2Z-0 BUFFALO COURIER-EXPRESS, Sunday, June 5, 1960 II \ Y Good Listener Hawaiian Camp Girls of Many Races Br H. KATHERI.VE SMITH ON ISLAND—Differences tn race and nationality of campers are disregarded completely in the YWCA camp on the Hawaiian island of Kauai, according to Reta, (Mrs. Fritz) Maag. Mrs. Maag, who was director of that camp for the last four summers, is area program director of the Buffalo YWCA. "Talent night in the Kauai camp never failed to thrill me," Mrs. Maag said. "Entertainment, provided by the campers, included Japanese dances performed in kimonos of richly embroidered silk, Chinese and Filipino dances executed in costume, and, of course, the hula dance of Hawaii. The last was presented in the erroneously called grass skirts, actually made of ti leaves. Each nationality group performed the dance that was a part of the culture of her ancestors." NO LUXURY—In the camp, Mrs. Maag said, racial and nationality groups appeared only on talent night. Friendships were based, not on race, color, or background, but on shared interests and recreations. The camp is far less luxurious than our own Lake Shore YWCA Camp Forty Acres. Building are crudely constructed, merely adequate to the necessities of campers. Swimming facilities are limited to a dammed creek. The camp is. however, picturesquely situated In t Hawaiian State Park among mountains, at an altitude of 4.000 feet. BRILLIANT BLOOM—The branches look like dead wood except when in bloom. Then they are covered with flowers called lehua blossoms, resembling brilliant red pompoms. According to an ancient Hawaiian superstition, plucking those flowers will cause rain. Generous growers and canners donate to the Kauai camp quantities of ripe pineapple and pineapple juice. This fruit, popular with us, if no novelty to the Hawaiian girls, fed It from childhood. FEW SHORTS—At the Hawaiian YWCA camp shorts rarely are seen. The girls prefer jeans or pedal pushers because the camp, in the mountains, is too cold for shorts to be worn with comfort. For dinner and the evening gathering around the campfire, most of the girls dress in the muumuu or nolo muu-" muu. These are made of gaily colored Hawaiian cotton prints. The muumuu is a loose-fitting dress suggestive of the Mother Hubbard. The holo muumuu, the costume worn by Mrs. Maag in the photograph, is a fitted gown. Some crafts taught at the Hawaiian camp are unfamiliar to us. Making leis of seeds is popular with the girls. Holes must be drilled in the seeds before they can be strung into Intricate patterns similar to beadwork. The seeds are in attractive colors. They can be fashioned into leis and jewelry. From the thick white bark of certain trees, campers are taught to make guest book covers, place cards, and other trinkets. They also make jewelry from shells and drift glass from the beaches. HOME TASKS—At the Kauai YWCA Camp, rates are as low as $15 a week. The girls, ranging in age from 7 to 15, help with many household tasks. They sweep the floor of the dining room after each meal, wash dishes, clean the dormitories, make their beds, prepare vegetables for the cook, and clear the grounds of papers and other litter. To Mrs. Maag. a former director of YWCA camps in Florida the soft voices and quiet ways of Hawaiian girls were a pleasant surprise. Their singing gave her hours of pleasure. ENJOY SONGS—"Many play ukuleles exceptionally well," she said, "and most of the girls have good voices and delight in singing Hawaiian, Japanese, Chinese, or Filipino songs, either as soloists or in group choruses.

She gave these cards to friends and acquaintances in Italy and other countries and left them in hotels for members of the staff or future guests to see. "Too many Europeans," says Mrs. Barbieri, "believe we Americans live in frontier towns like those shown in 'western' movies. I hope my trail of cards will give them a truer picture of our city." 4 other A . M . * A . Branch Stores Until 5:30 oxuno NEW! as reported in READER'S DIGEST FOR DAD!
