Baum Wins Slogan Contest With "Hopi CON Pronto"


When the Special
Awards Committee
finished sifting
more than 150
entries in the slo-
gan contest, the
prize of Fls. 25
went to Robert
Baum of the Gas
Plant for his "Hopi
CON Pronto".
The judges agreed
that those three
words expressed in
a nutshell what
several thousand
Lago employees are
striving to do: give
the United Nations
all the aviation gas-
oline they need -
and in a hurry.
"Hopi" is the
Papiamento word for "much", or "a
whole lot of". CON, standing for
"hundred octane number" (or aviation
gasoline) is the established symbol for
the entire construction project. "Pron-
to", in practically any language, means
"mighty quick". Simply stated, the
slogan means "much aviation gas soon".
Four other slogans were given honor-
able mention by the judges:
"CON"-tribute to Victory, by Rupert
Jailal of the Electrical dept.
Let's Get Along With CON, by Frank
Burson of T.S.D.
The Fighting Men Need CON, by
Gertrude Ward.
We're in it CON'I1 win it, by
Edward Rankin of T.S.D.


Despues di a consider mas di 150 le-
ma cu a worde recibi, e Comit6 pa Pre-
mionan Especial a decidi di duna e pre-
mio di Fls. 25.00 na Robert Baum, em-
pleado di Gas Plant, pa su "Hopi CON
Pronto".

Margriet Francisca, the Netherlands
Princess born January 19, was named
for both a flower and a governor-general.
"Margriet" is the name of a certain type
of daisy which is the favorite flower
of Queen Wilhelmina, while "Francisca"
is from "Franciscus", one of the names
of the Earl of Athlone, Governor-Gen-
eral of Canada.


It takes about 62,000 gallons of gas-
oline to train just one Air Force pilot
- which is another good reason for
"Hopi CON Pronto".


It looks like a full-dress battle, but
the blows weren't landing very hard
and the training-headgear made a
knockout unlikely, to say the least. The

Need for Specific Ideas Urged
By Special Awards Committee

The Special Awards Committee came
out of a meeting for considering ideas
recently with the statement that many
of the suggestions being submitted were
not specific enough. "Cut red tape",
they said, is an admirable idea, but it
is essential to point out where and how
red tape can be cut so the construction
r program will be shortened. Similarly,
"devise method of working in blackout"
is a good idea, as far as it goes, but
how?
One hint the committee has given to
those "on the make" for awards is to
look for the little things, because the
very big ones (for instance, trying to
secure materials at the Eagle refinery
or in Panama) have probably already
been done.
nt, Of a man who pays too much atten-
e- tion to fine detail and misses the larger
1w
es situation, it is said that "he can't see
0. the forest for the trees". CON idea-
in suggestors are urged to turn this say-
he ing around: to look for the "trees", the
small improveable details, and the forest
will take care of itself.
The committee recently listed some of

The Margin We Give 'Em

R. W. Gallagher, president of the
Standard Oil Company, (N.J.), recently
Sput into words the big reason for Allied
air superiority, and the big urge behind
the CON project: .

S"Because of the added power of 100
Octane gasoline", he said, "our bombers
and fighting planes can match the speed
of the enemy and have the advantage of
protective armor. A bomber fueled
with 100 octane gasoline can carry
some 5,000 more pounds of bomb load .
than if fueled with 87 octane, yesterday's
superfuel. When a long-range offensive *.
can be mounted against Berlin or Tokio,
1,000 planes will be able to carry
Nearly 5,000,000 more pounds of
bombs per trip because of 100 octane
than if 87 octane were used. Planes
can operate from smaller fields. A
fighter can rise more quickly, and a
bomber can lift after a shorter run".

The Axis has plenty of 87 octane and a limited amount of
91 octane. Though they are reported to be trying to get into
Production on 100, they now have little if any of this super-
fuel. A look at the relative power of these three grades tells
the story of air superiority 91 octane delivers 15 percent
more power than does 87, and 100 octane delivers 36 per cent
more than 91. That is the margin that spells victory in the
air.

is a tiny copy, on a scale of one-quarter inch to the foot, of a new
refining unit that will soon be built here Enabling M. & C, process,
and technical men to see the plant in three dimensions, the value
of the model lies in the fact that they can shift the pieces at will
until the best layout in a limited space is devised. 1he new unit
will be the first to be completely designed and fabricated locally.
and will be constructed partly of salvage material and partly of
equipment not in use at present on other units.

Aruba Juniors Take TSD
With Two Wins in Three

Playing like veterans, the Aruba
Juniors softball team took the T.S.D.
Process ten, champions of the Burro
League, into camp with two out of
three wins in a series that ran from
January 24 to February 7.
In two games at Oranjestad and one
at the Colony's Lone Palm Stadium, the
Juniors, this year's Aruba Softball
League champions, played a fast and
tight brand of ball to take the series
from the more experienced team.
It took ten innings to decide the first
game, January 24, after the teams pass-
ed the seventh frame deadlocked at 3 all.
T.S.D. scored twice in the second on a
walk, a single, and an error, and once
in the third on errors to take the initial
lead. The Aruba Juniors bunched two
2 singles, a double, and a free pass to tie
Sthe score in the fifth. A triple play in
the seventh, Zambrano to Hernandez to
Franken, saved the day momentarily for

runs on six hits and a walk. This look-

errors. The eighth was scoreless, but in

Those who received cash for workable
suggestions having to do with general
Plant practice were: Juan Oduber, Fls.

Robert Martin, Fls. 10, Install sign
boards with names of various High

John Keller, Fls. 15, Install covers for

at Pitch Stills.


Residents of the CuraCao territory
were reminded recently in the public
press that it is illegal to sell or in any
way change ownership of bicycle, motor-
cycle, or automobile tires without a
permit.
This includes not only unmounted
