Original Furnishings Sought For Only Royal Palace In U.S. HON9LULU (UPI) The worldwide search for the original furniture and artifacts that graced lolani Palace the only royal palace In the United States has resulted in returns from as far away as England and Germany. Restoratipn of the 98-year- old former official home of the Hawaiian monarchs, a $6 million project that took nearly 10 years, has been completed, so the Friends of lolani Palace committee want to further enhance it by filling the two-story structure. The committee, working on a limited budget, relies on word-of-mouth and occasional articles in museum and historical society-related publications to spread the word. "The going is slow, but we expected it to be," said Joe Spielman, head of the restoration group.

"We now have about 30 percent qf the original furniture and furnishings. By the end of the year, we are hopeful the throne room will be When theTWlace was completed iaitffiSJrat the cost of Ifiere were 225 pieces King David Kalakaua, had the palace built in the center of an ll-acre parcel, added several pieces of furniture as did his sister and successor, Quee'n Liliuokalani. Most of the household items, many gifts from European royalty and heads of state, were auctioned off to private collectors and museums after the state government moved into its modernistic, open air offices only a few hundred yards away from the palace. Most of the furnishings are believed to be in the islands, but getting them back poses a problem. "Items that once belonged to the palace are now owned by private citizens who are reluctant to give them back," said Spielman.

"Some have willed items to us and others to their children who have promised to return them to the palace." In addition, the committee has a number of volunteers who research files in an effort to locate specific Hems. "When we get word from a visitor that his or her aunt in Oshkosh, has a chair that once belonged to the palace, we have people check it Spielman said. "As you can see, It's a time-consuming task. That's why it's going to take time and money to fully restore lolani Palace." Spielman placed a 25-year time span and a minimum of $800,000 to complete the total restoration. Despite the absence of furnishings, the lolani Palace tour is one of the most popular with visitors.

Emphasis is heavy on the historical background of the monarchy and the architectural design of the palace. "Even now, showing a partly empty palace has been successful because we've been able to tell about the architecture and how the royalty lived during the monarchy without the distraction of furniture, "said "I would say for amateurs, we have done a.pretty good job. None of us knew how to run a museum, particularly an empty one, but it has run exceptionally well." Since, its opening, (BirdiorHeaven) Palace has served focal point in Hawaiian history, i Kalakaua and Liliuokalani were 'crowded, 'tn palace In 1891, gunfire echoed through the palace grounds as a revolution crushed. Two monarchy was overthrown, and following a royalist uprising, Liliuokalani, Hawaii's last queen, was held in an upstairs royal bedchamber for nine months. On Aug.

12, 1898, Hawaiian sovereignty was formally passed to United States and the Hawaiian flag flew officially for the last time. The building then was used as the executive building, first of the republic and later of the Territory of Hawaii. After statehood in 1959, it served as the capitol until 1968. New Hall For Symphony SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) The gala opening concert of the San Francisco Symphony in its new Louise M. Davies Hall will be televised live over PBS stations Sept.

16. The $27.5 million hall, with seating for 3,000 persons, is part of the nearly completed Performing Arts Center and will supplement the Opera House and Herbst Theater. The opening night, concert, with music' director Edo de Waart conducting, will include the world premiere of David del Tredici's "Haopy Voices," People Erma Bombeck I had neyer heard the expression- "girdlock" before until the deputy Commissioner of transportation used it New York. It's a term used to describe a condition where traffic comes to a complete standstill, becomes totally paralyzed and-is unable to move anywhere. He said be has been close to it but has never really seen'it: I have.

Lots of times. The last time I encountered "girdlock" was when I was picking my children up at.a rock concert. It was a terrifying experience. Nothing was moving in the entire parking lot. Everywhere you looked, car lights burned their beams frozen as if they had been abandoned.

No spoke. We just sat there in silence, each one harboring his own private fears. Finally, I beat on the steering wheel and shouted, don't believe this! I'm going to die and I still have a half tank of gas! It's not fair'" It was hours the nightmare ended, but it gave me a chance to observe people during a traffic snarj. A good 48 percent of drivers in a traffic jam subscribe to the theory, "Don't just sit there. Honk your horn.

"Some people have never heard what their horn sounds like! Not these drivers. They use it every time a light turns green every time they pull into a every time a 97- year-old woman gets Caught in the intersection. A good 38 percent of the horn-honkers are also hood- viewers and trailblazers. They can't wait until "film at 11." In their impatience to know what in the Sam Hill is going on ami why they are inconvenienced, they will climb on top'of the car hood. When their curiosity is not satisfied," they will pull out into the oncoming lane, thus blocking all emergency vehi- cle routes.

Probably the most intriguing character at a "girdlock" are the less than percent who slip into a 'phone booth, change into a T-shirt with a red on it and start directing traffic. I'm convinced it's a fantasy for someone who always wanted the challenge of being a social director on the Titanic. I read recently where there was a near girdlock condition at a large office building each morning when husbands dropped their wives off at work and snarled traffic with prolonged goodbye kisses. It's not that I don't believe the story. Let us just say I've seen husbands kiss their wives and most of them could plant one of from a moving commuter train.

But what the heck if you have to die in snarled traffic, you might as well go with your motor running. Tuesday, September IMP Library 'Free Films' Two humorous films are scheduled for this week's "Free Films" at the Logansport-Cass County Public Library. The program is presented in the music room of the library every Wednesday at 7 p.m. and Thursday at 4 p.m. "The Ransom of Red Chief," based on the O'Henry story, is about two con men, Sam and Bill, who more than meet their match in a small boy they kidnap.

"Junkdump" humorously portrays one day in the life of a family that goes about its life in the midst of an accumulation of waste material. Announcements Josephine Lowman In the United States, weather has been the subject of conversation for many weeks. This country has been tortured by an extremely hot and humid summer which has caused much suffering and many deaths. This made me think of some of the ways in which medical climatolotists say weather affects humans. For instance: Marital quarrels hit their peak in July.

TRUE. If you've kept notes on your spouse's temper or yours they'll confirm it. July also is tops for riots, criminal violence and hasty legislation. Oppressive heat and consequent loss of temper control are the Babies wet mere in wet weather. TRUE.

There's something about a damp or rainy spell that encourages it. No one knows just why. It's an old story to diaper services they anticipate a bomming business during bad weather and an all-time high during the September equinox. Children are more unruly when the weather's dry. TRUE.

In Colorado, for instance, school discipline problems multiply about five times when the, humidity breaks below 45 percent. This drop in humidity causes a general decline in self-control. 'Adults get out of hand then, too. Thin people are more sensitive to the weather. TRUE.

Except to midsummer heat, which they stand a lot better than the Obese. But in other seasons, the thin are more, sensitive to weather than the fat. They store less calcium, vitamins, fats and water, and are not so well- buffered to ward off the shocks of weather change. We all work best in cold weather. FALSE.

Of course a bright, clear, cold day inspires us, but apparently not to work. Studies show we accomplish most on dull days, no matter how we grumble and complain about them. We're all more irritable before a storm. TRUE; Both people and animals get perverse, surly and unruly when a storm is 'Furthermore, our efficiency tends to be lowered when the barometer is falling, say the climatologists. Bus and train passengers forget a lot more packages at such times.

Traffic, and industrial accidents soar. Dropping pressure has a bad effect even on our physical health, sometimes causing the critically ill to take a turn for the worse. Headaches and fainting spells increase. Mild winters aren't healthy. FALSE.

Despite the old adage that "a green winter makes a fat churchyard," city health department studies in the northern United States show mildness brings a big drop in midwinter ailments. The winters that really fill a churchyard are those with many sudden changes. Girls.mature earlier in a' tropical climate. FALSE. Girls in tropical climates on the' average mature at 14 or 15, with fertility coming at about 18.

The continuous' devitalizing heat slows both processes. But in more stimulating climates, girls mature about the end of their 12th year and reach fertility at abouUS.
