Show Now, When You Take That Trip to Hawaii HEWESSY NEA Women's Editor By HELEN AmeriHONOLULU (NEA) can tourists, it always seemed to me, were much maligned undeserving of the criticism so often directed at them. In my travels through various countries in Europe, only once did I encounter the "unnoisy boorish" sophisticated, American I had been led to believe was legion. The one time was in a restaurant in Florence where a wife complained loudly that the place was full of Italians while her husband asked a speechless waiter for catchup for his scallopini. To me, people like this were the exception, not the rule. But now I know why I only once came across this breed in Europe. They all go to Hawaii. The nightmare began when to wait for two hours at the Honolulu airport for a plane connection. I had A pouter-pigeo- n d, lady, her portly husband and two stocky offspring gave their baggage claim tickets to a porter and disappeared for a few minutes. When they returned, mom was in a wild muu-muh aloha print, the little girl in a small version of same. Pop had on shorts, an aloha shirt in the same bright print as his wife's muumuu, which he wore with e black socks and sturdy shoes and junior was garbed as his tiny teammate. They bought leis, added the package holding their town clothes to their luggage, loudly applauded each other on having "gone floor-lengt- u, city-typ- native" and taxifd off to their hotel. It was amusing until they left and I turned my attention back to the crowded airport and saw that this was happen . ing with incredible regularity to large numbers of tourists. The airport had become a riot of color and families were easily spotted by their matching prints and laughter. It was an amazing sight. Tourism is big business in Hawaii and this instant impetus must be a boon to the economy of our 50th state. But it's sure a shocker to witness. The next clue for the "ugly American" came with his built-i- n belief that there must be a language barrier anywhere 50 miles outside of home. The only Hawaiian words I heard on the Islands were the "aloha" and beautiful the soft musical word for "thank you." There should be signs reading "English is spoken here." Most of the tourists don't seem to expect it. At two luaus and a Poly nesian show in a luxury hotel when the emcee greeted the audience with the traditional "Aloha," there were cries of "Hello dere," around the room. A man from the mainland decked out in a crown of "ma-halo- ," orchids, a print shirt and three leis was invited on stage to participate in the show and he actually answered tne invitation in pidgin English. It was downright embarrassing and a delightful relief when he got his "If you don t wish to come on stage when we invite you," he was told, "all you need do is say, 'No, thank you.' We understand the language." Then there was the poi. Poi is the Hawaiian equivalent of the mainland's potato a staple used to fill out dinner. It's made from a pounded root and anyone on the Islands will tell you that it not only looks like paste but tastes like it as well. come-uppanc- e. Check House Power .
