Beginning with a short history of the four systems of shorthand taught in the Baldwin College in the past 51 years, Mrs. Harnden then presented Lesson 33 in Gregg Shorthand. After a drill on the blackboard with Patsy McCord and Beatrice Rohan writing, the Tape Recorder was used to drill the words and the letters. Mrs. Madeline Strony, Gregg voice was on the tape.

In order to drill for speed to further the contestants for County Meet a Speed Tape was then used. The interesting session closed with a brief resume of the activities of Baldwin College at Yoakum.

First National Bank Member FDIC LY 4-3317 Shiner, Texas Hawaii Settles Down To Business Of Politics Hawaii was Republician for years but the Democrats won a majority in the Territorial Legislature in 1954 for the first time in 54 years. In 1956 a Democrat was elected to the House for the first time in 24 years. The present territorial Governor is a Republician, an appointee of President Eisenhower. Statehood brings Hawaii the privilege of voting for U.S.A. President, their state Governor and senators and representative to Congress.

It will cost the people of Hawaii about $400,000 more per year to run their government as a state, but it will eventually be better off as a state. In numbers, whites are in the minority. There are 220,000 Japanese, 90,000 Hawaiians and part Hawaiians, 74,000, Caucasians (exclusive of 60,000 service personnel), 65,000 Filipinos and smaller groups of Koreans, Puerto Ricans, mixed races and Portugese. They are white, brown and yellow in color. Population nearly 600,000.

This is one place where the Pearl Harbor attack will never be forgotten. It is thought the fast growing tourist industry will become the leading industry. Last year the tourists numbered 165,000, spending an estimated 90 million dollars. The Pacific Ocean streams through the new island state in more than a half dozen places. Hawaii is the only state with the high seas running through it.

The main products are sugar (1.1 million tons per year) and pineapple (29 million crates of fruit and juice per year), orchids (50 million a year shipped to U.S.), also fishing fleets and cattle raising, cocoanut crops. The climate is balmy all the year round, many tourists and military personnel after retiring settle here. The scenery is flower-filled, a tropical paradise. The people are friendly. Hawaii pays more income tax than ten present states.

Last year they paid $166 million in taxes to federal coffers. With statehood Hawaii will be able to bargain in Congress on appropiations for public improvements, harbor development, flood control, highway funds, buildings, slum clearance and the like. It is a recognized fact that the jet age is bringing Hawaii closer and closer to the U.S. It is shrinking the vast Pacific Ocean to a four or five hour span from San Francisco to Honolulu. -1 -O" i As early as the mid-nineteenth century man was planning on a trip to the moon.
