The Baytown Employees Federation has
asked Humble management to permit those
employees represented by it to be covered by
a special Blue Cross-Blue Shield group hos-
pitalization and surgical benefits insurance
plan which Federation has worked out with
representatives of the Texas Blue Cross-Blue
Shield. Management is negotiating with the
ticipating in the hospitalization plan to con-
tinue to be covered by signing up for one of the
options under the amended Bankers Life plan
on a month to month basis commencing Jan-
uary 1, 1958. This arrangement will be
discontinued as to those employees represented
by Federation after the new Blue Cross-Blue
Shield plans become effective.

Manikin Is
Used In
First Aid
The attendance of an in-
jured “man” at the regular
monthly safely meeting of
Zone I M & C employees last
Monday had no effect on this
group’s excellent record of no
disabling injuries in the past two
years—a total of 696,971 man-
hours. The “man,” lying on a
stretcher with his head wrapped
in bandages, was only "Morii -
mer,” a clothing store manikin.

lieve injuries, is being used by
John Ellis, Safety, to demon-
strate a review of first aid which
