Sports and Luau to
Help OrphanageS
Kamehameha Day Program at
Fair Ground is Expected to
Yield Handsome Fund for
Children's Home Project.

For the benefit Of the orphanage or
children's homes fund there will be
held sports and luau at the Fair
Grounds in Kahului on Kamehameha
Day, June IL. Preliminary plans
were given a fine start at a largely
attended meeting the Territorial build
ing, Saturday afternoon. A general
committee was named composed of
officers and chairmen of sub-commit-
tees and the places on the sub COM
mittees are being filled as rapidly as
prospective members are seen and
their acceptances secured.
Mrs. Foster Robinson called the
meeting of Saturday afternoon and af
ter she had called it to order, ]. Gar
cia was called upon to preside. Then
followed suggestions and discussion of
them and from out of the suggestions
resulted a plan which insures both a
day of entertainment on the holiday
and a probably handsome sum in aid
of the much needed children's homes.

The luau is scheduled to start al noon
