To Employees
W ant to make a small invest-
ment that may save your life, or
the lives of members of your
family?
The investment for each life
you might save is $4.78. That
is the cost of auto seat belts now
available to employees at the
Safety Warehouse. This type of
belt normally sells for about $10.
The belts may be purchased
on the payroll deduction method,
or by cash. They come in six
different colors—maroon, gray.

being applied for the first lime
in the Refinery on the turnaround
at No. 6 Pipe Still. The new
planning technique is called
“Arrow Diagramming” and is a
charted course which points the
way to completing a job in a
minimum of time.
The arrow diagramming
method of planning work is like
a road map with arrows express-
ing each phase of the overall job.
These arrows are placed in the
sequence of steps that are re-
quired to keep the job moving
toward completion. In other
words, the work is planned so
that no phase of the turnaround
will hold up another phase, but
allows part of them to be carried
out concurrent with each other.
The amount of time required
to complete each part of the job
is estimated and recorded by the
arrow representing it. The se-
quential steps requiring the great-
est length of estimated time to
move from the start to the finish
of the job is called the “critical
path” and is indicated by a heavy
line on the diagram. Each step
that can be taken concurrent with

Compound building to eliminate
a falling hazard.
O. K. Callaway, Solvents, re-
ceived $10 for two suggestions
Vie submitted.

Have New Dependents?
Be Sure To List Them
Employees participating .in
Blue Cross-Blue Shield hospitali-
zation must register newly ac-
quired dependents in order to
assure coverage. This may be
done by completing the proper
forms at the A & B office.
Failure to register a depend-
ent will result in the insurance
carrier denying benefits since no
dependent is covered unless of-
ficially listed as a participant.
Committee chairmen have
been named and are now busy
at work making plans and ar-
rangements for the Baytown Re-
finery Club’s annual picnic to
be held at Camp Reber May 12.
Heading the event is general
chairman Samuel Goodlow,
League baseball game to be
played in the afternoon. Visiting
hours will last all day, of course,
for employees, annuitants and
members of their families.
An interesting event of the
day, which has been a feature
of the picnic for several years,
will be awarding of a scholarship
by the Refinery Club to a senior
student of some high school in
the Club area. This year the
scholarship will be awarded on
a competitive basis, going to the
student that makes the highest
mark on a theme. The title of
the theme will be announced
later.
The Refinery Club has ap-
proximately 250 members at
present. Some 2,000 are expected
at the picnic, including members,
their families, annuitants and
guests.
Club dues are $2 per year,
with each member entitled to
free barbecue tickets for him-
self and members of his family.
Guest tickets are being sold for
$1 each. Both membership and
guest tickets are available from
any club director up to April 30.
April 17 Deadline
For TriCo Orders
April 17 is the last day TriCo,
Humble-sponsored Junior
Achievement company at Robert
E. Lee high school, will accept
orders for the stamp caddy being
manufactured and sold by the
company.
The students who operate
TriCo must fill all their orders
and dissolve their business be-
fore the end of school.
To date, the J A company has
received over 450 orders for
stamp caddies. The caddy sells
for 82.21, plus 4 tax.
Jean Ann Williams, Accounting, is pictured demonstrating how to
fasten the auto seat belt now on sale at a reduced price to employees.
Just slide a catch into place and it is fastened. Just a lift at the edge
of the buckle with a finger, and it’s unfastened.
M. L Gillis is Promoted
To Supervising Engineer
M. E. Gillis has been pro-
moted to supervising engineer in
Process Technical Division at
Humble Oil & Refining Com-
pany’s Bay town refinery. He
supervises the butyl and buta-
diene section of the Butyl, Buta-
diene and Solvents department.
This group provides day-to-day
guidance of plant operations and
supplies design of plant modi-
fications. Just preceding his new
assignment, Gillis was project
manager of the most recent ex-
pansion of the Butyl Plant.

It is recommended that the
seat belts be installed at a repu-
table garage. Local garages
charge a nominal price for their
installation. Instructions for their
installation are included in the
package.
The bells sold at the Refinery
have metal-to-metal fasteners,
which arc so simple to operate
that a four-year-old child should
be able to fasten and unfasten
them. They are so designed that
a light lift with a finger or
thumb is all that is required to
unfasten them.
Seat belts have been proved
to be effective in reducing fatal-
ities or serious injuries due to
automobile collisions. Their
greatest advantage is in prevent-
ing an occupant from being
thrown from the car in a colli-
sion. A study made at Cornell
University shows that the risk
of death is five times greater for
those thrown from a car than
for those remaining in the car
in an accident.
If you are driving and have
an accident, a seat belt helps you
in several ways: 1) it reduces
the force with which you hit the
steering wheel; 2) it helps pre-
vent a serious injury—collision
of the knees with the dashboard,
which often drives the upper leg
bone back to shatter the pelvis;
3) it often helps you retain con-
trol in a minor crash by keeping
you from being knocked away
from the wheel and brake.
R. P. Verbeek, deputy collector
of U. S. Customs at the Refinery
Docks, was honored recently by
U. S. Customs officials, and Hum-
ble Marine and Docks personnel
when he completed 35 years of
service with the Customs depart-
ment. He is pictured (right) re-
ceiving his 35-year lapel emblem
from Sam D. W. Low, collector of
customs for the Galveston District.
The coffee-and-cake party at which
Verbeck was honored was held at
the Dock office. He has served
regularly at the Baytown customs
office since 1956.
