The New Status Of

Hawaii

Letter to the Editor WE are happy to report that Statehood for Hawaii is almost an accomplished fact.

Already, Senator-Designate the Minister Aloha-Tzi-Mao has sent his top-hat to the cleaners for re ironing, and a new and larger sweat band.

The Commission appointed to de sign a Coat-of-Arms for the new State has completed its labours in strict accordance with the laws of Heraldry, This, Commission was ably assisted by members of the Hoipa Loi family, whose ancestor migrated early in the 19th century to Maui from the island of Ithaca, in the Mediterranean. This Hoipa Loi ancestor brought with him the formula of the Calypso Cocktail, which later on became the corner stone of Hawaii’s greatness and renown.

The recipe of the Calypso Cocktail has been a treasured heirloom in the Hoipa Loi family since it was brought to Ithaca by the navigator.

Dr. Odyssey. The formula has re mained unaltered through the centuries, so that the effect on the partaker is precisely the same as when it was the popular beverage for tourists in Calypso’s Isle.

Here is a description of the new State Coat-of-Arms, soon to be published by the Commission.

The Shield—a cocktail-glass (con taining a transparent Calypso cock tail and a bright red cherry) super imposed on a Field of Mongolian yellow.

The Crest —a stately skull and cross-bones—an eloquent symbol to commemorate the most thorough job of Genecide done since the an cestors of the architects of our pre sent-day Polynesian Charnel-House liquidated the last of the Indians in the State of Connecticut.

The Motto —Ei Roto Mate I Te Oua (There is Death in the Cup).

Our old friend Mako-Ono, the curio dealer of Hilo—who, you may recall, had all his teeth filed to a point in order to impress tourists regarding his name (in English, Barracuta-shark) —has employed a dentist to extract his shark teeth.

He hopes to gain appointment as “Lord High Commissioner of Cock tail Lands under the State regime.”

He now displays a handsome array of lovely artificial teeth set with pigeon-blood rubies, following the pattern of the bright red cherry in the new State Coat-of-Arms.

I am, etc.,

Kalaulau Popocatapeti.

Hilo, Hawaii.
