 The program will be one of comedy all the way through, ac- cording to the committee, including singing and speeches by Kiwanians. It is rumored that following the ex- ample set by President Elmer w.

At that time tho S-3, became se- parated from the tender Rainbow in bad weather resulting in the Rain- bow searching for two days before finding the S-3 disabled but othe:- wise none the worse for her exper- fence.
