Beautiful Hawaii Awaits Luxurious Sea Voyage Is Beckoning To You

Tropical Hawaii and a long, luxurious sea voyage are call-ing to you. The Times and The Guide are organizing a Springtime Subur-bia St Party in cooperation with Suburbia Today, the week-ly magazine supplement deliv-ered with your Times. The tour, via Matson Lines, will leave Los Angeles on June 8 and return to San Francisco on June 13. For details, see your nearest travel agent. Here is some of the pleasure that awaits you: Th 1st swirls of serpentine have twirled into space. The last kisses have been blown. (The voyage has begun. Ten miles beyond the Gold-en Gate Bridge, the last tie with the mainland is dropped when the harbor pilot leaves via launch at the lightship. The toast of California fades in the distance. That's how it will be for those who join the "Suburbia Sea Parties" this spring, aboard the SS Lurline and Matsonia. You'll have plenty of com-pany—over a thousand persons, 700 of them passengers and 425 crew. Keeping things moving will be native-born Hawaiian hosts and hostesses who, besides helping passengers get to know each other, give complimentary hula lessons. Once at sea, the rush and tensions of everyday life are forgotten. Clocks, dealines, all petty details are left behind. Life aboard ship is a house par-ty sort of existence—and one of the purest forms of "escape" left to a harassed mankind. After breakfast, which you can enjoy in bed if you like, there's a wide choice of recrea-tion. Of course, those more inclin-ed to take it easy can indulge in the more restful sports like bingo, or horseracing (the wooden kind). Movies and trav-el talks, and a well-stocked lib-rary are also yours for the ask-ing. Every night, theres' dancing to the music of the ship's band, and once a voyage the cap-tain hosts all passengers to a gala champagne party. About the only activity at sea regulated by the clock is eat-ing—and even that is pretty flexible. In deference to sea-whetted appetites, Matson din-ing room menus offer as many as 74 different things to eat for breakfast or lunch, and up to 90 choices for dinner. All of them are prepared by a top-flight chef and his staff of 74 assistants. Approaching Honolulu, a fes-tive welcome always awaits the Luline and Matsonia. Colorful catamarans (double-hulled sail-boats) shove off from Waikiki Beach at sunrise on boat days to greet the liners offshore and escort them to dockside. There, the Royal Hawaiian Band plays, hula girls dance, and garlands of fragrant leis—Hawaii's fa-mous "aloha" gesture—drape all passengers.

High Rise Promoter To Sue City

Builder Albert H. Sakolsky filed suit in Circuit Court Tues-day to prevent the City of Coral Gables from blocking the con-struction of a 12-story apart-ment building at 720 Biltmore Way. The injunction action seeks to keep the city from carrying out its resolution of Jan. 10 which revoked Sakolsky's permit for the high rise building. 3-2 Vote The resolution, passed on a 3-2 vote, reversed an earlier 3-2 action granting Sakolsky per-mission to go 12 stories and other variances. Commissioners Joe Murphy, Frank Kerdyk and James Hess reversed the earlier action after opposition began to mount from Gables home and apartment owners. Mayor John M. Montgomery and Commissioners Robert Searle and Winston W. Wynne had voted to approve the high riser Dec. 6. Wynne resigned his Commis-sion seat Jan. 1 to sit on the Metro Commission and Hess, appointed to replace him, voted with Murphy and Kerdyk, both strong opponents of Sakolsky's proposition, to reverse the earl-ier action. Sakolsky actually never ob-tained a permit to construct the entire building, only the founda-tion. The final plans for the building had not been approved by the Commission. Fuel To Election His suit may add fuel to an already hot campaign issue in the April 11 election. However, only Commissioner Searle, the sole candidate for mayor, and Commissioner Joe Murphy, a candidate for re-elec-tion, participated directly in the controversy. Mayor Montgomery and Com-missioners Frank Kerdyk and James Hess are retiring from the political scene. The present City Commission voted unanimously on Feb. 7 to tighten up on its high rise build-ing requirements following the uproar from a large group of residents.
