cash scholarship at the college of
his choice. He is the son of H.

For submitting an idea
which saved 2,000 hours of
Refinery telephoning a year,
W. II. Powers, tester special
in the P. T. Laboratory, was re-
warded handsomely under the
Coin-Your-Ideas plan.
Powers was presented a $250
supplemental award for the first
quarter of this year, after having
received a $200 initial award
last year for his suggestion.
As a result of his idea, a car-
bon copy of laboratory lest data
is now sent to Refinery unit con-
cerned by sample truck instead
of being relayed by telephone. As
Powers explained in submitting
the idea, “The sample trucks are
going anyway, the carbon copy
is being made also, so why not
just deliver the data to the unit’s
mail box, saving the lime re-
quired to make the telephone
calls?”
The suggestion also helps elim-
inate the possibility of error in
relaying the test data.
Two other suggestions by Re-
finery men proved worthy of ad-
ditional merit after being in use
Four Injured While
Working On Reboiler
Four Refinery men were in-
jured in an accident which oc-
curred last Saturday morning as
they were replacing a channel
head on the reboiler on Column
10 at the Light Ends Fractionat-
ing Unit. Condensate blew out
on the men from the steam line
to the reboiler as they were per-
forming their work.
L. R. Hensley, pipefitter
helper, and the most seriously
injured of the four, is in San
Jacinto Memorial Hospital re-
cuperating from first and second
degree burns on his back.
Minor burns and injuries, none
of which required lost time from
work, were sustained by P. M.
Lounsberry, Rigging; A. H.
Merka, and R. B. Barrett, both
of Pipe.
DESK, DERRICK CLUB VISITS
Pictured above are six of the sixteen members of the Dallas Desk
and Derrick club who came to Baytown last Saturday for a special
tour of the Refinery. They are shown in the Community Building
tour room with Norman S. D’Olive, whom everyone knows is not
a member of the Desk and Derrick group, but is Baytown’s Country
Editor. Following their tour, they were served lunch al the Humble
4 Day picnic at the Recreation Club.
