John Candia
For many years John Candia worked in the South American fruit business.
In his talk this afternoon he will tell you what the interior of Paraguay was like in 1927 when he first visited it. He found a country of bad communications, not always friendly inhabitants, and far from friendly wild life. The story he tells is of how he travelled from Asuncion into the interior to give a lecture on fruit-packing to a native audience. Strange things befell him on the way, his lecture was not the success it might have been, and the night after it held further shocks.
