Rotary Talk Spotlight Across District Meetings
Rotary Talk and a low production capacity were cited as reasons by Miler. Seven million Communists in Russia and a large, indifferent population were described as little people. Religion wanes in the Soviet Union with training gaps for younger generations. Monticello Rotary president Dave Duckler welcomed members and introduced club leaders from Mt. Vernon Lisbon Anamosa. District Governor Joe Sage of Waterloo attended as a special guest. Arch Edwards led the meeting as master of ceremonies and the dinner was served by St. Luke's Methodist church women.
