A est Texas toi ~rt.Ess natives and turbulent politics,

R,'liamond mines on the fringe of thejungle, wild animals and mysterious cults.This was the Africa that came to the mindof Marlorie Stone when her husband Tomtold her of the new assignment PhillipsPetroleum Company had in store for them .The day Thomas Barton Stone, '51 bs, re-

ceived the news was just like any other day.He was working as usual in his office atPhillips' cat'xxt black plant in Borger, Tex.,when a company official walked in andasked Stone if he would like to go to SouthAfrica as contact men in setting up a newcarbon black industry .

"I nearly went through the floor," Stoneremembers, "and my wife almost wentthrough the ceiling."

At first Mrs. Stone was less than enthusi-astic about taking the couple's year-olddaughter, Leslie Kay, to the Dark l..nti-nent . But soon misgivings waned and ex-citement took over-excitement at the pros-pect of the trip and the opportunity forher husband.Stone still has no idea how he was cho-

sen to spend the next year and a half over-seas. Neither he nor his wife has ever beenoutside the United States, except for the

two years Stone spent in the Army of Oc-

cupation in Korea, 1945-47.

After finishing college, he joined Phil-lips, following in the footsteps of his fath-er, Warren Stone, now retired in Bartles-ville.The new plant will he at Port Elizabeth,

Union of South Africa, but the Stones areliving in Johannesburg for the time being.

Several U. S. rubber companies are al-

ready in South Africa . Phillips reasoned

it would be more economical to manufac-

ture carbon black, a key ingredient in tires,

near these markets than to ship it from

stateside plants, such as the one in Borger .

Stone is adviser on design and purchase

of materials to the Johannesburg contractor,

who will build the plant as a joint enter-

prise of Phillips and the South Africa In-

dustrial Development Company. Stone is

the only representative Phillips has on the

site .The new company, to be called Phillips

Carbon Black Co. (Proprietary) limited,

will import the oil for manufacture of its

product. Native labor will be employed,

but must be trained for work in the plant.

Being typical grandparents, the elder Mr .

and Mrs. Stone were just a little dubious at

south Africa

Tom Stone

lengthy separation from their young grand-daughter, but both were enthusiastic well-wishers when their son and his family be-gan their flight to Johannesburg Septem-ber 23 .

Stone's two brothers are also O.U . men,Lee Warren, '41bus, '41Law, an attorneyin Dewey, and William Donald, '41bus, anaccountant, who lives with his family in

Allendale, S. C.Language didn't prove much of a barrier

for the Stones during their South Africanhousehunting, which began immediatelyafter arrival October 1 . Most of the peoplethey met spoke English, and a special di-

alect combining English, Dutch and anAfrican tongue is reportedly easy to master .Now that they have had time to recover

from the initial shock at the thought ofAfrica, Mr. and Mrs. Stone are findingconditions to be much as they are in the

United States, especially in the modern city

of Johannesburg . How much of their stay

will be spent in Johannesburg remains to

be seen .There will be no trips home for the

Stones, but they do plan to do some travel-

ing during their once-in-a-lifetime adven-

ture. They visited New York City, Paris

and Rome on their trip to their new home

and are already planning other excursions.

As for what the future holds upon their

return to the United States, Tom Stone

won't hazard a guess. At any rate, it is

certain to be a year and a half he will never

forget .
