The prosecutor is fighting this, hoping to force me to take this Agreement and be sentenced to enjoyed by all Hawaiians during the last half of the 1800s. Were it not for the dynamic cultural leadership and personal contributions of 'Na Lani Eha in encouraging and supporting aspiring composers, singers, instrumentalists, dancers, chanters and poets, Hawaii's significant musical contributions to the world might never have happened." From today through Oct. 4, the display will be standing in the Midkiff Learning Center library at Kamehameha Schools. MARJORIE J.

KATHRINE CASILLAS Phone feature protects consumers After many years of being pestered and sometimes concerned for my family's safety by telephone calls from unknown persons, I look forward to the availability of caller I.D. in Hawaii. Let's reflect on just who might not want it: those sick persons who delight in making random obscene telephone calls; those who prey on latchkey chifdren; obnoxious telemarketers; and others who have been able to hide their identity. I am hard-pressed to find any reason that a law-abiding person making a telephone call would have to hide his identity or telephone number.

ROBERT W. GRANTHAM Contributions of royal family recognized too, would consider any "Hawaiian Music Hall of Fame" suspect if it did not include Queen Liliuokalani's many beautiful contributions and the contributions of King David Kalakaua, Princess Miriam Li-kelike and young Prince William Pitt Leleiohoku (Letters, Sept. 1). Please be assured that a full and elegant panel of our display is devoted to photos and the musical backgrounds and contributions of "Na Lani Eha" (The Heavenly Four). Here is how they are introduced in our display: "Named by the Hawaiian community not only for their musical abilities, but for their patronage in support of Hawaii's musical culture, the Royal Composers, David Kalakaua, his sisters Lydia Kamaka'eha Paki (Liliuokalani), Miriam Li-kelike, and his brother William Pitt Leleiohoku, the youngest, are credited with the vitality and rich musical environment ceed the small inconvenience our teen-agers would have to endure.

CHUCK COHEN Must not forget war contributions of Filipinos Regarding The Advertiser's article, "For Filipinos, omission is painful" (Sept 3): How many times do we have to read of the disappointment of these vital heroes of the war? Too often we are worried about being apologetic to the enemy, yet we don't think of those we have hurt on our own side. I marvel at the triumphs of the 442nd and other brave units and cheer the efforts of every veteran who tells of his or her war remembrances. Still, in a state with a growing Filipino population, we must hear these other voices. I wish our governor were more visible in support of a group of soldiers who gave all of us the opportunity to live out our dreams. 1 grams will increase such isolation, polarize ethnic groups, and thereby threaten national unity.

American English is a living language that has benefited by borrowing liberally from other languages. Restrictive language policies such as Sen. Dole, proposes will only serve to stifle our free market of ideas and isolate us from the non-English speaking world. JEFFREY BLAIR Raising driving age would ease traffic woes Louis Rose and Gordon Lum (Focus, Sept. 3) overlooked a simple solution, to help soften the traffic problems of Oahu, I propose that the minimum driving age be increased from 15 to 17.

A simple solution with many benefits. With an increase in the driving age, insurance rates would decrease, teen-age drunk driving would be curtailed (lives would be saved) and the number of cars on the roads would be substantially reduced. There is no reason high school students need to drive to school. We need more buses and we need safer bike paths for students. The benefits would far ex honored past presidents How nice it would have been if one or all three of our living past presidents who courageously served our country during World War II could have been present at the ceremonies for V-J Day, rather than a draft-dodger who hadn't even been born when that tragic conflict ended.

BETTY M. HOWATT Dole needs to learn facts on language issues Your article on Sen. Bob Dole's campaign (Sept. 5) shows how confused he is concerning language issues. He doesn't seem to realize that: 1) Immigrants, unless they are isolated from English-speaking America, are highly motivated to learn English.

But the lack of ESL (English as a second language) and bilingual programs is an obstacle. 2) Sink-or-swim immersion programs are ineffective. English acquisition requires exposure to comprehensible English, which is exactly what bilingual programs provide. 3) Ethnic separatism is fostered by ethnic isolation. The elimination of bilingual pro- 29) included letters from readers about prostitution, which your headline called the "world's oldest profession." Obviously, the writer is repeating something he or she heard repeatedly over the years.

We've all heard that, but it doesn't make it so. My dictionary defines a profession as a "calling requiring specialized knowledge and often long academic preparation." Teaching is a profession. Medicine, journalism, even law can be considered a profession. But prostitution? Hardly! Perhaps you should call it a trade, which is. best described as "one's regular business or work; occupation; an occupation requiring manual or mechanical skills; the business of buying and selling or bartering commodities." While I am not addressing the moral question of whether or not to legalize this occupation, I think it would do well for your writers and editors to recognize it for what it is.

And it is not a profession. KEITH HAUGEN Policy on Letters The Advertiser welcomes letters In good taste on any topic.
