IN THIS ISSUE
The Front Cover
Since the month of June is tra-
ditionally known as the month of
weddings, we have featured on the
front cover a scene from the Tom
Thumb wedding which highlighted
the Wesleyan Service Guild’s
spring flower show in the com-
munity building.
The charming young bride is
Dolores, seven year old daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Roy M. Pickering.
The handsome groom is David
Lamar, seven year old son of Mr.
and Mrs. J. R. Geaslin. Mr. Pick-
ering is a member of the instru-
ment department, and Mr. Geaslin
is a cracking coil department em-
ployee. For more pictures and de-
tails, see pages 14 and 15.

“Safety is a responsibility of management, from the
President of the Company to the gangpusher or Stillman. We
must try to make the job safe; and that is a responsibility which
cannot be shifted; it rests squarely on the shoulders of all who
have charge of equipment and men.”
So spoke Executive Vice President Hines H. Baker
at the Safety Smoker held at Baytown on May 28.
As Mr. Baker pointed out, the responsibilities of
supervisors in an accident prevention program extend far beyond
the provision of a reasonably safe place in which to work. They
must discover, develop, and enforce safety rules; they must
prescribe and supply proper safety equipment and be familiar
with the correct use and maintenance of that equipment; they
must show that they know the safe methods of doing work under
their supervision by observing safe practices themselves; and
they must instruct new men and transfers in safe methods of
doing the job and in the observance of safety rules and practices.
A wise management will provide a Safety Department
whose personnel is comprised of men trained in their job, men
whose technical knowledge is balanced with administrative
ability. It is the Safety Department of our Company which
makes plans, advises and counsels with supervisors, and assists
those supervisors in carrying out safety programs.
But no safety program, however well conceived, can
be successful without the cooperation of everyone. Management,
assisted by the Safety Department, cannot bear the full burden.
Safety, above all things, is a cooperative undertaking, and the
extent to which every employee is willing to participate will
make or break any program.
The refining department’s safety record attests to a
keen awareness among employees of their individual respon-
sibilities in plant safety practices. That is as it should be,
because our lives and welfare depend on how well we continue
to discharge those responsibilities.
