HAWAII When Diamond Head came into View we knew we would soon be in the 50th. state and have completed the first leg of our journey across the Pacific. Perhaps the first and most impressionable introduction to Hawaii is the beautiful blue water that invites the swimmer and surfer to swarm to its many beaches. Hawaii is truly the tourists' paradise, its weather being ideal and the accommodations of its many hotels conveniently located to Waikiki and the beach areas. Although Waikiki is well known to everyone it is not the only attraction of Oahu. The 135 or so mile ride around the island reveals the most breath taking scenery One could ever wish to behold. Many of the MASON's crew pooled their money and rented either a car or one of Hawaii's colorful candy cane awninged jeeps to make the trip which included such sights as the pine. apple fields, the blowhole, the Mormon Temple and of course the not to be forgotten ascent to the Pali Ccliffj where the King of Hawaii was supposed to have been thrown from. It is alleged that he survived this great fall and thus is renowned to be immortal by his people. Hawaiiis aborigines are fast diminishing so it is 3 treat to see these happy Polynesians singing and playing their ukeleles and dancing to the music for which they are so famous. The camera fan is in his heaven here as the whole island extends opportunities for the picture snapping photographer to catch its picturesque beauty and to bring it back home with him. Many of us visited the night spots but soon found that it was too expensive for our purse, but we did enjoy the Tahitian dances given in the International Market Place each evening, compliments of the Honolulu Chamber of Commerce.,
