In its 1956 annual report, Humble Oil & Refining Com-
pany looks back on forty years of progress since its organiza-
tion in 1917.

solidation of properties largely owned by its organizers and
first directors, including R. S. Sterling, F. P. Sterling, W. S.
Farish, R. L. Blaffer, W. W. Fondren, H. C. Wiess, and
C. B. Goddard. During 1917, the Company produced 8,800

TO SELL BULBS FOR NEEDY
Hundreds of light bulbs were being packaged this week by members
of the Wooster Lions Club who are going to canvass residents in the
Lakewood, Brownwood, Wooster and adjacent areas west of the Re-
finery on April 8, 9, and 10 in hopes of selling at least 500 packages
__enough to pay for eye examinations, glasses and medical eye treat-
ment for needy students. They also plan to provide a §200 college
scholarship for a high school senior in this area. Each package will
contain two 20-watt bulbs, two 75-wall bulbs, and five 100-watt bulbs.
Cost per package will be §2. Sacking up the bulbs in the picture above
are, from the left, R. C. Anderson, Service Laboratories, a member
of the sight conservation committee; Paul Cater, Treaters, Lions Club
president; and Orval Brown, Coordination, vice president.
The Wooster Lions Club, a new organization, is participating in
the sale of light bulbs for the first time. The veteran Baytown Lions
Club has sold bulbs for a number of years and will participate again
this year, canvassing homes east of the Refinery on the same dates.

Federal Credit Union Is
Approved As FHA Lending
Agency Up To $2,500
The Baytown Employees Fed-
eral Credit Union has been ap-
proved as a lending agency under
the Federal Housing Administra-

can now borrow up to §2,500
dollars for home improvements
and take up to 36 months to repay
the loan.
Home improvements in-
clude adding or remodeling
rooms, repair of house, or any-
thing else in the way of improv-
ing properly, but does not include
such things as building of swim-
ming pools, barbecue pits, and
the like.
An advantage of this type of
loan is that the individual who
has previous existing loans is still

ITS ALL USED ON ONE TURNAROUND
Turnarounds are sort of like a football game—they require
a lot of “blocks and tackles.” In the picture above, W. M.
Campbell, Rigging, checks over some of the chain blocks,
trolleys, cables, and other rigging that will be used to handle
equipment on the No. 2 Cat turnaround.
No. 2 Cat, scheduled to come down for a turnaround as
soon as No. 1 Cat goes back into service, has been busy get-
