INAMES IN THE NEWS I Wages and Hours Changed To Meet Current Conditions


New Work-Pay|lSchedule Returns Plant to Peacetime Basis


Following discussions in staff meetings and with employee representative
committees, wages and hours throughout the plant were revised November 1. A
uniform working schedule was adopted, and a 15 per cent general increase was
made in all base rates with the exception of some which were recognized to be
out of line.
In the new work schedule, all operations on a 48-hour straight-day or irre-
gular schedule revert to a 45-hour week, with minor exceptions. (Those emplo-
.ees previously on 44 or 45 hours continue on that schedule). All operations
working a 50.4 hour shift revert to a 48-hour shift schedule, while those pre-
viously working a 48-hour shift continue on that basis.


A Company employee, Sergeant Nicholas Oresk,
of Stance, receives the Congressional Medal or
Honor from President Harry Truman Octolbe 12
before highest-ranking Army and Navy officers.
He won the nation's highest honor for an exploit
as a platoon leader with General Patton's army
In Germany. A few days after receiving the me-
dal, he met with the directors of S. 0. (N.J.),
who presented him with a gold watch bearing
an Inscription of the presentation.


Service awards last month included one for 20
years to Fred Penney, assistant division super.
Intendent who Is one of the "oldest-timers."
Originally employed by Mexpet at Carteret, New
Jersey on May 27, 1925, he came to Aruba June
0, 1927 as superintendent, and later for many
years was general foreman of Receiving & Ship-
ping.

Canadian Gold Interests
To Operate in Aruba
The visit of Canadian mining experts
to Aruba about a year ago has develop-
ed into the formation of a company
that will begin gold mining operations
here for the first time in 25 years, ac-
cording to a business news bureau in th.
United States.
The company, which is capitalized in
the Curacao Territory at 3,000,000 Ca-
nadian dollars, believes that operations
may still be profitable if modern me-
thods are employed. Arrangements are
being made to ship to Aruba machinery
and other equipment now in their pos-
session.
Gold was first discovered here about
1825, and for the next 100 years the
industry was never very profitable for
any company that attempted it- The
only one that made a return on its in-
vestment started in 1908, smelting ore
brought in by individual miners and
paying according to the amount of
gold found.
Mining of any variety was abandoned
with the advent of the daily wage scale
brought by the petroleum industry in
1927. Since then the picturesque ruins
have gathered rust and romance.


The revival of Curagao Territory's
substantial pre-war tourist trade became
a possibility last month with the lifting
of wartime restrictions on visitors.
Tourists and businessmen again need
only a passport and vaccination certifi-
cate for entry.


F. S. Earnings Adjusted
To Bayway-Bayonne Rates

Following the policy of relating ad-
justments in earnings for Foreign Staff
employees in Aruba to those at Bayway
and Bayonne, the Company announced
the increase of base wages and salaries
by 15 per cent, and at the same time
pay schedules were adapted to the re-
.ised working schedule.
The change was made effective Sep-
tember 9, the same date as the change
to peacetime wages and hours was made
'it Bayway-Bayonne.



Long Vacations Provided
For S. & R. Employees
By New Vacation Policy

Company and Employees Maintain
Savings Plan for Financial Aid

After discussion with the Employees'
Advisory Committee last month an ex-
panded vacation policy for Staff and
Regular employees was announced, with
the effective date placed at September
1. The new plan will not only increase
the length of vacations, facilitating tra.
vel or longer relaxation from work, but
will provide financial assistance. A vo-
luntary savings plan will operate, in
which the Company will match on an
equal basis the amounts regularly con-
tributed to the plan by the employee.

Under the previous arrangement no
vacation was given until the second
year of employment, and a maximum of
two weeks was given in any year. Un-
der the new plan an employee receives
one week after his first year of employ-
ment. Two weeks vacation is given after
the second and third year, and foul
weeks after the fourth year. Thereaf.
ter the employee has a four-week vaca-
tion every fourth year, with two weeks
during the intervening years.
The savings plan provides for volun-
tary contributions of one, two or three
per cent of regular earnings by em-
ployees, with the Company matching
these amounts equally. The total of his
own and Company contributions is re-
turned to the employee when he takes
his long vacation every fourth year,
providing a worthwhile sum to assist ill
the costs of the vacation.
(If an employee is terminated through resig-
nation or discharge, be receives his own contli-
b..ions with interest. If terminated by lay-off.
medical discharge, retirement or death, he --
ceves the Company's contributions as well i11
his own. No withdrawals or loans may be made,
though contributions may be suspended for a
time).
At the same time the Company an-
nounced a one-time special grant to each
Staff and Regular employee at the time
he first takes his long vacation. This will
be an amount equal to 16-2/3 per cent of
his contributions to the Lago Thrift
Fund during a maximum of four years
preceding his long vacation (or for what-
ever lesser period he has been a Thrift
Plan participant.) This special grant,
given only once, will assist in providing


One Strike and Out


Caesar de Souza points to damage done In his
room during an electrical storm last month.
Caesar de Souza works in the Power-
house, hence can be assumed to be
fairly familiar with electricity. There's
a limit to which such familiarity should
go, though, as he said when a bolt of
lightning came into his Lago Heights
room and sat down with him during one
of last month's electrical storms.
He was sitting in his room in the
Bachelor Quarters when suddenly there
was a flash and his radio sat there smo-
king and useless. The lightning had tra-
veled along the aerial wire, through the
door frame and into the radio (now
for sale very cheap). Evidence of the
force of the charge is shown in the pic-
lure of the blackened and battered
doorway. (Photograph by Rajroop)

tion, before the new vacation plan has
operated for four years. In addition, the
Thrift Plan has been amended to per-
mit withdrawal of 66-2/3 per cent of a
participant's own contributions, instead
of a maximum 50 per cent as in the
past.


Changes in Hours Wages, and
Vacation Plan Announced for
Staff and Regular Employees

To assist in meeting rising living
costs, and to maintain "take-home pav'
after the reduction of hours to a 45 and
48-hour schedule, effective November 1
all base rates for Staff -and Regular
employees were increased 15 per cent.
Hourly rates were rounded out to the
nearest half-cent upward, and all 44, 45.
and 48-hour rates were rounded out to
the nearest five guilders upward.
At the same time, the vacation policy
was broadened to give longer vacations
at certain intervals, and to provide finan-
cial assistance that will facilitate travel
or otherwise aid in the increased time
away from work. (See below for details
of this policy).
A limited number of exceptions to the
general increases include certain hourly
and monthly rates which the manage-
ment considers are in excess of the pre-
sent maximum rate for the specific type
of work involved, and are recognized to
be out of line. Individual adjustments
will be made in some of these cases, but
in no case will an employee receive less
total earnings under the revised work-
ing schedule than he is now earning. In
the necessary adjustment of these in-
equalities, Management took the oppor-
tunity of correcting out-of-line rates at
a time when no employee would suffer
a reduction in earnings.

That the Company added from its great store of
technical "know-how" to the development of the
atomic bomb, now revealed for the first time, is shown
by the letter at right, from the Army's Engineer Office
to the Standard Oil Development Company.
In countless ways, ranging from the development of
synthetic rubber to the making of anti-aircraft gun
parts, the skills and labor of Company men and women
reached into the mass of war work to be done, and it
was natural that they should also contribute to this fi-
nal development that brought the war to a quick close.
War work over, Jersey employees nearly 100,000
strong turn again to the job that has always made them
and their Company leaders in the oil industry.


Lago Youth Wins Teagle Sch


Gene Kimler, who graduated from
Lago High School in June, was awarded
a scholarship at Cornell University by
the recently-formed Teagle Foundation,
according to word received here early
this month. He joins two men and six
women, representing the Jersey and
Delaware companies, Carter, Lago, and
S.O.D., who are the first winners of the
scholarships s endowed by Walter C-
Teagle, retired board chairman of S.O.
Co. (N.J.).
Gene, whose father works at the Pres-
sure Stills, proved himself a natural
leader during the junior and senior
years he spent in the high school here.
Scholastically he ranked in the upper
fifth of his class, and he took a promi-
nent part in many school and communi-
ty activities.
He was president of the Senior class
last year, and president of the Student
Advisory Committee. He played the
lead in the annual school play, and was
editor of the year book. He led the
organized flag-raising and lowering
which for a month commemorated Pre-
sident Roosevelt's death. He was secre-
tary of the Sunday School class for high
school boys. He was an Eagle Scout,
and at the last Boy Scout Day he was
chosen to act as general manager of the
plant for the day. In all respects he
showed outstanding potentialities of
leadership, one of the qualities stressed
in making the scholarship awards.
Gene, who is 18, was born in Tampico,
Mexico, and later moved to the States.
The Teagle Scholarships have a mini-
mum value to cover tuition and fees,
and may include additional amounts for
personal expenses, depending on the
circumstances of the winners. The Foun-
dation places no obligation on the candi-
dates to follow any specific course of
study, nor to pursue their later careers
with the Company.



"C.Y. ." Winners Garner

ber was Fls. 100 and went to S. G.

ss -News


The heroism of three crew members
of a Jersey Standard tanker, the S.S.
"Esso Little Rock", was described in an
announcement by the War Shipping
Administration last month.
The incident concerned the rescue of
fallen Navy fliers by crew members of
the tanker. While the ship was en route
to the Pacific a message was dropped
to the bridge by a Navy PBY flying
boat, giving the position of a Catalina
bomber with a crew of eight aboard
which had been forced down in a heavy
sea.
The "Esso Little Rock" cruised in the
vicinity of the position given until a flare
was sighted. Seven men off the tanker
manned a life boat and by skilful hand-
ling in the rough water accomplished
the rescue of the airmen who otherwise
would have perished.
It was during the rescue that the
three men mentioned in the announce-
ment distinguished themselves to the
extent they received the Meritorious
Service Medal of the Maritime Service.

After more than two years of study
of the Atlantic Coastal Plain region by
Standard Oil geologists, plans to drill
for oil on the barrier beach off the coast
of North Carolina have been announced
by the Standard Oil Company of New
Jersey. The wildcat well will be sunk
near the old Cape Hatteras lighthouse
which is about 160 air miles southeast
of Norfolk, Virginia.
If the Hatteras test proves the pre-
sence of oil in the Coastal Plain section,
incentive will be furnished for further
test drilling in the shallow water of the
Coastal Plain areas.

"A detached brain for explosive pro-
jectiles", is the tag that was hung on
the VT fuse. The VT Fuse Project was
assigned to the Carter Oil Co. of Tulsa
Okla., a Company affiliate, in 1942. The
result was the perfection of the radio-
proximity fuse which is rated second
only to the atomic bomb in winning the
war.
The VT fuse may be said to convert
antiaircraft fire into a game of horse-
shoes in that it makes the close ones
count. The fuse works on the principle
of radio wave reflection, emitting a sig-
nal as the shell travels trough the air.
If it should pass near a plane a weak sig-
nal is reflected back to the shell and the
mechanism instantly explodes the shell,
hurling its concentrated death and des-
truction around the area.
Carter's principle task was to develop
a device which would positively prevent
the accidental explosion of the shell un-
til it had been fired and was a consider-
able distance on its way toward its
target.

Kenneth Yandell, longtime member of
the employee relations group in the Jer-
rey refineries, has been appointed ve-
teran's administrator for the Standard
Oil Company of New Jersey, which had
over a thousand men in the armed for-
ces.
Mr. Yandell, who had been with the
Navy in the first World War, served
nuain from 1942 to 1945.

Lago Heights Kids Exhibit Skill in Arts And Crafts


The Heights kids are no mean hands with needle and thread, not to mention brush and pencil,
as the picture above shows.


With thirty contestants eagerly milling
around them and hoping they would be
the lucky ones, the judges at the Lago
Heights Arts and Crafts Exhibit were
hard put to it to decide who were to be
favored with the prizes. The exhibit,
run from October 16 to 20, was judged
on the afternoon of the last day in the
auditorium of the Lago Heights Club.
The young competitors ranged in age
up to 13 years and were split into two
groups, the 'A' group which ran up to
9 years and the 'B' group running in
age from 9 to 13 years. Three prizes
were given in each group, a first, a se-
cond and a special.
In the 'A's the first prize went to M.
Kalloo, second to S. Emers and the spe-
cial to S. Wellman. In the 'B's first went
to Werleman and the special was
awarded to J. da Silva.
Overall best for the whole exhibit, both
'A' and 'B' groups was given to J. de
Vries. On the whole the exhibit was
thought to be a success and it is hoped
that another can be held at some future
date. Judges for the contest were E.
Chin and Mrs. R. van Blarcum.

Two years ago he had two pieces

it was worth Fls. 3,000 to him. He
promptly built a house.
Last week, blessed by more than
ordinary good fortune, he turned up
with one-fourth of the second prize
ticket, worth Fls. 2,500.

Excess of rain in St. Martin (see
below) may be causing the shortage
of that commodity in Aruba.
This time last year people were
beginning to develop web feet, and
rowboats were beginning to sprout
little rowboats, as seven inches of
rain fell in the first two weeks of
November. The first two weeks of
this year's November, however, to
the sadness of farmers and garden-
ers, has produced only 0.235 inches.
Last year's record-setting total
was 31 inches, and so far this entire
year we have had only 11 inches.
Farmers and planners of beach pic-
nics can look at it optimistically or
pessimistically, as they choose -
either it's a very dry year, or there's
a whale of a lot of rain yet to fall
between now and December 31.


Rain, four days of it, fell on the
island of St. Martin last month causing
considerable loss to the inhabitants in
livestock and crops. The downpour,
starting on October 4 and lasting
through October 7, is reported to have
been the greatest that has fallen on St.
Martin in almost a century.
The deluge of water evidently caught
many persons off guard and sent them
rushing to higher ground without being
able to save much except personal be-
longings. For this reason a lot of sheep,

pigs and goats were lost.
A great deal of damage was done in
the higher area to some of the crops.
Fresh Pond Bridge was flooded over
and the resulting traffic tie up lasted
until the water receded and the roads
could be repaired. The source of this in-
formation, Elliot Maundy of Phillips-
burg, also stated in his letter to the
Aruba Esso News that on parts of the
island the water reached a height of
eight and a half feet.
This bit of "news" is published for
the interest of any St. Martin employees
who might not have heard about the
freak weather.

Executives of Esso Marketers, Macy's
department store, and Ercoupe, makers
of a new low-priced, spin-proof airplane,
got a peep into the post-war world last
month with a demonstration of the plane
at a New Jersey field October 8.
The occasion of the demonstration
was the start of Macy's plan, the first
by any department store, to merchandise
planes directly to the public. After a
luncheon given by Esso's sales group,
guests drove to the airport and had an
opportunity to fly the plane themselves.


The Board of Directors of Stan.

Missing Son Given Up as Lost

L. G. Lopez of the Gas Plant recei-
ved official War Department notifica-
tion November 12 of the "presumptive
finding of death" in the case of his son,
Technical Sergeant Victor Lopez, who
had been missing in action since April
8, 1944.
Victor's last mission was a bombing
raid from a base in England to Bruns-
wick, Germany. Heavy enemy opposition
was encountered and his plane was shot
down near the target area.
As crew member on Liberator bom-
bers, he had received the Air Medal and
an Oak Leaf Cluster, for many missions
includingg the Ploesti Refinery raid.
The letter from the Army's Adjutant
General says "An appraisal of the sa-
crifice made by your son in the service
of his country compels in us feelings of
humility and respect.



Plant Reporter System
Organized for Improved
Employee News Coverage

Inaugurating a system which will
broaden the paper's coverage of news
about employees, the Esso News is in the
process of setting up a network of plant
reporters. Thirty-five men and women
will represent all the larger depart-
ments, serving voluntarily as "tipsters"
for their group of employees.
The reporters will not be expected to
write their stories. Their function, and
a most important one, will be to give
the staff "news tips"; that is, to let
them know that something has happen-
ed, or may be about to happen, that will
be of interest to a wide range of readers.
In all cases possible, the reporters
have been chosen on the basis of their
past interest in turning in news notes,
or because they are centrally located in
a department and will be in a position
to hear of newsy happenings.
Each reporter is to receive a perso-
nally-inscribed booklet containing in-
struction and advice that will help him
in representing his group to the plant.
As this issue goes to press approxi-
mately half of the reporters have been
selected, and the remainder will be cho-
sen within a few days. A complete list
of the reporters and the group they
represent will be published next month.

First plant reporter to go to work
w s Mrs. Ivy Butts of the Power-
house, who, within an hour of her
appointment, turned in a good tip
for a future issue. News tips used
in this issue were turned in by re-
porters Ricardo van Blarcum of
Stewards, and Mario Harms of the
Boiler Shop.


TO BE MARRIED next week are
Leendert van Windt of Colony Adminis-
tration, and Dolly Alfarez- The ceremo-
ny is to be performed November 29 at
San Francisco Church in Oranjestad.
They will make their home at Socotorro.

Mohamad Rohoman. assistant
operator at Powerhouse No. 1, whose
bride-to-be arrived November 12,
has the marriage date set for No-
vember 28.

Val Linam, who shortly before the
war ended was transferred on an in-
definite basis from personnel work
with Lago to personnel work with
the U.S. Army, wound up his special
training November 1 and is now
awaiting permanent assignment,
probably to Camp Chaffee, Arkan-
sas.
Training as a classification and
vocational counselor, he had two
months schooling at Camp, Lee, Vir-
ginia, and another two months at
Camp Oglethorpe, Georgia. He says
he graduated complete with diploma

Andrew Knox, former Payroll De-
partment employee, sent cabled advice
to friends here last month that he was
"safe in British hands" at Rangoon.
Andy left here in 1940, was next heard
from in London where he joined the
British army and married an Irish nurse,
and became a Jap prisoner of war when
Singapore fell.


A Head But No Brains

It is a strange fact that one of
man's most common necessities is
also one of his biggest potential
dangers.
Fires started by matches (mostly
by matches that are carelessly
handled) take hundreds of lives
every year. Matches lead all other
causes in responsibility for fire
destruction, with an annual charge
against them of $ 30,000,000 in the
United States.
These little bits of wood and
chemical are at once one of our best
friends and worst enemies. They can
be used, but they must also be
guarded against.

Now more than ever -

Safe and careful handling is al-
ways necessary, but right now it is
more essential than ever, during a
temporary period when regular
matches have been unobtainable and
a poor substitute must be used.
Strike them away from you, to
avoid being burned by hot flying
fragments of the head. And after
using a match, hold it until all after-
glow is gone and you know the
match is out. Good rules to follow
with any match any time, they are
extra good rules during the short
time when inferior matches are all
we can get.
Matches have heads but can't think.
The user has to do the thinking.

Scouts on Outdoor Encampment

Travelling to Colombia this year
for their annual outdoor encamp-
ment, about 35 Boy Scouts from
Aruba will join other boys from the
area next month in three weeks of
scouting.
Led by Camp Chief Gordon Olli-
vierre of Utilities and Deputy Camp
Chief Antonio Morales of the Ga-
rage, the boys will travel by steamer
to Santa Marta, Colombia, and after
a few days they will go on to Ba-
ranquilla. They plan to leave Aruba
December 15 and will return January

The fourth quarterly supper at the Lago Community Church October 24 brought out a large crowd
f all ages to feast on meat balls and spaghetti, cole staw, and assorted pies and cake. Entertain-
ment features afterward included community singing (below), led by Wayne Simmons, and a de-
moestration of archery (above) by Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Waddell. Archery Is comparatively new to
the Celony, and the frequency of the bulls-eyes brought many gasps from the spectators.


The U.N.I.A. Hall was the scene of the Anglican Church's annual Harvest Festival November 1I
and 12. The picture shows a portion of the gifts brought by members for sale the second evening
of the festival.


Carrying on a custom which has long
been a part of Anglican life, the mem-
bers of the Anglican Church in San Ni-
colas gathered in the U. N. I. A. Hall
on Sunday, November 11, to hold the
annual Anglican Harvest Festival. The
Church members, many of whom are
employees, contributed gifts of fruits,
flowers, clothes, money, and groceries.
The Church was started in May 1941
by Father Jenson of Saba, who now
pays the congregation quarterly visits.
Services are conducted by lay readers,
R. Martin, V. Thorn, and L. van Putten.


These men are assisted by J. Hazlewood,
B. Noel, and R. Lake.
The Church is well organized and re-
ceives a good measure of cooperation
from its members, who number approxi-
mately 1,000. The Festival, the first of
its kind in Aruba, was said to be a suc-
cess and all the gifts were greatly ap-
preciated. The celebration started on
Sunday with Matins and Procession at
10 a.m. and continued with a Children's
Service at 2 p.m. and a Sacred Concert
at 7 p.m. On Monday the sale of gifts
and refreshments was held at 7 p-m.

Applications for the new Vacation Plan
have been made by 3,927 employees as
this issue goes to press, and the number
continues to grow. Marle Fortin, ear
driver, had the distinction of making Ap-
plication No. 1.
For the convenience of those who
wanted to take advantage of the plan's
benefits, representatives of the Personnel
Department set up temporary offices in
all large departments November 12 and
13. Following this, applications are now
being taken at the Personnel Office.


High on the sports horizon for
next month is a visit from a team
of cricket players from C.P.I.M. in
Curaqao.
The Cambridge Cricket Club
(combined) is arranging a match,
which is tentatively scheduled for
December 29 and 30 at the Wilhel-
mina Sport Park near Oranjestad.
With cricket circles relatively
quiet here in recent months, or-
ganizers of the match are urging
Lago's experts to get some much-
needed practise to help hold up Aru-
ba's end.
