AN International Branch of the Lions Club has been formed in American Samoa by Mr. Elmer A. Wilson, formerly of Hawaii. It was sponsored by the Kalaupapa Club of Hawaii, and 40 members have already joined.

Governor Lowe and several American Samoan officials attended the Charter dinner on June 4, and Mr. Wilson was presented with two jewelled pins—one for forming the Club and the other for doing the job alone.
