Stevedores Presented Plaque
For Past Year's Safety Record
In a short meeting at the M. & C.
office May 12, the Company's steved',r-
ing division was awarded the first place
plaque in the National Safety Council's
yearly contest for safe ship and cargo
handling.
This year Lago's wharfingers (of the
Receiving and Shipping Department)
and the stevedores (of M. & C.'s Labor
Department) together compiled a prize
winning record of only four lost time
accidents for the contest year which
ran from July 1946 to June 1947. In the
past ten years the Company's stevedores
have taken first place in the contest
nine times; and the one time they mis-
sed it they came out in second place,
which is not so bad either.
The plaque was received from G. N.
Owen, Safety Supervisor, by H. C. Chip-
pendale, M. & C. head and F. E. Griffin,
Process Superintendent, for the steve-
dores and wharfingers, respectively.

Dutch Soldiers Guests of Colony
Through the combined efforts of the
Lago Community Council and the
American Legion, the new detachment
of Dutch soldiers recently arrived in
Aruba was entertained at a hamburger-
fry at the American Legion Home on
the evening of May 12.
The new garrison arrived from Hol-
land about six weeks ago and relieved
the local soldiers. Some of the men had
known each other before coming he'e
but most were strangers to one another.
The party at the Legion Home was the
first time the men had been out of
Savaneta Camp for any entertainment
of this kind.
That the party was a success was in-
dicated by the fact that the half-dozen
truckloads of soldiers left at the end
of the affair serenading their hosts
with their favorite songs.


Edgar Jacks atof the Catalytic Department receive from Process Suerlntendcnt F. Griffin
a check for Fl.. 250 which can. a a supplemental award last month for a C.Y.h submitted
In 1944. HIs Initial award was for Fl. 250 also.


Graduate 32 Apprentices May 2

Apprentices Hear Talks by
SHessling, Fr. Rudolfus, Mingus
While proud parents and interested guests and super-
visors locked on, 32 apprentices of the Class of 1943 received
their diplomas at graduation ceremonies at the Lago Club
May 2.
The ceremonies marked the end for these boys of the
Company's four-year Apprentice Training Program and
made the boys full-fledged productive employees of the
Company. Acting Assistant General Manager J. M. Whiteley
was Master of Ceremonies and presented the diplomas. The
speakers on the occasion were H. A. Hessling (speaking for
Lt.Governor Kwartsz), Brother Rudolfus (acting Inspector
of Education), Acting General Manager O. Mingus, and
M. A. Cooper speaking for the graduates.
In his speech to the gathering, Mr. Hessling stressed the
ever. point that though they had finished the training which they
Ka*o. had started as boys they were now really beginning their
lives as a part of this large oil company which shows so
much interest in Aruba's youth. He further stated that the


young men might

C.O.L. Bonus To S. and R. Emps.

not find that everything would come
easily with them at first. "Keep on
bravely," he said, "for he who wishes to
succeed must persevere." He said that
all of them should consider themselves
as valuable members to the organiza-
tion and to prove to the Company that
they are loyal to her as she is to them.
Brother Rudolfus cautioned the boys
against thinking that they knew every-
thing already. "...... you, will soon find
out that you have to learn a great deal
still," he declared. Brother Rudolfus
urged the young men to be careful with
their money, spend it wisely, and to put
aside a part of their wages each week
in order to have something to use when
they have a real need.
In closing he gravely warned the
boys against liquor, a habit he said,
"which undermines the prosperity and
moral strength of this people." "......
liquor is your worst enemy. If addicted
to liquor, you are lost, morally and
economically."
Mr. Mingus congratulated the boys on
their success and pointed out to them
that they now possessed mental tools
(knowledge) which will last a lifetime,
and with experience these tools will be
of great benefit to themselves as well as
the Company. He said that we remember
with pride Lago's achievements during
the war years, but that now the refinery
is processing more crude oil than ever
before in its history including the
war years.
Mr. Mingus mentioned the large sums
of money to be spent for improvements,
and said that there would be a need for
trained, competent and efficient work-
men and supervisors. He said that the
increasing use of petroleum in Latin
America would make Aruba's position
in the future just as strong as ever, as
it (Latin America) is a natural outlet
for our production. He closed with the
remarks that, "...... by the unremitting
help of every employee from the presi-
dent to the newest apprentice, 'there'll
always be a Lago'."
M. A. Cooper made a short talk in
behalf of the apprentices and thanked
the Company for the training they had
had and promised for his class that they
would do their best to become good
employees. He also mentioned the boys
were grateful to their instructors for
their patience with them.
After the graduation exercises were

ates enjoyed refreshments while looking

time) during the period from February
1 to May 1, for staff and regular
employees.
This bonus was the result of cost-of-
living surveys carried on by manage-
ment assisted by the E.A.C.
This is the second of such bonuses, a
previous one having been granted in
February, 1947 in the amount of 2.7 per
cent of the previous three months
earnings.

A Look Ahead.

Helping to supply the petroleum needs of the world for
some time to come will be Aruba's job, according to a
speech made at the recent apprentice graduation ceremony
by O. Mingus, acting general manager.
Recent developments seem to confirm Mr. Mingus'
remarks, in that the refinery is now processing more crude
oil than ever before more even than during the tense war
years when Lago was one of the main suppliers of military
fuels to the Allies.
The Lake Fleet too has recently made several additions
in order to keep the crude brought in on a par with the oil
produced; and the Company's training program is con-
stantly growing in order to provide more competent and
trained employees.
Evidence of long range planning for bigger and better
things comes from Oranjestad where millions of guilders
are being spent for vast improvements to the harbor and
surrounding area, where new government buildings have
recently been completed, where new stores, restaurants and
theaters are springing up.
It is a comforting thought to see all these plans and
activities in progress and feel that, contrary to some beliefs,
Aruba can look forward to many more years of prosperity.

Unfortunate Accident
Befalls Lago Electrician

While an electrical gang was prepar-
ing to test a switch starter in the
switchroom at No. 11 Gas Oil Still in
the Refinery on May 9, Lucene Anasta-
cia, a member of the Electrical Depart-
ment received a high voltage shock
which resulted in his death. Artificial
respiration was started immediately
after the accident and continued after
the arrival of the doctor who came at
once, and also during transportation by
ambulance to the hospital. All efforts
of resuscitation were unsuccessful.
The still was out of operation for
general inspection including necessary
work in the switchroom. The electric
current was shut off from the switch-
room. Mr. Anastacia was cleaning one
of the large knife-type disconnects when
a 220 volt of current was connected to
the starter switch from an outside
source for test purposes. Through an
accidental connection, the test current
backed up through the transformer to
where Mr. Anastacia was working.
The deceased was from Curagao and
became an employee of Lago after his

Warship Returns Hero
'To Home in Aruba
As the warship Van Speyck nosed up
to the dock in Oranjestad April 28, a
quiet and respectful crowd awaited with
pride and sadness the return to his
home of Aruba's war hero, Segundo
"Boy" Ecury, son of Mr. and Mrs. S. N.
Ecury of Oranjestad and brother of
Nydia, Hubert and Reuben of Lago.
The ship was met by menmers of his
family and officials and "Boy's" body
was borne in procession to St. Francis
Church where mass was sung, and then
to the cemetery where it was laid to
rest with eulogies by Governor P. Kas-
teel and those who knew him well.
"Boy" was born in Aruba on April
23, 1922 and grew up here making
many friends. As he reached young
manhood the recent war in Europe
broke out. He immediately entered his
country's service, joining the Dutch
underground movement in Holland. He
served faithfully and courageously,
constantly risking his life to liberate
prisoners, aid shot down pilots, and help
the oppressed to escape. Boy was even-
tually taken, and fell in his county's ser-
vice before a German firing squad in
Scheveningen, Holland in November,
1944.
His faithful service and the brave
sacrifice of his life came to the atten-
tion of Her Royal Majesty Queen Wil-
helmina, and in a letter to the hero's
family she expressed her sympathy.
"......when he together with some other
underground fighters, was arrested at
Rotterdam, he knew what fate was
awaiting him. Quietly and with full sur-
render to God's will he gave his life for
our freedom before the German firing
squad in the dunes at Scheveningen.
I hereby convey my sincere sympathy
to you and your children with this
grievous loss.
'He was a great son of those who
lived and fought under the Netherlands
tricolor.
I shall continue to remember his
deeds with pride" (signed) Wilhelmina.

S.O.D. President Urges Aid

In a recent talk to the Research Com-
mittee of the New England Council, R. P.
Russell, president of the Standard Oil
Development Co., stated that the in-
dustrial and agricultural skills of the
United States should be extended to
nations friendly to the U.S., particularly
those in the Western Hemisphere.
"These countries are eager for a way
of living which they cannot now provide
through their own skills", he said. If the
U.S. does not come to their aid, they will
turn to inferior substitutes which may in
the long run prove to be unfavorable to
us. Though in the next several years the
U.S. will have far fewer trained technical
men than it needs, Mr. Russell said that
our technical manpower must be stretch-
ed to the utmost until our instructions
can provide us with the well-trained men
and women that are needed.
"Not only must we endeavor with de-
pleted staffs to meet our own pressing
problems, but, in my opinion, a way must
somehow be found to take care of at
least some of the requirements of neigh-
boring countries", Mr. Russell declared.



Increase Capacity of Lake Fleet
By Addition of Ocean Tankers

In order to bring the crude oil haul-
age capacity up to meet the increasing
production in the Lake, two more
ocean tankers, the Paul H. Harwood
and the Dixiano were added to the Lake
Fleet May 2.
The Paul H. Harwood has long been
a familiar ship to Aruba, as it has been
in the Caribbean service for some time
and has been making frequent stops at
Aruba. She is an ocean tanker of al-
most 7,000 tons and it is expected that
she will be able to carry about 37,000
barrels of crude to Aruba per trip.
The Dixiano has been, up to this time,
carrying wheat and sulphur, though she
has carried oil. Her tonnage is a little
over 4,000 and she will be carrying be-
tween 21 and 28,000 barrels of cargo in
the Lake run.
Later in May, the Esso Bayway was
to join the Lake service with an even
greater carrying capacity than the pre-
viously named ships. She is expected to
be able to haul in the neighborhood of
42,000 barrels per trip, which is more
than any ship now in the Lake service.

was so good on both sides that up to
the final whistle either side could have

prised. The Lago forward line played a
beautiful game, displaying teamwork of

The Charming Miss Cockroach

One day Miss Cockroach was sweep-
ing her room and she found a penny. As
she bent down to pick it up, the dust
flew into her eyes. She hardly noticed it;
she was so happy with her penny and
wondered what to buy with it. At last
she decided on a piece of ribbon for her
hair. After she put it on she sat down by
the open window. She looked very
pretty.
Mr. Bull went by and fell in love with
her right away and he said: "Miss Cock-
roach, will you marry me?" As the dust
was still in her eyes, Miss Cockroach
couldn't see how handsome the bull was
and she said: "What sound do you
make?" The bull said: "Mooo, mooo!"
Miss Cockroach cried: "Ooh, I'm afraid
of you. I won't marry you."
Then Mr. Donkey went by and he also
fell in love with her and asked her to
marry him. "What sound do you make ?"
said Miss Cockroach. The donkey said:
"Hee, haw; hee, haw!" Miss Cockroach
said: "You frightened me. I won't marry
you."
Mr. Goat went by next, and Mr. Dog
and Mr. Cat and even Mr. Pig, but Miss
Cockroach was afraid of all of them.
Finally there came a little mouse and he
said: "M-miss Cockroach, will you
m-m-marry me, p-please ?" "What sound
do you make'" she asked, but the mouse
was so shy, that he couldn't make any
sound at all and then Miss Cockroach
decided to marry him and they lived
happily for some time.
One day when Miss Cockroach was
going to the market she said to her hus-
band: "Mousy dear, there is a pot on the
stove. Stay away from it." The mouse
was very curious and when his wife was
gone he climbed on the pot to see what
was cooking, but he slipped and then he
was cooked, in syrup.
Miss Cockroach cried very much, so
much that she grew whiskers, and
that's why roaches have long whiskers.
