The land probably would cost $500,000, Charles B.

Barrett, Oahu district superintendent, said. "Kids moving from a good school to a 'junk' school would be open to jibes from the kids who stay in the good school," he said. He said money spent on tween the Department of Public Instruction and residents of Manoa Valley over whether Noelani (Manoa Housing) School is renovated for use next fall. Pros and cons were heard i 1 bers of Manoa PTA sided with the Noelani proposal. Mrs.

John Jaquette, past president of the PTA, said she was against enlarging Manoa School. "I WANT MANOA School to be reduced to an enrollment of 1,000," she said. (Enrollment now is 1,348.) "Noelani is better than nothing in accomplishing this." Mrs. Fred K. Cordes, PTA member, went along with the DPI proposal as did Mrs.

J. Russell Berkstresser and PTA officials of Manoa I Noelani could be put to better After a while I got restless and walked over to Red McQueen's desk to tell him about the Los Angeles Dodgers' opening game I saw on the way back from Dallas, School don't favor the idea of i use by expanding Manoa hands five years from now," Clark said. Clark answered criticism that the Manoa community was being selfish in its dispute with the DPI. "WE ARE NOT snobs in any way," said Clark, carefully picking his words. "We are looking at the future.

It's untrue that we selfish in this deal." Edward Raymond, a Navy engineer, said the notion that Noelani would be needed for a Civil Defense shelter in case of attack was incorrect. "Military and defense officials know that th ewa side iin a two-hour informal ses-I sion. The board can block the DPI by refusing to grant revamping Noelani. Hideto Kono, speaking for the special PTA committee investigating the Noelani site, said he'd rather see an addition to the present Manoa School than the use of Noelani. "I DON'T FAVOR a large school, but this would be better than improving Noe- School on the adjoining eight acres and by buying 25 acres of Bishop Estate land nearby for future school development.

WALTER CLARK, first vice president of the PTA and a land appraiser, said the Bishop land was a good site for future use. He said the Noelani site was too small. "Buy Noelani now and re funds to buy the Noelani site. The DPI wants to take the burden off Manoa Elementary School by renovating Noelani School. The job rill cost $70,000.

Yesterday started eariy. I was shaving when the phone rang. It was Eddie Tarn, the Friendiv "Alavor" of Maui. He wanted to know if I ever got the key to the city he sent over "Sure did, Eddie. What's new on Maui "Well, two developers have been looking over the Matson property for resort development.

We're hoping something will happen soon." 'Are you going to run for state office?" "I'm not telling reporters but I did write a letter to Delegate Jack Burns asking him to come home to avoid conflict among the Democrats in Hawaii." On the way to work I stoppod in at Sandy's Camera Center in Waikiki. Sandv was shaking his head. "People." he said. "This woman just called and asked to rent a movie camera. Then she wanted to rent a projector.

Finally, she wanted to rent a roll of film. I told her we didn't rent film. She got mad and hung up." Driving past F.au Kau Korner I saw where Lippy's Service Station is playing to the new foreign car market. You know the sign offering, "Free Car Wash With 10 Gal. Gas?" Well, now is added, "Foreign Cars, Full Tank Only." 9 At the office, the phone was ringing itself off the hook.

It was a call from Mrs. Fred Green, a volunteer clerical worker for the Honolulu Symphony Fund Drive. She found a sick sparrow on the way to her volunteer job, adopted him and named him Rachmaninoff. He's now healthy and sings lustily but off key. Another symphony story.

Hitoshi Kota-kura, the janitor, surprised everybody the other day by bringing his Japanese bamboo flute and giving a small concert. 0 0 Walton Gordon, superintendent of public instruction, called to say that Rep. Dorothy Devereux made a big hit last week in San Francisco at an education conference. State Sen. Monroe Sweetland, Democrat from Oregon, was so impressed with cur Dorothy, said Gordon, that he began calling her "The dangerous Republican." About that time I opened my mail and found a ncte from Anne Holt with the IIVB in San Francisco.

She sent some clippings and a "hello" from Chinn Ho who just blew into town. 1 ex. It wasn't much of a thrill. The Dodgers lost to St. Louis 6-2.

But it was worth going just to watch Roy Campanella, former catcher who's now confined to a wheel chair, throw out the first ball. He had to use both crippled hands. 9 Then came a call from Ed Harris at the Blood Bank. He thinks Joseph Egolf, a civilian training supervisor at the ordinance school out at Schofield, should get a pat on the back for donating his 50th pint of blood for the 50th state. I agreed.

Next came a call from Charlie Moore, Philosophy professor at the University of Hawaii, who thinks it's a shame the new square, hollow tile communications relay station at Laie Point spoils the beauty of this spectacular view. I agreed. That reminds me. I must call Michael Bell who just arrived from Seattle where he owns an Electric Building and Supply Co. He left Kauai 13 years ago when he was 16 and hasn't been back since.

So far, all he's had time to do is just look and shake his head. Well, it went like that most of the day. I heard from Jim Fate, a Redcap at the airport who has a good idea for eliminating congestion at peak hours. Why not, he said, have several agriculture inspection stations between Waikiki and the airport? It will speed service. Tourists can have their bags checked, send them ahead on trucks.

Then follow at a more leisurely pace and board the plane without last minute delay. 0 Dr. Alan Homay, St. Francis Hospital wanted to say he's leaving for Canton Island today after applying for the job of medical officer he read about in this column. William Adams, the man who first scaled the cliffs of Haiku Valley to put up those radio towers, wanted to arrange for his first trip up the cable car after all these years.

Then there was the blonde who asked another, "Where have you been keeping yourself?" Replied the other, "I haven't."
