Baytown Banquet Highlights Blalock and McElroy
Nearly 400 attended the Baytown Chamber of Commerce banquet as Blalock of Marshall charmed the audience with country humor and cautions against a “soft” nation. The event installed new officers led by J W Jacky Strickler as president, and honored the late Nelson McElroy, whose 17th year as chamber manager was remembered. Blalock urged industrial growth, warned against welfare state excess, and predicted major changes ahead, while stressing faith and hard work.
