New Records Set in
Production & Shipping

While war's end last summer reduced
the amount of aviation gasoline pro-
duced here, the crude oil throughput,
real index of the plant's capacity, has
been on the upgrade with new record
performances in March and April.
Most meaningful of the figures, be-
cause it represents sustained high
throughput, is the 10,550,330 barrels
run during the month of March, highest
monthly figure in the history of the re-
finery. This represents an average of
340,333 barrels daily (at 600).
In mid-April new daily records were
set twice in one week. The first was
372,472 net barrels, and a few days
later, in the 24 hours ending at 6 a.m.
April 14, a new record of 373,060 net
barrels was run.
Marine Department activities kept
pace with refinery production, the Lake
Fleet setting their own record in March.
A total of 10,714,635 barrels of crude
(and fuel from the Lake) was brought
in during the month, for a daily aver-
age of 345,633.

Charles F. Smith, who was training
supervisor and later personnel manag-
er here from 1938 to 1941, was trans-
ferred April 1 from his position as co-
brdinator of employee relations in the
New Jersey Works to administrative as-
sistant in the parent Company's Emplo-
yee Relations Department. In his new
work in the New York offices he will
co-ordinate overseas employee relations
activities.

Radar, which played a vital role in
the war, will be used for the first time
in exploratory operations by Standard
in geophysical surveys of its water con-
cqssions in the Bahamas Islands. In-
stalled in a ship offshore, the equip-
ment will aid in establishing fixed re-
ference points.

Roger Sherman, who for the last 13
years has directed Creole's geological
activities in Venezuela, was elected a
vice-president of that affiliate April 6.

Exceeding its quota by more than
one-third, the Petroleum Group leads
all others in the chemical-rubber-paper-

Cross campaign to raise $ 100,000,000.
The Petroleum Group, of which the
Company's Chairman F. W. Abrams is
chairman, has contributed $ 360,667.

Evidence of Aruba's important place in the Curagao
Territory was to be found in an address by Governor
Kasteel at the opening session of the Legislative Assembly
last month, when he revealed expenditures that will be made
here in the coming year.
Education will be one of the primary items in the new
budget. A total of nearly one million guilders is to be spent
on the construction of public and denominational schools in
Aruba, with new school buildings built in San Nicolas and
Oranjestad.
Ranking in importance with education is the public
health service. Over a million guilders was spent in this
connection in 1945 and an equal or even larger amount is
anticipated this year. (The Insane Asylum alone costs al-
most a quarter of a million guilders yearly to run.)
The Oranjestad harbor should see changes, as the
Governor will ask the Legislative Assembly for approval of
the expenditure of 900,000 guilders on the construction of
better harbor facilities.
The airport, too, is to be improved, with new install-
ments on the station building, and new radio equipment. A
parking place for the planes will be constructed anl lights
are to be installed at the field.
The delivery of the automatic switch apparatus for the
new telephone exchanges at Aruba will begin in September
of this year and the installation will be completed within
about four months.
Construction of houses for laborers will progress
throughout the Territory. In Aruba alone, out of 256 houses
projected, 100 have been completed and the work will con-
tinue as fast as building materials become available.
In addition to these major expenditures, money has
been granted for the scientific study of the economic poten-
tialities of the Territory. Measures are to be taken to insure
the high quality of the Aloes production that has been
maintained in Aruba so that nothing will harm the reput-
ation the product enjoys in the world market.
Before going into his remarks on the past and coming
years' budgets, he exterlded special thanks to the oil in-
dustries for their "never-failing cooperation", and stated
that unemployment in the Territory is unknown.

DEATH OF A SHIP Countless ships went to the bottom
during the war, victims of torpedo or
bomb. Occasionally, though, a ship dies a "natural death", with no more
violence than the opening of sea-cocks. Such was the S.S. "Esso Costa
Rica", which was scuttled by the Marine Department eight miles west
of the North Lighthouse April 5. Built In 1915 and recently In poor
condition, frequent costly repairs made It unwise to keep her in service.
The sinking is pictured below: first, the tug "Port Henry" ties on;
second, the last trip out of the harbor, with K. Macleod closely watching
the tow rope; third, the ship is adrift and filling rapidly; fourth,
capsizing begins with a list to port; fifth, down she goes, with flags still
flying; sixth, floating debris and a last blast of air mark the spot.

As ono reader remarked, "what isn't wrong
with It?" It Is a concentration of at least 72 of
the foolish things men sometimes do at work.
Looks silly, doesn't It? And yet every day as-
cldents are Invited In dozens of these ways. The
72 errors:
Taking apart steam line under pressure. Pipe
wrench used on steam line is backward so that
teeth will not hold against slipping. Staging
without handrail. No Safety belts on men on
stage without handrail. Staging broken. Un-
necessary tools in staging. Tools in poor
condition. Tools falling off staging. Cleat miss-
ing underneath staging. Worn out tackle. Tackle
not snubbed, but held by one man on floor
beneath staging. No Safety hats on men beneath
staging. Article being thrown up to staging. Man
standing on box and harnel on bench. Man
shouting to men on staging distracting attention
to the job. Large sign held up with role. Man
riding on crane load. One continuous sling on
crane load-subject to slip in hook. Caleless
hitching and inattention resulted in catching
man's foot in load hitch. No wood padding be-
tween load and chain sling to prevent slipping.
Hoisting crane load soer heads of other men.
No hand line on crane load. Tripping and fall-
ing on stairs due to not using hand rail or un-
able to see steps in front of packages. Man
removed safety hat while exposed to falling
material. Barrel of liquid leaking on floor.
Improper loading of truck. Truck operator not
looking where he is going. Working on electric
equipment without opening switch. Standing on
broken ladder that is too short. Tools carried
in electrician's hip pocket. Man creeping under-
neath broken ladder. Tools carelessly placed on
work bench. Broken globe on light. Lifting with
straight legs and bent back. Tools on floor by
machine. Boards with dangerous nail on floor
by machine. Shavings and other trash on floor
around machine. Machinist wearing neck tie.
Oil dripping from machine. Machines too close
together. Tools in machinist helper's pocket.
Transporting drum which is leaking grease or
oil. Workman grinding on emery wheel with
goggles on his forehead. Same workman not
paying attention to grinding. Same workman not
using tool rest on grinder. Laborers working
dangerously close to each other in excavation.
Laborer's pick loose on handle. Excavation not
properly roped off or guarded. Loose dirt from
excavation obstructing floor area. Man walking
on pipe line. Oil on floor creating slipping
hazard. Boards under foot with nails protruding
upward. Air hose across floor creating tripping
hazard. Man with pipe on shoulder not holding
pipe. Hammer and screw driver on barrel head
in poor condition. Tools out of proper place.
Upset can leaking at screw cap. Old broom left
lying carelessly about. Air hose patched, not
correctly repaired. Use of compressed air to
clean oneself. Pencil point protruding from shirt
pocket of worker. Use of chipping gun without
goggles over operator's eyes. Hot-foot stunt -
"horseplay" on foreman attempting to re-
move particle from the eye of a boy. Dangerous
first aid practice on eye. Arc welding on head
of barrel. Welder's helper has no eye protection.
Drum used by welder is leaking. Man jumping
gap between tanks. Man riding on running board
of truck. Man on bicycle carrying large parcel
under arm. No cages on tank ladders. Avoid
accident sign in shop is being ignored complete-
ly.

(Since this list of 72 hazards was made up, a
sharp-eyed reader reports finding $2 when
there need not be even one).




Those circles on the side of No. 2
Powerhouse smokestack are targets but
not for firearms. They are engineering
plumb spots used to check the vertical
alignment of the stack. Every six
months or so the chimney is checked
with surveying instruments to make
sure that it is standing absolutely up-
right and the target-like circles are the
spots that the surveyors take their
sights on.

With men of the Hydro-Alky Division grouped around him, J. C. Souder, recently transferred
head of the division, is shown here receiving a farewell gift of a pen and pencil set from A.

his new job in the Esso Engineering department at Bayway April 11.


Scenes like those above and

the Germans moved out.
While some reconstruction

Cutting the spheriod out from under himself is what Rupert Fleary of the Field Bollermakers
seems to be doing. He is burning through the plates preparatory to the dismantling of the tank.
The rig he is using is a "home grown" job developed here for just such work as this. It is made
of sections of steel beam welded together and is equipped with rollers so that it can be moved
easily around the sides of the tanks.

This strange egg was laid March 31 by a two and a half month old Rhode

she was only three days old and was fed on a combination of growing mash

tween an hour-glass and a bowling pin. Mr. Boekhoudt hopes her future
efforts will be more conventional.

Central Kitchen Established by the Community Board. By delivering ration cards for potatoes.
sugarbeets and heans, one could get 1.7.5 pints of food, (mostly beetsoup or a mixture of beets
nnd potatoes). In Rotterdam there were several central kitchens. To prevent accumulation of
people it was arranged in such a way that a family would go for food in the morning during
one week and in the afternoon during the following week. These regulations were printed on the
caid which could he bought for FIs. 1.10. The food was very bad.
Centrale l(uken- Inge-icht door gemeentehestuur. Tegen inlevering van aardappel-, suikerbeet-
en peulvruchten hon. kon men er dageluks liter eton halen, (meestal suikerbietensoep of

eten ultgeeikt. Dat was te lc7en op de kaart, die wekelijks gekocht werd voor FIs. 1.10. Het
eten was zeer slecht.


Quo Vadis? Complete sections were put under water, especially in the western part of the
country. The people who lived in those sections had to evacuate. The wagons had white flues
to inform the English and American fliers that they were not Geriman transports. On the ictuie
the salice (lock) has just been opened: a fat Boche is on guard. Evacuation did not happen
following inundation only, but also when fighting approached certain districts. The whole of
Limburg evacuated for the latter reason to North-Holland, Friesland and Groningen.
Quo Vadis? llee streken werden wonder water gezet, vooral het eesten des lands. De in die
streken wonende mensen moesten evacueren naar elders. De wagons voerden witte vlaggen om

Demanding of bicycles. The Germans were short of vehicles and so they confiscated the citizen's
bicycles. Many had to leave their bike along the highway and had to try to got home. luggage
and all. When this demanding of bicycles happened at certain points the citizens warned each
other. Children were often used for this purpose. If such a warner was caught, he could figure
at least on being sent to the concentration camp. Notice the difference between the Boches and
the Dutchman. the first ones well-nourished, the latter ones thin and pale.
letseln vordeien: Gebrek aan eigen vervoermiddelen bracht de moffen ertoe de fietsen van de
burger in beslag te nemen. Menigeen heeft langs de grote wegen zin karretae achter moeten
laten on mocht dan proberen met baggage this to komen. Gebeurde dit vorderen van fietsen op
oepaalde punten. dan waarschuwden de burgers elkaar (ale plaat). Hiervoor warden dikwijls
.lnderen gebruikt. Word een waarschuwer geanapt, dan kon hij minstens rekenen op bet con-

mager en bleek.


Kindling wood: Fuel was needed for heating and cooking. After receiving a small coal ration.
each had to find his own fuel. Results: trees were chopped, fences brought down, wooden
pavements broken up, wood was stolen from the bombed houses (see pic. 12), the paths In
the parks make of coalash were routed up and sifted; resistance poles, that were placed on open
fields and broad roads to make airlandings difficult were carried away, which caused .the rule
that nobody could be out between 6 pm 6 am. In short, everything that was combustible was
being stolen. In the houses the renters broke the closets, floors were also broken up, furniture
burned; at times complete barns would disappear.

On the road: The city people went to the country to get food from the farmers. From Rotterdam
they walked, or rode on patched-up bicycles, to Groningen and Friesland. On the way they slept
on farms (see pic. 5). Of course it was not as busy as the picture shows, but one did see
little groups go by everywhere through the snow, which was abundant this year. Results: frozen
feet and ears. Many have lost their lives on such trips out of exhaustion and misery.

Razzia: A group of Germans would surround a block and examine the houses from the roof to
the cellar. Many times they would shoot while doing this, to frighten the people, even using
machine guns at times. In the street also, people were stopped and transported to the "Great
Fatherland". Women and children had to stay in during these razzias. The picture represents a
razzia for laborers. A scene that any Dutchman may have witnessed various times.
Razzia: Een steiletje moffen zetten een block huizen af en doorzochten deze woningen van elder

The emergency stove: They were
very thrifty, firstly because you
could hardly get them on and
they really needed little fuel. They
had some disadvantages: the
whole family had to help, they
filled the room with smoke, one
person had to stand and blow or
fan regularly in the front. If the
thing finally did get to burn, it
sometimes happened that one
could get some potatoes done in
about an hour. Of course, the
morale did not rise hereby, which
is quite understandable. Everyone
was fussy and annoying. The
children invented a riddle about
this emergency stove: What is the
limit of daring' The answer is:
Asking Mother. "at what time dr

stove would not burn.

The bachelor in wartime: Not only
the bachelor but many others also
had to use the stove with a flat
pipe behind it. It was a very

Don't be alarmed. It looks deadly, like the makings for
a quick-acting poison or a plan to blow up the Bank of
England, but it is only a qompatatively simple formula for
determining what day of the week any given date might fall
on. (Simple because that is only half of it another formula
work out the value of "little n", and two or three more
steps in higher mathematics are required after the formula
above gives a preliminary answer.) At least lone man in Aruba
can tell you by this formula whether you wer(e born on a
Wednesday or Saturday, but probably no one else within a
thousand miles could.

invented by Johan Lampe of
Oranjestad, and taken over
by Casey Eman, former La-
goite. By setting all the dials
to any date (day, month,
year, and don't forget the
century), and then adding
up the small figures on each
dial, this total can be put
into the dial at uper left and
gives the day of the week.
As set in the picture, for
instance, the calendar shows
that Liberation Day in 1992
(May 5) will fall on a Sun-
day. (The calendar also reve-
als that 1992 is a Leap
Year.)
On one side of the eight-
inch high machine are the
settings for the old-style ca-
lendar (before 1753) and on
the other side are those for
the one now in use.
This first trial model, prepared to
show to potential manufacturers in the
United States, is a combination of bent
cookie shet, welding rods, condenser tu-
bing, bits of clock spring, and 18 brass
knobs controlling eight wheels, in all 160
parts, plus 100 sparetime hours of labor,
skill, and ingenuity on the part of Phil
Post of T.S.D., who made it in his back-
yard shop.

The calendar, which you may some
day be able to buy at the nearest jewelry
or novelty store, will handle dates no
further back than 45 B.C., which was the
year the Julian calendar was adopted,
and no further forward than 21,000 A.D.
By that time the present type of calen-
dar will be so far out of step with the
seasons that calendars will have to be
corrected, and this gadget will no longer
serve. Until 21,000 A.D., however, should
be perpetual enough for anyone.

background of ships, which have been his "life
work".
old. One of his first trips as a budding
young seaman was on a three-masted
schooner carrying railroad ties from
Savannah, Georgia, to New York. In
1915 Juan joined an American steamer,
the Guamo which was trading between
New York and Porto Rico.
After a short time ashore in 1916
working in a drydock and going to
school, he joined a Standard Oil ship,
the Standard, which took him to Mexi-
co, where he says they loaded by lifting
a hose out of the sea and pumping the
oil into the ship.
In 1920 Juan found himself ashore
again and in navigation school at that.
After six months he was the proud
possessor of a Third Mate's certificate.
With this under his belt he joined the
Grace Line until 1924 when he came
home to Bonaire for a visit.
In January, 1925, he went to Curaqao


passing out certificates.


DEATHS


A recent death was that of Patrick
McMorris, who had worked in the New
York offices of S. O. Co. (N.J.) for 17
years. Mr. McMorris, who was a brother
of Joseph Morris of the Storehouse,
went to the United States from St.
Vincent when he was 15, and completed
his education in New York schools. He
was prominent in cricket circles there
and in various Harlem community
Affairs.


to find a job and met a Curagao pilot
who told him that there was a job for
him in Aruba. Juan came to Aruba and
became the Third Mate of the Bacooi
and "traded between Maracaibo and
Aruba", as he puts it. He then became
Third Mate on the Palmer and after a
short time was assigned to shore duty
where he worked under Ralph Watson
splicing wires used to discharge the
steel plates which went to build the oil
tanks. These tanks were the first in
San Nicolas.
Back at sea after his wire work was
finished, Juan was made Second Mate
of the Invercorrie and later of the In-
verrosa.
After another stint on shore working
for Captain Rodger building a separ-
ator in 1926, he went to work on the
pile driver in the channel. It was there
that an accident cost him his hand.
Three months in the hospital and he
was back on the job, 'building a house
where No. 1 Laboratory now stands.
Juan was a witness to the docking of
the first ship to tie up to the newly
completed main dock in November,
Since then all of Juan's service with the
Company has been in Marine Wharves,
where he started in December, 1927.

Employee representatives of the Standard Amerikaansche Petroleum Compagnie N. V. at The
H3gue, Netherlands, sort the last of 74 cases of relief clothing donated by employees of the
Standard Oil Company (New Jersey) and its American affiliates. On August 14, 194s, Eugene
Holman, Jersey president, asked employees of American companies to contribute usable clothing
to 24.000 needy men, women and children of employee families in war-torn Europe. The company
drive culminated in an avalanche of 36,000 pounds of clothing which was collected at the
Eagle Oil Refinery at Jersey City, N. J. From there it was shipped to France, Holland, Belgium,
Norway, and Finland. Donations of hundreds of suits, dresses, blankets, overcoats, underwear,
shoes, and shirts, part of which is shown above, helped greatly to alleviate the shortage suf-
fered by destitute foreign company personnel who, since they were not displaced persons, were
not eligible for UNRRA clothing contributions.

Army Drops Two to San Lucas

Baseball was again in the air on the
weekend of April 6 and 7 when a Por-
to Rican Army team stopped off here
for a three game series with some of
our teams.
On Saturday the sixth San Lucas
walloped the soldiers 10 to 1 but on the
following morning the Army boys came
back to take a close one from a team
of Lago employees from Venezuela to
the tune of 5 to 4. Sunday afternoon,
San Lucas, not content with having won
the first game, beat the visitors again
11 to 6.

Pitching excellent ball in the two San
Lucas games was A. Bryson of Instru-
ment. He allowed only two hits in the
first game and then only in the seventh
inning. San Lucas was able to win the
second one due to his fine relief hurling.
He came in in the seventh inning with
the score tied and held his opponents
scoreless while his team-mates scored
the five winning runs. L. Cooper, T.
Nadal and the three Bryson boys were
prominent willow-wielders in the cont-
ests.

Personnel Department employees had
a letter recently from Albert Baker,
former member of the department, ex-
pressing his thanks for a check of over
Fls. 400 which was collected to help him
with medical expenses in Curacao. He is
now a patient at St. Elizabeth Hospital
there, and giving his mailing address as
N.N. no. 124, c'o Mr. L. Peters, Curaqao,
invites letters from friends.

Rechad Rohoman

ter, March 3.

appearance his best in Aruba, scoring 51
runs to lead the Eagle team and also
break his own record. After the match
he was presented with an engraved pen
and pencil set and alette of appreciation
by the Eagle C. C.


Local Fighter May Visit Lake

Kid Long Gun, Joseph Wilson of the
Drydock, may soon be fighting in Mar-
acaibo. Kid Charol's manager has asked
the local pugilist to fight for him in
Venezuela in the
middle of May
and Long Gun
hopes to be able
to go over to the
mainland and
give a good ac-
count of himself. 4
Long Gun has
been fighting
for about two k7 e.
years and in his
most recent .
clashes has come
Aoseph W1i3on
out very much
on top. Out of his last five fights he
has won four and drawn one, and of
the four wins three were knockouts.
Those who have seen him work in the
ring say that he is an up-and coming
fighter.
