tion to a safety program getting

and Mrs. Helen Holbert, Specialties, have been named boss and
secretary of the year. The selection was made April 25 at a din-
ner given at the Kings Inn. The San Jacinto Chapter of the

was based on nominations sent to a panel of impartial Baytown
businessmen. The best secretary was chosen from nominations sent
to a committee composed of San Jacinto Chapter members.

the bare facts,” as he watched
a hapless worker struggling with
his hand in a bear trap.
The “bare facts” will be em-
phasized in the program which
begins next Monday and runs
for three weeks until all Humble
and Enjay employees at Baytown
have had an opportunity to par-
ticipate in the program.

ates worldwide averaged 4,354,-

to lest himself on just how de-

how aware he is of handtraps.
Statistics for last year and the
first four months of this year
reveal that handtraps are preva-
lent at Baytown. Forty per cent
of all disabling injuries which
occurred last year were to hands,
and all three of the injuries sus-
tained during 1967 have been
to hands.
The safely program beginning
Monday will include a film por-
traying handtraps. During the

First quarter earnings of the
Standard Oil Company (New Jer-
sey) and its affiliates worldwide
were estimated at S294 million,
equal to $1.36 a share based on
the average of 215,452,000
shares outstanding.
“These results,” said M. L.
Haider, chairman of the board,
“matched the all-time quarterly
high reported for the first three
months of 1966.”
Notwithstanding a sharply re-
duced demand for healing oils in
Europe, resulting from the mild-
est weather in recent history, Jer-
sey affiliates again achieved new
highs in operating levels world-
wide.
Petroleum product prices in
the United States have been hold-
ing above those of the same quar-
ter last year, but lower realiza-
tions were noted in certain areas
abroad, particularly in Germany
and the United Kingdom.
Earnings for the current period
were also adversely affected by
operating cost increases due in
part to continuing inflationary
pressures.
Rising to a record high over
any previous quarter were in-
come and operating taxes, to-
gether with import duties, con-
sumer taxes and other payments
to the United Stales and foreign
governments. These payments for
the first quarter totaled $ 1,170,-
000,000, for an increase of $106
