The history of today JANUARY 2

	The Honolulu Advertiser's front page on Jan. 2, 1924, included a photo of the recently constructed Central Union Church.

1895: A prospectus is published in The Pacific Commercial Daily Advertiser for O'ahu Sugar Co.

1916: The Pacific Commercial Advertiser reports a nursing school will be opened at Queen's Hospital.

1938: Queen's Hospital dedicates a new wing and the first public drinking fountain in Honolulu.

1971: Jack W. Hall, the tough, salty Island leader of the ILWU for more than 30 years and a major figure in the shaping of modern Hawai'i, dies in San Francisco at the age of 55. He had suffered a massive stroke on New Year's Day.

1984: Toshiaki "Toshi" Suematsu, artist, philosopher and all-around eccentric at the University of Hawai'i Manoa campus for 20 years, dies at the age of 67. Frail, scruffy-looking, barefoot and usually smoking a cigarette, he was well-known on and near the campus for his tall, pyramidal "sculptures" made of bamboo, sticks, rope, boards and pipes. University officials tolerated the unauthorized creations.
