On the eve of the annual barbecue
and all-day celebration at Bay town,
Saturday, May 6, comes also an-
nouncement of plans for a similar
yearly event now under way at Ingle-
side refinery, as both employes’ Hum-
ble Clubs inaugurate one of the
largest summer programs of leisure-
time activities in the history of the
two clubs.
Of interest also, is the announce-
ment of the huge Humble Day cele-
bration at Sylvan Beach park in June,
under the sponsorship of the Houston
office employes’ Humble Club.
The annual barbecues of these
three live-wire employes’ social and
recreational clubs provide a yearly
get-together for thousands of Humble
people, at which lime fun and fellow-
ship reign supreme.
For the small membership fee of
two dollars per year, employes at
Baytown and Ingleside refineries be-
come active members in the two
clubs, and enjoy all the privileges of
these two leisure-time organizations.
Right now, the Baytown club is
bringing to a close its annual mem-
bership drive during which time hun-
dreds of Humble employes have en-
rolled in the organization.
At Ingleside, the Humble club has
completed plans for its annual elec-
tion which will be held soon, at which
time a board of directors will be se-
lected to head the huge program at
that plant. Membership in the Ingle-
side club is also a nominal fee of
two dollars which entitles its mem-
bers to full privileges for a period of
one year from the date the member-
ship card is issued. This is a new
innovation in that club’s method of
handling membership fees and cards.
The change was made to provide
a convenient means for employes to

The latest addition to the large
list of current magazines and
newspapers available at all times
in the community building, is the
popular publication, “Fortune”
which has been included in the
subscriptions after numerous re-
quests had been received.
The Humble Club provides an
excellent variety of current pub-
lications for the enjoyment of all
Humble people in the library at
the community building. Com-
plete files are kept on certain
magazines, and you may refer to
back copies by letting your wishes
be known to Messrs. Haltmar,
Sullivan and Cheshire, those three
genial custodians of the commun-
ity building.
An unusually fine selection of
popular books on various sub-
jects is also maintained in the
library. These books may he
drawn out for a period of two
weeks under the same rules ob-
served by all rental and public
libraries.
become active members of the club,
and at the same time enable the di-
rectors to enroll members through-
out the year.
The Houston Humble Club fees are
slightly higher than those of the In-
gleside and Baytown organizations.
The Houston group sponsors activi-
ties similar to the refinery clubs, and
in June of each year, the home office
club is host to Humble people every-
where at the annual barbecue and
all-day celebration in Sylvan Beach
park on Galveston Bay, across the
Houston Ship Channel from Baytown.
Included in the huge summer sea-
son’s activities of the Baytown and
Ingleside clubs are the sponsorship
of recreational pastimes such as base-
ball, softball, tennis, badminton, ping
pong, golf, croquet, and bowling, in
addition to special entertainments,
and dances.
The directors and committeemen
of the organizations plan wholesome
activities according to the seasons,
whereby the greatest number of Hum-
ble people may enjoy the activities
with a minimum of cost to them. Each
week during the spring and summer,
the two clubs are hosts to several
thousand people at the various sports
events and entertainments.
The final program in a series of
spring-time entertainments sponsored
by the Ingleside Humble Club was
held Friday evening, April 14, in the
community building. Prizes were
awarded to the winners in the various
amateur divisions during the program
which was presented to an overflow
crowd.
Winners in the junior division in-
cluded Betty Jane Blanscet, vocal
soloist, first prize; Doris and Mar-
garet Hill, tap dancing, second place;
