PAY


Lago employees receive full straight time pay for
holidays on which they do not work. These nine
authorized holidays include New Year's Day, Good Fri-
day, Easter Monday, Liberation Day, Ascension Day,
Whitmonday, Queen's Birthday, Christmas, and Boxing
Day. This policy is of extra importance just now, with
three paid holidays within the next ten days.
Xhen a holiday fals on a day ,ith less than eight working
houia, employees a;re tiaid for the number of hours they would
normally have worked that day. (For a holiday on a Saturday,
foi example, five houls of holiday pay are granted.)

Under some conditions holiday pay cannot be granted:
WHEN an employee is AWOL for any part of
the day immediately before or after a holiday;
WHEN an employee is on leave of absence,
is scheduled to work on the holiday but does
not report, when the holiday falls on his
scheduled day off, or when he is certified sick.
(In the latter case, if eligible, he receives sick-
ness benefits).

Vacations are extended by the number of holidays fall-
ing within a vacation period if they fall on normal
working days. Leaves of absence are not extended for
holidays.


The statements above all have to do with pay on
holidays that are not worked. Payment for time worked
on holidays depends on what the employee's regular
schedule is and how many hours he worked. Supervisors
can explain the various details in these cases.

Esso Transportation Head

Visits Lake Fleet

K. J. Balsillie, Managing Director of
the Esso Transportation Company, who
has guided Lake Fleet activities for
many years from the London office, was
an interested visitor to marine opera-
tions here for ten days last month. While
he has always kept in closest touch with
all phases of Fleet activities, it was his
first visit to the shipping operation that
plays so vital a part in Jersey's world-


K. J. Balsillie


wide business. His stay included a three-
day trip to Venezuela.
Not the least of his pleasures was the
brief opportunity to relax from the
"austerity program" that makes life in
England difficult nowadays.


Around the Plant


December 13 was the wedding date for
Neville Lee of M. & C. Administration
and his bride Anne Lam from B.G. At
Joseph Butts' home in Lago Heights a
reception was held to celebrate the
event.

Samuel Rajroop, Esso News photo-
finisher, started his 10 weeks long vaca-
tion December 13 and will spend the holi-
days at his home in B.G., after two years
of absence. Sam intends to return a
married man.

November brought pleasant news to
Raymond Simon of Storehouse in the
form of a diploma, awarded to him by
the International Correspondence School
of America, upon completion of a course
in reading structural prints.

After spending a 24-day vacation at
her former home in Georgetown, B.G.,
Jean Geerman of the M.&C. secretarial
staff came back to her job on Novem-
ber 20.

Seventeen December vacationists from
the Shipyard will be taking it easy during
the Christmas season. Thomas Baker,
Austin Primus, Cyril Williams, Samuel
Douglas, Urias Cyrus, Mathias George
and Amos Lake will travel to St. Vincent.
Robert Spanner will visit Surinam after
an eight year's absence, while visitors to
St. Martin are Cyril Brysen and Charles
Dossett, the latter after fifteen years of
absence. Angel Millan will spend his
vacation in Margarita. Mario Croes,


Acasio Vingal, Maximo Suarez and Nico-
las Newton are all on a nice rest, while
Simeon Quant will build himself a home
during his time off.

Two Storehouse men bid farewell to
bachelor life last month. Herbert Cox,
dispatcher, married Vida Simon at the
Anglican Church on November 22. The
ceremony was performed by Reverend
Jakeman and a reception followed at the
B.I.A. Hall. The couple will live in San
Nicolas.
Five days later, on November 27,
wedding bells rang for another dis-
patcher when Jan Kock married Catha-
rina Briezen at St. Theresa's Church. A
reception followed at the couple's new
home in San Nicolas.

F. W. Abrams, Jersey board chairman (center) accepts two Delft plaques from Vice Presidents
C. F. Smith (left) and R. T. Haslam, who presented the gift on behalf of the Dutch affiliate, in
appreciation of food and clothing sent by Company employees in the years immediately following

New York. Both are inscribed on the
back: "To express our gratitude for
relief in the years 1945-1946. Personnel

Making the presentation to Jersey
Vice Presidents R. T. Haslam and C. F.
Smith, who were visiting Holland, B.

sufficient but they deemed some perma-
nent form of memento necessary for this
most cordial action on the part of our
friends in the U. S. A."
In expressing the thanks of employees
on this side of the Atlantic, F. W.
Abrams, Jersey board chairman, said
"...We are proud to have them, particu-
larly as they symbolize our worldwide

Scout Groups Get Together S. A. Dines and Installs
To Meet and Fete Commissioner New Group of Officers
New Yroup of Officers


What amounted to a "Junior World
Jamboree" of Scouts took place on short
notice here December 13 to 16, during
the visit of Mr. and Mrs. Neville from
England. Mr. Neville is headquarters
commissioner of the British Boy Scout
Association, while his wife is district
commissioner of the Girl Guides. They
have been visiting B.W.I. Scout groups,
and stopped at Aruba and later Curagao
at the invitation of the Padvinders secre-
tary in Holland, whom they met at the
Scout Jamboree in Paris this summer.
He was welcomed at the airport by a
delegation of Scouts and Girl Guides. A
campfire that evening brought together
Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, and Cubs from
Oranjestad, San Nicolas, and the Lago
Colony, and many of the group camped
overnight. Sunday morning there were
Scout games, and services conducted by
Reverend Jakeman.
Monday evening the leaders of all
troops met with the Nevilles at the Soc-
iedad Bolivariana, for a discussion of
Scout problems. Mr. Neville strongly
urged greater cooperation between the
three Scouting groups in Aruba.
On Tuesday they visited troop meet-
ings of the R.C. Scouts and the Lago
Colony troop, and the following day they
left for Curagao to inspect the Padvin-
ders there.


The second annual banquet of the In-
strument Society of Aru-ba November 15
found this active organization dining at
the Flamingo Room in Oranjestad, with
50 members, wives, and guests present.
The evening provided a fitting climax for
a very full and successful year of activity
in the society.
On the program were the installation
of new officers, and a short talk by
P. Tuininga, chief instrument engineer of
the C.P.I.M. in Curaqao, who was the
guest of honor. Mr. Tuininga had met
James Faucett and Art MacNutt of the
Lago Instrument group at the I.S.A.
conference in Chicago three months ago,
and made a special trip to Aruba to
attend the banquet.
New officers installed were James
Lopez, president, Reid Holly, secretary,
and William Weber, treasurer. They took
over from retiring president A. MacNutt,
secretary J. Lopez, and treasurer W. A.
Koopman.
After the banquet the group adjourned
to the Legion dance at the Esso Club.


Below, a portion of the guests at the instrument
Society's dinner at the Flamingo Room. Left to
right in the foreground are Howard Daudet,
master of ceremonies, Arthur MacNutt, retiring
president, and P. Tulninga, a guest from C.P.I.M.

The Tears


And when the baby was born, his mother
wrapped him up in clothes and put him in the
manger, for there was no room for them in the
inns. And then the shepherds came and they
adored him and they brought only small presents,
because they were so poor. And all the time the
Big Star shone outside, guiding more people to
the stable.
A little shepherd stepped quietly forward and
put his flute down before the manger; a little girl
gave her headkerchief and a little child came very
near to the manger and gave the baby in it a
bright smile and Jesus smiled back. And then the
angels sang, sweet and pure.
But outside the snow was falling white and
still, and the night was cold. The cow shuddered
and the donkey sneezed, and the night grew
colder and colder. The baby started crying and
Mary covered him some more, but it didn't help.
Then Mary took him out of the manger and held
him close and for a while it did help, but the night
grew colder and colder and the baby cried again;
the cow shuddered and the donkey sneezed and
the shepherds sat close together to keep warm.
Then Mary kissed the tears off the baby's face
and started rubbing the little cold hands in hers,
and the tiny little feet, but the baby cried still.
And this made her so sad, that she started to
cry too, but when two beautiful tears started rol-
ling down her cheeks the Great Star made them
shine so much, that it filled the stable with light
and warmth and the baby cried no more.
Outside the snow was falling white and still,
but in the stable there was light and warmth and
Christmas cheer.


Tranen van Licht en Warmte

En toen het kind geboren was, wikkelde zijn
moeder hem in doeken en legde hem in een kribbe,
want er was geen plaats voor hen in de herberg.
En de herders kwamen en zij aanbaden hem, en
ze brachten slechts kleine geschenken, want zij
waren zeer arm. En de Grote Ster schitterde en
blonk en wees de mensen de weg naar de stal.
Een herdertje state schuchter naar voren en
legde zijn fluit voor de kribbe never; een meisje
gaf haar hoofddoek en een jongetje liep tot dicht
bij de kribbe en glimlachte lieflijk tegen het
kindje erin, en Jezus glimlachte terug. En de
Engelen zongen, zuiver en school.
Maar buiten viel de sneeuw wit en still en de
nacht was bitter koud. De koe sidderde even en
de ezel niesde en de nacht werd hoe langer hoe
kouder. Toen begon het kindje te schreien en
Maria dekte hem nogmaals toe, maar het hielp
niet. Toen nam Maria hem uit de kribbe en hield
hem dicht bij haar hart en even bleef het kindje
still; maar de nacht werd n6g kouder en het
kindje schreide weer; de koe sidderde en de ezel
niesde en de herders kropen dicht tegen elkaar
aan.
Toen kuste Maria de tranen van het gezicht van
haar kind weg en wreef zij de kleine koude
handjes in de hare, en de voetjes ook, maar het
kindje schreide steeds.
En toen werd Maria zo bedroefd, dat ook zij
begon te schreien, maar toen er twee tranen over
haar wangen rolden, deed de Grote Ster ze zo
schitteren dat de hele stal gevuld werd met licht
en warmte en het kindje zweeg en deed de oogjes
toe.
Buiten viel de sneeuw wit en still, en de nacht
was koud en donker, maar in de stal was er licht
en warmte en heerste er Kerstvreugde.

an edge in the long series, since they
won a lien when the trophy was first put
up for competition in 1945, and both
remaining meets, in May and December
of this year, have ended in draws.
In the test match December 7 and 8,
Capt. Yearwood of Shell won the toss
and sent Lago in to bat. The Lagoites
scored 104 in 23/4 hours at the wicket,
with McLean 37, Joseph 26, and Smith
15, as the only men to reach double
figures. Curagao's slow and medium-
paced bowling was effective, Barrow and
Griffith keeping perfect length and
bowling to an orthodox field. Gunthrope
got 3 for 14, Fergus 2 for 18, Griffith 2
for 38, and Barrow 2 for 24. Barrow
pulled a muscle in attempting to field a
ball driven by Joseph at deep extra
cover, which contributed to the 104
score.
Curagao then made 100 runs; double-
figure men included Taylor 29, Reid 24
not out, and Hawling 18. Walker bowled
4 for 34, and Worrell 4 for 23. Lago's
bowling was effective, and fielding
toward the end was very good; after six
wickets were down for 88, all fell for 100.
In the second inning Lago had gained
70 runs for the loss of only 3 wickets
when the rains came. Howe had 22 not
out, and Camacho 28 not out. Griffith
had 2 wickets for 18.
The trial match on December 6 saw
Lago batting 120 on a perfect wicket;
Perrotte 29, Howe 25, Johnson 14,
Bacchus 13 not out, and Brown 12 were
in the double-figure class. Slow bowlers
Barrow and Griffith reaped a harvest,
the former getting 5 for 48, and the
latter 3 for 24. C.P.I.M. had 98 runs for
5 wickets at the close of play, with
Hawling 25 not out, Griffith 17, Reid 14
not out, and Charles 13. Perrotte had
taken 2 wickets for 19, and Horsford 2
for 33.

Rotary Urges Revival
Of Safety Association
For Traffic Problem

Aruba's rising traffic accident rate,
particularly on the San Nicolas-Oranje-
stad road, was the subject of two of the
Rotary Club's meetings this month. The
increasing number of deaths and serious
injuries in auto smashups was pointed
out as a matter of serious public concern,
and the group's community service com-
mittee suggested that the club should
work through the Safety Association of
Aruba.
The Safety Association started operat-
ing unofficially in 1940 and officially on
August 11, 1941. Officers include J. H.
Beaujon, chairman, G. N. Owen, vice-
chairman, C. Phillipszoon, secretary,
M. Viana, treasurer, and Godfried Eman
and Adjutant Lens, directors. The group
was necessarily inactive in the later

years of the war, but the need for such
a public spirited body is again plain in
the accident statistics.
Immediate needs under discussion
were rigorous patrol with stricter enfor-
cement of traffic laws, rigid control
against drunken driving, the need for
white lines on the highways, stopping
traffic on entering main thoroughfares,
dimming of lights, testing of cars and
drivers, the alternative of widening the
present road or building a second one,
and others.
Rotarians expressed themselves as
being convinced that prompt action along
these lines is essential, since the amount
of traffic on all main roads is four or five
times as great as was involved only a
few years ago.

DEATHS

August R. L. van Exel, assistant
operator at the Powerhouse, died Decem-
ber 15 at the age of 39. He had been an
employee since December 15, 1938. He is
survived by three brothers and five
sisters.

A towboat with radar equipment and
ship-to-shore telephone facilities is one
of the newest additions to Standard's
fleet. A "pusher" type river towboat, the
"Esso Louisiana" pushes 12 barges of
9,000 barrels capacity, a total of 108,000
barrels of oil. Its run is 1,210 miles of
the Mississippi River from the Baton
Rou-ge refinery to Louisville, Kentucky,
at an average speed of four miles per
hour. The "Esso Louisiana" a modern
twin-screw craft, replaces a 45-year-old
sternwheeler known on the river as "Big
Mamma".

E. J. Sadler, who retired as vice presi-
dent of Standard Oil Company (New
Jersey) in 1942, died in New Orleans,
La., on October 20.
Mr. Sadler, a graduate of the United
States Naval Academy, entered the oil
business after serving in the Spanish
American War. From 1909 until 1916,
he was in charge of Standard's proper-
ties in Rumania. Rejoining the Navy in
World War I, he was later sent to Mexico
to assist in increasing oil production in
that country. He was elected a director
of Jersey Standard in 1921, president of
Creole Petroleum Corporation in 1928,
and became vice president of Jersey in
charge of production in 1930.

Appointment of John W. Brice as Co-
ordinator of Producing Activities has
been announced by the Standard Oil
Company (New Jersey). Mr. Brice suc-
ceeds L. F. McCollum, who left the
Jersey organization to accept the presi-
dency of the Continental Oil Company.
Mr. Brice served as a geologist with
the Humble Oil & Refining Company and
with Jersey affiliates in Venezuela before
moving to The Carter Oil Company
where he became Executive Vice Presi-
dent and a member of Carter's Board of
Directors. He joined Standard Oil Com-
pany (New Jersey) in June 1945 as As-
sistant Coordinator of Producing Acti-
vities.

The picture shows fellow-employees of Leslie Bryan's (who Is at left, with packages), gathered
at Powerhouse No. I to present him with a wedding gift on November 27. Starting his six weeks
long vacation. Leslie left Aruba on November 30, and was married to Miss Slurette orten In
Jamaica on December 6.


Two weddings are being recognized in the picture: Carmelito Kock (see arrow) received a gift from
employees at Lab. No. 1 November 14. and at the same time a gift for Nemencio Maduro who was
on vacation, was given to his brother to pass a!ong to him. Both gifts were wine sets. Mr. Kock
was married November 20 to Alexia Angela at St. Theresa Church. Mr. Maduro was married to
Angelica Irausquin November 13.


Previous to his departure for his home In CuraCeo,
Oscar Copra of the Blueprint Room (and of T.S.D.
for 10 years), was presented with a farewell gift,
a pen and pencil set, by his fellow-mployees o
November 29.


After six graveyard shifts, say these Lab. No. 1
employees, it's a pleasure to have fine beaches
handy. They spent a good-sized chunk of a recent
"56" this way, with a big picnic lunch, swimming,
and plenty of sleep. Left to right in back they are
A. Latham. C. Mackintosh. C. Alders. A. Thysen,
and E. Naar. Down in front: R. Canhigh and
O. Richardson. Not in the picture. C. Comansingh.
The photographer was S. Sawney.


A wedding gift in the form of a check was presented to George Quashie by his fellow-employees
in the Colony Commissary, on November 28. The following day he was married to Miss Christebel
ClaLden at the Anglican Church in San Nicolas. The picture above shows Supervisor David Grey
making the presentation.


Israel Richardson of Plant Commissary was married to Mary Hughes on November 29, the ceremony
being performed at the Methodist Church in San Nicolas. A reception followed at the bride's home
in Oranjestad. The picture shows Steven Ollivierre making a gift presentation to the bridegroom,
on behalf of his fellow-employees. The gift was a check and a 40-piece dinner set.


Eunice Stevens of Plant Retail Commissary
became Mrs. Carios de Freitas on November 21.
the wedding ceremony being performed at
St. Theresa's, after which a reception was held at
the bride's home. A pleasant surprise awaited
Mrs. de Freitas when ;he came back to work; she
was presented with a tray. an electric toaster and
a champagne cooler by her fellow-employees, with
Jose La Cruz making the presentation.

The former Miss Stevens also figures in the
picture at left. At their monthly social in Novem-
ber the Falcon Club presented her and her
husband, C. de Freitas (second from left) with a
wedding gift. A second gift was for Paullna
Maduro, second from right, in appreciation of her
work a, a dance instructor. Presentations were
nade by Jose La Cruz, president of Falcon.

An interesting display of oil paintings was exhibited at the Aruba Trading Annex building last
month by R. Lend. a Netherlands painter who has wielded his brushes in this area for a number of
years. Scenes in Curasao were the chief subjects in the group, with some scenes in Bogota and a
number of seascapes. Mr. Lend is pictured with a small portion of the exhibit.

Night Sports Bloom Under L. H. Field Lights


November 15 marked another mile-
stone in the annals of Aruba sport with
the inauguration of lights at the Lago
Heights sports field. Dozens of powerful
floodlights ring the field, with 52,500
watts turning night into day in all parts
of the huge area.
Above at the microphone is C. R. A.
Bishop, chairman of the Lago Heights
Advisory Committee, who acted as
master of ceremonies. Behind him are
Management representatives who took
part in the opening ceremonies, while
before him, entirely surrounding the
field, was one of the biggest crowds ever
gathered in Aruba. In the bottom picture,

General Manager J. J. Horigan kicks the

the goalposts.
The center picture shows the official
kickoff of the game, with Charles Loep-

Stars' goal as if they meant business.
The business, however, went the other
way: the All-Stars were winners by the
top-heavy score of 4 to 1. A strong con-
tribution to the All-Stars' victory was
the sparkling goal-keeping of Gregorio
Franken, since R.C.A. was attacking the
All-Stars' goal almost constantly in the
first half.
Sports enthusiasts were quick to take
advantage of the facilities made avail-
able by the Company for night sports. A
recent week, for example, included this
array of football contests: Tuesday, Jong
Holland vs. Catalytic-Pr. Stills; Wednes-
day and Thursday, Crown Life football
cup matches; Friday, Boy Scouts vs.
Customs Officers; Saturday, Dutch
Army vs. Noord Central Juniors.





After taking a rest for one weekend
after the recent Lago-Shell cricket
tournament, local devotees of bat and
wicket took up the Sport Park League
competition last Sunday, December 21.
The schedule was picked up with the
games of November 9, when it was sus-
pended for practise for the Crown Life
match.
