lot of little ones everywhere. In
all of the towns there were Christ
mas dinners, while Christmas trees
the evening before were much in
evidence. In many places, picture
programs attracted 'crowds Christ
T.V nlas eve, and in tie later hours
Vf.' bands of musicians were around
serenading.
Christmas day all over the island
was much like a Sunday, people,
for the. most part, either staying
' home o r quietly visiting neigh
bors. Special "services were .held
in the Lihue German church, but
in other churches there was nothing
out of the ordinary. All business
was suspended.
There was a notable absence of
drinking v on Christmas day. In
Waimea the sailors of the Kinau
(who had missed their Christmas
in Honolulu) had a jolly, but very
order;y, "time." 'The nolice had
ery little to do anywhere.

Boyf Body Found
The body of Haruo Takemoto,
the boy drowned in Reset voir 18,
of the McBryde Sugar Company,
was brought to the surface by the
ovnlnsirm of dvmanite in the re
servoir, after diversjiad failed to
locate it.
Accommodations Wanted
A very urgent call is mnde by
the Kauai High School for accom
modations for children of other
towns of the island wishing to at
tend the institution. It is pointed
out that unless something in this
way is done the privileges of the
school will be lost to many child
reliving outside of Lihue, and
its mission as.au institution for
the benefit of the whole island
cannot be accomplished. Those
immediately concerned are hope
fill that some move may be made
m the next week or two to provide
accommodations for childrJR of
The other districts.

FIRST REPORT OF
PICTURE CENSORS
A short time ago, acting upon a
new section m the by-laws, Dr.
Ptitman, president of the Chamber
of Commerce, appointed a com
mittee of advisory motion picture
censors, consisting of one member
each at Kapaa, Lihue, Koloa, Ele
ele and Waimea. where the prin
cipal motion picture theaters are
located. The first result of this
committee's work was a report, at
the recent meeting of the Chamber,
from C. B. Morse, the member for
Eleele. Mr. Morse is principal of
the large school there. On account
of the fact that his report drives
squarely at the points intended for
his committee, it is herewith 'pre
sented in full:
Since being informed that I was
appointed to report upon the nature
of the moving pictures in our local
ity, I have tried to learn something
in regard to the subject,, although
I have been prevented from attend
ing many ot the exioitions.
I doubt, however, if the pictures
I have seen differ very much from
the ones you all have seen from
time to time.
The comedy, tragedy, and his
torical play, might be names ve
could give to the poitrayals which
we witness at nearly every show.
As to the comic picture, most of
us adults fail to see anything very
funny or interesting and we doubt
if much, or any benefit can come
to anyone from this class of pic
tures. I he tragic play, while often
holding the inttnse interest of both
young and old, contains much that
is of decided injury to the minds
of the spectators. For instance, in
a certain show, an indiau has been
dissappoiuted in love, and while
he is cutting the throat of his rival,
we could hear expressions of "mai
tai", 'maitai". These expressions
from grown men, together with
the pictures which call them forth,
must have a decidedly depraving,
and- demoralizing lnlluence upon
the young, whose tastes, and ideals
of life, are still iu the formative
stale.
