Adver Honolulu tiser lio Mom foiTio; -Imperfect system9 indicated. fa tal Maze Ariyoshi says By JERRY BURRIS Politict Writer violations. The governor said he could "envision many instances" where one government employee might not know what was required by some other agency. A social worker has particular responsibilities, he said. "That doesn't mean automatically the social worker has to see (to) licensing requirements and other things which need to be done." The state, Ariyoshi said, is concerned about upgrading the quality of care homes and has' committed a great deal of time and effort to that end since the licensing requirement was enacted in 1978.

Right now, he said, more than 300 care mum DSSH licensing standards for boarding homes. Licensed homes must have, among other things, hand grips for tubs, showers and toilets; adequate water and sewage lines or private sewage disposal system; and a working automatic fire alarm system. The home at 96-239-A Waiawa Road near Leeward Community College was made of termite-ridden wood and sheets of corrugated metal. It had no indoor toilet or shower facilities and the bath consisted of a small shed out back and a water hose. The water was heated over a wood fire and food was cooked on a kerosene stove.

Ariyoshi said the fact that social workers (However, a pamphlet distributed to welfare recipients by the Adult Services Branch of the state Department of Social Services and Housing says that among the social services offered by that branch is "helping seriously ill or impaired adults living in hazardous or neglectful conditions who are unable to protect themselves without assistance from others." (It was social workers from that branch who visited the home that was later destroyed by fire.) "We have to do the best with the resources we have available to us," Ariyoshi said. "We aren't going to be able to enforce all of it. There will continue to be instances where there will be cracks. You're going to have violations and you're not going to be able to catch them all." Conditions at the home did not meet mini- The death of four people in what amounted to an unlicensed Pearl City boarding home is an indication of an "imperfect system," Gov. George Ariyoshi said yesterday.

He was asked to comment on an Advertiser report yesterday that certain state social workers knew of conditions in the dilapidated wooden structure where three elderly men and the woman who cared for them perished in a Sept. 4 blaze. "You can't expect one social worker to be aware of all the needs of the community," he said. "The social worker is not there to be aware of conditions in the Jiome." Social workers are primarily involved with the individuals themselves, he said. Licensing is the responsibility of others.

President Carter stood in the ruins of the Gulf Coast yesterday and told the survivors of Hurricane Frederic that "the country will not forget you." Carter called the storm a "catastrophe," but his three-state tour lifted the spirits of the coastal residents who faced another night amid the wreckage, without electrical power, and beset by looters and price-goug-ers. "We're all in this together," Carter said, pledging federal aid to the scores of communities and tens of thousands of people in the area below Mobile where the storm slammed ashore Wednesday night with 130-mph winds and a 15-foot storm tide.

Eleven persons were killed by theftorm. The Mobile police department reported 25 arrests for looting since the storm hit and 27 arrests for violating the 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. curfew. Meanwhile, about 10 miles away, tempers erupted in the muggy September heat.

Some people pushed, shouted unpleasantries and brawled as an estimated 5,000 residents crowded around a van at the Mid-town shopping center, trying to buy bags of ice that had been brought from New Orleans. Police and National Guardsmen were called to quell what one SWAT team officer called a small riot. There were no injuries reported. In Pritchard, where the mayor told police to shoot to kill if looters refused to surrender, Police Chief A.G. Hildreth said looting had subsided, but price-gouging was increasing.

He said he knew of "seven or eight" service stations pumping on emergency generators and charging "between $2 and S3 a gallon for gasoline. "One store is selling a file for sharpening chain saws regularly priced at $1.50 for $7.50," Hildeth said. "One guy has been selling six packs of beer for $5 apiece and four pounds of dry ice for $20." David Oakes of the Alabama Civil Defense said, "The No. 1 problem now is ice. They're fighting over it, figuratively speaking, in the city of Mobile.

Everything south of Montgomery is depleted. We're talking about block ice, any kind of ice for the preservation of food. There's a line a couple of blocks long in Mobile for it." The health department advised residents to boil all water for 15 minutes before it until results of water samples sent to a state lab could be checked State Insurance Commissioner Hal Sumrall estimated damage at $500 million in and Mississippi Gov. Cliff Finch put it at $50 million in his state. No estimate was available for Florida, although observers said it appeared no worse than the $95 million caused by hurricane David a week ago.

But the President's visit raised spirits. Wherever Carter went there were emotional expressions of gratitude like that of an unidentified man in Mississipppi who said Democrats in Jackson County won't forget this." When a number of Mississippians tried to thank Carter, he responded: "I'd like to take the credit, but it was the taxpayers' money and your government that responded."

They sensed something of themselves in her, an instant understanding of the Polynesian psyche." On the screen her performance was a deft combination of regal power and almost childish petulance. In spite of her success in "Hawaii," Miss Lagarde saw no reason to pursue a movie career. She told a London reporter after "Hawaii" opened that she had no plans "because I have had no offers." Maggi Parker, a friend from Miss Lagarde's initial visit to Hawaii, brought her to Honolulu in 1972 for medical treatment of complications from djabetes.

Miss Lagarde is' survived by her adoptive mother, one sister and her adopted daughter, Marie Helene. In Honolulu, a memorial mass will be held on Tuesday at 4 p.m. at Sacred Heart Church, 1701 Wilder Ave. Jocelyne Bredln Lagarde, the imposing Tahitian woman who was plucked from obscurity to play Queen Malama in the movie "Hawaii," died Thursday at a Papeete, Tahiti, hospital.

She was 55. Miss Lagarde came to Hawaii in 1965 to film the movie with almost no knowledge of English, no acting experience whatsoever, but with a manner that endeared her immediately. Through the years, she maintained her Island ties and usually visited Hawaii for about a month each year. Although her work in "Hawaii" brought her an Academy Award nomination as best supporting actress and a Golden Globe Miss Lagarde never acted again.
