Purpose of Training Classes
Training classes are offered to

interest in their job and desire to
know more in detail about the
problems and operations of their
own and related departments. The
classes also are to help men keep
abreast of the progress in our in-
dustry.

To the Editor of the
Humble Bee,
Baytown Refinery.
Through your columns I desire,
as Chairman of the Refinery Divi-
sion of the Tri-City Welfare
League, to report on the results of
our drive.
On closing the books Saturday
night, we turned in pledges for
the amount of $11,191.05, and cash
to the amount of $2,705.25, a bal-
ance of $8,485.80 to be paid over
period of the year. This represents
donations from approximately 92
per cent of the employees of the
Refinery area, including the Pipe
Line Department. A part of the
small percentage not included, was
due to men being off on vacations,
or to some other cause. For the
benefit of these employees a book
will be kept in the Gauging Of-
fice to give them an opportunity
to help our more unfortunate citi-
