Work starts soon on widening
about 250 feel of Crosby Street
adjacent to the Asphalt Loading
Rack to eliminate a potential
safely hazard. The street will be
widened from 20 feel to 24 feel.
The additional width, along
with the relocation of two sewer
vents, will provide sufficient clear-
ance for large vehicles to safely
pass parked asphalt trucks loading

Next Tuesday is Poppy Day.
Several members of the local
American Legion Auxiliary de-
partment will be selling poppies
on that day in Baytown and at
Baytown Refinery in order to help
hospitalized veterans.
THE MONEY you give is used
in several ways. Some of it goes
directly to the disabled veteran for
spending money. Part of it goes
into a local welfare fund to aid
the veteran and his family. Pro-

Humble Extends Air
Lift To Offshore Rigs
By addition of a seven-pas-
senger helicopter to its Gulf fleet,
Humble has extended airlift serv-
ice to all its offshore rigs in the
Grand Isle area.
TWO BIG Sikorsky helicopters
fly drilling crews to and from the
five rigs operating in the district.
Helicopter service will be extend-
ed to two additional rigs when
they go into operation later this
fall.
The big planes average 12 round
trips between the land base and
offshore rigs daily, in 6 hours and
15 minutes of flying time. They
haul about 110 passengers a day.
When the new rigs go into serv-
ice, the helicopters will make up
to 25 round trips daily and carry
more than 150 passengers.
In addition to the passenger
planes, Humble uses a smaller

mistake one for the other. In the picture above, Coltharp is

A more versatile type of
sample storage lank is now in
use in the Pilot Unit area.
Transport type steel sample
tanks—six of them now in use and
eight more being prepared for
service—reduce the demand for
railroad lank cars. During past
years, samples used for Pilot Unit
charge slocks have been stored in
railroad lank cars spotted on sec-
lions of little-used trackage in the
Refinery. By using the lank cars
for storage, handling of drums was
minimized and a uniform sample
was assured.
WITH THE new, 4,000-gallon
storage drums to lake part of the
load, the tank cars will be free for
use elsewhere. The tanks are de-
signed to be moved about the
Plant by straddlebuggies.
A surfaced area north of Pilot
Unit Building G, I and K has been
provided for parking the tanks.
IN THE photo, Insulators Lewis
C. Walker (top) and Harry Lind-
strom lie insulating material to one
of the new tanks. Note the base
provided for the lank so that it can
be picked up by a straddlebuggy
and deposited al a new site with-
out fuss or bother. Each lank is
also equipped with a lop inlet, a
bottom outlet and internal steam
coils.
About this lime every year, the
Federal Credit Union sends out
audit cards to all members. it’s
the best way, they find, to gel a
complete audit of all pass books.
E. H. Parris, O. L. Underwood
and O. M. Harmon of the Ac-
counting department who are con-
ducting the audit, ask that Credit
Union members check the loan
and share balances (as of Sep-
tember 30) on the card with their
records to see if they are in agree-
ment.

wasn’t until about a year ago that people began telling them
