Vol. 8, No. 36, Community Bldg. No. 1
A Labor Department study re-
leased Labor Day shows the buy-
ing power of the average factory
worker’s earnings has increased
40 per cent since World War II.
Straight-time hourly wages
have shown a sharp rise since
1947, the study indicates, ac-
counting for the faller pay en-
velopes of plant production
workers.
Average weekly earnings in
1959 ranged from 3117.38 (over
32.93 an hour) in the petroleum
industry to 355.63 (about 31-39
an hour) in the apparel industry.
Baytown Refinery hourly work-
ers earn an average of 3126 a
week (33.15 an hour) in com-
parison with the above figures.

long, windowless, one-slory struc-
tures with transite siding on back
and front, and brick on the sides.
They are designed to provide
efficient and adequate quarters
at a moderate construction cost.
The Distillation and Finishing
building will contain 11,000
square feet of floor space, will
be 64-feet wide by 172-feet long,
and will provide office space for
approximately 70 people.
The Cracking and Light Ends
building will contain approxi-
mately 12,000 square feet of
floor space, will be 64-feet wide
by 184-feel long, and will house
approximately 75 people.
Personnel in the above
named groups are scheduled to
occupy the buildings early in
February of next year.
The new buildings will serve
two purposes at the Refinery: 1)
they will bring together people
who are working for a common
goal—more efficient operations,
and 2) they will also release
Main Office space for functions
formerly handled in Houston.
Pioneers Meet Tonight
The Pioneer Club parly will
begin at 7 o’clock tonight in
Community Building No. 1. All
members are urged to attend.
Guests will be welcome.
Be Sure To Post Changes
In Telephone Directory
Employees who maintain tele-
phone books are reminded to
post the additions and correc-
tions as soon as possible after
they receive them.
The new names and numbers
should be written in the book
in alphabetical order and all
corrections should be made im-
mediately to bring the book up
to date.
The Labor Department study
did not include other gains such
as pensions, jobless benefits, and
medical insurance plans which
workers have achieved.
There has been no sizeable re-
duction in the standard 40-hour
week in recent years, the study
showed, but workers benefited
from more paid vacations, paid
holidays and paid sick leave.
Pool Open On Weekends
The swimming pool at the
Humble Country Club, which has
been closed on weekdays since
September 5, will be open on
weekends only for the remainder
of this month and as long there-
after as weather permits.
Co-Sponsor
13 NCAA
Telecasts
If you are a fan of NCAA and
Southwest Conference football,
you are in for one of the most
exciting seasons ever to be aired
over the radio or shown over
television. And you will be able
to live every exciting moment of
each game as veteran Humble
announcers bring vivid play-by-
play descriptions.
This is the 27th year that
Humble has sponsored football
broadcasts over the radio. It
sponsored the first live telecast
of a football game in Texas in
1948 between TCU and Texas.
In 1949, it sponsored what may
have been the world’s first net-
work telecast of a football game
—SMU vs. Notre Dame.
For this coming season,
Humble will co-sponsor 13
NCAA telecasts, the first begin-
ning on Saturday, September 17
when Alabama meets Georgia
starting at 1:45 p.m. The first
Southwest Conference game to
be telecast this season is the
Arkansas—Texas battle on Oc-
tober 15 (see schedule on Sports
Page).
During every football season
when Humble broadcasts and
telecasts football games, retail
sales have shown a definite in-
crease. And Humble Refinery
employees have a direct interest
in this public-service-sales-effort
because the more gasoline and
other petroleum products that
our sendee station people sell,
the more we can produce.
Surveys show that at least half
of all motorists in Texas hear
one or more of the Humble com-
mercials that are aired every
weekend, and there will be little
doubt that when the public
thinks of football, Humble will
come easily to mind.
Not so obvious perhaps is the
full-scale merchandising that
supports the sponsorship with a
strong selling effort in all forms
of advertising. In fact, to inform
the public about its football
broadcasts and telecasts this sea-
son, the Company will send about
18,000 pieces of publicity to
newspapers, radio, and TV
stations. This is in addition to
outdoor posterboard ads and dis-
plays on service slation drive-
ways and other sales efforts all
designed to make motorists want
to stop at Humble stations for
Humble products.

Distillation
Safety Party
Last Night
Employees of Distillation and
members of their famiiles had a
party last night al which the de-
partment’s personnel was hon-
ored for working more than two
years without a disabling injury.
The last injury in the depart-
ment occurred July 4, 1958.
Since that lime, Distillation men
have worked approximately 432,-
000 safe man hours. The depart-
ment has about 100 employees.
The formal part of the cere-
monies, held at Community
Building No. 1, included brief
congratulatory remarks by Joe
Barsalou, assistant Plants man-
ager; E. H. Oliver, Distillation
and Finishing division superin-
tendent; and J. H. Cone, Dis-
tillation foreman.
The movie “Rescue Breath-
ing” was then shown to the
adults, while the youngsters
watched cartoons upstairs. After
refreshments in the auditorium,
family groups then toured the
various Distillation units. Souve-
nirs were provided for all attend-
ing the celebration.
