Nedrys Enjoy Vacation
in Hawaiian Islands
By Margaret N'edry
We
returned home re­
cently following eleven won­
derful. relaxing days dis­
covering our 50th state,
Hawaii. We toured four
Islands during our stay -
Oahu. Hawaii. Maui and
Kauai. The trip was in
celebration of our retirement
April 1 from the newspaper
business, and in observance
of our 31st wedding anniver­
sary which was April 27. We
enjoyed seeing many of the
sights; tasting Polynesian
and Hawaiian foods; and
meeteing new friends. We
»loved each of the Islands for
'its special difference.
Our first stop was Hono­
lulu. We were met at the
airport by our tour guide.
Leroy, and were presented a
Lei and a kiss. Leroy was with
us for the duration of our tour
and did an excellent job of
arranging
accommodations
and getting luggage in the
proper place.
One of the highlights of our
stay on the Island of Oahu
was an afternoon touring the
Polynesian Cultural Center.
This center is a non-profit
activity of the LDS Church,
created to portray the arts
and crafts of Polynesia and
provide jobs and scholarships
for Polynesian students to
attend Brigham Young Uni-
versity-Hawaii Campus. We
spent a half day touring the
city which took us through
downtown Honolulu where
we saw lolani Palace, a
symbol of Old Hawaii. It has
been used as an office
building since the end of the
Monarchy. We shopped at
the Ala Moana shopping
center with its 155 shops, 35
restaurants, and parking for
3.500 cars. Honolulu boasts
135 hotels, and in the early
1940's there were only three.
We visited Punch Bowl
Crater, an extinct volcano
which is now a Memorial
Cemetery to our war dead,
and Pearl Harbor, where the
USS Arizona Memorial spans
the sunken hull of the battle­
ship Arizona. The ship rests
in 38 feet of water at the
bottom of the harbor where
1.177 Navymen and Marines
have been entombed since
the historic Pearl Harbor
attack December 7, 1941.
Our next stop was the
Island of Hawaii, sometimes
called the Orchid Island. We
landed at the city of Hilo and
visited many points of inte­
rest. including orchid and
antherium nurseries and
Rainbow Falls. We toured
the Hawaii National Park,
home of famous volcanos,
some of which are still active,
and stopped along the black
sand beach. The Parker
Ranch is located on this
island and covers 320,000
acres of which 70,000 head of
cattle graze.
We arrived on the Kona
coast that afternoon and
stayed in the new Hotel King
Kamehameha, located on a
historical sight of early kings.
We saw the Hulikee Palace,
once a summer home for
Hawaiian Royalty. One eve­
ning we attended a Luau

served in Old Hawaiian
fashion, with the main course
roast pig that had cooked in
an underground pit all day.
Coffee is grown in Kona,
mainly for use on the Islands
and the flavor is delicious.
The sixth day of our tour
took us to Maui, the Valley
Island. Here we toured the
lao Valley and saw The
Needle, a volcanic spire
covered with lush vegetation.
We stopped at the village of
Lahaina, once a whaling
village of the Pacific. Some
wonderful restoration work
has been done in this area
and we spent much lime
exploring the village. Dirick
was sure the tour was
complete as he played golf on
the Kannapoli course while in
Maui.
Our last stop was on the
Garden Island of Kauai. Here
we took a cruise up the
Wailua River to the Fern
Grotto, an evergreen cave,
where the crew serenaded us
with Hawaiian song. The
Wailua River is the only
navigable river on the 50th
state. Mount Waialeale is
located on this Island. It is
5.240 feet high and consi­
dered the world’s “Rainiest
spot.” Average annual rain­
fall is 486 to 624 inches and
this rain provides the water
for the Wailua River and four
other rivers on the Island.
Many movies have been
made on Kauai, among which
was "South Pacific.” One
day we toured the South side
of the Island where we
ascended Waimea Canyon, a
miniature Grand Canyon of
the Colorado, ten miles long
and 2.857 feet deep at its
highest point. The city of
Waimea is where Captain
James Cook and members of
his exploring expeidition
landed in January 1778 for
provisions. Dirick played golf
again at Wailua golf course, a
beautiful seaside course in
Kauai.
During our tour we saw
sugar cane fields, pineapple
plantations, sugar cane fac­
tories. coffee trees, banana
groves and many beautiful
flowers and flowering trees
and Banyan trees. We lear­
ned a few Hawaiian words
and especially enjoyed the
fresh pineapple and papayas
that were served often.
We learned from our tour
guides that plantation homes
rent for $40 per month and
medical and dental expences
for the entire family runs $20
per month. Other homes
averaging 1000 to 1200
square feet cost $55,000 to
$65,000, land is sold for $3
per square foot and yet many
persons with 50 percent or
more Hawaiian blood, live in
housing financed by the
government for one-dollar a
year for 99 years.
the Hawaiian Islands are
beautiful and interesting
places to visit, and everyone
seems to go all out to make
the Islands* number one
industry, tourism, a floursh-
ing business. Aloha and
Mahalo!

IS AVAILABLE
We have plenty of natural gas to sell to new residential and
commercial customers.
An additional supply has become available from Canada and is
under contract on a long-term basis to bolster the normal
amount of gas already being received.
In addition, Pacific Northwest facilities for storing natural gas
are constantly being improved and expanded. When gas is not
needed in the summer, it is being stored in large quantities for
use during peak demand in the winter.
Stepped-up drilling in western states is resulting in new gas
wells being brought into production. There have been several
discoveries already this year.
Another thing: people are being more careful with their natural
gas. They’re not wasting it. That adds more to the supply.
What does all this mean? it means that YOU can become a
natural gas customer right now... today.* We can promise resi­
dential and commercial customers an uninterrupted, year-
round supply for many years in the future.
Economically, natural gas is still a good buy despite upward
price adjustments all forms of energy have undergone during
the 1970s.
And what a relief to know that the fuel you have chosen is going
to be there when you want it. That makes it an even better buy.
Contact your nearest Cascade Natural Gas office right away.
*lf your home or business is located on a gas main, service can be supplied in short order. If your address is not
close to an existing mam, service can still be achieved as others in your neighborhixid opt for natural gas also.
