Major changes in MBA serv-
ices were discussed last Wednes-
day night with members at a
general membership meeting in
the Community Building.
The changes were worked out
through mutual efforts of the
MBA directors, the membership
committees, its former medical
staff. Harris County and East
Harris County Branch Medical
Society, and General Counsel of
the Texas Medical Association.
The MBA board met with the
membership committee Wednes-
day evening of last week, and
the committee approved the
board’s recommendations.
The MBA board then pre-
sented these recommendations to
approximately 375 members at
the membership meeting last
In an announcement by
Russell H. Venn, manager of
the Refining Department,
dated April 24, the follow-
ing changes at Baylown became
effective May 1:
James Harrop, who has been
General Superintendent of the
Baytown plants, became Assist-
ant Manager reporting to Gor-
don Famed as Manager. Mr.
Harrop will be responsible for
the Coordination and Blending,
Technical, Employee Relations,
Medical, Accounting and Plant
Protection Divisions. H. H.
Meier, formerly Manager of the
Technical & Research Division,
is now Assistant Manager re-
Two chemical engineers,
R. S. (Dick) Manne and
W. G. (Bill) Domask, were
honored last Wednesday
night when they were presented
awards for their progress in
civic and professional achieve-
ment fields in 1957.
The awards are made annually
by the Society of Professional
Chemists and Engineers, an or-
ganization composed of about
200 chemists and engineers at
Baytown Refinery. Only mem-
bers of SPCE are eligible for
awards.
Manne was presented the
civic achievement award. Judg-
ing for this award is based upon
a member’s participation and of-
fices held in civic associations,
church activities, charity fund
drives, cub scouts, boy scouts,
girl scouts, and positions held in
connection with local, county, or
state governments or political
organizations.
Manne, a graduate from Van-
derbilt in 1948, is a member of
both AIChE and ACS. He has
served as vice president of the
Baytown Jaycees, board member
of the Baytown Opportunity
School, president of the Lake-
wood Civic Association, and
treasurer of the YMCA Building
Fund Drive. He is now precinct

Saturday almost the same way
he came here in the early oil
field days. He was driving a
wagon. However, there were sev-
eral differences between his ar-
rival then and his departure last
weekend. For one thing, he was
driving a team of oxen and haul-
ing heavy oil field equipment
when he first came here. When
he left Baytown Saturday, he
was driving a team of mules and
his “cargo” was members of his
family and friends who went
with him to McCollum Park on
Trinity Bay where they helped
him celebrate his 78th birthday
with a big barbecue. His young-
est daughter, Miss Doris Stone,
shared the celebration with her
father. They both have the same
birthdays.
The mule-drawn covered
wagon that Slone drove Satur-
a day will figure in another cele-
9 bration later this month. He will
be driving it in a Trail Ride that
opens the Chambers County
Centennial at Anahuac on May
13. The 21-mile ride will start
at the A. B. Lawrence Ranch be-
tween Baylown and McCollum
Park on May 11, and will in-
clude two nights of camping out
before starling Centennial festiv-
ities with a big parade on the
morning of May 13. The reason
for the trip being made by
wagon last Saturday was so
Stone could leave it and his team
at Lawrence’s ranch where they
will be ready when the trail ride
starts.
Slone was first employed in
the Refinery as a carpenter. He
later became a rigger, and in
1933 he transferred to the Bulk
Sales Station in Houston where
he worked until his retirement
in 1938.
Wednesday night. Each mem-
ber was given opportunity to ex-
press his views, submit his sug-
gestions, and join in the discus-
sions. All suggestions and rec-
ommendations made at the meet-
ing will be taken under advise-
ment by the board.
Two door prizes were also
awarded during the meeting.
Arthur J. Strom, Sr., Welding,
won a $50 savings bond, and
Tony J. Garrett, Machinist, won
a hi-fi record player.
After full consideration by
everyone present, the following
changes in MBA services are to
be made with the understanding
that the directors will continue
to seek ways and means by which
MBA services can be improved
within the law:

Annuitant C. S. Stone lakes to the trail again, but the wagon he is driving here is an improved ver-
sion of the model he originally drove to Goose Creek back in early oil field days. This one has rubber
tires. Also, the load he was hauling when he first came here was heavy equipment from the Batson
Oil Field. Making up his load here are, from left, Mrs. Opal Crosby, Accounting; Mrs. Bessie Pfistner,
Accounting; Slone’s daughter, Mrs. Pansy Mattingly, Service Accounting; Charley Mattingly, who
helped his great-grandad handle the mules; and R. B. Herring, Foamite. Following the wagon on horse-
back is Waller Pfistner, Treating.
