"Lago Thrift Foundation" Esso Building Planned
Ta Dislribui FIs. 200,000 For Rockefeller Center
Na Participantenan w o, ,


Heights"Club Scene of
Popular Amateur Hour

Laughter and applause floated out
of the Lago Club together with the
strains of Speen Linscheer's Orchestra
on October 3, as the Lago Heights
Advisory Commitee sponsored an ama-
teur night.
The audience greatly enjoyed the
affair and of the 25 contestants five
were favored with prizes by the judges.
First prize went to Ivan Mendes for
his rendition of "One Alone". Second
prize was awarded to Paulina Maduro
for her captivating portrayal of the
"Hula-Hula Dance". The third prize
was taken by Guillaume Kamper-
veen for the imitation he did of Adolf
Hitler. "How Blue The Night" was sung
by Kelvin Wong and he won fourth
prize. Fifth prize went to Miss M. Me
Donald for her singing of "Paper Doll".
A special prize was awarded to Par-
lina Maduro for the best performance
of the evening. The best performer was
chosen by popular vote by the crowd
from among the five winners.
The Master of Ceremonies for the
evening was Fernando Da Silva, and
Judges were Olga Singh, Isaac Chin and
Arturo Frans. Victor Lee handled the
gong.



Absences for Crop Cultivation
Are Authorized Without Penalty

This year, as in the past, the A.W.O.L.
policy will be waived for four days in the
case of those employees designated by
the Government as having land on which
crops may be grown. Men in this group
are allowed four days off without pay
before January 1, 1946.
Two of the allowable days are usually
taken immediately after the first heavy
rain, and need not be reported to fore-
men in advance. The other two days are
taken from four to eight weeks later in
order to cultivate the crops, and these
days require permission obtained in ad-
vance.
Where necessary, foremen have been
provided with lists indicating which em-
ployees are eligible for these authorized
farming absences.



Fleven More Employees Receive
Diplomas in Basic Accounting

The Basic Accounting course which 59
Accounting Office employees are taking
was completed this month by 11 more
employees, who received their diplomas
October 11. Including the first group of
18 who graduated July 30, a total of
29 have now completed the work.
The new graduates include Rudolph
Chan-Yit, Domingo Oduber, Angel Co-
lina, Charles Soodeen, Henry Fung,
John Marchock, Calvin Lam, Andries
Geerman, Marcelo Kock, Cecil Joachim,
and Dennis Lau.

Men, like chickens, cross a road to get on the other
side. But men, unlike chickens, are thinking as they
cross, which explains why so many chickens don't get
there, while men usually do.
USUALLY, that is. Because often your pedestrian
thinks of the traffic passing before him not as a source
of danger to himself, but as an obstacle, something in
the way. The driver too, is often guilty of a lack of
thought, viewing the pedestrian as just another object
in the road like a rock or rut and not as a person.
A good driver remembers that the pedestrian is
more or less defenseless and has a right to use the road.
The good driver recalls too, that other drivers are con-
fronted by the same problems, and acts accordingly.
On the other hand, an intelligent pedestrian realizes that
drivers are under heavy responsibility, for they control
the movement of great weight and power.
Our roads could use less of the "every man for him-
self" and "chicken crossing the road" tactics. More
courtesy and more care could reduce the risk of
damaged vehicles and, more important, damaged
persons.

SERVICE


SLANTS


The Instrument Department recently
received word from Pfc. Sture Johana-
son of his travels these post-war days
in Europe. He was employed in the In-
strument Department here from June
1942 until his induction in October 1944.
He writes that his outfit is listed as one
of Army of Occupation units at Augs-
burg and that his particular division
took over an area in which were located
a brewery, a coke bottling plant and
four movie houses. The letter also
states that he was able to travel a
good bit throughout southern France,
to Nice, Cannes, Monte Carlo and other
spots on the Riviera. Upon his return
to Augsburg, Sture put in for transfer
to the American Technicians School, at
Warton, England. There he was to study
electrical instruments. When the eight
week course is ended he is not sure what
will be done with him but he hopes to
be sent back to the States.

Ralf Humphrys, who left the Gas
Plant in September, 1944 to join the
Navy, is at the Great Lakes training
station, attached to the clothing and
small stores department. "Have done
everything from driving a tow motor to
keeping books and that is what I am
doing now... been on this job for six
months now and like it a lot".
He has only 301/2 points toward a
discharge, but hopes that all those with
over 30 will be out within six months.
Future plans: he isn't sure, but is con-
sidering a year's schooling at govern-
ment expense.
Several Lagoites have looked him up
in the last year, and he guarantees a
good time in Chicago to any friends who
visit there.




Former Marine Supt. Here
Heads S O. (N.J.) Shipping

Millard G. Gamble, who was marine
manager here from 1939 to 1940, was
appointed general manager of the marine
department of Standard Oil Company
(N. J.) last month. He succeeds B. B.
Howard, who was recently made a direc-
tor. At the same time, John J. Winter-
bottom, marine manager from 1942 to
1944, was named assistant general ma-
nager.
Mr. Gamble was a U.S. Naval Acade-
my graduate in 1915. He first served oni
the battleship "Utah", and during the
war was chief engineer and later ex-
ecutive officer on the transport "Han-
cock". Service after the Armistice in-
cluded a period as chief engineer on the


M. 0. Gambal


Presidential yacht "Mayflower", and
later as Judge-Advocate of General
Courts Martial at Washington. Following
this he joined the Company's marine de-
partment, first in construction and re-
pair work and later in the operating
division.
Since leaving Aruba he has been as-
sistant general manager in New York.
Mr. Winterbottom, who has been in
the marine department since 1916, is
now on loan to the War Shipping Admi-
nistration, and will resume his Company
duties when that bureau releases him.


Nearly FIs. 200,000 Distributed By
Thrift Foundation as Share
Of Earnings and Forfeitures

News of importance to participants in the Lago Thrift
Foundation (totalling 97.8 per cent of all guilder-paid
employees who are eligible) was released October 2, when
it was announced that nearly FIs. 200,000 is to be distribu-
ted among them. This sum includes earnings of the
Foundation, and the Company contributions forfeited by
participants leaving the employ of the Company before be-
coming entitled to them, during the year ending September
30, 1945.
To each participant's thrift account will be added one
1) per cent of his credit balance, as his share in the ear-
nings of the Foundation. In addition, as his share in the
forfeitures, each participant's thrift account will be increas-
ed by eight and one-half (8%) per cent of the total of his
own and the Company's regular contributions from October
1, 1914 r, September 30 1l115
Statements of individual accounts for the year ending
September 30, 1945, including the additional credits, will be
sent to participants within a short time.
The announcement was made by the Lago Thrift Foun-
dation's Board of Administration, which includes J. J. Hori-
gan, Acting Chairman, Lt. Governor Dr. L. C. Kwartsz, C.
B. Garber, and F. Beaujon, with F. J. Getts as Acting
Secretary.

The ESSO NEWS greatly regrets the error in the October shift
schedule, and has taken steps to avoid any possible repetition.
The upper section, giving the days of the month, is changed in each
issue, while the lower portion, which always remains the same, is kept
untouched as a separate block of type and is used throughout the yo.ir
without change.
Last month, however, in breaking up the forms for the preceding
issue, a new printshop employee mistakenly separated the shift section
from the group section, and when it was replaced later, it was inver-
ted, with the result that all shifts were e-ror.
To prevent a recurrence, a linecut block has been made of the lower
portion including the shifts and groups, and those employees who find
the monthly feature to be a convenience at home are now assured that
the schedule will be correct In future.

Success


at St. Martin


West Indian Sport Club Starts With Good Record


Compliments and thanks were received in large measure by the United Swingsters orchestra last
month when they took their music to St. Martin on a goodwill tour. "Your Children's Day will long
be remembered.... we cannot be too grateful.... immense pleasure given us ... kindly carry the
greetings of St. Martin back to Aruba. . ." were some of the comments. The picture above shows
a portion of the crowd that heard them on Children's Day.


The United Swingsters, one of the
foremost musical organizations on the
island, sailed on the M. V. Kralendijk
August 25 on what was to be a melo-
dious trip to some of the Antilles.
The first stop was Bonaire, not on the
itinerary but a stop nevertheless. The
band disembarked, played for a Sunday
night party and moved on toward St.
Martin the next day. Upon their arrival
at St. Martin on the morning of Au-
gust 30, the boys decided to rest in order
to be in the best of condition for the
following day, the Queen's Birthday,
which promised great activity. And acti-
vity there was. In the morning, after
playing at the children's parade, the
Swingsters furnished music at the Gover-
nor's guest house. In the afternoon they
were heard at the horseraces, and that
night they played for the gala Queen's
Birthday Ball sponsored by the Gover-
nor.
September 1 turned into a holiday too
with all kinds of aquatic sports and boat
races. Between the 1st and 5th the
Swingsters filled their time by playing
all over St. Martin in both the Dutch
and French villages.
September 6 was Children's Day in
Phillipsburg. This was another festive oc-
casion. In the morning the children and
their parents assembled at the "Brick
Building", where a program of patriotic
music was heard and prizes of books
were given to the best pupil in each
grade in school. The prizes, the music
and refreshments were all donated by
the United Swingsters, who were th-'
major attraction.
The original plan of the organization,
was to travel through the islands playi-"
at various ports of call, but due to tran.--
portation difficulties the idea did nI,'
materialize. It is hoped that in th.
future, though, something of this natu.
can be arranged and carried through
successfully.

The "A" team of the new West Indian Sports
Club has a clear record in cricket so far, with
four st-aight wins. In the front row, left to right
are C. Assag,. H. Grant. K. C. Wong, K. Perrott
F. O. Robinson (captain). J. A. Butts, W. Brown,
and S. A. Bacchus. In back are Z. A. Khan, J.
Francisco, L. Edwards, D. Harry, G. Lawrence,
C. Rohee, E. A. Rankin, J. Lashley, and F. Bolah.
The picture was taken by N. Singh.


The newly formed West Indian Sporrs
Club, though not as yet an allstar team,
has shown consistent form in batting
and bowling and hopes to give a good
account of itself when cricket competi-
tion gets under way.
Divided into two teams, A and B, the
"A" team has played four matches to
date and has won all, their last victim
being the strong "Allies" eleven. Feature
of the West Indian "A" team was that
their captain, using the same 25c. coin,
has been able to elect to bat on every
occasion when the team has played.
The "B" team so far is off to a fairly
tough start. Their record is one game
played and one game lost.
The club, which came into being
during the latter half of August, has as
its president Charlie Rohee of Personnel,
and Eddie Rankin of T.S.D. as its vice-
president. Allan Kalloo of T.S.D. leads
the "B" team, and Frank Robinson of
Receiving & Shipping the "A".


The Lago-Lefties, a group of
port-sided cricketers who think
they are better than most of the
teams around, still have an open
challenge posted to take on all
comers. Any team wishing to
knock the chip off their shoulder
can send a challenge to Bertie Via-
Spree at the Central Tool Room.

THEN AND NOW Fourteen years
separate these two pictures, taken from
the same spot at the top of Pressure
Still No. 12. The one at left, taken in
September, 1945, shows the eastward
spread of refinery and colony. For old-
timers seeking to identify landmarks,
the first is dated March 31, 1931. In the
right foreground are the Chicago Bridge
& Iron Company's barracks, about where
the Cat Plant now stands. Just beyond
them is the old Hospital. Coming down
at the right are bungalows with never
a shrub, flower, or fence. At left center
are the "sheepsheds" which housed new

Football at the Sport Park took the
center of the stage this month as six
men met October 5 to organize a depart-
mental league. Gathering in the office
of Cliff Monroe, sports coordinator, the
committee formulated rules for the two
nine-team leagues and began the arran-
gement of schedules.
The leagues have been called the
Divi-divis and the Aloes, and assign-
ment of the teams to leagues was by
lot. In the competition two points are to
be given for each game won and one
point for each game tied. Play is to start
on October 21.
For the championship, the first place
team in each league will play the se-
cond place team in the other; the win-
ners of these two games make up the
finals. Competition is sure to be keen
and with games going off at the rate
of six per Sunday, a lot of football is
expected to be seen around here this
season. To add spice to the play, indi-
vidual medals are to be awarded to the
members of the teams playing in the
finals. Four other medals are to be gi-
ven too. They will go to the four men
who perform most outstandingly during
the season and who are not members of
the finalist teams.
At the end of the season an All-Star
Lago team is to be picked for possible
matching against outstanding island
teams. Serving as a committee to direct
the play will be the captains or the
managers of the teams.
The Steering Committee for the
league consists of E. Huckleman, of the
Dispensary, chairman, G. Ollivierre, of
the Electrical Department, secretary,
M. Croes of Colony Service, B. Chand
of the Storehouse, G. Lawrence of Gas
and Poly.

Championship


An inspired San Lucas team made a
strong bid for the baseball crown in the
second game of the championship series
September 23, setting up a five run lear'
early in the game, but the slow-starting
Savaneta Stars were not to be denied,
and after tieing it up in the eighth, went
on to push over two winning runs in the
ninth and end the league.
San Lucas started out to avenge the
previous week's defeat with lots of pep
and go. The first San Lucas run was
scored by van Heyningen on a single by
A. LeGrand; the other two runs in the
inning were made by Bryson on a sacri-
fice fly to right field, and R. Cooper,
who scored after his own triple had
brought him into third. In the fourth.
A. LeGrand again grabbed the honors,
driving in the fourth and fifth of San
Lucas' runs with a screaming line double
to left.
Defensively, the San Lucas boys had
improved tremendously from the prece-
ding Sunday, when errors marred their
performance considerably. L. Cooper
made a name for himself as a fielding
pitcher by starting three double plays
which ended three of his most trouble-
some innings.
In the seventh inning, however, the
famed Savaneta power began its march
and the soldiers started to score. Ventu-
ra scored first for Savaneta; Katz fol-
lowed right at his heels after which the
inning petered out.
In the eighth the fur really began to
fly; Ramirez walked and advanced to
second when Eskew reached first on an
error. Dallman's double through the box
scored Ramirez and Eskew made it an-
other when Ventura lifted a long sacri-
fice fly to left. Gcnzalez came through
with a looping single to right bringing
in Dallman. Carrera then ended the in-
ning grounding out, L. Cooper to Tocayo.
Score now 5-5.
The ninth really put the crusher on
the contest; Russell walked, Ramirez
singled, and that boy Dallman did it
again driving in the sixth and seventh
runs with another single. The next three
batters ended the inning by grounding
out to the shortstop, second and third
basemen respectively.
In both the eighth and ninth innings
San Lucas could not do any good for
themselves and ended the series by
going out 1-2-3 in the ninth.

The first game of the series on Sun-
day, September 16 was a disappointment
to the fans, for a really red hot tussle
was expected and it turned out to be a
runaway for the soldiers. Up until the
fifth inning there was no indication that
the game would be a washout. After giv-
ing up two runs pitcher L. Cooper was
jerked and the nod went to the right
fielder who couldn't stem the tide either,
and the frame ended with a big 5 on
the Savaneta side of the book. The sixth
inning was equally upsetting with more
pitchers and more runs coming in and
another big 5 for Savaneta. The seventh
saw a slight let down in the scoring
(Savaneta only got four runs instead of
five). After the seventh inning the game
settled down to try to end itself by dark,
which it finally did only after San Lucas
eked out its lone run in the eighth.
The following week's game, however,
did much to restore the confidence of the
fans, for it was a good ball game with
both teams playing a much better brand
of baseball.
Individual trophies for members of
the championship team are not yet here
due to shipping restriction; they will
be forwarded as soon as they arrive, to
end officially the 1945 baseball season.

During the last two or three years p.-
per has continually been near the top of
the list of scarce Items. The war created a
tremendously increased demand in both
military and business uses. while ahortage.
of men and materials in the paper indus
try brought further complications.
The war Is over, but many of the con-
ditions that caused the shortage remain in
effect, and will for many months to come.
The Ease News has been fortunate in mai,.
tainin sufficient supplies in the past, but
the scarcity has finally caught up with us.
By temporarily going on a restricted

of a substitute grade of paper, it is hoped
that publication can continue. Beginning
