Tube bundles that come to the Boilermaker shop for re-tubing
usually are so heavy that special lifting equipment is required to move
them. Consequently, Boilermaker J. W. Andress was somewhat sur-
prised when he received a tube bundle so small he could handle it
with one hand.
In fact, Andress says the 20-pound bundle he is holding in picture
above is the smallest one he has seen in the refinery. It is 15%" long,
5%2" in diameter, and contains 26 tubes 58"' in diameter. The minia-
ture-sized bundle goes in pump equipment at LEFU Column No. 1.
In comparison, Andress is standing beside a tube bundle which
came from the Butyl IHB unit. The larger bundle is 16' long, about
3' in diameter, and contains 534 tubes 1" in diameter.
Most of the activities slated
for the Baytown Refinery
Club picnic last Saturday
were washed away by heavy
rains, but the food serving,
good in any kind of weather,
was a big success, anyway.
Before the rainy day ended, Re-
finery Club members and their
families came by the picnic
grounds, located at Camp Reber,
and picked up 1,900 delicious
plates of barbecue—all which
was prepared for them by hard-
working picnic planners.
The committeemen, headed by
General Chairman Alfred King,

Employees at the MBA had a chance to become “sidewalk engineers”
this week without even getting out of the building. Watching Burl
Walters, a contractor carpenter, as he installs new wainscoting in the
reception room are, from his right, Mrs. Lois Chase, W. C. Peterson,
Miss Betty Jo Farr, S. C. Davidson, and Virgil Altwein, while Mrs.
Lorena Ingram looks on from her receptionist window at the left.
For Safety's
Sake, Be
Careful
Because of tomorrow’s Memo-
rial Day holiday, Briefs is out a
day early this week.
Do you remember an outstand-
ing accomplishment of last year’s
Memorial Day? Here’s one: Re-
fineryemployees observed it with-
out sustaining a single lost-time
off-the-job accident! Also, not
even a scratched finger was re-
ported to the Medical department
following the weekend’s activi-
ties. Nationwide, 550 deaths oc-
curred.
The highways are going to
be overcrowded again this year,
as last, and they will be just as
dangerous. Again this year, you
will want to guard against holi-
day weekend dangers. Some of
these are excessive speed, passing
without adequate clearance, di-
verted attention, driving after
drinking, tailgating, and of most
importance, failure to drive de-
fensively.

put 1,900 pounds of chicken and
beef on the pits Friday afternoon.
Two shifts of committeemen then
worked all night getting the meat
ready, cooking beans, making
potato salad, and slicing onions.
Then, early Saturday morn-
ing, the rain started. It lasted
until mid-afternoon, but it didn’t
dampen appetites. Club members
began streaming in about 11 a.m.
to pick up their food and take it
home to eat; and they kept com-
ing until it was all gone at six
that afternoon. They were pro-
tected from the weather in a wide

Mrs. Lorena Ingram, MBA re-
ceptionist, was kept busy most
of the week addressing letters
to nearly 500 annuitant mem-

expected doctors, and the re-
modeling work in progress on
the building.
icines will continue to be sold as
in the past.
The doctors will also be
available to the families and
others, but the MBA will not pay
for any services to non-members.
Although the MBA has been
without the services of a doctor
since March 20, some members
may be wondering why dues are
still being deducted from their
pay checks. However, a visit to
the MBA building—their build-
ing—this week would be enough
to convince them that these funds
are being put to good use. An ex-
tensive remodeling program is in
progress there that will increase
the convenience to members and
improve the appearance of the
building.
The remodeling, most of
which is interior and primarily
in the reception room area, in-
cludes the installation of acousti-
cal ceilings, new flooring where
needed, better lighting arrange-
ments, new wainscoting in the
reception room and halls, and
the installation of a single, large
Directors of the Baytown Mu-
tual Benefit Association an-
nounced this week that they ex-
pected to have two doctors lo-
cated in the clinic within the
next few days. As was previously
announced, these doctors will
work on a fee-for-service basis.
The MBA will pay their fees for
the medical care they give mem-
bers during regular office hours
at the clinic, but will not be re-
sponsible for their fees for any
surgery, or for medical care after
regular hours at the clinic and
in the homes or hospitals at any
lime. There will be no charge
to members for services of the
nurses and technicians, and med-
