Says Maui Folk Should Awaken Should Work For Improvements Be lieves Governor McCarthy In Interview With Editor Cooper Points To Foresight And Hustle Of Hilo (By WILL.

J. COOPER) HONOLULU, June 2 A few weeks ago the Maui News, commenting editorially upon tho appropriations by the last legislature, called attention to the big haul made by the island of Hawaii, as compared with most of the other parts of the territory, particular ly Maul. It pointed out the reason for this namely that Hawaii has a live bunch of hustlers who not only know what they want but who go af ter It In a way that generally Is successful. By way of comparison it pointed to the weak way Maui has had in the past of backing up her delegation In the legislature. It seems that tho Hilo live wires were Inclined to take exception to that editorial, construing It as a dig at Hawaii inspired through jealousy.

I first heard this from Governor Mc Carthy, a few days ago during the course of an interesting talk with him on Maul affairs in particular and territorial matters in general. Tho Governor stated that the matter was brought to his attention during his recent visit to the Big Island, and that he had the pleasuro of setting the good people of tho Rainy City straight by Interpreting the editorial correctly for them to the effect that it was in no sense a slam at Hilo but a rebuke and an example to our own people if wo expect to get proper recognition.

Cherniavsky Trio Scores A Triumph Australian Musicians Give Maui Folk An Enjoyable Time With A Pro gram Of Good Music Maui residents were treated to a feast of music Tuesday night when Cherniavskv trio Kavo a program of chamber music at tho Kahulul thea- ter. It was good to hear after tho weary repetition of jazz songs and canned music, and it is regretful that more Maui people did not take ad vantage of tho opportunity offered by theso excellent Australian musicians, tho theater being about half filled. Of tho trio undoubtedly Leo Cherniavsky, violinist, is by far the best performer, and his work in the Ernst concerto in sharp major was much appreciat ed.

He responded with a Minuet (Mozart)fcfor an encore. Ho showed throughout his work a masterly technique. Ho produced a tone that was delicate yet firm and in no pass ago was there a hint of harshness, even when executing a difficult bit of treble work above the bridge. Mr. Cherniavsky's solo success was augmented considerably by tho ox- cellent accompaniment which Max Selinsky, of the Selinsky quartet which has been playing In Honolulu all winter, played for him.

Tho dc licacy of Cherniavsky's work might easily have been spoiled by a poor ac-corapanlment and Mr. Selinsky show- ed himself a thorough artist in his assistance. On account of a piano that was out of tune Jan Cherniavsky could not give as excellent a performance as he might, but even at that he. pleased his hearers, and showed a vigor of execution that his personal appear anco belled. His rendition of Chopin was somewhat of a surprise, his in terpretations of tho great master's, work being somewhat more forcofu than is usual in playing tho molan choly composer's work.

Those who didn't have cars prepared to get a hitch from those who had. Tho drivers with their purring steeds waited for the engine to show up but no engine. Meanwhile tho fire-bell kept ringing and someone thought they smelled smoke, so all the would-be flregoers went up to tho flrehouso to see what was the matter. There stood the perfectly good $3000 fire engine, bright and shiny and crouched in front of it was a husky flreboy grinding its tail in a vnin effort to got it to cough, but nary a cough out of the engine.

And the fire, which was down on Central avenue, was put out with a garden hose. It had been caused by a pile of rubbish which had been thrown into the excavation for a cesspool, and tho boards covering the hole had caught fire. Tho caretaker of the fire engine who was off duty when tho alarm was sent in, came back in the afternoon and the fire engine took its daily airing, making no fuss about whatever.

Anyway the city was saved the cost of a double expenditure of gasoline.
