MAIN NORTH GATE Extension Service Begins Program A new state-wide job training and safety program for municipal electrical service employees has been launched by the Engineering Extension Service of the A&M System. Special training in the construc tion and maintenance of electrical systems, with emphasis on safety, will be made available to employes of city-owned systems participat ing in the program, according to H. D; Bearden, vice director of the Engineering Extension Service. Approximately 30 cities in Tex as have joined the program, and more will follow as the program develops, Bearden said. George C. Sheets, who has an extensive background of electric line Work in addition to experience in conducting organized instruc tion for electric line crews, has been assigned to serve as itinex 1 - ant instructor for the program. Classes will begin some time in August. Individual area classes will be held in strategically located cit ies, selected to allow a maximum number of employes from sur rounding cities to attend with a minimum of travel. The special program has been in the planning stage for about a year. The foundation for the course was laid out by the Engi neering Extension Service with the guidance and assistance of an advisory committee made up of a number of city managers and man agers of municipal electrical serv ices from throughout the state, and through the cooperation of the Municipal Utilities League. Anyone wishing further infor mation concerning the program is invited to contact either Casey Fannin Jr., city manager of Bry an and chairman of the program’s advisory committee, or Bearden.

JIM NEIGHBORS Editor Joy Roper Society Editor Maurice Olian ... SportSr Correspondent Don Collins ... Staff Cartoonist Ed Thorpe Circulation Manager These Forty Ye u,\ Forty years ago, in June of 1917, the Humble Company received its charter from the State of Texas. The Company was formed through a merger of the properties of a number of independent oil operators. Its founding brought together a remark able group of men who occupy an important place in the annals of the oil industry: R. S. Sterling and his brother, F. P. Sterling, the principal organizers of Humble Oil Company from which the present company acquired its name; W. S. Parish and R. L. Blaffer composing Blaffer and Parish; H. C. Wiess with assets from Paraffine and Reliance Oil Companies; Walter W. Fondren and C. B. Goddard, producers; and L. A. Carlton and E. E. Townes as lawyers. All of these men contributed greatly in adopting the principles, in shaping the policies, and in laying out procedures that have guided the Company’s progress through these forty years. Their influence will survive as long as the Company continues. They possessed courage and business judgment. They established high standards of performance. They built a strong organization of competent men and women. The Company, as it stands today, is a tribute to the leadership, the vision, and the work of its founders. But it is doubtful that these men, with all their foresight, visualized the changes that have occurred in the oil industry since 1917, or the size and com plexity of Humble’s present operations, or the extent of the Company’s contributions through the years to the progress of our society. To all who have made those contributions possible—employees, customers, shareholders and the people of the states in which the Company operates—Humble extends its thanks.
