Since the valve was in the water
line to ELI and 2 exchangers,
it meant that they would have to
remain out of service unless the
obstruction was removed. The

NEW POOL SHAPING UP
Humble employees who were instrumental in promoting a new
swimming pool for the Lakewood, Wooster, and Brownwood areas
are shown above presenting a check for one-half of the cost of the
pool to Builder Walter Raney. On the left is John McClintock, one
of the first members to sign up for swimming privileges; Raney,
O. L. Clevenger, chairman of the construction committee for the
people in these areas; and Bill McElhannon, a member of Clevenger’s
construction committee. The pool, now half completed, is expected
to be ready for use about June 1. It is located near the Lakewood
Community Building.

REFINERY CLUB READY FOR BARBECUE
"Come on, man, start that smoke. This meal’s just wailing lo be
barbecued,” says James Mills, Baytown Refinery Club president,
as he holds a big hunk of beef while M. A. Lawson, right, and
Ernest Godfrey build a fire in the pit for their Humble Day barbecue
at Camp Reber tomorrow. Lawson and Godfrey will start “smoke
cooking” 1600 pounds of U. S. good beef this afternoon for an
expected crowd of 1600 people tomorrow.
Serving time has been set for 12 noon till 2:30 p.m. and from
3 p.m. till 5 p.m. In addition to the big barbecue and all the trim-
mings, there will be dancing all day on a special built platform to
the free music of a juke box. There will also be baseball games
played by little leaguers from Barrett Station. McNair and Oak
Addition. Colored Boy Scout troops will sell cold drinks with the
profits going to the scouts.
Mills says the dance originally scheduled at the V. F. W. Hall
has been called off. The club feels that with provisions made for
dancing all day, everyone will be too tired to continue that night.

One way to get past a locked
gate is to climb over, but when
the passage is blocked through
a gate valve, other steps have to
be taken. This situation came up
last week at No. 1 Cat Unit when
the stem in an eight inch gale
valve pulled loose from the
double disks, leaving the valve
blocked with no way to open it.

line at home—a plumber was
called.
Jack Ford, Pipe Department
plumber and his helper, R. F.
Malone, brought over their
Mueller tapping machine and
had the riggers hoist the 450
pound piece of equipment into
place. An “ell” was removed from
the downstream side of the •
plugged valve and a good valve
connected in its place. The ma-
chine was then connected to the ]
good valve which was opened to j
allow the culler of the lapping
machine to pass through and
drill out the blocking disks. Since I
I he disks were of extra heavy I
material, this had to be done in
two culling operations, bul with
the last disk lapped out, the
cutter shaft was retracted until
the new valve could be closed
and the lapping machine dis-
connected. Connections were then i
remade to the exchangers and
they were back in service again
in record time.
