Sickness, Accident, and
Death Policies Revised
With Greater Benefits

A new death benefit plan and also
important revisions in both the sick-
ness benefits policy and the accident
benefits policy for all Staff and Re-
gular employees were announced De-
cember 29.
Under the new plan, if an employee
dies of a non-industrial cause while
in the service of the Company, his
family is eligible for benefits which
vary according to the employee's
length of service.
These benefits range from three
months' to one year's normal earn-
ings according to the length of ser-
vice of the deceased.
The main revisions of the sickness
benefit policy provide for compensa-
tion for the time lost from work be-
cause of sickness or accidental injury
not incurred in the line of duty; and
there is a medical leave of absence
provision with certain of the ex-
penses paid.
The liberalization of the accident
benefits policy provides additional
benefits according to the employee's
length of service.
Details of these plans will be pub-
lished in the next issue.


Abrams New Chairman
As Gallagher Retires

Resignation of Ralph W. Gallagher
as chairman of the board of directors
of Standard Oil Company (N.J.) was
announced December 21. and became
effective ten days later. The board
at the same time announced the elec-
tion of Frank W. Abrams, a vice-
president and director, as chairman
to succeed Mr. Gallagler. With the
change, R.T. Haslam, a director since
1942, becomes a vice-president,
and S. P. Coleman. head of econo-
mics and coordination, becomes a di-
rector.
Mr. Gallagher, who retires after
49 years of service with Jersey Stan-
dard and its affiliates, went to work
at 16 as an oiler in a pumping sta-
tion. (His duties included sweeping
out the station every day). At night
he studied engineering. In 1900 he
went with the East Ohio Gas Com-
pany. and after holding a succession
of construction and supervising po-
sitions, became president of East
Ohio in 1926. He was elected a direc-
tor of Jersey Standard in 1933, be-
came vice-president in 1937. and was
made chairman of the board in 1942.
Mr. Abrams, the new board chair-
man, was employed as a draftsman
by the Eagle Works at Jersey City
in 1912 after graduating from Syra-
cuse University. In 1914 he became
assistant superintendent of Eagle
Works, and three years later became
superintendent. He was subsequent-
ly made manager of that unit and
the Parkersburg, West Virginia, re-
finery. He was named head of all re-
fining operations of the company in
he New Jersey area in 1926, and was
elected president of S. O. of New
Jersey in 1933. He was elected to
Jersey Standard's board in 1940, and
was made a vice-president in 1944.
Mr. Haslam, a research and gene-
ral sales expert, has been with the
Company since 1927, while Mr. Cole-
man's service exceeds 25 years.


Refinery Decorated for
First Peacetime Xmas

A great wartime producer of an
essential war material, aviation gas,
became a gigantic symbol of peace
late in December when the Cat Plant
was converted into a 22-story Christ-
mas tree with colored lights and an
illuminated star on top. (See picture
below).
The star, ten feet high, was equip-
ed with windmill blades to make it
revolve in the wind, and it was vi-
sible over much of the eastern end
of Aruba-
Clubs and Dining Halls were de-
corated, and safety boards were
surrounded by bright colored lights.
At the Main Gate and the Main Of-
fice, floodlighted silver Christmas
trees and big lighted signs displaying
the two-language phrase "Felices
Pascuas y Happy New Year" bore
season's greetings to employees.

When men are asked what they want most, they
seldom say "more money", or "a bigger house", or "a
long trip". Nine times out of ten the answer is "securi-
ty". The Four Freedoms of the Atlantic Charter re-
cognize this urge; they add up simply to the security
that all men yearn for.

To a Lago man many things go into the sum of his
security. He receives wages that permit him to live in
comfort, and his job is protected against unfair loss.
The Thrift Plan helps him to save for the future.
adding Company money to his own savings, and when
his need is urgent he can borrow from these savings.
His health and the health of his family are safeguarded
by a good hospital. If injured at work he receives c inn-
pensation. He (or his sons) may tece've tra nin l'ad-
ing to a better job. And at intervals he takes a vacation
with pay and with other financial help from the Com-
pany.

Recently an announcement was made of still more
aids to security. There is a new benefit policy for th"
families of staff and regular employees who may die
of non-industrial causes; a schedule of sickness benefits
for ordinary non-industrial illness or accidents; and a
revision of the industrial accident benefits policy giving
greater benefits depending on length of service.
The laws of the Curacao Territory set minimum be-
nefits in cases of industrial accident or death, but La-
go's benefits will be substantially greater than those
required by law. The Curacao regulation does not re-
quire compensation for non-industrial accident or
death, but the new Company policies will provide help
in both cases, as well as increased industrial accident
benefits that are more generous than the law provides.
If an employee cannot work because of certified ill-
ness he will receive a substantial portion of his pay,
and if it is necessary that he travel to Curacao for
treatment, he will be assisted with these expenses. If
he should die, the burden on his family will be relieved
by death benefits.
All three- of the plans recognize the good work of the
faithful employee by increasing the amount of benefits
as length of service increases. They help prevent many
of his uncertainties about the future, and they give

btAROUND 1HE PLANTm1


Nearly 14 years have passed since
Emilio Pieters of the Drydock came
to work for Lago. Now he believes
it's time for a rest. On December 15
he left to go back to Bonaire, marry
and settle down.

After seven and one half years in
Aruba Hans Wagemaker, of M. & C.
Colony Maintenance, is going home
soon to Leiden, Holland. Hans, son
of former Lt- Governor I. Wagema-
ker who is now staying at Sulpher
Springs, Maryland, is going back to
get his wife whom he married by
proxy in August of last year. After
the furlough the couple will return
to Aruba and live in Oranjestad.

New Year resolutions took a new
form for Joe Rodgers of the Acid
Plant. On December 28 he resolved
before the proper authorities to take
Miss Naomi Rey "to be his lawful
wedded wife...."

Riotous laughter, clinking of
glasses and the melodious strains of
the records of America's best dance
bands, showed that the party at Al-
fonso Gibbs' house on Christmas Eve
was a bang-up affair. At midnight,
an impromptu quartet rendered some
carols in fine style. It was made up
of E. Crichlow, R. Orosco, Doreen
Syed, and J. Syed.

Another of the many Christmas
parties that ushered in the holiday
season was that at Monica Illidge's
home December 22 for the Lago Po-
lice office force and their friends.
Juliana Hodge, Paul Wallace, and
Miss Illidge arranged the party, and
30 guests enjoyed an evening of
carol singing, gifts, impromptu acts.
and plenty to eat and drink.

One of the first in the Col. B. &
M. Department to take advantage of
the new vacation plan is Abraham
Mathews. On January 21, he is re-


turning home to St. Martin for the
first time in 12 years.

Gonsalves Cup From Curagao

Wilhelmina Sport Park was the
scene on Saturday, December 29, and
Sunday, December 30, of the first
official inter-island tournament for
the Gonsalves Cricket Trophy. An
All-Curacao XI travelled here to
meet two Aruba XI's for the trophy.
On Saturday the match was be-
tween All-Curacao and the Cam-
bridge Combined Sport Club, with
Captain Yearwood declaring his in-
nings at 104 for 8 against the Cam-
bridge XI's 56. Cambridge Combined
batted again and lost 9 wickets for
50 runs at the close of play.
On the following day the All-
Aruba XI was matched against the
All-Curacao XI and Captain Brown
of All-Aruba, declaring his innings
at 165 for 9, got the visiting team
out for 100 just before the close of
play.
This series of matches. organized
by Cyril Brown of Instrument,
brought the Gonsalves Cup to Aruba
where it will remain until next year
when it will be put up again.
Among the outstanding nlavers
were: for Curacao. Hqvlinw Griffith,
Barra, and Howell- for Aruba thev
were McLean. Worrell Edwards.
Perrott. Howe, Kahn and Campbell.
Fair weather favored the tourna-
ment, a pleasant change from last
year's deluges in Curacao where
both matches were rained out.

To Pitch Teammates to

The Netherlands Army must have
a powerful hold on Juan Maduro. Af-
ter working from 1937 to 1943 on the
Drydock he was inducted into the
Dutch Army and served until No-
vember 30 1.95, He came back to
work at his old job on December 5.
Two weeks later he was back with
the army aga'n b1' uncle d feient
circumstances; this t:me he was the
star pitcher on the army softball
team which went over to Curacao for
a weekend to play an army tean
over there. The men from Aruba
played well and succeeded in win-
ning a cup.
Later in the same weekend the
Arubans played football against a
Shell team, and after a tough game
the soldiers were presented with me-
dals by their opponents. The trip
lasted from December 21 to Decem-
ber 24.

Utilities and Col. Serv.
Win Leagues; Playoff
To Be Held 13th & 20th

Emerging victorious after 11
weeks of keen competition, two
teams, Colony Service Administra-
tion of the Aloe League and Utilities
of the Divi-Divi league, were success-
ful in beating off the best efforts of
their less powerful rivals and gained
the championships of the respective
leagues. These teams, with the se-
cond place winners in each league,
will play January 13 and 20 for the
big championship cup.
The football competition, which
started on October 21 and lasted un-
til January 6, got under way slowly,
but a definite interest was establish-
ed as the season progressed. In the
beginning it was a see-saw battle un-
til teams with more on the ball than
the rest moved out in front and stay-
ed there.
In the Aloe league, Colony Service
Administration went quickly to the
fore and has succeeded in holding
its position. The story is the same
for Utilities in the Divi-Divi league.
Teams like Machinists, Light Oils,
Personnel and Drydock were in there
until the last gun fired and made it
tough for the leaders all the way.
Reaching second place in the Aloe
league was the strong Machinists
team. And in the Divi-Divi league.
Light Oils Finishing, last year's
champions, filled the second place
slot.

On Sunday, January 13, the first
of a two game series of playoff
games will be played with the first
place team in each league meeting
the second place team in the other
league to decade which two teams
will be in the final game for the
championship on Sunday, January
20. at the Sport Park.
Games on the 13th will start at
3:00 p.m. with Colony Service Ad-
ministration meeting Light Oils, and
at 4:30 Utilities and the Machinists
will clash.
The winners of these two games
will go at each other on the 20th at
4:00 for the championship of the
Sport Park Football League.
After the championship has been
decided the plans are to select an All-
Star Lago team for possible com-
petition against prominent island
teams.

Visitor Recounts Story
Of Norway's Privation

In a recent visit to Aruba, Mr.
Tim Norgaard, a representative of C.
Tennant Sons and Co., a tanker con-
cern of Oslo, Norway, told an in-
teresting tale of the disagreeable
conditions in his homeland during
the Nazi occupation. Mr. Norgaard
said that the Germans, for their co-
ming, left the Norwegians a more
closely knit people and the country
morally stronger.
"Food", he said, "was one of the
main tangible restrictions they im-
posed upon us. The rationing was
very strict and the Nazis took the
best of everything we had and gave
us the leftovers." No meat or fruit
or white bread was available at all
and only one-half liter of milk a day
was allowed for each child, and this
only when it was available. The main
diet was fish and potatoes and even
these were poor quality, as the Nazis
had taken the best.
The hardest years were 1942 and
1943 but as time went on the country
became more organized and got to
know how to beat the Germans at
their own game. Interesting is the
fact that due to the food restrictions
the teeth of the Norwegians are
stronger than ever before. This is
laid to the absolute absence of sweets
and candies.
He characterized the Germans as
a dangerous people because of their
great conceit and completely erratic
dealings with the Norwegians. He
said that actions that on one oc-
casion might be condoned by the Na-
zis could very easily become cause on
another occasion for one's being
dragged off to jail in the middle of
the night. To combat this sort of
psychological pressure, the Nor-
wegians developed a pressure of their
own.
By meeting all the German at-
tempts to get close to them with
stony silence or complete indifferen-
ce they tended to make the invaders
feel that they were there only on
borrowed time. This made the Ger-
mans even more nervous and erratic,
and eventually became more of a
strain on them than on the people
they had supposedly conquered.
He also said that the Germans
could never understand why the Nor-
wegians did not take them to their
hearts as saviors and friends. This
resulted in the use of foolish propa-


Surinam Club Moves
Into New Quarters

The Surinam Club opened its new
clubhouse in San Nicolaas December
29, with a handsome bronze plaque
made by Lago forces adorning the
entrance.
The club is a social organization
composed of 520 members, with the
object of promoting better under-
standing between Surinamers and
other groups in Aruba.
Up until this time the club, which
was founded in August 1941, has
been holding its functions in the se-
veral local theaters and since most
of these were available on Sunday
mornings only, the activities of the
organization were limited. The club
has, in the past, had lecturers to talk
to the members on various topics of
interest. But with the new home
ready the possibilities for this sort
of thing become unlimited.
Patron of the club is Mr. L. C.
Kwartsz, the Lieutenant-Governor,
and presiding over the monthly meet-
ings is chairman J. Simoons, with
E. Finck handling the secretarial
end.

ganda to try to win them over.
He mentioned the fact that the
Norwegian government is function-
ing today because the Germans over-
looked a single undersea torpedo
battery in Oslofjord 30 miles away
from the city of Oslo. The incident
occurred on April 9, the day of in-
vasion.
It seems that the German battle-
ship "Blucher" was carrying a com-
plete new government staff to take
over as soon as the ship docked in
Oslo. The plan was to surprise the
city, arrest the existing government,
including the king, then set up the
new puppet government in a matter
of hours. The battery which the Ger-
mans had missed destroyed their
hopes for a quick coup, for on only
a few hours notice some retired of-
ficers gathered, manned the battery
and put the "Blucher" out of action,
giving the existing government a
chance to get away.
Mr. Norgaard related that on the
day of liberation in May, 1945, 50.000
well-armed men sprang up from the
underground and started to round up
the Norwegian traitors. The Ger-
mans were treated carefully until
there were enough British and Ame-
rican troops present to handle them
easily.
Mr. Norgaard's visit to Aruba was
very pleasant and he was pleased
with the welcome extended to him.
His trip was to take him to Cuba
next, then to New York where he
will stay for a month.

A wing of B-29 bombers operating
from the Marianas against Japan
usually contained 120 planes in
operation and 60 in reserve. When
maintenance was high, almost all of
the 180 were sent out on a single
strike. The B-29 wing on Saipan
alone used 960,000 gal. of aviation
gasoline for a single mission in
March '45.

From Tarakan in Borneo, Jan
Oorthuis of the Lago Police received
word from his son Gerard, a former
electrician here, of his experiences
with the Netherlands Oil Battalion.
Gerard wrote that the first land-

of considerable bombing then in
progress. As soon as most of the
Japs had been driven out, however,
intensive restoration work was start-
ed, which was difficult at first be-

cause most of the installations were
badly damaged. In a comparatively
short time they had put many of the
generators back into service again.
In addition to repeated bombings,
guerillas hindered the work of the
battalion. Jerry wrote that one night
after he had finished work he spot-
ted two Japs, one carrying a light
machine-gun and the other some
hand grenades. He said he was lucky
because he saw them first and was
able to shoot one and force the other
with the grenades to drop them.
Jerry is still in Borneo and likes
his work very much. He wishes to
be remembered to all his friends in
Aruba.
