‘ELE’ELE: Black
HAWAIIAN PROVERB OF THE DAY -

October 29, 1929: Inter-Island Airways (now Hawaiian Airlines) begins service between Oahu and Maui, with its first scheduled flight on the very day that the stock market in New York City collapses (”Black Tuesday”), heralding the beginning of the Great Depression.

1929 was a year marked by many incredible events:

• U.S. securities lose $26 billion between this day and the end of the year.
• The Vatican was established as its own country.
• Al Capone executed the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre.
• The first Academy Awards were announced.
• Edwin Hubble announced that the universe is expanding.
• Leon Trotsky was expelled from the Soviet Union, giving Joseph Stalin a free hand to begin an 8-year reign of terror,  during which more than 15 million Soviet citizens would be murdered.

And a ticket from Maui to Oahu cost $7.00.
