Jamieson New Company
Executive Vice President
The board of directors of
Humble Oil & Refining Company
has elected J. K. Jamieson as an
executive vice president of the
Company effective January 1,
1962. Mr. Jamieson will continue
to serve as a director of the Com-
pany and member of the execu-
-live committee.
M & C people anticipate that
digging for the Column 9 founda-
tion will be completed and erec-
tion of foundation forms will
begin by the middle of next
week. Then, erection of the unit’s
200-foot towers will begin late
in January.
The towers will be built
on one foundation, which will be
octagon shaped, about 62 feet
across and 12 feet thick. The
foundation will require 617
yards of concrete.
NRU Column 9, scheduled to
be in operation in about a year,
will produce ethylbenzene. Hum-
ble will supply this product for
the new plant to be built just
northwest of the Specialty area
by the Marbon Chemical Divi-
sion of Borg-Warner Corpora-
tion.
Marbon’s plant will supply
raw materials for “Cycolac”
plastics. It will have a capacity
of 75 million pounds a year.
“Cycolac” brand polymers pro-
duced by Borg-Warner are used
for high impact moldings, extru-
sions, and calendered sheets. At
its Gary, Indiana plant, Marbon
produces high-styrene reinforc-
ing resins for the rubber indus-
try.
The Refinery Chemical Devel-
opment unit was used in develop-
ing the Column 9 project to
study the process on which the
new unit’s operations will be
based, and in preparing test sam-
ples of the product for customer
evaluation.

Last Monday morning rigger
Bud Sheffield lifted a dragline
bucket full of mud from a site
just west of NRU Column 8, and
emptied the mud in a spot where
dozer operator H. S. (Red)
Smith could push it out of the
way. Thus, with no ceremony,
ground was broken for a soon-to-
be-built new Refinery unit, NRU
Column 9.
At the December meeting of
Humble Club directors, outgoing
president R. J. Lawrence, Tech-
nical, congratulated the directors
for the good year the club has
had.
“This has been a good group
of directors,” Lawrence said.
“My thanks and appreciation for
the good work done this year by
the remaining officers, committee
chairmen and other directors.
“In looking over the direc-
torate for next year,” Lawrence
continued, “I know that the club
will have another good year in
1962. The club, for the first lime
in several years, is now in a
financial position to broaden its
activities for members.”
Financially, this has been the
of us and prompts expressions of fellowship
club’s best year on record. This
is due to a broader vending pro-
gram in the plant, from which
the club receives a large portion
of its income, and to the close
watch kept on expenditures by
the directors.
Activities for the club during
the year were outstanding, also.
These included Humble Day, at-
tended by approximately 11,000
Refinery employees, members of
their families and guests; several
ballroom dances, various sports
activities for club members, and
functions of several individual
clubs sponsored by the Humble
Club.
Total receipts of the club
during the year will be approxi-
