McLellan County, Texas,
married to Mr. T. F. Johusto,n in
1890. Four children were born to
this union: Mrs. T. J. Tatum of Ed-
na, Mr. Howard 1.. Johnston of Hous-
ton, Mr. Searcy II. Johnston of Fort
Worth, and Mr. Melvili O. Johnston
of Houston. Three grandchildren and
one great grandchild are among the.
survivors. The family moved to Ed-
na in 1912.
The McCauley family was a pioneer
family of Texas. Mrs.- Johnston wad
converted and joined the Baptist
church in early girlhood and had been
active in church life. She was also
active in U. D. C. work.
Mrs. Johnston was a kind, gentle
Christian woman; a woman who lived
and practiced her religioli in every
day life and during her long residence
among our people these admirable attri-
butes of character endeared her to a
large circle of friends.
Relatives from out-of-town attend-
ing the funeral were Mr. and Mrs.
Hunter Bates and Mr Henry Me
Cauley from Charlotte, Mr. and Mrs.
Jess Monroe, Mrs. N. J. Tomlinson of
San Antonio,' Mr. and Mrs. Raymond
Fry and Donna Lynlhe from McAllen,
Mr. and Mrs. Ward Fryer from Ray-
mondville, Mr. and Mrs. Maryon Me
Cauley, Mr. and Mrs. Ben McCauley,
Mrs, Bryan Wilcox from Beaumont,
and Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Platt of
Nacogdoches.
O
dldate, a man experienced in business
and politics. He is our fellow towns-
man, Howard W. Wells. Many years
ago Mr. Wells served as representa-
tive from our district, and-bis record
as such is a good one. In these peril-
ous times we believe we should place
iu responsible political office men who
are seasoned and experienced, aiid
men who are able to render the dis-
trict and t be state valuable service.
The Herald would like to see Mr.
Wells fill this office again for we know
him and know liis worth. To experi-
ment with men iu this office in these
strenuous and troublesome limes
would be both ufiwise abd risky, ac-
cording to our opinion.

Jprdon Nowlin left Monday for
d, in West Texas, to elnjoy
vacation, and also to
and Mrs. Wayne Nowlin.
This writer was “among those pres-
ent" at the open house at the thirty
million dollar Alcoa's Point Comfort
Plant Sunday.
It was our first visit to the
plant proper notwithstanding the fact
we had passed within a few hundred
yards of it many times. It is located
just off Highway 3T> (Hug-the-Coast)
to the South on Lavaca Bay at Point
Comfort (Mitchell’s Point,) across the
Bay from Port Lavaca.
The buildings cover over 18 acres
of ground. The open house tour be-
gan at the Administration Building
which is one of the most modern and
best equipped office buildings in the
South. The tour carried thousands
of visitors through every department
of the big aluminum plant which meant
a journey of about two miles. How-
ever, the interesting and novel sights
one saw made the trip seent less than
half that distance.
‘Aluminum in the raw"—the ore,
beauxite, etc—was first on exhibition
and then the process was followed un-
til the spectator saw the finished pro-
duct in the form of “pigs," great slabs
of aluminum.
The tour of the plant was the best
“organized system" this writer ever
saw. There was “system" throughout
the 2 miles of taped route. At the half
way mark a r est depot was provided
for those who grew wearly, and at the
end of the Journey there was a great
big tent, as large as a circus tent in
whose shade all maimer of soft cold
drinks, cakes,, ice cream, etc., were
served. This was all on Old Man
Alcoa.
During the hours from 9 to 4 there
were literally thousands of interested
spectators making the trip through
the huge plant.
The construction of the Plant begun
in 1948. The first aluminum ever
made in Texas was poured at this
plant February 11, 1950. Prior to
1948 the site had been a cattle ranch
and had been for over 100 years.
The plant Is located on a 3000 acre
tract on the east short of Lavaca Bay,
