Good housekeeping seems to have become a habit
at the Asphalt plant. For the first three months of
this year employees at the plant have kept things so
clean that scores under 10 were given at each
monthly inspection, with each score getting progres-
sively lower. In January it was nine, in February’
seven, then for March four.
Congratulations for their good housekeeping were
extended Asphalt plant people recently at a coffee

Community Building No. 1.

Credit Union Display
“Happy,” Humble’s cheerful oil drop which has become a familiar
figure throughout the nation, was prominently displayed at Galveston
last weekend. He was in the center of an attractive arrangement set up
by the Baytown Employees Federal Credit Union at the Texas Credit
Union League’s annual convention held at the Moody Convention Center.1
Pictured with the display, which drew lots of attention at the meeting,
is Mrs. Anna Mae Johnston, credit union employee who helped design
and set up the display. Also included was a Safety department figurine-
on which was placed a safety hat containing an educational committee
member’s decal, a pipe still model used for Refinery tours, a board
showing samples of materials used in the Refinery credit union’s educa-
tional program, and copies of CU Notes, the organization’s monthly
publication.
In several recent issues of
Briefs, a series of articles was
devoted to employees’ purchase
of stock through the thrift plan.
Here’s some more information
pertaining to other stock trans-
actions through the thrift plan
that you may find helpful:
If you want to sell stock in
your account, you can do so by
directing the trustee to sell it
for you. The trustee will sell it
at the market price and credit
this amount to your account. If
you prefer to do so, you may
have your stock sold through
your bank or broker.
If the shares are sold at a
higher price than they were pur-
chased for, an amount equal to
the profit is immediately avail-
able to you as a special with-
drawal, or can be included in
a regular withdrawal (provided
your lax-paid balance is suffi-
cient) .
If you hold stock outside the
thrift fund, you can deposit it

as well as other thrift fund trans-
actions, requires that you com-
plete the proper form in the A
& B Office.
The above transactions are
available to you whether stock in
your account is in your name
or the name of the thrift fund

when you sell stock, you can
choose what shares in your ac-
count you want to withdraw or
sell. You are no longer required
to follow the “first in-first out”
rule.
