an— » M I S S o f tHe month Owen Reynolds has compiled an almost unbelievable record as a Union Oil transport driver. He’s piloted the big rigs through traffic-bound Southern California for the past 18 years—nearly 400,000 miles without any kind of accident, even a m arred fender. In recognition of his ability behind the wheel, the California Trucking Associ­ation named him its t|Driver of the Month” late last year. According to Terminal Superintendent Don Reed, Rey­nolds had strong competition for the honor from among Union Oil’s own drivers. Others have nine, 10,11 accident-free years, but, Reed says, “Reynolds has fust had no acci­dents at all!” IN THIS is s u e : Volume 7 Number 1 m JANUARY 1963 Desert Search f ............................................................ 2 Finger iTalk ..................................................................................................... 6 A Big Stick—The Minuteman.................................................................................. 8 Credit Card C ontest........................... .....................*............»...............................10 Where Rust Doth Corrupt....................................................................................... 12 New Director—Charles B.
