...economic-affairs adviser in the U.S. State Department from 1944 to 1947, calm, courtly William Lockhart Clayton preached the gospel of freer world trade and the responsibility of U.S. businessmen to finance industrial development abroad. Last week, as boss of Anderson, Clayton & Co., world-trading cotton brokers, Will Clayton showed just what he meant. In Mexico, alongside the highway from Saltillo to Monterrey, rimmed by 12,000-ft. peaks of the Sierra Madre, he opened a new $3,000,000 food-processing plant.

In whatever dining room the family happened to be using along its gospel travels, father Pugmire always hung the motto: "Christ is the head of this house, the unseen guest at every meal, the silent listener to every conversation." Family prayers were said every morning and every night. Serious-minded Ernest read to improve himself, learned to play the euphonium. Occasionally he used his fists capably when the boys in the neighborhood taunted him about his parents being Salvationists...
