Humble has amended its Leave
of Absence Policy to include
service with the Peace Corps
among the types of public serv-
ice for which employees may be
able to obtain special leaves of
absence from the company.
Appreciation to Humble for
its co-operation in extending this
opportunity to its employees was
voiced publicly by the Peace
Corps in Washington, which had
indicated to a number of oil and
mining companies their need for
twenty geologists to assist in a
Peace Corps project in Ghana.

Coach Barry Nettles of the Cedar Bayou Junior
High Bears couldn’t be anything but proud of his
basketball team this past season. They won the city
and district championships by romping through the
14-game conference schedule without a loss, and
had a 32-1 record for the entire season.

expects to retain the state title.
In winning the state 4-A
title last year, Coach Beverly
Rockhold and his assistant. Drew
Dunlap, only used six Ganders
to cop the championship, but all
of them ran the best races of
their careers. As a result, they
returned their school to the track
throne for the first time since
1955. And one of the six, Don
Parkhurst, son of Humble Pro-
duction employee E. G. Park-
hurst, set a new record in school-
boy speed by running the 100-
yard dash in 9.4 seconds to tie
the national record set 29 years
before, and shatter all existing
state and conference records.
Don, a co-captain of this year’s
team, racked up 20 of the Gan-
der points in last Saturday’s
meet, and was presented an “out-
standing athlete” award.
Today, the Gander track team
is getting its second trial of the
season in Laredo where the Bor-
der Olympics are under way.

Net Profit
Members of the Fuels & Chemicals basketball team, shown in black
shirts, were making a “net profit” when this action was pictured last
Tuesday night in the second game of the Hot Water League double-
header. They showed a deficit on the scoreboard when the game ended,
however, and their opponents, the Main Office team, were still unde-
feated in league play with five straight wins. The leaders took this one
31-25. In the first game played Tuesday night, Specialties kept Produc-
tion in the cellar by a 38-24 win that amounted to the fifth straight
loss for Production.

The Gander track team got off
to a good start in defending its
stale 4-A title last Saturday by
winning the first meet of this sea-
son. Making their debut as de-
fending state cinder champs at
the 28th running of the Royal
Purple Relays in Beaumont, the
Ganders racked up a total of
103.4 points which put them
10.4 points ahead of their near-
est rival, Memorial of Spring
Branch, and gave them the meet
championship for the second
consecutive year.
While competition strength of
the 16-team entry in the meet
was somewhat less than impres-
sive, the Ganders piled up points
in 11 individual events, includ-
ing one first and a tie for first,
and built the pile to ils winning
peak with firsts in the 440-yard
and 880-yard relays. In the mile
relay, however, they barely
scored by coming in sixth. In
this event, one in which they
have been top contenders for
years, they showed that there is
New Techniques Are
Aiding Conservation
Years ago a deer poacher
could breathe easy when he had
the venison lucked away in the
mince meal pie. Not so today!
Dr. C. F. Jackson of the Univer-
sity of New Hampshire has de-
veloped the use of paper chrom-
atography in identifying meat.
Small bits of meat or blood stains
are sufficient for the relatively
simple tests.
Based on variations of the
amino acid composition for each
species, the test can even detect
the difference between white-
tailed deer and mule deer tissue.
Even cooked hamburger of mixed
meals can be identified.
The Idaho Department of Fish
and Game and the New Hamp-
shire Department cooperated in
the development of this new law
enforcement device. Such tools
are a far cry from the day when
a warden’s summons book was
the main piece of equipment.
Modern technology has come a
long way in improving the ef-
ficiency of conservation depart-
ments throughout the country.
