FELIX McKNIGHT IS
PRINCIPAL SPEAKER
Felix McKnight, assistant man-
aging editor of the Dallas Morning
News, and one of the South's best
known radio commentators, was
principal peaker for the annual
Albany Chamber "I Commerce
banquet held Tuesday evening in
the high chool auditorium. Mr.
McKnight, who recently returned
from the San Francisco Confer-
ence, was asked by the program
committee to select a date conven-
ient for him to come to Albany,
and thus he set the date for thi*
meeting.
Mr. McKnight, having -pent a
great amount of time in army
camps during the past .four years,
reported G. I.' are asking ques-
tions about the actions of the peo-
ple at home, and then he read ex-
cerpts of a letter written to John
L. Lewis and striking miners writ-
ten by a service man in the Pacific.
McKnight told of his impres
sions of the San Francisco Confer-
ence, stating the conference must
not fail, since, as Anthony Ftleti
said, "It is civilization's last chance
to save itself from destruction by
war." He told of the conflict be-
tween Molotov nnd America and
Britain, and said the Russians
were realists and didn't believe in
I international politic:.
The Chamber of Commerce lim-
ited plates to 200 this year, and
every plate was taken. The gym
had been decorated with stream-
ers of red, white and blue. On the
speaker's table were bowls of
white petunias and shasta daisies.
Canna leaves were banked in front
of the speaker's table, and bowls
of Russian thistles and petunias
centered the other tables.
Rev. J. A. Owen gave the invo-
cation, followed by the meal pre-
pared by Mrs. L. K. Fainter, u-
perintendent of the school lunch
room, and served by thirty young
ladies from the school,
Roy Matthews, president of the
chamber, served as presiding off;
cer for the meeting, and recog-
nized visitors, and later reviewed
accomplishments of the chamber,
and told of the program foi the
coming year.
