~-L-- --~- VOL. 7. No. 4 PJBLISHED BY THE LAGO OIL & TRANSPORT CO., LTD. MARCH 15, 1946 Name Apprentice Sport Field To Honor Training School Head "Hassell Field", a recreation area located near the Training Building, was officially named at the apprentice gra- duation exercises February 22, with an announcement that came as a surprise to E. A. L. Hassell, prin- cipal of the Ap_ prentice Training S School. As an un- scheduled feature of the program, this was revealed S f by General Man- i ger L. G. Smith, .L who said Mr. Hassell's name was chosen in honor of his long association with the development of apprentice training. The field, which will soon be complet- ed, is to be used for football, basketball, and other sports during the apprentices' recreation periods. With the gradual expansion of apprentice training facilit- ies, a larger recreation ground than the back court of the Training Building be- came necessary, and the new site was developed between the rear of the Train- ing Building and the Hydro-Alky office.

Employees are reminded that war- time price controls are still in effect in Aruba, as they are in many other parts of the world. Designed to keep prices from soaring out of reach, these controls are at least as ne- cessary now as they were during the war years, and possibly more so. They are a protection against your guilder or dollar or shilling losing its value. They protect your cost of living increase, which is calculated on costs at the time it is made, from being eaten up and more by an auto. matic upward shift of prices. China, where a bale of money may be need- ed today and two bales tomorrow for a loaf of bread, is a grim example of prices running wild. A control system exists here, but it cannot function widely unless shoppers report exorbitant prices to [NCU. Anyone who charges more than the established price for an ob- ject is not only breaking the law, he is lifting money that is not rightful- ly his out of the pockets of shoppers, and he can only be stopped if he is reported. An unusual feature of the apprentice training course gra- duation exercises at the Lago Club Fe- bruary 22 was the presentation of an expertly-made stain- less steel ashtray to Lago Director W. J. Haley by Leonardo Tromp, at right, who turned it out at the Machine Shop as his part of the exhibit of apprentices' work. It was engraved with 0 Mr. Haley's name. and "Lage Apprent- ice Graduation, 1946". Mr. Haley, who had not known of the presentation .. In advance, was so pleased with it that he said as long as It was on his desk "he . would allow only d. . presidents and dlrec- tors to use It". .

Old-Timers Get Service Awards at Marine Party A pleased smile wreathes the face of Chief Engineer Sunley Atkinson as he receives his 20-year button from J. M. B. Howard in the Marine club February 18. With him in the picture is Captain William Craig, who also received his 20-year service award. Long service buttons were presented for the first time to Lake Fleet person- nel February 18, during a farewell par- ty for J. M. B. Howard in the Marine club. First of those to receive 20-year buttons were Chief Engineer S. Atkin- son and Captain W. Craig. Captain W. McPhee, not present at the time, was also due to receive a 20-year button. A number of ten-year buttons were pre- sented to officers of the Fleet who were present. Senior Officer of the Fleet, Chief Atkinson's service dates from April, 1925, when he was appointed Chief En- gineer of the "Inverrosa" for her maiden trip to Aruba. "Atky" still has a yellow- ing copy of the letter written to him by Andrew Weir & Co., in March, 1925, J. Mc. Nab L. Stuart T. Richards F. Ellis J. B. Fernando S. A. Jones H. K. Jackson T. E.

He found himself richer by Fls. 1,000, which represented one-half of a fourth prize in the Fortuna lottery. Eliphelet's win- ning number was No. 8467. How close have you been coming lately? offering him the Chief's berth on "a small tank steamer for trading on the Venezuelan coast", with wages at 28 pounds per month. Since then he has served as Chief Engineer on many Lago tankers. Captain Craig started his service with the Fleet in May, 1925, when he came to Aruba as Chief Officer of the "Invercaibo" on her maiden run. In March, 1927, he was made master of the "Francunion". After serving on a succession of vessels, he left the "Mara- cay" in April, 1943, to take up duties with the shore staff. Following are all personnel eligible for ten-year buttons at the time of the first awarding of service emblems in the Fleet: Mc. Call G. Alexander E. Weight M. Chandler V. Sherwood L. Morgan Me.

Mingus at Harvard For Business Course A new step in the Company's program of developing members of its manage- ment group along broad, progressive lines was taken recently when 0. Min- gus, process su- perintendent, left to attend a 13- week course in executive train. ing at the Har- vard Business School. The students, who include executives frbm different sorts of of companies all over the Ameri- ca's, are in class from 8:30 in the morning until 5:00 in the afternoon. They live in dormitories with other men in the course, and both in class and out can share the benefits of their varying backgrounds. Sending Mr. Mingus "back to school" is a phase in the policy for developing the Company's leaders from within the organization, rather than employing outsiders for executive positions. It is characteristic of Standard's method of operating that top management is comn posed of men who have come up through the organization broadening their talents from the specific job in which they started to general abilities. Supervisors often find time only to keep up with the steady requirements of their jobs, with little opportunity to extend their vision. The executive train- ing course at Harvard is designed to give selected men an opportunity for development. Carrel to Medical Conference Dr. R. C. Carrell left for New York this week to attend the first general medical staff meeting to be held in the jersey Standard organization. Medical directors from domestic units and from all for- eign subsidiaries, including two in Europe and pos- sibly one in the East Indies, will attend the sessions March 3 15 to 22 at the ' Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. Included in the papers to be read at the conference will be one by Dr. Carrel on industrial hospital or- ganization. An important feature of the meetings will be addresses by outstanding medical authorities in the New York area, who will lecture on their specialties. U.N.O. Cannot Out-Babel Lago Most employees know that Lago is a "melting pot", of nationalities, that its people came from every direction of the compass. Just how thoroughly a "United Nations" it is, is revealed by a recent statistical review of where employees originated, and a simple listing of their home islands or countries reads like the index of an Atlas. For long-distance records, four em- ployees claim Singapore as their home, while one came all the way from China. Europe is well-represented, with men here from Holland, Czechoslovakia, Den- Cont. on page 5 VOL. 7, No. 4 -- - (isso NE w A PUBA I ARUBA N EWS PUBLISHED AT ARUBA, N. W.I., BY THE LAGO OIL & TRANSPORT CO., LTD. The next issue of the ARUBA ESSo NEWS will be distributed Friday, April 5. All copy must reach the editor in the Personnel building by Friday noon, March 29. Telephone 523 Printed by The Curacao Courant, Curacao, N.W.I. Quoted from "Beurs & Nieuwsberichten" of Curagao, issue of February 27, on the apprentice graduation at Lago: "Anyone got a good impression of the trade school and it was clear how very important is work done here by the Lago. Important not only to the Lago itself, but for the entire Aruban community, for it is not only the Company that gathers the fruit from this work. Four years ago these boys, then averaging 14 years in age, began these courses, and now they can face the future with confidence, armed with the necessary theoretical and practical knowledge in various trades. The oil company can make good use of them, but if, unexpectedly, they should leave the Lago, they will be able to use the knowledge they gathered to good advantage everywhere". All education, whether it is elementary or advanced, has one fundamental aim-- to secure a better place in life for the person being educated. It may involve a geography lesson in the fourth grade, or a French lesson in MULO school, or learning to operate a lathe in a trade school; any learning fits the learner for a fuller and more satis- factory existence. The training given to apprentices, supplementing and building on top of the education they first receive in the community's schools, accomplishes this purpose. During their years from 14 to 18, while they develop from boys to young men, they gain knowledge that will always earn a living for them. And those that have the capabilities to ad- vance can go on from there into supervisory positions that lead to still better living. The benefit is mutual: the boys have the opportunity to better themselves, and the Company needs skilled work- men and supervisors. The early years of education are one of the most im- portant factors in potential advancement. As a tall building needs a strong foundation, so it is with a boy's progress. The more and broader was his education before he starts apprentice training, the more readily this training can build him into a bigger man who can lead others. Toeante e graduaci6n di aprendiznan di Lago nos ta less den ,,Beurs en Nieuwsberichten" di Curagao di dia 27 di February: ,,Tur hende a keda cu un bon impresi6n di e school di ofishi y tur por a mira ki important e trabao cu Lago ta haci ta.

The studies are designed to give the new men a background of in- formation about the Company and a broad interpretation of their responsibi- lities as supervisors. The first group started with an en- rollment of 20 men and will be followed March 18 by a second class. The course covers 40 hours of instruction, with the first four hours devoted to general in- formation on the organization of the Standard Oil Co., (N.J.), and the history of Aruba and of the refinery. Another six hours will be given to a study of Company policies. The remainder of the course will consist of JIT, JRT, and JMT classes. Six "C.Y.." Winners in February "C.Y.I." Awards for February totalled Fls. 100, with Henry Goodwin of T.S.D. topping the list with a Fls. 25 prize. The complete list of awards: W. Sluizer, Fls. 15.00, construct a permanent structure with sliding blocks for lifting and removing tops of pumps at the Gas Oil Transfer Pumphouse. Installing a permanent monorail for lifting and removing tops of pumps at the Gas Oit Transfer Pumphouse will make the necessary pump repairs much easier and will eliminate a safety hazard. J. H. Koster, Fls. 10.00, equip Store- house material-order-clerk with head- phone. The use of a headphone by the material-order- clerk of the Storehouse will be of convenience to him since he almost constantly has to use the phone. G. Soffar, Fls. 15.00, inject sulfur oil into the Aviation Sweetening plant by feed line pressure. Injecting sulfur oil into the Aviation Sweet- ening Plant by feed line pressure does away with the need for two small gear pumps and attendant maintenance costs. H. P. Gittens, Fls. 15.00, install a block at end of rail track at ice loading platform. As a result of this idea. standard railroad car stops were installed at the ice loading platform. eliminating a safety hazard. H. S. Goodwin, Fls. 25.00, sanitary drinking facilities for field crews. This suggestion called attention to the fact that ditty cans were being used by field cream s to drink from because of inadequate facilities and proposed the use of paper cups. Their. could not very well be used because they vsould create "house-keeping" problems. It was there- fore decided to use portable drinking fountains A. Holter, Fls. 20.00, improvements for toilet of section B, room 5, Lago Hospital. A few changes made to the toilet of room 5. section B at the hospital will provide more privacy to patients who use it.

Aruba Gains Visits Here Calypso fans in Aruba were treated to some of the finest calypso music avail- able, when Sir Lan- celot visited here in February. Sir Lan- i celot, to those who don't already know it, is one of the fore. most calypso art- ainment business. Lancelot Pinard, which is his real name, stayed at Lago Heights with H. McGibbon of the Foundry. He gave concerts in Oranjestad and in San Ni- colas at the Cinelandia theater. Lance lot's movie career has been extensive and he became famous soon after his first picture appearance. His picture work has taken most of his time in the past few years, during which time he appeared in "Happy-Go-Lucky", "I walked with a Zombie", "Ghost Ship", and "Zombies on Broadway". Before arriving here, his last stop was in Jamaica where he gave a series of concerts. It is said too, that at one time in Panama he caused the Police and Fire Brigades to go on strike, because they could not handle the crowds he drew. Sir Lancelot is now on his way to his home in Trinidad for a rest. Earle Collins, who was an operate in Utilities from '36 to '40 and some time later became a Lt. Colonel in the Army, was getting Army life out of his system last month with a cross-country jaunt by car. Starting from his home in Maine he went to Florida, across to Southern California, and was to return by the northern route, a complete circle of the country. Then he would think of re- turning to work, said Earle. DEATHS Benjamin Coran of the Electrical De- partment, on Febru.ry 22, at the age of 38. He had been an employee for nine years, and was a participant in the Thrift Plan. He is survived by his wife.

He will be in charge of all Company training activities in Venezuela. In a move designed to give greater emphasis to mechanical development and engineering research, Standard Oil Development Company has consolidated its two engineering departments. The consolidation brings into one or- ganization more than 400 scientists and other employees of the General En- gineering Department and the Process Engineering" Department which have operated independently for nearly 10 years. The new organization is named the Esso Engineering Department. Dr. N. E. Loomis, vice president in charge of engineering, said the regrouping is ex- pected to strengthen mechanical en- gineering and engineering research work, improve work supervision and in- crease efficiency. E. H. Barlow, former chief engineer of G. E. D., will be consulting engineer of the Development Company, and E.W. Luster, former head of P. E. D., will be chief engineer of the new Esso En- gineering Department. Burned in 1940 to keep its facilities and stocks from the German armies, the operation of the Port Jerome, France, refinery of Standard Francaise des Petroles, a company affiliate, was resumed February 15.

As long as there is sand to play in, and children to play in it. there will be scenes like this. This is probably California, Florida, or the Jersey shore, but it looks familiar, doesn't It?

PAY ARUBA ESSO NEWS MARCH 15 1945 L.* ~-''~ Portrait of a man on his way to works Swaying in the breeze high on 300 foot chimney is one of the harder ways to make a living, but to the veteran steeple- jacks repairing the massive concrete chimney at Power* house No. 2 it's nothing at all. These men move about on their two foot scaff* old as though they were strolling along a boulevard. Taken during the first step of the process when the chimney was be. ing cleaned and the prime coat was be- ing applied, the picture shows one of the men on his way up to work. The se- cond step began when they reached the top and started working down the stack putting on the final coat of weather- proof paint. MA Ocean Tanker Additions Expand Lake Fleet To Increase Crude Haulage Fresh from the Allied oil runs of th war years, four ocean tankers that wer built over twenty-five years ago ar joining the Lake Fleet to assist in bring ing crude over from Venezuela to th refinery. The four veteran ships, thi ELISHA WALKER, the DEAN EME RY, the BEACONHILL, and the BEA CONOIL, will add substantially to thi amount of oil that can be taken front the Venezuelan producing fields at time when worldwide petroleum needE are second only to food needs. The ships are joining the fleet on a temporary basis, at least until the ar- rival home from the war of the three Lake tankers, MISOA, BACHAQUERO, and TASAJERA, and possibly longer. Of the four additions, the DEAN EMERY was the first to finish a trip, bringing in her cargo March 7. The ELISHA WALKER followed a few days later, and the two "Beacon ships are scheduled to enter the service soon. The ocean tankers will be able to handle an average of 36,000 barrels per trip, which approximates the haulage of a large Lake tanker. All four are war veterans, with the BEACONHILL having one of the most unusual experiences, absent nearly a year on a trip to Russia. The famed convoys to Russia, in which as many as half the ships were sometimes lost, sail- ed only in the winter months the long daylight of the northern summers made the convoys too susceptible to attack. The BEACONHILL left New York for England in the spring of 1943 and there, after special preparations, joined a convoy bound for Murmansk. The pre- parations included furlined clothes for the crew, heater coils in the water tanks, and a bow filled with concrete for any necessary ice-smashing. By the time they had discharged cargo in the far north port, the days were too long to risk the trip aronud Norway, and they spent many months there, with the monotony seldom broken except for oc- casional trips to different ports in an effort to secure supplies. The crew returned late in 1943 with stories of the extreme hardships they had seen. Food was so precious that if even an orange peel was thrown from the ship, a Russian might dive into the icy water to retrieve it, at the risk of being shot if he were seen by Russian guards.

From the British Commonwealth came men from England, Canada, Scot- land, Wales, Northern Ireland, and the Union of South Africa. (To make it vell-nigh complete we still need men from New Zealand and an Australian or two). South America produced Argentinians, Venezuelans, Colombians, and Peruvi- ans, while Central America sent Pana- manians and Costa Ricans. In the United States, nearly every State in the Union is represented. Swinging south again, the list include. es Aruba, Bonaire, Curacao, Saba, St. Eustatius, St. Martin, and Suriname, not to mention St. Thomas, the Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico.

Brought In recently by Aruban fisherman, It probably contains more steaks than any fish ever lodged there. Persian Refiner Here For Study of Methods Lago's ways of doing things were the subject of study this month by K. B. Ross, assistant manager of the Abadan refinery in Iran (Persia). Abadan, La. go's consistent rival for title of "world's largest" in crude runs, is owned by the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company, of which 51 per cent is owned by the British govern- ment. Mr. Ross, who originally hailed from South Africa, spent over two weeks here investigating operating procedures and industrial relations matters. While gain- ing an insight into local conditions, he also offered information on his own operations in an impromptu talk before the F.S.E.C. meeting March 8. Abadan is located in what Mr. Ross characterized as a "mud-baked desert" 40 miles south of where the Tigris and Euprates Rivers meet (historically re- garded as the site of the Garden of Eden). Their climate, he says, is terrible. Temperatures of 125' are routine in summer; control rooms in the refinery had to be air-conditioned, and most houses have at least one air-conditioned room. Their crude comes from fields from 70 to 100 miles away, and is mixed, rather than being run separately, as Lago's various crudes are. Their oper- ations employ 1,500 Britishers and 35,000 "descendaijs of the Medes and the Persians". An interesting sidelight of his talk was the confession/ that his own Com- pany's geologists had thoroughly in- vestigated Bahrein Island in the Gulf of Persia, and that their chief geologist had personally volunteered to drink all the petroleum that miight ever be found there. Not long after that an American company discovered 14rge reserves on Bahrein, and now operates a refinery there to process it. Enrique Boye of the Plant Commissa- ry, who went to Venezuela on vacation in January, returned three weeks ago a married man. The nuptials took place in Caracas February 2. | 1 The fourth-year apprentices turned out many fine examples of work for the exhibit February 22 (see page 6) but Leoncio Sharpe of the Dry dock, shown with his exercise in complicated pipqfittlng, proved that the first-year boys may be handy with tools too. Name it and you can have it, he might have said when his friends asked him what it was. Working half days on it (the other half spent in class) it took three weeks to build.

These three pig-like animal. held by Roy de Abreu of L.O.F., averaged about 22 pounds and were shot by him some time ago along the east coast of Demerara, B. 0. They are sometimes dangerous to hunt, often sharing their holes with snakes, and hunters risk bites going after them. They are of the rodent family, come out mainly at night, and subsist on fruits and vegetables. LONG SERVICE AWARDS CRICKET Cambridge c c.

Tournament Play in Progress In Newly Formed Korfbal League Aruba now boasts a new Korfbal Bond. The Bond, which is running a round.robin tournament between the seven member teams, started play March 3. The competition will continue until June 2, with two games being played each week. After the regular schedule has been completed, an elimination round will be held to decide the best team. Bochove of Accounting presides over the organiz- ation and the seven member clubs are Victoria, Sparta, Falcon, T.O.F., Xerxes, Jong Holland, and the Trappers.

C. and the St. Vincent C. C. when Conrad, who oddly enough comes from St. Vincent but plays for Grenada, came .. ..-..: up to bat. When he had finished putting them all over the field, there were 118 more runs on the score sheet than when he started. Interesting is the fact that single- handed he scored more runs than the entire opposing team, for the final score of the match was 241 to 108 with Gre- nada winning easily. Edney Huckleman of the Dispensary, who turned in this story, says that only three other men have ever scored cen- turies in Aruba so that Conrad's feat ranks high in the annals of Aruban sport.

While proud parents and in- terested guests and supervisors looked on, the young men went through the formalities that changed them from student-employees to full-pledged pro- ductive workers. Assistant General Manager J. J. Ho- rigan acted as Master of Ceremonies and presented the diplomas. The speakers he introduced were Lt. Governor Kwartsz, Brother Canutus of Curagao (acting for Director of Education Dr. Goslinga), L. G. Smith, and W. J. Haley, a member of Lago's Board of Directors in New York. Impressed on the graduates was the fact that the diplomas did not re- present the end of their training, in fact, that it had just begun. They now have a basic knowledge that will help them as they extend their knowledge in job training courses or with their super- visors. "The best men", said Governor Kwartsz, "are those that will accept re- sponsibility when it is placed upon them." Mr. Haley reminded them that a "passing" grade in school work was acceptable, but in their work there is no such thing as "only passing" their work must be right. Juan Tromp of the previous year's class spoke to the group, pointing out the benefits derived from their studies, and Albertus Brown spoke for the grad- uates, expressing their pleasure and their intention of fulfilling the oppor- tunities their studies have given them. Following the ceremony, refreshments were served in the lobby of the club, and the guests inspected exhibitions of classwork done by all the apprentice groups and shopwork done by the grad- uating class. - 1946 Isaias Tromp ta accepts so diplo. ma y felicitael6n di Sub-Gerente General J.
