Keep Sick Record Low
Employees in the Process de-
partment are continuing to lead
employees in other departments
in their reduction in sickness
losses. During the four week
period ending October 26, only
50 benefit claims were filed.
Major Jobs
Are Nearing
Completion
At presstime Wednesday, Cat
No. 2 turnaround was slightly
ahead of schedule. “We’re like
show folks in that we’re super-
stitious about bragging, and I
wouldn’t want to say just how
many days ahead of schedule we
are at this time,” said Howard
Kay, planner.
Major jobs that employees
were working on this week in-
cluded replacing refractory walls
on the west side of the F-1 fur-
nace, retubing two flue gas waste
heat boilers, and replacing 20
cyclones.
The big unit came down for
. turnaround two weeks ago after
2 operating continuously for 555
3 days to set a new record for re-
] finery Cat units. This is the 22nd
i turnaround for the unit since it
went into operation in 1944.

With the Thanksgiving holiday
over. employees now have the
Christmas holiday to look for-
ward to. Among the many spe-
cial preparations made for this
coming holiday is the buying
and decorating of a Christmas
tree. With this in mind, the
Texas Safety Association this
week issued the following safety
precautions which every person
should lake in preparing the
tree:
1) Keep tree outside until it
is time to trim it.
2) Place tree well away
from all heating units; whether

“Now whoa right there—not enough room in here,” Harris Eastwood
tells his wife, Charlene, as she drives her little sports car up to the
door of their single garage, in which he has already placed his car.
Did she get her car in, also? For answer, see boxed story on Page 3.
Disabling Injury Suffered
By Rigger Last Monday
A disabling injury was suf-
fered last Monday by a rigger
who fell from the platform of
his mobile crane onto a concrete
walkway. He suffered a painful
multiple fracture of the left el-
bow. This brings our total of lost-
time on-the-job accidents to 16
so far this year—one less than
at this same lime last year.

Fancy Wrapped Presents
It is almost too late to “shop early” for Christmas, but the fortunate
few who have already completed this job will have the remaining
time to dream up fancy ways to wrap their presents. And for some,
this has become a creative art that provides almost as much fun as the
giving of Yuletide gifts. In some cases it involves more actual work
than the shopping. Take, for example, this interesting decoration de
a signed by Brenda Shelton, center, daughter of M. H. Shelton, Service
W Laboratories. It is a little skin diver, made of pipe cleaners and
complete with miniature flippers, face mask, and tiny air tank. The
present is for her brother, Lawrence, who is an enthusiast of the
sport of skin diving-as are Brenda and the two admirers of her
gift-wrapping handiwork, Ollie Clevenger (eft) Technical, and
Brenda’s sister, Jewel Eby of the Engineering library. All are mem-
bers of the “Barnacle Bumpers,” a local skin diving club, and eleven-
ger is treasurer of the group.
