PIONEERS PREPARE PARTY—By the time September rolls
around, Baytown Humble Pioneers will have gotten well under way for
their annual party—and what a party! From here it looks like the
biggest and best dinner and dance our otherwise staid elders ever staged.
Prexy Peanuts Bouillon and his annual banquet committee have been
preparing for this event all along through the year. By popular request
the Pioneers will hold their annual conclave in the Orchid Room at
Alabama Catering Service in Houston. They pulled out the stops on
food, entertainment, and dancing, plus a number of special events. The
entire evening’s festivities would cost twice as much as the tickets will
actually cost the Pioneers ($2.50 per person) because the Pioneer Club
will absorb the other half. So, beginning next month, tickets go on
sale for the big event of the year, Saturday, October 16. Reserve that
date now, make early plans and get your tickets now!

MIKE TO THE RESCUE—While swimming in
Double Lake near Cold Springs on July Fourth
week-end, Mike, seven year old son of D. E. O’Con-
nor, saw an eighteen months old boy fall into the
lake in deep water. When the youngster went under
completely and did not come up, Mike swam imme-
diately to the spot and pulled the young man out.
Mike’s parents assisted in getting the little fellow on
to the beach. He was choking, gagging, and finally
started coughing up water until he regained his
normal breathing. By that time his parents from
whom he had wandered arrived to take charge of
the baby. Mike’s father, Don, who works at No. 1

PATENT RECORD—Three U. S. patents in less than a year is the record of
Albert J. Shmidl, staf member of research and development division. His first patent
was issued on production of ammonium sulfate fertilizer using waste acid from
refinery processing. A large amount of commercial fertilizer is being manufactured
in the Houston area using such waste acid. His second patent is on the treatment of
sulfuric acid sludges containing aromatic sulfonic acids. It describes a method for
treating certain sulfuric acid sludges ordinarily very difficult to dispose of so that
coke particles are formed which settle easily. And now another patent has been
issued to Albert, co-authored by Ray L. Heinrich, also of research and development
division. Entitled “Oxidation Inhibitor,” it discloses a method for improving lubri-
cating oils in their resistance to oxidation by addition of complex compounds con-
taining nitrogen and sulfur.
