OPENING OF THE
THE COUNTY FAIR
"The First, Annual Kauai County Fair"
was a big success. Not that the fair was real
ly the first annual, but it must be. . The idea
is so good, the response was so hearty, the
exhibits so excellent and the start so auspi
cious that an annual fair for Kauai is fully
justified.
The idea and much of the work was Sher
iff "Wm. II. Hice's. He got the fair up, nom
inally to raise money for supplying the arm
ory with chairs, really to see if an annual
fair on Kauai would be a worth-while pro
ject. Both, the nominal and real objects were
obtained. Enough money was made to buy
the chairs. And Kauai has proved that it
can support a first class fair.
This must be supported by the entire
county. The Kauai Planters' Association,
the Chandler of Commerce and such organiza
tions must back the proposition fr all they
are worth. And if they do we can have just
as good a fair as Maui ever did or ever will
PUBLIC SCHOOL ATHLETIC 'S
Kauai has some embryonic athletes. They
are not so embryonic either, judging by the
records made at the annual meet last Sat
urday. In the course of three years this meet
has grown from a kindergarten-like affair to
a track meet that would make many high
school meets look pale. Many really good,
records were made and as gootl sportsman
ship was displayed by the children as is to
be found in any meet.
Athletics train the children tit play the
game hard and fairly. It teaches them that,
whoever wins, good sportsmanship pays. It
teaches them to fight all the way thru until
the last lap is passed, the goal reached.
That annual track meet is an investment
in future good citizenship. The teachers and
the children' are all to be congratulated on
the good start that has been made and encour
aged to put even more into the proposition
in the futuure.
FOUNDERS DAY
On May 24th, the first annual Founders
Day of the new Kauai Library was celebrated
on the site of the new building. The occasion
was the birthday of the man, Albert K. Wil
cox, in whose memory the structure is to be
erected.
The services were simple and beautiful.
They were a fitting commemoration of the
life of the man whoso memory is perpetuat
d by this public institution. As long as the
stone building lasts, which will be for gen
erations to come, the Founder's Day will be
celebrated. These services and this great in
stitution will never allow the memory of Al
bert S. Wilcox to grow dim in the minds of
the many grateful people who shall benefit
bv ll:e library.

any resident of Kauai is ;ntlt!ed to
draw books. Any adult may draw
books immediately upon coming to
the library and filling out the ne
cessary application. Children are re
quired ao have the signature of their

This refers only to children In Li
hue, as those in other communities
are still to get their book thru
the schools. During the vacation" per
iod, there will bo children's books
at the branches.
Branches' are being established at
Hanalei at the post office with Mrs.
Makee an custodian, at Kilauea nt

Langwith as custodian; in Kapna
in Mr. Uapozo's store; Koloa, in
the home of Doctor Waterhouso; at

will be accessible at the branches
In a short time.
The residents of these places may
draw books from their local branch
If special books are wanted, requests
may be left with the custodian, who
will send them in to the main li

tion and Kauai does not have the
hoik, the request will be forwarded
to the Library of Hawaii at Honolu
lu.
It will not be possible in the be
ginning to serve everyone on tho Is
land thru branches, but it is hoped
that branches will be established
eventutlly to serve the entire is
land. In order to give library service
to those not near branches, some
may have to get books by mall.
There will be no charge collections
sent to individuals thru the mall
Anyone on the island may have a
library card and take books from
the main library in Lihue, but the
books must be returned to the 11
brary within one or two weeks. New
books and magazines are to be loan
ed for one week. Old books may be
kept two weeks. Books may be re
turned to the library by mail if they
reach the library on the date due
There will be, when the library
is opened, about one thousand adult
books ready for circulation, to be
divided among the branches. About
three hundred of these are new
ones. New books are being receiv
ed every week, and these will be
distributed among the branches as
they are ready. As a beginning the
library has about two thousand books
given by the Lihue Union church 11
brary, two ' thousand loaned by the
Library of Hawaii ard several hun
dred new hooks. Over a thousand
books have been ordered and will
irrlve shortly.
