Kindergarten Visitors
Probably the youngest school group ever to visit the Refinery toured
the Plant last Friday morning. They were students at a Baytown
kindergarten. Pictured above are three of the group feeling of catalyst
being held by D. J. McF addin, tour guide. The youngsters are
Stephen Ray Timmons, Melinda Shirley, and Barbara Sue Dunham.
Bus tours of the Refinery have proved popular with all ages of
school groups from throughout the state. They can be arranged for
any week day by calling Extension 3317.

New ADU Record
An article in BRIEFS on July 29 described changes being made to
expand orthoxylene production in the Refinery. Results of this expan-
sion arc already being noticed at the Aromatics Distillation unit at
the Butadiene plant. On September 23, operating personnel at the
ADU exceeded previous records by producing 688 barrels of product.
Examining the new record arc J. B. Sterling, left, chief operator in
charge of the ADU; Mrs. Marilyn Head, member of the Butyl-Buta-
diene Technical group who has a degree in chemical engineering; and
R. L. Kuntz, ADU operator, who is pointing to production chart
which has recorded the increase. Since this picture was made, how-
ever, the ADU operating staff set a new record of 735 barrels per day
on October 2. Involved in the new records were employees at the
NFU where the feed stream is prefractionated for further processing
at the ADU. Orthoxylene, which is used in the manufacture of plas-
tics and surface coatings, is in great demand and the operating staffs
at both units arc making every effort to keep units rolling at maxi-
mum production.

Baytown Briefs, now in its
eighth year of publication, was
awarded first place for its news
and pictorial coverage for an in-
dustrial newspaper having more
than 3,000 circulation.
The award was made by the
Southwest Conference of Indus-
trial Editors at their 1960 con-
ference in Dallas last week.
Briefs, in competition with
industrial publications in nine
southwestern states, was judged
by a group of highly experienced
men in the industrial publica-
tions field. More than 300 indus-
trial magazines and newspapers
were entered in various catego-
ries with judging based on
editorial achievement, appropri-
ateness of style, subject matter,
quality of layout, illustrations,
typography, printing, and so
forth.
Briefs has received other simi-
lar awards in the eight years
that il has been in existence.
These awards are not a tribute
to the Briefs staff alone. As
Briefs has no regular staff of
reporters in each department, it
depends largely upon tips on
stories from employees in the
various units and offices in the
Refinery. This latest award, along
with others, is evidence that em-
ployees know a good story when
they see one and they report it.
thus making this publication one
of the most interesting and in-
formative in its field.
Handbook available on request to
public high schools.
Teen-agers aren’t the only
people who will find the hand-
book helpful. Every driver would
do well to review it and become
familiar with recent driving
rules, such as information on
freeway driving (five pages of
it), the equipment which you
may have and must not have on
your car, who is classed as a
“habitual violator.” and a change
under general information per-
taining to the premium on your
insurance—all of this plus much
more information can be yours
simply by telephoning the
Refinery Public Relations Office
on Extension 3317.
