Sohio News April 1947 Page 2

The Hat, Nameless, and Kilroy

MASKED MEMBERS OF A SOHIO RECREATION CLUB illustrate the humorous possibilities of a paper bag masquerade. If you're wanting to know who's who in the bags turn to the top of columns 4 and 5 on page 8. If you're looking for party ideas, try page 8. Then the next time your unit is full of party spirit, plan to make it "a party to remember" like The Technical Recreation Club affair which is described in detail. If you don't like horse-racing try calling it the "Turn Over a New Leaf Party", "The City Slicker Party", or "The Shipwreck Party".

The Sohio Recreation Plan

The Sohio Recreation Plan offers evidence that opportunity does not always leave after the first knock.

Our plan which was made public to all employees in May of 1945 remains as an open opportunity of company financial assistance to those employees who desire to organize their own program of sports, social gatherings, and recreational activities. When President W. T. Holliday first announced it in a letter to all department heads he said, "The Board of Directors has approved a Plan, to be known as 'The Sohio Recreation Plan", to encourage employees to form recreational, social and athletic associations . . . The Plan sets a pattern whereby employees themselves assume the full responsibility for organization and management of recreational associations, formed for the benefit of everyone in a unit . . . To assure company financial support, these associations need only comply with a few conditions ..."

The Home Office's Manufacturing Chemical Research Laboratory was the first to seize the opportunity. By the end of 1945 seven other units had formed recreation clubs of their own. Today, almost two years later, recent reports show that many more have discovered the road to mental and physical relaxation. Their activities are as varied as the personalities who make up their memberships. Golf for golfers, swimming for swimmers, bowling for bowlers, and parties for all.

In a company as large as ours and with units scattered throughout the country, most plans must grow slowly—but here is a streamlined recreation plan adapted and formulated to fit your individual unit needs.

The opportunity is still yours.

Six More Retire To Join Standard Oil's Annuitant Family

William F. Radsick, pumper at the Toledo Refinery pumphouse, became an annuitant April 1 after 26 years of service with Sohio. He started at the refinery on July 26, 1920, as a pipefitter helper and entered the pump-house on March 1. 1941.

Born in Elmore, Ohio, Bill now lives in Bono. The first item on his retirement agenda is a trip to California to visit his grandson; following that he plans to hunt and fish.

David L. Jones

A farewell dinner in Ashland marked the retirement of David L. Jones, Mansfield Division, who is also a 26-year man. Beginning his Sohio career in a service station at Norwalk, he was later a combination service station salesman and agent there. At the time of his retirement he was employed in the Construction Department.

Happy at the prospect of doing as he pleases, "Davey" announced that he is going to be busy growing flowers and vegetables at his home in Sandusky.

Theodore A. Dorman

A painter at No. Two Refinery, Theodore A. Dorman is another new member of The Standard Oil annuitant family. "Friday", as Mr. Dorman is known to many persons, came with the company on August 20, 1929, as a laborer in the Yard Department. His friends attribute him with a cheerful manner and an enjoyable sense of humor.

Eunice Moore

On April first, Eunice Moore of the Home Office was granted an early pension. Eunice has been a Sohioan for the past 18 years, joining the company on February 6, 1929. Her first job was handling stenographic and clerical duties in the Claim Department; later she was transferred to the Maintenance Department. (Continued on Page 6, Col. 3)

NOT WANTING TO ALIENATE OUR LADY READERS by an April issue without mention of spring cleaning we hunted around the town for the biggest and best. How would you like this job, Mrs. Sohioan? The men are not Sohio husbands hard at work, but specially qualified painting contractors. The sign itself towers above the 55th and Woodland station in Cleveland.
