I VRUBA) N W s VOL. 4, No. 3 PUBLISHED BY THE LAGO OIL & TRANSPORT CO., LTD. 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". E jueznan a combini cu e tres palabra- nan aki ta express brevemente lo que varies miles di empleado di Lago ta es- forza nan mes pa haci: duna Nacionnan Uni tur e gasoline cu nan tin mester - 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 Robert Baum of the Gas Plant is shown admiring the FIs. 25 bill he received for his prize-winning slogan in the Special Awards contest.

T 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 from P. 1 the work in which fruitful ideas should be found. They don't claim that these 939.

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. The next issue of the ARUBA ESSO NEWS will be distributed Friday, March 12. All copy must reach the editor in the Personnel building by Saturday noon, March 6. Telephone 3379 E Ventaja Cu Nos Ta Duna Nan R. W.

Made entirely of wood in their backyard workshop, it 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.

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.

Those who received cash for workable suggestions having to do with general Plant practice were: Juan Oduber, Fls. 10, Install walkway over pipelines south of bridge near No. 2 Evaporating Plant; Robert Martin, Fls. 10, Install sign boards with names of various High Pressure shops; Rudolf Polak, Fls. 10, Alterations in old Bakery building; Ho- race Willison, Fls. 10, Insulate steam line by time clock at No. 1 Laboratory; Edney Huckleman, Suggested sign re- garding Clinic hours; Frans Maduro, Fls. 10, Install fire extinguisher in welding shed at Colony Service shops; John Keller, Fls. 15, Install covers for the pitch, tar, and recycle sample dippers 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 tires, but also those which may be mounted on a car or other vehicle. For their own protection readers of the NEWS are reminded that the Govern- ment makes it mandatory to secure a special permit (in Aruba from the Lt. Governor) before selling a bicycle, mo- torcycle, or automobile. FIRST AWARD R. M. Yates of the Gas Plant received the first award to be granted under the Special Awards Plan February 13, Fls. 100 for a sug- gestion on the reconstruction of the Low Octane Stabilizer & Splitter. Details will be in the next issue of the NEWS. Note: The last issue of the NEWS stated that the Aruba Juniors won the championship of the Aruba Softball League last year. Caribe also claims it, however, and the question was not settl- ed to the satisfaction of all parties. SAFETY PAYS Seguridad Ta Lo Miho NONE! of regular -Compreased Air |
