We sincerely hope that you have enjoyed your voy age aboard the Mariposa and we look forward to seeing you aboard again in the near future. Plains, Ga. - Jimmy Carter says his slim victory margin was typical of United States elections and is all he needs to be as he put it "very aggressive about keeping my promises to the American people." In his first news conference as President elect Carter also said there is a strong possibility he may recommend a tax cut for lower income wage earners if the economy is still sluggish when he takes office in January. Speaking now as a prospec tive President he seemed to hedge his campaign position on refusing to commit United States troops to defend Yugolavia against Soviet invasion saying "he would be unlikely to do so." He said his margin of victory over Ford was an adequate mandate for him to carry out his promises for tax and welfare reform, government reorganization and other cam paign pledges. He said when asked about the result of the election that many Americans thought Presi dent Ford, whose competence he questioned throughout the campaign, had done an excellent job. Put he said he thought that many people thought it was time for a change and time to have a more aggressive leadership in Washington. Calling his narrow popular vote broad based and adequate despite Ford's near sweep of western states, Carter called the outcome fairly typical of close elections. On another subject Carter said he had made no choices yet for his cabinet and expects to make no announcements until December.

He singled out black nationalist Bishop Abel Muzorewa as the most responsible black leader at the Geneva conference.

Nairobi-Clayton Kirkpatrick, editor of the Chicago Tribune led an attack by western nations on a Soviet backed resolution proposing state regulation of the news media. He asked the opening session of debate at the 141-nation United Nations Education al, Scientific and Cultural Organization if the mass media is shackled by UNESCO's moral sanctions will academic freedom be next and will freedom of scientific research be the next target. Washington - Eugene McCarthy said it probably was for the best that his Independent presidential bid failed to deny Jimmy Carter the White House. If Ford had won, the Democrats would have had a case for saying that things would have been better if Carter had won, McCarthy told a news conference at the National Press Club. "Now we have to let the Democratic record run and see if things will be different." Tel Aviv - Former Defense Minister Moche Dayan has proposed that Israel will have to negotiate with the Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat if it wants peace in the Middle East.

Washington - The United States and Mexico have agreed on a treaty to permit an exchange of federal prisoners, the State Department announced.

Sea - The term "Sea" also refers to the character of a water surface, particularly the height, length (period), and direction of travel of waves generated locally. A sea may be designated as head, beam, quartering or following if the waves are moving in a direction approximately 180 degrees, 99 degrees, 45 degrees or zero degrees, respectively. Ocean Temperatures vary from about 28° F, in polar seas to 96° in the Persian Gulf which contains the hottest sea water in the world. The temperature of the water between the Pacific Coast and Hawaii varies from about 56° (annual average) on the Cali fornia coast to about 79° in Hawaii. Swell - A swell is a relatively long wind wave, or series of waves, that have traveled a considerable distance from the generating area. As these waves travel away from the area in which they are formed, the shorter ones die out. The surviving waves in crease in speed, becoming longer and flatter. When these waves reach shoal water, they become more prominent and are then known as ground swells. Wave - An ocean wave is primarily a wind wave, generated by friction between the wind and the surface of the ocean. The crest is the highest part of a wave, the trough is the lowest part between two crests. The wave height is the distance from the trough to the crest of a wave and the time inter val between passage of successive wave crests at a fixed point is called the wave period. A wave train is a group of related waves, constituting a series, in contrast with a solitary wave. The crest of a wave that becomes unstable in deep water is called a white-cap, while abreaker is a wave which breaks because of instability in shallow water and a'beach comber is a long curling wave. Current - A current is water or other fluid in es sentially horizontal motion. The set of a current is the direction toward which it flows; the drift is its speed. A tidal current is one due to tidal action. A well defined current extending over a considerable region of the ocean is called an ocean current. Ships and Boats - The distinction between a ship and a boat is largely one of size, but there is no well-defined line of demarcation. Originally a ship was a three-masted, square rigged sailing vessel. The term is now generally applied to any vessel except rowboats, small motorboats, fish vessels pleasure craft, barges, etc. The Tropics refer to either of the two parallels of declination (North or South), approximately 23° 27' from the celestial equator, reached by the sun at its maximum declination, or the corresponding parallels on earth. The northern of these is called the Tropic of Cancer and the southern the Tropic of Capricorn. The region of the earth between these two parallels is called Torrid Zone, or often Tropics. Windward Oahu, Your Introduction To Honolulu As we approach the island of Oahu, the long anticipated view of "Vacation in Paradise" unfolds in a magnificent panorama of sparkling white beaches, lush tableland and tropical mountains. From the ship we look North-Northwest of our line of approach to Mokapu Point, on Mokapu Peninsula, to Makapuu Point off our Starboard Bow. Most of the land area between the two points was once primarily used for dairy and truck farms and some beef cattle. A sugar plantation was located in the Waimanalu district. The Kalama, Kailua and Lanikai Beach areas have always been popular recreational grounds for island ers. But the slow, tortuous route over the Nuuanu Pali tended to restrict any great surge of develop ment. With the completion of the Wilson Tunnel through the Koolau Range, the Windward Side became easily accessible to Honolulu and residential development moved ahead at an overwhelming pace. Today, much of the agricultural land has been converted into vast housing developments. In the distance you can see Mokulua Rock, a bird sanctuary off Lanikai and, as the view tightens, Manana Island (popularly known as Rabbit Island) off Waimanalu Beach opposite the site of Sea Life Park. Some will tell you Manana was called Rabbit Island because it resembles a rabbit. Others say the name came from the fact that rabbits were once released on the island in a commercial venture that failed. The most distinctive landmark in sight is Makapuu Point, at the Southerly tip of the Koolau Range, with HONOLULU SHORE EXCURSION SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1976 HS-2-Scenic City and Punchbowl 3:OO p.m. THE TOUR WILL DEPART FROM THE DOcK Please be prompt and have your tour tickets with you The Polynesian PUBLISHED DAILY AT SEA BY Pacific Far East Line its lighthouse perched on a bluff high above the waves crashing at the base of the cliff. Makapuu Light, sitting on it's hill top, has been the "Guiding Eye" for ships approaching Honolulu for many years. Ma'kapuu is a fitting name for such a setting as it means "Hill Point" and/or "Bulging Eyes" in Hawaiian. Shortly after leaving Makapuu Point, we steam past a sweeping white sand beach. A highway separates the beach area from a shallow valley that reaches to the foot-hills. The valley, Kalama Valley, once supported small pig and chicken farms until April 1, 1946, when a devastating tidal wave swept from the Pacific, surged over the beach and high way into Kalama Valley, destroying most of the farms. The wide expanse of green lawns you see in the approximate center of the valley is the Hawaii Kai Golf Course. The Koolau Range (the "Windward" Range), the water reserve of Oahu, reaches North from M.akapuu Point to Kahuku at the North tip of Oahu. The highest point is about 3,100 feet and the range averages 2,600 feet. The range is of great importance to Oahu since it traps moisture brought in by the Trade winds causing heavy rainfall in the mountain areas. The rain water eventually finds it's way into great underground artesian basins. The Koolau Range has provided pure drinking water for Oahu for centuries.
