Q. Do they ever check the
gasoline in the pumps at
Humble service stations to
be sure that it isn’t contami-
nated or that it is the grade
of gasoline it is supposed to
be? I had my car filled with
Enco Plus at one Humble
station in Baytown and my
car was jumpy and jerky and
didn’t take that gas too well.
Then I had it filled with the
same grade of gasoline at
another Humble station in
town, and the trouble cleared
right up and my car ran
fine. I’d just like to know if

Disabling Injury No. 4
The refinery’s fourth disabling injury for this year, illustrated above,
occurred recently when a chief operator at the LEFU fell as he was
inspecting a tube bundle. He stepped on the end of a board overhanging
its support and fell about seven feet, hitting on his shoulder. He sus-
tained fractures which disabled him.

native of Bellville where he grad-
uated from high school. He
served in the armed forces dur-
ing World War I. Before joining
Humble, he had worked 15 years
for a sulphur company at Old
Gulf. He began his employment
with Humble in the Bay town re-
finery labor department in Janu-
ary 1935. In October that same
year he transferred to Distilla-
tion where he worked until Feb-
ruary 1937 when he transferred
to the Cracking Coils. After
working 13 years at the Crack-
ing Coils, he joined the operat-
ing staff of FCCU No. 2. A
year later he transferred to the
Thermal Poly unit and was an
operator at that unit at the time
of his retirement, August 1, 1958.
He is survived by his widow,
Mrs. Ruth Pauline Lierman of
Bay town; two sons, Frank Steves
of Miami, Florida, and Sterling
Steves of Fort Worth; two
daughters, Mrs. Marjorie Emke
of Miami and Mrs. Helen Mc-
Whorter of Baytown; three
brothers, Walter Lierman of San
Antonio, Andrew Lierman of
Houston and Eddie Lierman of
Bellon; two sisters, Mrs. Edna
Evans of Bellville and Mrs. Lin-
nis Nichols of Fair Oak, Califor-
nia.
Q. When did Standard of
New Jersey last pay an extra
dividend? What is meant by
an extra dividend? And
when did Standard Oil of
New Jersey last split?
A. We do not know of any
extra dividend being paid by
Jersey Standard. An extra divi-
dend is one that is specified to be
extra by the company or concern
declaring the dividend. A divi-
dend may be higher than previ-
ous dividends but not be consid-
ered an extra dividend. For the
past several years the dividend
declared by Jersey for the last
quarter has been higher than the
dividend declared for the pre-
ceding quarters. It has not been
called an extra dividend. For ex-
ample, in 1963 a dividend of 65$
a share was declared for each of
the first three quarters, and in
services were
held Tuesday in

GCIWU Ballots Mailed

ment, union officials said.

pumps at Baytown stations is not
checked on a regular basis; how-
ever, a specific station is checked
whenever a complaint is received
concerning the product at that
station. If you will identify the
station to Leonard Derden of the
Baytown Marketing Terminal,
the station will be checked.
cent coupons that were
mailed out with the state-
ments to courtesy card hold-
ers on the discounts on the
purchase of Atlas tires. It
seems that this is rather un-
fair to people who bought
tires, say, in March or April,
and then we find that if we
had waited until May we
could have saved a substan-
tial percentage of the pur-
chase price of these tires.
Would you please comment
on this in the next issue of
the Briefs?
A. The coupons are good for
April and May. Unfortunately,
some card holders did not re-
ceive theirs until the first of
May. If you bought your tires
in April before receiving your
coupon, then call Leonard Der-
den al the Baytown Marketing
terminal (Extension 2121), and
he will be glad to discuss the
problem with you.
Q. What are the possibili-
ties of using Escon plastics
in the manufacture of boats
such as those that are pres-
ently being built from fiber-
glass? I am sure that there
are some manufacturing
drawbacks, but are there cer-
tain advantages and disad-
vantages to a boat being built
from this material?
A. Advantages of Escon over
fiberglass are lower material cost
and lighter density. However,
disadvantages appear to outweigh
these advantages. The cost of
fabrication from Escon would be
higher than from fiberglass, par-
ticularly in the larger sizes. In
addition, such properties as re-
Houston.
Born and reared in Fayette-
ville, Heintschel came to Bay-
town in 1919 and worked in the
Goose Creek oil fields until he
was employed by Humble. He
was employed at Baytown Re-
finery February 28, 1922 as a
helper in the Pipe department.
His entire service with the com-
pany, 36 and one-half years,
was as an employee of that de-
partment. When he retired Au-
gust 1, 1958, he was the general
foreman of Pipe, the position
he had held since July 1, 1939.
For one seven-month period in
1933-’34, he was on a loan as-
signment to the Jersey Standard
refinery in Aruba.
In 1953, Heintschel was
named “Boss of the Year” by
the Bay town Junior Chamber of
Commerce. He was active for
many years in the Baytown and
East Harris Community Chest,
serving on the board of direc-
tors of the Thrift Fund.
Survivors include his widow,
Mrs. Elenora Heintschel of
Baytown; a daughter, Mrs. Da-
vid Conway of Baytown; a son,
Joe Fred Heintschel of Jacinto
City; his mother, Mrs. Henry
Heintschel of Fayetteville; a
brother, Charles Heintschel of

sistance to impact and vibration
would be less for Escon than for
fiberglass, which would make
reinforcement of critical sections
more difficult. Incidentally, small
portable foldable boats making
use of the living hinge principle
have been made of polypropyl-
ene; however, these have not
been intended for use with mo-
tors.
Q. I would like to know
why it is we can’t get some
of these lst-class riggers out
in the field. There are sev-
eral of them driving pick-up
trucks around here and we
need them in the field very
badly.
Q. I understand that the
management is wanting to
cut expenses out in this re-
finery, and I was wondering
how long it would take them
to wake up to the fact that
they got first-class riggers
driving pick-up trucks, pay-
ing them $3.50 an hour, and
that the old truck drivers—
they ran them to the labor
gang. I was wondering when
the Company would see into
that and let us old drivers
know about it.
A. All employees in the Rig-
ging department are presently
receiving first-class rate. They
are assigned to do any job that
calls for the skill of a rigger,
such as operating cranes, back-
hoes, bulldozers, street sweep-
ers, Gradalls, earth drills, or
any other piece of motorized
equipment. They may also be
assigned to field rigging on days
or on offshifts. If additional
manpower is required in the
Rigging department, those em-
ployees who are in the Labor
department and are “cutbacks”
from Rigging will be offered the
opportunity to return in the re-
verse order of their reduction.
