Mr. and Mrs. Dwight Seward and Gary returned home, Thursday, from a delightful tour of the 50th state. In com pany with tneir daughter and family, Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Pierce, Kimberlee and Kent of Boise, they met with a group from the Harmon Travel Ser vice and enjoyed flight on a 747 Jet Airliner to Hawaii, on February 3. Not long after the "take-off*’, they discovered more Parma people were ma king the same venture: Mr. and Mrs. Joe Perecz, Jr., and Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Poulton. The next five hours out of San Fran cisco were especially pleasant while friends visited, and all made new acquaintances as the plane cruised 37,000 ft. altitude in bright sunshine above clouds that had been spilling rain on the mainland. The "Orchid Isle” of Hawaii, also known as the "Volcano Island" was so colorful with Poinsettias, exotic Anthurium, Red Ginger, and Bird of Para dise blooming all around. Large hybrid Orchids were found mostly in nurseries at this time of year. Here, also, were many fields of sugar cane being har vested, large coffee plantations, and acres of Macadamia nut trees. The drive from Hilo to Kona passed through the Parker Ranch area which is the second largest ranch under the American flag (largest is in Texas). Fine white-face cattle and herds of Holsteins were no ticeable from the highway. The City of Refuge near Kona was interesting but one of the big gest thrills of the trip took place when some of the men of the tour group went deep-sea fishing and Mr. Perecz caught a 9 ft. 3 in. Marlin weighing about 160 pounds! On the Island of Maui were beautiful jungled valleys, the Haleakala Crater (world's lar gest dormant volcano) and the pioneer whaling town of Lahaina where many enjoyed a glass bottom boat ride and watched a scuba diver pick up lovely coral pieces from the ocean floor. The Garden Isle of Haual had lots of tall sugar cane, pineapple fields, coconut trees, and a large dairy farm of Ho lsteins advertised "Meadow Gold Dairies”. A boat cruise down the Wailu River to a lovely fern grotto with strains of live Hawaiian music was extremely delightful. The last five days were spent 1 Adrian FFA Banquet Held Last Tuesday night the Adrian Chapter of Future Farmers of America sponsored their 32nd Annual Parent and Son Banquet.
