when they filled 37 lank trucks
in one shift. The old record was
31.
The record-shattering shift
above help set the new 24-hour
loading mark of 77. Although
operators are not sure of the old
record, they are in agreement
that, “This is the first time we’ve
ever cracked 70 in a 24-hour
period.”
Most of the plant’s eight
grades of asphalt sold goes out by
truck, although some is delivered
by pipe line and lank cars.
The Propane Plant, which sup-
plies most of the asphalt delivered
to customers, was down for turn-
around during two weeks of the
record-setting period. The De-
asphalting unit pinched-hit dur-
ing that two weeks, however, to
keep asphalt customers supplied.

Damage Slight
In Flash Fire
At Boiler House
The Refinery fire whistle was
sounded shortly after 10:30 p.m.
Monday night when a flash fire
occurred at No. 8 Boiler House
located in the Butadiene Plant.
There were no injuries, and dam-
age was limited to electrical wir-
ing and connections leading to
control instruments. Also, some
structural steel supports were
damaged and will be replaced.
The fire was quickly brought
under control, and No. 8 Boiler
House remained in operation, al-
though some of the equipment
had to go on manual control until
damaged connections can be re-
paired.

Some 20 university pro-
fessors who worked on spe-
cific projects during the
summer for Humble Oil &
Refining Company made
their final reports to the
company recently and have
returned to their respective
campuses.
A The professors’ visit was a con-
7 linuation of a policy begun in
1950 by Humble as part of its aid-
to-education program. The com-
pany believes that the importance
of education to the nation and to
the business community warrants
support by corporations in keep-
any Humble Club director.
All theatre seats are reserved,
and employees and their families
who present the coupons at the
theatre box office may see the
movie at the special price of
Si.25 for any reserved seat.
