PERSONAL SLANTS of an Average Man By John Bottle TRADE WINDS CALLING KAUAI (continued) Last week we continued our trip through the Hawaiian Islands, by stopping off at the Island of Maui, and taking a trip to Haleakala, largest of the world's extinct volcanoes. Now we travel to Kauai, the most scenic isle of them all. It is said that Kauai is to Hawaii what Hawaii is to the rest of the world — the ideal tropic vacationland. Kauai is the oldest island of the Hawaiian group, stands fourth in size, and is ninety miles northwest of its nearest neighbor, Oahu. The accepted meaning of the island's name is "Fruitful Season" or "Time of Plenty" because in olden times Kauai was the only island of the group that never suffered from famine on account of drought. There is a certain lushness found here that none of the other islands quite have. Kauai stands directly in the track of the Trade winds, and its very top (almost a mile above sea level), it has the distinction of being one of the wettest places on earth. Much of the year, Walaleale, as the peak is called, is not visible, due to a ragged turban of rain clouds. In shape the island is almost round, with a diameter of 23 miles. By traveling four or five miles, the traveler will find an astonishing change in scenery. From the sea is seems green and rose, the bright volcanic earth showing through the rich vegetation. On the windward side of the island there is very little rainfall, yet at Lihui, just a few miles away, the yearly average is 52 inches. A trip around the island is indeed an experience.

Owner Wins Suit Over Condemned Property A business property in Anaheim is worth only half of what its owner figured to get in a condemnation, but more than the State Highway Department offered him. So a Superior Court jury decided last week, in awarding $30,000 to W. L. McCain of Los Angeles for a business parcel and two-story structure at Lincoln Ave. and Thalia St.; it is part of the route of the Santa Ana Freeway through Anaheim. McCain's asking price was $60,-000; his own appraisers, however, had different ideas, one suggesting $47,000 as a price and another $42,-000; the state offered him $26,000 and he refused to accept, forcing the matter into court for decision of the jury. They deliberated an hour and 20 minutes before deciding the value. PHOTOGRAPHIC PROOF gee, Ala., has proof (lots amining his catch, a 10 f fishing from the carrier Philippines.

On the windward side of the island there is very little rainfall, yet at Lihui, just a few miles away, the yearly average is 52 inches. A trip around the island is indeed an experience. You will see tiny beaches of white coral - sand, ringed with greenery, and washed by the prettiest sea any artist ever attempted to paint. Along the coasts and through the fertile valleys you will see a sea of sugar cane and pineapple fields these are the staple crops here and grow more luxuriously here, than on the other islands. Near the village of Mana there is a stretch of beach called the "Barking Sands." By walking over these sands a sound is produced that faintly resembles the barking of a dog. A trip to Kauai would not be complete without a visit to Waimea Canyon. I had heard so much about it when I was in Hawaii, that I was reluctant to believe some of the descriptions. It seemed impossible that such a thing could exist on a mere 25 miles in diameter. Seeing is believing and I consider Waimea Canyon one of the most scenic marvels it has ever been my privilege to view. Waimea is not as deep as the Grand Canyon of the Colorado but I believe it is more gorgeously colored. Many people who have seen both remark upon the similarity of the two views. While returning to the town of Waimea after a look into the one half mile deep chasm, I was amazed to observe several ditches in which water was apparently flowing uphill. Members of our party left the automobile and took a close look, made a horizon checks' but still the answer was — water flowing uphill I never have figured it out. I have talked to various other people who have noticed it, but no one comes up with a satisfactory answer. However, you will see so many strange and contrasting sights on Kauai, that you will take them in stride after a few hours. If an Hawaiian is unable to come up with a logical answer to some question brought up by a tourist, he places the whole thing in the laps of the Menehune. I have had ditches, trails, stone fishponds and many other items pointed out to me as results of their architectural skill. I have covered just a few of the things that a visitor will see on a trip to the Garden Isle. The vacationist who is fortunate enough to spend a few days on Kauai will have really lived! P.S. The Menehune can be compared with the "little people" of Ireland or the elves and goblins of the European continent.

If It's News You'll The Bulletin McGrath Takes Pole Position in 500-Miler INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — Jack McGrath, a lean Californian with heavy foot, owned the pole position today after his record mashing sprint paced 16 cars in weekend qualifications for the 500 mile Memorial Day speedway auto race.

The championship was staged for the benefit of the Damon Runyon Cancer Fund, and the gallant Babe is one athlete who knows the dangers of that dreaded disease. Now in the midst of a remarkable recovery after undergoing a cancer operation last year, Mrs. Zaharias showed remarkable fortitude throughout the entire tournament. But it was in the final round that she really looked like the Old Babe. Ahead by three strokes at the start of Sunday's play, Mrs. Zaharias lost the lead to Louise Suggs after eight holes but birdied the ninth to draw even and then birdied the 10th to pull ahead for good. She wound up with a 75 and a 72-hole total of 299. Betty Jameson of San Antonio, Tex., who pulled within one stroke of the Babe with two holes to go, finished second with a score of 300, while Miss Suggs slipped to third with a 301. If It's News You'll See It In The Bulletin Track and Field Stars Expect Big Weekend By HAL WOOD United Press Sports Writer FRESNO, Calif. — The nation's top track and field artists led by wonder man Parry O'Brien, scattered through California today to get in final preparations for a strenuous weekend under the arc lights. They will gather again Friday at Los Angeles for the Coliseum Relays, and then fly to Modesto Saturday for the California Relays. But, good as most of these stars are, they have to stand back and admire the great O'Brien. This lad is so good in the discus and the shot put that even his own competitors have to admit that he is something special. It was O'Brien who stole the show from the more glamorous track men in the West Coast Relays here Saturday. He not only won the shot put with a very fine loss of 59 feet, but he surprised world champion Fortune Gordien by winning the discus, too. Two Great Marks O'Brien, who concentrates on the shot put, as witness his world record heaves recently in which he posted a mark of 60 feet 8½ inches, tossed the discus 184 feet, 1½ inches here to complete one of the great doubles in the weights division of track and field history. No man in history ever before had turned in such a remarkable pair of performances. "I hope to reach 62 feet in the shot this weekend," he told interviewers.
