A)to is justifiably proud of
severat new buildings and busi-
ness *s which some of our Home-
coming visitors probably haven't
seen. Pictured this week is the
A. Frank Smith Methodist Church
which was ended in I960 and
the new Post Office building
adjoining the Alto Telephone Co.
WhenthcTelephoneCo., buitd-
ingis completed Alto will go t<o
the dial system. We will miss the
famitiar "Number Please," but
sentiment] must give way to pro-
gress.
Here you see the new sanc-
tuary of the First Baptist Church
which '.yas completed in Decem-
ber, 19H3.
This smalt building is felt by
many to be one of the most im-
portant in town, The Stella Hilt
Library. It is fairly well stocked
with worthwhite books and is
used by a)) age groups.
The library is sponsored by the
Thursday Study Club and is
maintained entirely by dona-
tions.
We have arranged to have the
tihraryopenon Saturday, Oc-
tober 2 from 2:30 until 4:30. We
woutd like to urge interested
visitors to go by and see what wc
have.
We sell "Friends of the Li-
brary" membrship cards for
$1.00. Any ex-Altoite who would
like can purchase one at the li-
brary. If you feel real generous
we will accept a larger donation.
Mrs. Emma Watters, cur faith-
ful and efficient hbrarian, witl
be there tio show yau around.
Here you see the new bank
building in the place where tlhe
Hi-Way Coffee Shop stood when
we had the first Alto Home
coming. The bank extends to you
a mos: eordia: invitation tc
visit then*, while in Alto for
Homecoming.
A portion of the treating plant
owned by Rav Guinn shows the
debarker drum which processes
the post before they receive their
bath of oil. The plant is located
just north of Alto on the Rusk
Road near Battman Lumber
Company.
This is the intersection of High-
ways 21 and 69 and more history
can be written about this
gpot ar.d the many, many pio-
neers who have trod this way
than most nearly any other
ptace in Texas.
. Through these portals wiR
pass all those hungry pen;):!?
who have purchased BAR-B-Q
Tickets. We promise you a fine
meal andamost enjoyable eve-
ning of fellowship. A special
appea) is being made to the local
Aito people to purchase your
tickets now in order for the
Foods Committee to know ap-
proximately how many to pre-
pare for.
The Bauman Lumber Com-
pany was established in 1960 by
Jim Bauman and Gus Whiicman
for the manufacturing of 2x4
studs used in dwelling construc-
tion. The mill was the first in
Texas to instalt a process known
as'Millhrite" which coats the
ttuds and seals out the moisture.
M^st all modern miits have now
gone ton similar process or the
"MiHbrite" treating. Bauman Mili
has a capacity of 23,000 ft. per
day of finished studs. The above
picture was taken at the debarker
and rhi'As finished studs which
have been but died into stacks of
1600 ft f"f shipment. You wiil
not see the large fire that is com-
mon with most mitts because
practically all the waste goes in-
to chips for shipment to the
Southland Paper Mill for paper
manufacturing.

A!to Wins Opener,
14 To Over
Garrison
The Atto Yeilow Jackets gave
notice to their home District
Friday night that they are going
to be in the batttc for the dis-
trict championship as they rolled
over a highly favored Garrison
eleven 14 to 12
Ravford Smith, 160. pound
halfback, scored one touchdown
forthcJackets in the second
quarter on a 45-yard punt re-
turn with six minutes t^ go be-
fore the half and carried the bait
13 times for 78 yards in the last,
two periods of play. A 37-yard
end sweep by Gary May ac-
counted for the second tally for
Alto and Danny Weaver added
the winning margin of points on
a plunge through center for two
extra points.
Garrison's Buddy Adkison,
hurled a 25-yard pass to End
Sammy Clitton for a tally in the
first period and Ricky Wright
got the second tally in the fourth
period.
Playing in hot, humid atmos-
phere on the gridiron, both
teams fell victim of near-heat
exhaustion and muscle spasms
before a capacity crowd packed
into Bulldog stadium.
tn the third period the YeDow
Jackets drove to the Garrison
to but the Bultdogs held at that
line to take over the ball on
downs.In the next play Garri-
son bobbled the ha! I and Don
Carter recovered for Alto at the
eight.
Again Garrison defenders held
and took over possession at the
one, after four downs. On the
next series, a pair of off-setting
15-yard penaities were assessed
the two teams. Gary May broke
around right end, picked up
three key blocks and scampered
into the pav country tn breakup
the deadiock and put the Jackets
out front 12 to 6. Weaver added
the two points on a plunge
through right tackle.
Garrison came right back to
close tile gap with a 65-yard
drive on t4 plays with Wright
carrying the last three yards to
paydirt. The try for the extra
point failed and the Atto Yellow
Jackets had their first game of
the season wrapped up as they
kept possession of the bat) dur-
ing the remainder of the game
advancing the kickoff tirom
their own 34 to the Bulldogs 18-
yard line when the finatgun
sounded.

the Gaston Red Devils at Alto

o'clock, tf you do not have your
