Texan Hamed
President Rotary
International
Ralls, Texas. — Residents of
this South Plains town agree
Rotary International couldn’t
have made a better choice in
picking Ralls’ first citizen as
president of the sprawling or-
ganization.
He is congenial 65-year-old
J. Edd McLaughlin. He has giv-
en Ralls, a town of 2,500, the
distinction of being the smallest
town to produce a president of
the international organization.
Dr. Emmett Lynch, who has
known McLaughlin 34 years has
this to say about the man who
will take over the Rotary reins
July 1:
“He is the type of man any
child or adult would feel free
to sit and talk with.”
McLaughlin is president of
the Security Bank and Trust
Co., which his father founded
in 1912. He also has many other
interests.
Among his numerous attri-
butes is his quick wit.
In describing the weather of
his section recently, he said:
“I have lived in Ralls 50 years
and spent 49 looking for rain.
We don’t have normal weather
—it is either good or bad.”
Once in Fort Worth during a
dust storm, he commented:
“Just some of our surplus
blowing in.”
McLaughlin grew to wealth
from a humble beginning. He
was born in a half dugout in
Childress. His parents home-
steaded in Collingsworth Coun-
ty in 1900. His father founded
the town of McLean. The fam-
ily moved to Crosby County, in
which Ralls is located, in 1906.
The elder McLaughlin ran a
store and a lumber yard and
did some farming and ranching.
Later he founded the Ralls
Bank.
McLaughlin joined his father
in the bank after a year at West
Texas College at Canyon.
He has been given many hon-
ors and headed numerous civic
undertakings in Ralls. He is
president of the Ralls Rotary
Club and has a perfect attend-
ance record dating back to 1927.
He lives in a hotel the family
owns.
Mrs. Chas. J. Krause of Wes-
laco arrived Saturday night to
spend a week with her mother,
Mrs. Mary Haverda.
Shower Honors
Lillian Berger
The Shiner Lutheran Social
Hall was the setting of a bridal
shower for Miss Lillian Berger,
bride-elect of LeRoy Mueller,
Sunday, May 29 from 3:00 to
5:00 p.m.
Mrs. R. B. Eichhorn, cousin
of the groom-to-be, presided
over the register where 120
guests were registered. The reg-
ister table was covered with a
crocheted lace doily and held
a low vase of daisies and fern.
Upon entering to the strains
of the wedding march played
by Miss Irene Buske, the hon-
oree, dressed in a beige sheath,
was presented a white gladioli
corsage as were the mothers
who were dressed in light
green summer frocks.
The entertainment for the
afternoon was presented by
Miss Mabel Schroeder. The pro-
gram opened with a bit of news
by Miss Annabelle Seifert nam-
ed “I Don’t Know, But You
Should.”
Miss Buske played “My Hap-
piness” and Miss Rose Marie
Miculka asked, “Lillian, Do
You Remember?” To illustrate
that time was moving on, the
Kremling sisters and brother,
Delores, Pat and Marvin play-
ed and sang “Sail Along Sil-
very Moon.” Mrs. R. B. Eich-
horn told Lillian about “The
Changes That Are Bound To
Come.” Another selection was
presented by the Kremlings,
namely “Are You Mine?” To
close the program, Miss Joyce
Ann Mueller, sister of the pros-
pective groom, gave a bit of
advice—“What To Do With
These Gifts.”
The bride graciously thanked
everyone for the lovely and
useful gifts and to the 104 hos-
tesses for the beautiful 7-piece
dinette set. Special thanks were
expressed to Mrs. Rudy Schroe-
der for being chairman for the
lovely affair. She invited every-
one to attend the June 12th
wedding at the Shiner Luther-
an Church at 3:00 p.m. and to
the dance at Boedeker’s Place
at night.
The gifts were recorded by
Miss Rose Marie Miculka. They
were received and displayed by
Misses Gloria Bender, Marilyn
Harbers, Annabelle Seifert,
Joyce Ann Mueller and Mabel
Schroeder.
The refreshments consisted
of pressed ham salad sand-
wiches, pineapple topped white
cake, pickles, potato chips,
mints and orange-pineapple
punch. The table was covered
with a lace cloth with pink un-
derlay enhanced with an ar-
rangement of daisies. The cake
was decorated with a styra-
foam heart inscribed with “Lil-
lian and LeRoy” in pink and
two love birds were placed on
either, side of the heart. The
punch was poured by Mrs. R.
B. Eichhorn and Miss Joyce
Mueller while Miss Mabel
Schroeder served the cake. Miss
Annabelle Seifert handed the
plates to the guests.
CARD OF THANKS
In sincere gratefulness, I take
this means of expressing my
appreciation to Doctor R. W.
Williams and the entire hospital
staff for their splendid ser-
vices during my recent stay in
the hospital. Also thanks to
Rev. E. J. Oehlke for his visits
and prayers and to Rev. Father
John Hanacek for *his visit. I
am most grateful to all those
who visited me, sent cheer

Lee Sedlmeyer for complimen-
tary copies of the Gazette. Your
many kindnesses shall always
be remembered. May God bless
you all.
