it larger.
Column 3113—More than 90
per cent of those interviewed
read the column and find it in-
teresting. About the same per-
centage of employees find the
answers to 3113 questions either
"very satisfactory” or “somewhat
satisfactory.”
Need for the publication—The
question was asked, “Could the
money spent on Briefs be belter
spent on some other employee
activity, or do you think the pub-

the Briefs is a good investment;
4 per cent think the money could

weighing 61 pounds.
Jlist six years ago the Briefs
ran an article about Dunn when
he had caught 1,000 flounders.
At this rate it would seem Dunn
may run out of flounders to spear.
“There’s still plenty left,” he
grinned.

• One morning at the Central
Shop recently the disaster siren
was accidentally tripped and em-
ployees vacated the shop in a
hurry. They are quite familiar
with the siren because it is tested
every Friday at 4 p.m. It look
some convincing before the men
would return to the shop.
Boilermaker Ira Toups cuts through a heavy iron piece with
a new abrasive saw in M&C’s Central Shop. The saw is made
of carborundum reinforced with nylon. Its 3/16-inch thick blade
can cut through any carbon or alloy steel in a matter of seconds.
Previously M&C had to use a band saw or an arc air gouge,
both of which were slow, less precise methods. Dust from the
sawing process is drawn into a metal lank where most of the
dust settles out. Then the remaining dust is collected in two large
bags so that the air is clean before being discharged into the shop.

Born in Loxley, Ala., he was
reared in Dayton and joined
Humble after 10 years with the
Marine Corps.
As a Marine he traveled all
over the world. For 13 months
he served on the U. S. Embassy
guard in Afghanistan, and also
served in the same capacity in
Paris and Cypress.

stages of the campaign.
Employees at the hydroformers
were the first sizeable Refinery
wage group to cross the finish
line with 100 per cent participa-
tion. The 17 employees at Hydro-
former 1 contributed 114 per
cent of their goal, while the 13 at
Hydroformer 2 gave 117 per cent.
The 26 riggers at Enjay EMD
came through with 100 per cent
participation and 103 per cent of
their goal.
On August 5 at exactly 5:25
a.m., L. H. Dunn, Insulation,
struck his gig swiftly through
the water and speared a flounder.
This was no ordinary flounder,
however. Il was the 2.000th one
he had caught in nearly 18 years
of flounder fishing. He knows
exactly when the fish was caught,
because he has kept a careful
record on each flounder showing
the lime, place, location, size,
weight, tide conditions, and
whether the fish was moving or
bedded down.
Dunn’s log shows that his land-
mark 2.000th flounder weighed
21 pounds, was 17 inches long.

Arthur B. Hobbs, Light Ends
trainee, has received a Navy
Commendation medal with the
combat “V” for his service with
the Marine Corps in Vietnam.
As a staff sergeant with the
Marines, Hobbs was cited for
“consistently performing his
duties in an exemplary manner”
while in Vietnam from June 28
to Dec. 10, 1966.
Among other things, the cita-
tion points out that Hobbs took
command of his platoon when the
platoon commander was wounded
and evacuated. “Although he was

Truly a man fascinated with
his hobby, Dunn talks enthusiasti-
cally about flounder fishing. Over
the years he has learned when
conditions are right for fishing
in a certain area. Thus he seldom
comes home without a fish story,
and he can prove his.
Most of the time Dunn fishes
in Trinity, Galveston, and Mata-
gorda bays. He knows these bays
like Robinson Crusoe knew his
island.
Dunn says the fishing has been
bad lately because of the recent
high tides and muddy water
caused by hurricanes.
Usually all Dunn lakes with
him are his rubber waders, a
two-pronged gig, gasoline lan-
tern, and a stringer for the fish.
Sometimes he works off the shore,
or else uses his 17-foot boat as a
fishing base.
On a recent trip to Matagorda
Bay, Dunn and C. H. Gilbert,
Pipe, were fishing away from the
boat which was anchored about
60 feet offshore. They heard a
splash caused by something jump-
ing off the boat. When they re-
turned to the boat it was covered
with raccoon tracks.
Apparently the wiley raccoon
smelled the fish, swam to the
boat, climbed over the back, and
got into the fish box. “The rascal
helped himself to the largest
flounder,” Dunn said, and one
fish had to be subtracted from
his log.
• In an address to a group
of petroleum geologists, T. D.
Barrow, Humble senior vice pres-
ident and board member, said:
As our population grows and our
mineral resources dwindle, in
response to ever-increasing de-
mand, survival of our way of
life will become more and more
difficult.
“It is in bridging this tremen-
dous barrier of the years ahead
that we who are vitally concerned
with the exploration, develop-
ment, and conservation of the
earth’s mineral resources will
make our greatest contribution
to mankind,” he said.
