Page 2 WHEEL OF ROTARY APRIL 6, 1950 TODAY'S PROGRAM Today the Kiwanis and. Rotary Clubs will meet together to commemorate the Easter in a fitting manner. Monsignor John J . Lanbe will deliver the Easter sermon, as he always does so well. The Sullivan Sisters, Louise and Minnie, have kindly consented to provide some music for us today as the occasion permits. Las Vegas Hotary Club is under obligations to The Sullivan Sisters for the delightful music they have given us on many occasions. Paul Hammel, President of Kiwanis and Leonard Fayle, president of Rotary, will divide the re-sponsibility of conducting proceedings today— without - too much friction, we hope. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * . * • * * ROTARY IAS SEEK Last week Ray Germain gave the Rotary Club a craft talk — of course, the printing business.
