Windy wandered and wondered about making it back. Stern and rock-bound coast Destination was Kaena Point, the little tip that juts out from the western side of the island. It's not exactly a garden spot, and don't expect a Kaena Hilton out there soon. The map shows the road out to the miniature lighthouse as 99 and the road back the south coast as 90. Even though it says "unimproved," the nomenclature is sheer pretense. No self-re- specting farmer would allow such a lane through his back forty. The only like roads we've noted before were down in lower Baja California and a goat trail thru the Atlas Mountains in Morocco. The eight-mile trek starts where the road drops off at the end of Dillingham Field. After a half-mile jouncing there's sud- denly a quarter-mile of grade "A" hardtop until the bottom drops out of everything. Then it's wallow, bump, Natural bridge straddle, thud and try to follow three miles of trail for an hour. Part of the route is a boulevard, with grass and rocks between paths going east and west. The scenery is awe-inspiring--the high cliffs and domes of the far Arai anae Range on the left, pound- ing surf on lava bolders to the right and a quarter-mile of cac- tus and shrub-strewn desert be- Desert between tween. It's a crazy area. There's no traffic, yet we counted 47 auto- mobiles--old, banged up, turned over, burned, stripped and aband- oned: a car crematorium. Passing the lighthouse and doubling back southeast toward Maiva the road improves. But it's narrower and occasionally the mountain walls are straight above the Ficific Ocean 50 feet straight down. In the two-hour trek we saw one mongoose, a lost poi dog, one lonley fisherman, lots of radar gear above, some driftwood below and a pretty girl sun- ning herself near Makaha.

Call the Advertiser and he's on his way back to HIC. Mr. Kim is trying to organize his new franchise of the American Basketball Association in Anaheim, Calif. No doubt, he is spurred to even greater effort by memories of his last venture into pro basketball. He originally had the Hawaii Chiefs in the defunct, American League of '61. That league started with eight teams but folded quickly. .0041106..4.110 While questioning Kim on the fate of the old league, it was evident that time hadn't healed all wounds and that he still held a grudge or two. One was against some of the fast-buck artists who held franchises in the old league. The other was the devious, sneaking, low-down, under-handed tactics of the opposition-NBA.

The first proof-positive, key-punched example appeared in one of the downtown sheets last week. The headline read: "Oahu family income rises." My old journalism prof, Dixon Gayer, who learned his five Ws C at the elbow of Joseph Pulitzer, pounded me for years to write for the average reader. (Not the average moron, you idiot, Poi!) Well, I sure retrogressed. I used to read a five-inch article in a 17.3 minutes. This income story took me 31.4 and I'm still not fully enlightened. m According to the epic -- not quoting directly -- it sounds like this: The median income for the year ending last June 30, according to State Health Department data prepare.: for the Department of e Planning and Economic Development was $8,053, which is 17 percent over the national median of $6,882, an increase of 8.3 percent 'over the previous year compared with an increase of 4.8 percent r nationally. The median increased faster than the consumer price index, which went up 1.8 percent last year. Surveyed were 6.6 per- a cent of Oahu families who had incomes under $3000 while mote than 35 percent had $10,000 or more. Civilian families were ahead of military with comparative medians of $8,867 and $5,548. Those living alone or in a non-family group had median incomes of $3,767, a 2.9 percent increase over the previous year.
