Chamber Hears ' Interesting Talk A very interesting talk on an official visit of the Communist Party by David Griffith, a buyer fur Delco-Remy, Anderson, Ind., was enjoyed by tne Walkerton Chamber of Commerce last Thursday. After a three-week exchang. visit to Russia late in 1963, Griffith is able to paint a very tine picture of many aspects oi lie in Russia, and freely passed these views on to the gioup. Griffith has made over 200 speaking appearances sinco his visit to many clubs and organizations and certainly leaves much food for thought about the situation that ex^t s in Russia nd -between the two countries, Russia and the United States. Being only eno of three selected forth s trip, and by-passing the usual handling of tours in Russia to be guests of the real big^wigs, Griffith was able to relate an entirely different picture than is often told. The basic text of hi® talk was tfhat th" Russian people have freedom from many things, but we. as free people, have free, dom to . . . <k> as we wish, succeed or fail, advance or stand pat, etc., but we haw this choice ourselves. After the talk many questions were asked by the group and very well answered by Mr Griffith. The entire* program was enjoyed very much by everyone present and those attending feel the real loss belongs to those who failed to take the opportunity to hear Griffith The next Chamber meeting will be Thur ’iv August 12. probably at n<x»n at H- d's Dining Room unless something comes up in the meantime to change plans. Plan now to attend whewer or wh«oeve- it is he’l Remember. 'lt (o-a. pvo the Chamber aM You!" .
