gifts from European royalty
Leads of state, were auctioned
private collectors and museums
after the state government moved
into its modernistic, open air offices
only a few hundred yards away from
the palace.
Most of the furnishings are be
lieved to be in the islands, but get
ting them back poses a problem.
“Items that once belonged to the
palace are now owned by private
citizens who are reluctant to give
them back,” said Spielman. “Some
have willed items to us and others to
their children who have promised to
return them to the palace.”
In addition, the committee has a
number of volunteers who research
files in an effort to locate specific
items.
“When we get word from a visitor
that his or her aunt in Oshkosh,
Wis., has a chair that once belonged
to the palace, we have people check
it out,” Spielman said.
“As you can see, it’s a time-
consuming task. That’s why it’s going
to take time and money to fully res
tore lolani Palace.”
Spielman placed a 25-year time
span and a minimum of $800,000 to
complete the total restoration.
Despite the absence of fur
nishings, the lolani Palace tour is one
of the most popular with visitors.
Emphasis is heavy on the historical
background of the monarchy and the
architectural design of the palace.
“Even now, showing a partly emp
ty palace has been successful be
cause we’ve been able to tell about
the architecture and how the royalty
lived during the monarchy without
the distraction of furniture,” said
Spielman.
“I would say for amateurs, we have
done a pretty good job. None of us
knew how to run a museum, particu
larly an empty one, but it has run
exceptionally well.”
Since its opening, lolani (Bird of
Heaven) Palace has served as a focal
point in Hawaiian history.
In 1891, gunfire echoed through
the palace grounds as a revolution
was crushed. Two years later, the
monarchy was overthrown, and fol
lowing a royalist uprising, Liliuoka
lani, Hawaii’s last queen, was held in
an upstairs royal bedchamber for
nine months.
On Aug. 12, 1898, Hawaiian
sovereignty was formally passed to
the United States and the Hawaiian
flag flew officially for the last time.
The building then was used as the
executive building, first of the re
public and later of the Territory of
Hawaii. After statehood in 1959, it
served as the capitol until 1968.
Surveys seek working wives
United Press International
Can a woman realistically combine career and family?
Two new national surveys being launched in September will try to answer
that and other questions affecting two-career families. Several thousand
couples and the nation’s 1,300 top corporations will be questioned in the
studies by Catalyst’s new Career and Family Center in New York City.
Catalyst is an 18-year-old national, non-profit organization that supports
the full participation of women in business and the professions. Its new center
is funded by a grant from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation of Battle Creek,
Mich.
The corporate study will look at company policies on relocation and child
care issues, recruitment poiicy, the redefinition of sex roles at home and time
management.
The center is looking for two-career couples willing to answer questions on
a wide variety of subjects — including relocation, child care and how they
divide mutual responsibilities such as housework; how they deal with stress
and the problems involved in combining career and family.
Polltakers will also ask couples to describe their solutions to two-career
problems, and how satisfied each spouse is with the solutions.
Susan Lund, the center’s director of operations and communications, says
couples will be asked for basic demographic information, such as age and
income, but may leave blank any questions they don’t want to answer.
“Complete confidentiality is guaranteed,” Lund said.
Unless they want to take part in follow-up, in-depth personal interviews,
she said, people need not put their names on their questionnaires.
Lund said the studies will try to determine, among other things, what
corporations and individuals consider the greatest obstacles facing two
career couples and their creative solutions.
Both surveys are funded by a grant from the Exxon Corp.
Lund said the center is looking for not so much for two paycheck as for
two-career couples. To qualify, a wife must have a business career — a
rofessional, technical or managerial job with a privately owned corporation;
usbands’ careers may be business, professional or other.
Wives who are health professionals or teachers will not be included in the
study, Lund said.
Interested couples should send a postcard with their names and addresses
only to The Career and Family Center at Catalyst, 14 East 60th St., Dept. U,
New York, NY 10022 or telephone (212) 759-3218.

EW YOBK — One industry in which the family company con
tinues to thrive is the wine trade.
Bin Europe, vineyards and wineries may stay in a single family for
many generations. Even in America, sons tend to follow fathers in the
business, partly because wine always has heen a prestigious commerce
