Songbirds in Hawaii
The Chamber of Commerce of Hilo, Hawaii, is urging every resident of the island to buy a songbird.
Birds make pleasant pets, to be sure. But the Hilo Chamber is wise enough to realize that a cage is no place for a pet of that kind. It wants Hawaiians to buy birds on the mainland, take them to Hawaii-and then turn them loose.
There is something extremely fetching about that suggestion. The people of Hawaii will be serving themselves well if they follow it. Setting the birds free will restock the islands with songbirds and make life more pleasant for everyone. [January 31, 1929 "The Lancaster Daily Gazette", Lancaster Ohio - Submitted by S. Williams]
