New Refinery Safety
Com. Appointed Thurs.

One of the great features of the
Parco Refinery is that of safety. 1t
has always been one of the foremost
thoughts throughout the construction
period to build a plant that would
furnish the company and worker
every protection from loss of prop
erty or life and up to the present
time there have been very few losses
in either direction. 1t is due to the
most modern equipment operated by
men who understand the features in
volved and the absolute necessity of
taking every %precaution that an en-
viable record has been maintained.
Working in connection with this,
a safety committee has been appoint
ed and will operate under the direc-
ton of p. j. Gibbs, the new director
of safety. To assist him there have
been eleven others appointed, all of
whom are thoroughly versed in this
line of work. This committee is com
posed of p. j. Gibbs, director of
safety: Dan Spremo, fire chief; l.. NJ.
Johnston mechanical superintendent,
B. w. Morgan, process superintend-
emit; l.. NJ. Porter, maintenance fore
man; j. A. Hudson, electrical super
intendent; c. F. Briggs, superintend-
ent of the Lube plant; Geo. Carpen-
ter, foreman treating plant; Emil
Kruger, labor foreman; DR.. O.. A.
Sander; Joe Mercil, foreman of fires
stills; and Tom Curly, general plant
foreman. All the members of his
committee have had considerable eX-
p%erience along these lines and their
ability to maintain the safest plant
in the country is unquestioned. 1t is
their plans and hope that the ensu-
ing ear will be one in which the
safety is 100 percent. Every en-
ployee is urged to cooperate to the
fullest extent with this committee
that nothing shall happen which
could have been prevented with a
little care and foresight.
One of the best fire fighting sys-
TENS in existence today with which
to combat oil fires is that of foam
lite. The Parco refinery is equipped
with such a system and it is II of
the latest and most efficient of its
kind. Everything throughout the
whole plant is either directly equip
ped with this system or hydrants are
within easy each. All storage tanks
are equipped directly and hydrants
are located near each building and
battery of stills hal they may be
thrown into use with a moments
notice. The whole system is control
ed from one pumphouse and storage
station in which is stored sufficient
foamite to supply the whole plant in
case of necessity. In addition to this
system small chemical carts and con
tainers are located about the plant
for the care of small fires. This
system is always being added to and
improved and a recent survey of it
1 made by Stanley G. Freck. represent.
alive of the Foamite-Childs corpora,
ton showed the complete system tc
be in perfect order.

entered the business world as mans
equal, bobbed hair has become more
predominant among the ladies until
today it is almost a custom and prac-
ticed by all, both old and young. A
great deal is due to the setting of
fashion by a few of eccentric nature
but now that the new has worn off
the fashion still remains and is go
ing stronger than ever. The twent-
ieth century has been one of rapid
advancement in every line and effic-
iency has played a great part and
so is not bobbed hair in keeping with
these rapid advances.
From a daring minority 'the GUS
tom has grown to- include the vast
majority and so it Is today that the
ladies' who still possess hat crown
ing beauty are seldom seen. 1t is
popular with the young as well as
with the old, with the married and
single; all alike they follow and prac-
tice that custom which has taken
this nation by storm.
For these reasons the beauty con-
test in Parco next week has been
limited to those possessing bobbed
hair. The rules governing this con-
test are to be as follows: Open to
every lady attending Tuesday night
who is a resident of Carbon county.
A committee will pick the 20 pest on
Tuesday night; on Thursday night
they will eliminate ten of these; and
on Saturday night the final choice
from the remaining ten will be made
by popular vote. First prize will be
a loving cup and $1,000 in gold and
the second prize will consist of $500
in gold and $500 worth of work at
Betty's Beauty Parlor.

BRIEFLY TOLD

In commenting on the recent raise
in the price of gasoline an editor of
a paper in a neighboring state began
by stating hat John ID. Rockefeller
Jr. had recently made a large do
nation to a church in New York. He
then began to n the raise of
the price of gasoline with This gift.
OF course every one who knows any
thing at all of the oil industry
knows that John ID. Jr. hasn't the
power to make. even If he wanted
to, the price of gasoline or any other
oil much less the power to collect
his church subscriptions from the
general public by such an arrange
ment. Such statements are gross
ly untrue and no II with a grain
of sense believes he has done so and
no one with a grain of common hon
esty or decency would publicly make
such "A statement.
While statements such as have

LOSES
TO GLENROCK
SATURDAY EVE

The Parco Oil Cans were defeated
by the Sendacs in the Parco gym last
Saturday evening in a hard fought
basketball game by a score of 80 to
%. From the start of the game the
outcome was held in balance by the
seesawing of the score and it was a
problem of conjecture as to who
would win until the last whistle had
blown. Neither team seemed to- be
able to hold the lead for any length
of time and it was not until the last
few minutes that a final squirt of
speed by the Glenrock team ended
the game giving them a lead of three
points.
The Sendacs showed every evil
dence of having a finished team.
They played well together and gave
a good account of themselves
throughout the entire game. Nor
gar and Thornton scored heavily for
the visitors piling up % points. Nor

with l5 to his credit. Ireland of
Parco was close IN his heels with
IL. There were no particular out
standing stars on either side but the

Parco Oil Cans showed the marks of
a well balanced team and one that
will round into a machine of very
smooth running qualities within a
very short space Of time.
At the end of the first half the
score stood 10 to II in favor of
Parco. Throughout the entire game
there was not a greater difference
in the score thar three points with
Parco leading the majority of the
time. Shortly after the first half
