Hawaii emerges from statehood with booming growth yet blemishes marring paradise. Robert Myers reports that statehood spurred integration into the world community, with business, culture, and people shaping a two realms outlook in Honolulu and the neighbor islands.
Honolulu on Oahu, home to over half a million people, typifies a modern city with tall buildings, busy streets, crowded stores, and slums. The neighboring inhabited islands show quieter Polynesian life as the modern world begins to intrude. Ukeleles and local radio stations are noted amid daily schedules.
The newly inaugurated governor John A. Burns calls for self-reliance in Hawaii's economy, which centers on sugar, pineapple, military spending, and tourism. In 1960 tourism surged nearly 120 percent while construction hit $263.7 million. defense and visitors together account for the bulk of outside money, with shipping vulnerabilities noted as the Achilles' heel. The state's racial balance shifts as census figures show Jap anese and Caucasians rising, amid a tolerant surface culture with quiet anti-C Caucasian sentiment in some areas. Living in Hawaii offers good weather and leisure but faces isolation and demographic changes.
