FINE PROGRAM
PRESENTED AT
ROTARY CLUB

FL Centre Rotarians yesterday en-
loved one of the outstanding meet
ings of the club when Harold A,
Burnham. as chairman, introduced
as principal speaker, Joseph c.
Ewing, attorney, and Rotarian, of
Greeley, Colorado, who is spending
the winter in San Diego.
Ewing, a brothcr-in-law of War
rem Curricr. club president, and an
entertaining and forceful speaker,
spoke on the subject "Tracking the
Sunset" " rccounting his experiences
in recent round-theworld tour in
I'm extremely interesting manner.
Dwelling at length upon his obser-
vations throughout India, rs well as
the Holy Land, Ewing showed a
keen insight into the present Gus
toms and the historical ackground
Of these sections of the world.
OF more than ordinary interest, a
short talk on the part of Rotarian
Lloyd c. Henning, OF Holbrook,
Ariz., was also heard. Henning,
who is district governor of the 43rd
District of Rotary, comprising the

state Of Arizona, was here in the
interests of forming a Rotary club
at Yuma, and has enlisted the
whole-hearted support of all valley
clubs in that endcavor.
4 particularly attractive feature
of the program was the appearance
of Mrs. Ray c. Roberts of this city,
charming vocalist who sang a group
of Spanish songs In spirited man
ner, rendered doubly pleasing by
her own vivacity, Mrs. Roberts
sang LA Nioletera," the song of
4 Spanish flower girl. Passing be
tween the tables with her basket of
/ violcts. the soloiSt tossed her bios
SONS into the air, from which they
were caught by eager hands. In
response to insistent applause, Mrs.
Roberts repeated a portion of the
violet song and later sang "La Bar
rachita, another delightful Span.
iSh melody.
To Have Ladies Night
Among interesting announce.
ments of the day was that on the
part Of Ray Edgar, who, as chairman
in charge, outlined plans for ladies
night. in which the local and Calcx-
leo clubs are joining. to be held at
the Fawcctt Brcedlove ranch, near
Heber, the evening of April 26.
Also, 4 telegram received by Secre.
tary Dceblc from Sacramento, con.
firming plans for the appearance of
the local Rotary quartette on the
program of the Second District Com
ference, scheduled for Sacramento,
MAY 10 to 10, was read.

But tonight Joshua r. Giddings

But he pointed out that many OF the
citizens had large sums Of money in

ruined II their property were taken
away from them. Why not give them a
chance to cleanse their own souls Of

approved. The two OF them felt that

A mob surrounded the prison. They
