in the Plant.
Three new rates have been
established for the program. The
starting rate will be helper-
trainee. An employee will remain
in that rale for 18 months and
then move up to auto mechanic
third if he progresses satisfac-
torily. After 18 months as auto
mechanic third, he will go to
auto mechanic second, where he
will remain for one year. Then
he will graduate from the pro-
more office space in keeping with
expansion and reassignment of
personnel to the group in the
new Area System scheduled to go
into effect July 11.
Primary function of the Cen-
tral Planning group is to deploy
manpower and equipment in the
Refinery, and to serve as an over-
all guide for gathering statistical
data for the department.

Final details were being
worked out last week in prep-
aration for the start of the
new Garage training pro-
gram. The program is the result
of a request by the Baytown Em-
ployees Federation made early
in 1954.
The Company, after a series
of studies and analyses, submit-
ted a proposal to the Federation
early this year for study. The
agreed upon program went into
effect on May 19. It will afford
systematic training for employees
in the Garage department, who

gram into the top classification,
auto mechanic first.
Briefing sessions for prospec-
tive trainees were held last
week and qualification tests will
be held later. The number of em-
ployees to be placed in training
will depend on the need of the
department.
A dollar is not worth a
dollar these days, financial
experts say, and most of us
will agree with them. In fact,
it’s worth about half what it
used to be.
N. B. (Doc) Culver of the
Medical department has a penny
that would make a dollar bill
turn green with envy. His penny,
instead of decreasing in value,
has increased its worth 1,700
times.
Back in 1914, when the cent
was minted in Denver, it was
worth exactly one-fifth of a
nickel. Today it would sell on
the coin collectors’ market for
$17. That is, if Doc would sell it.
Chances are that he would be
reluctant to part with that ex-
pensive penny because it is the
most valuable of the 250 coins
in his collection. He has nickels,
dimes, quarters, halves and even
a few silver dollars in the group,
but they are outranked by the
Lincoln head cent piece made
in 1914.
Doc began collecting coins a
couple of years ago. He started RHB Unit Coming Down
with a few nickels and pennies The RHB Unit at the Rubber
and became so absorbed in the Plant is coming down Monday,
hobby that he soon added other June 6, for a major turnaround,

meeting nominated W. D. (Red)
Henderson for another term as

two opponents, R. R. Dawson,
now serving as vice-president,

former president.

nett; for secretary, J. L. Taylor
