. The Americans said data collected would be of value for the Inter national Geophysical Year pro gram, in which the Russians are to participate along with the United States and other countries. The Americans also said their balloons floated at 30.000 feet, well above that generally used by pas senger aircraft. Secretarv of State Dulles told a news conference in Washington the United states has a right to send weather balloons anywhere In the world but would be "disposed to try to avoid the territory of any country which felt violent objection." p- (?) : - r I mm u .T u " v CUB PACK NO. 4, sponsored by the Mills School PTA, placed this winning pack window in Montgomery Wards window in commemoration of National Boy Scout Week.

University Of Alabama May Appeal To High Court BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (UP) The University of Alabama Monday night announced Its Intention of ap pealing the "Autherine Lucy case" to the U. S. Supreme Court. Attorney Andrew Thomas aald the university definitely intends to try to overthrow a federal district court decision under which it was forced to admit its first Negro studen:. The appeal is a separate action, however, from two federal suits brought by the student, 26-year-old Autlierlnc Lucy, protesting her exclusion from the campus because of danger of further mob violence. The university trustees "barred her from further classes after three days of rioting last week, saying she would be reinstated as soon as officials feel lt would be safe to do so. . . . and this big extra helps make First National Oregon 's Fa.vo.ntt Bank!

When she brought dual suits for Immediate reinstatement and for full use of campus facilities the university declared It would leave the question of her return to class entirely to the courts. A hearing is set for Feb. 29. Thomas said the university will appeal the basic decision, handed down last fall by Federal District Judge H o b a r t Grooms, under which Miss Lucy was admitted at first. The decision was upheld Dec. 30 by the U. S. Fifth Circuit Court ot Appeals. Thomas said it was the university's intention from the start to appeal to the U. S. Su preme Court in this event. Grooms granted the university an Injunction barring Miss Lucy from class until final determina tion of the caso by the Supreme make the Court and the Circuit Court of Ap peals upheld the Injunction. How ever, the U. S. Supreme Court overruled the Injunction. Thus was set the stage for Miss Lucy's three days of classwork starting Feb. 3. There were nightly mass demonstrations and finally, halls of stones and eggs aimed at the Negro woman herself. A legal observer said that ' so long as all court decisions to date stand Miss Lucv- cannot be barred from classes solely because of an appeal to the Supreme Court. Barring her for her safety is an entirely different matter, however, university authorities said. MARRIAGE FLANNED LOS ANGELES I Klaus Lands berg, vice president of Paramount Television Productions.
