Any guy you, might see packing a toy water pistol in a 17 million dollar refinery at Billings isn't a misplaced television cowboy. He's checking on steam pipes and the toy's a tool. The refinery is laced with miles of pipe, including high pressure steam pipes with temperatures up to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

That'i hot enough to cook a roast. It often is necessary to know if a steam Una or trap contains live steam. At first refinerymen touched these lines and got burnt. Some spit on the pipes. But now one squirt from a water pistol and the water jet explodes into steam and givei the answer.

More than 3,660,000 Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Explorers and leaders are now "Building for a Better Tomorrow" with the help of the program of the Boy Scouts of America. DEPEND ON THEM TO DO THEIR BEST FOR GOD AND COUNTRY BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA.
