In order for water sports on Lake Raven in Huntsville State Park to

lake has been zoned as shown above. In end set aside for fishing and
swimming, boats arc limited to 5 mph, but other end is open for
speed boats and skiers.

We’ve run out of space in the Refinery—in one certain case, that
is. A firewall was needed around Tanks 496 and 497 adjacent to SO:
Plant No. 1. However, because of the closeness of the SO, Plant on
one side and a road, tanks and other equipment on the back and
other side, not enough space was available for the usual earth-type
firewall. The only solution was to build a concrete wall along these
three sides. Part of the wall is shown in the picture. Space was avail-
able, however, along the front side, and the usual earthen firewall
was built. In addition to enclosing the two tanks above, the firewall
also includes two lubricating oil tanks, No. 494 and 495. Tanks 496
and 497 contain narrow cut light cat naphtha used at Treater 20.

An unusual feature to be found at Lake Belton is the large building
in the center of the picture where fishing in the lake is done from
inside it. For a small fee of 50 cents, visitors can fish all day in
sheltered comfort, and employees have reported good catches of
crappie, bass and perch.

In the series of articles that have been appearing in BRIEFS suggesting places that em-
ployees might enjoy for a week-end trip or family vacation, a few state parks, such as
Garner and Balmorhea, were included. However, there are a large number of these state
maintained public playgrounds that have not been mentioned yet. This week, let’s visit
some of them and their surrounding areas to see what vacation possibilities they have to
offer to Humble employees who want to get away for a few days of pleasure.
Starting on the Gulf Coast by taking Highway 35 and traveling about 170 miles from
Baytown, vacationers will find a state park at Goose Island, which offers such seashore rec-
reation as swimming, boating, fishing and camping. One of the park’s natural attractions is
its big tree, one of the largest live oaks in existence. It has a trunk circumference of 50
----------2, feel at its base. Other interesting
cases, management has approved
the purchase of textbooks al
Company expense for certain op-
erating groups.
At the present lime, 85 em-
ployees have completed the
course in arithmetic, and 60 are
actively enrolled. The course
ranges from elementary mathe-
matics to higher forms of the
subject, depending upon the stu-
dent’s individual background.
Employees taking the math
course use a special book to
study as they work lesson sheets
prepared for each of the book’s
37 chapters. The lesson sheets
are then sent to the Training De-
partment for grading.
Employees interested in taking
either of the courses may contact
M. D. Bailey at the Safety and
Training building for further in-
formation.
Mgape......sights to see in the surrounding
•C42"4 ; e area are the Marine Laboratory
, _ - 1- and Aquarium of the Texas Game
M -) uY U ■ and Fish Commission at nearby
Rockport; and the Aransas Wild-
life Refuge where America’s last
whooping cranes spend the win-
ter, and nearly 500 different
species of other birds can be seen
during the year.
About 40 miles due west of
Rockport, on U. S. Highway 59,
is Lake Corpus Christi State
Park. At this largest fresh water
lake in South Texas, the stale has
provided facilities for fishing,
swimming, camping, dancing
and skating.
Swinging on inland to the
north central part of the slate,
the traveler finds similar facili-
ties at parks located on Possum
Kingdom Lake near Mineral
Wells, and on Lake Whitney near
Hillsboro. Both places are consid-
ered good for a fishing vacation.
Although not a stale park, Lake
Bellon near the town of Belton
and some 50 miles south of Lake
Whitney has been reported as a
good vacation spot by a number
of employees.
Over in East Texas, Tyler
State Park, on Highway 14 just
north of the city of Tyler, is
rapidly becoming a popular place
with employees. Several Baytown
families are spending part of
their vacations there this week.
Among the towering pines sur-
rounding a 65 acre lake, are
camping areas, playground
equipment, bathhouse for swim-
ming, boats for fishing, and a
concession building with dining
room and dance terrace. Another
attraction, enjoyed by young and
old alike, is an 18-hole miniature
golf course.
Back toward home, and less
than 100 miles from Bay town,
is one of the most recently de-
veloped parks in the state. It is
Huntsville State Park, and is lo-
cated six miles south of Hunts-
ville on U. S. Highway 75,
adjoining Sam Houston National
Forest. Giant trees shade the
land area of the park right down
to the shores of Lake Raven
about which the major activities
of the park are grouped.
In order that water sports of
all types may be fully enjoyed
without interference with each
other, the lake has been zoned.
Speed boats and skiers use one
segment, while swimmers and
fishermen are undisturbed in
other zones. The lake is well-
stocked with fish, and piers ex-
tending far out into it are used
by many for this sport. Camping
and picnicking facilities have
been provided, and it has one of
the best concession buildings in
the entire state park system.
Best of all, it is so close to Bay-
town that it makes a good week-
end trip whether you are on
vacation or not.

A semi-correspondence course
in physics is now available
through the Training Section.
The course is similar to that
which has been offered in arith-
metic for the past two years.
The physics course was made
available by Training after many
employees who finished the arith-
metic training expressed a desire
to continue similar studies. A
total of 33 have already signed
up for the new course.
The course consists of study
in the book “Basic Physics.” As
an employee finishes a chapter,
he answers the questions at the
end of the chapter, and sends
them to the Training Section for
grading.
All employees are eligible to
take the physics course, and may
purchase the textbook at the
wholesale cost of $6.60. In some
