fl QL wrAf^kt:L C,AIrkadr


A special cost of living bonus of 6.70
per cent was announced recently for all
staff and regular employees. The bonus
applies to the employee's total earnings
during each pay period between August
I and October 31, 1u,. it applies to re-
gular and overtime earnings and to any
acting or temporary allowance. It will
also be used in figuring employee allot-
ments to the Thrift Plan and Vacation
Plan.
This bonus is the result of the latest
study of price changes in Aruba, cover-
ing the months of May and June. That
survey showed that the cost of living is
9 1Oths of I per cent higher than it was
on May 1, when tle last previous study
was made.
Base rates for all employees Were in-
creased by 5 per cent on last May 1,
and all employees have received a 5.75
per cent cost of living bonus since
that time. This latest change in cost of
living was discussed with representa-
tives of the E.A.C.
This bonus of 6.7n per cent supercedes
the present bonus of 5.75 per cent,
which expired on July 31. The new
bonus is similar in all respects to the

Six survivors of a capsized sailboat
(including one who died next day) were
landed at San Nicolas July 21, after
spending two weeks in a lifeboat during
which they had drifted half way across
the Caribbean.
The tanker "Edenfield", which had
sailed from here for England the night
before, picked them up early in the
morning about 60 miles northeast of
Aruba. The "Edenfield" turned around
and brought them back to Aruba, radio-

ship outside the harbor by the towboat
"Colorado Point".
One man, Powell Daniel of St. Vin-

had died the day before the rescue. The
five survivors were taken to the Lago
Hospital, where they were released on
July 31.
The group was traveling from Trini-

Jersey President Praises CYI

In a recent letter to all subsi-
diary companies, Jersey Standard
President Eugene Holman stressed
the importance of the Coin Your
Ideas Program in contributing to
the efficiency of refinery opera-
tions. Pointing out that both em-
ployee and company benefit from
such a plan, Mr. Holman said that
the CYI record over the past years
had been gratifying, but that "we
look forward to even greater pro-
gress in the future".
"My associates on the Board and
I," he declared, "have been very
favorably impressed by the report
of the Central Coin Your Ideas
Committee for the year 1947 and
the data which accompanied it,
highlighting the results of the CYI
Plan for Jersey affiliates over the
period 1940-47, and giving a com-
parison of the results obtained by
the various companies." Mr. Hol-
man added that these results re-
flected a continuing improvement
in employee participation which is
exceedingly gratifying.

Foot Injuries CAN be Prevented

Since last February, the refinery has had eight lost-time
accidents due to foot injuries (during the whole of 1947
there were only ten such lost-time injuries). At this high
rate, one out of every four refinery accidents is a foot
injury.
As in most other types of accidents, these injuries are
due to only one cause: carelessness.
Injuries can be avoided by following rules of safe practice.
To avoid foot injuries, follow these rules:
1. Keep feet out of the way when placing down materials.
2. Stack materials so they will not roll or fall over.
3. Aways get a firm grip on tools and materials.
4. Keep tools clean and in good condition.
5. Pay close attention to the job.
6. Understand clearly what is to be done.
7. Walk, do not run, up and down stairs.
8. Wear safety shoes the steel cap will protect your
toes.

Security


A significant step was taken last month when the Company increased employee
benefits by inaugurating the Retirement Plan and revising the Thrift Plan.
Every employee, regardless of his status and station today, must look forward
to and prepare for the day when he will no longer be able to work and support
himself and his family. The Thrift and the Retirement Plans are designed to
help him at that time.
Only through systematic savings can a man save enough money to take care
of himself in his old age. The Thrift Plan gives an employee the chance to lay
aside each month a small portion of his salary for the future.
The Retirement Plan gives an employee an income after his working days are
over the changes in the Thrift Plan give him more money which he may use
now, in the form of larger loans and more frequent withdrawals. With these
two plans, no Lago employee need fear poverty and want when he is too old
to earn a living. Through them, he is assured of security and a decent life in
his old age.

Un paso important den aumento di beneficionan pa empleadonan luna pasa,
tabata inauguracion di Plan di Retiro y revision di Thrift Plan. Tur empleado,
loque sea su position awe, meter prepare pa ora cu e no por traha mas pa
mantene su mes y su famia. Thrift Plan y Plan di Retiro a worde institui
pa percura p'esey.
Solamente pa medio di spaarmento sistemAtico, un hende por yoga na tin
algo pa su behez. Thrift Plan ta duna un empleado chens pe pone un suma
chikito un banda cada luna.
Plan di Retiro ta duna un empleado pension ora cu e no por traha mas. E
cambionan den Thrift Plan ta dune mas use riba su credito, fiamento mas
grand y lamtamento mas frecuente.
Cu e dos plannan aki ningun empleado di Lago no tin nodi di theme pobreza
ora cu e no por traha mas. Pe medio di nan e por sigura un behez tranquil.

French Windward Island Group
Moves into New Clubhouse

Sunday, August 1 was "occupation
day" for the French Windward Island
Welfare Association. On that day the
Association moved into its new head-
quarters behind Jackson's Church; the
building was formerly occupied by the
Chinese Club, which has built a new
clubhouse.
The ceremony included the hoisting
of the Dutch, French, and Association
flags, then the door of the building was
formally unlocked, with the group's
members and their guests going inside
to inspect the new quarters.
The clubhouse will be decorated for
the formal dedication ceremonies on
August 14. At that time the 65 mem-
bers of the Association will celebrate
the formal opening of their new head-
quarters. Virgil Emanuel, of the Instru-
ment Department, is president of the
Association.

The 16 Points


Can you find your way in the dark?
Can you find your way out of this maze
of points, from one to another without
removing your pencil from the page? The
problem is to join the 16 points in the
square with six lines without lifting the
pencil from the paper. It doesn't matter
if the lines cross each other, or if they
go beyond the lines of the square, but
you can't go back on the same lines. How
would you do it?

Penc


Pushers'


Paradise


One man whom you'll never catch without a pencil is Vic Schultz, assistant
manager of the Esso Club. His mother gave him an antique pencil in 1923 and
suggested that he start collecting them; since then he's collected so many that
he can only estimate the total number, and they range from pencils shaped like
pipe cleaners to beer bottles, from dice to revolvers some, of course, look only
like pencils.
When he started his hobby, it was Vic's intention to collect only antique
pencils. However, like most hobbyists, he began to branch out until he was
collecting all types that are of a mechanical design. Of the one or two pencils
he now has which do not repel or eject lead, one is a novelty pencil designed as
a key, about five inches long, in which the pencil must be pulled out by hand.
The most important feature of the collection is the group of antique pencils.
some of which range back to pre-Civil War days. Many of these old pencils are


hand engraved and all are of gold, or
semi-precious stones set into them and
one or two are of platinum: about 25
are sterling silver. Several of these
antiques were combined with finely
moulded quill type pens.
No definite value has been placed on
the antique collection, since it is believ-
ed to be the only large collection of old-
time pencils in existence. However, an
estimated value of the precious metals
in the antique pencils would be about
$1,400, or Fls. 2,5501.
When asked which is his favorite
pencil in the collection, Vic replies that
there are several: since the collection is
made up of several groups, it's possible
for him to have several favorites.
"In the group that contains auto-
graphs as well as the pencil with which
the autograph was signed, my favorite
is the one General Jimmy Doolitle gave
me." Vic says. "But in the 'unusual'
group, I like a solid ivory pencil in the
form of a Springfild .03 bolt action
rifle; when the bolt is released a minia-
ture bayonet is propelled.
"Of those that have some historical
significance, I like the one Douglas
'Wrong-Way' Corrigan carried in his
pocket when he made his celebrated
flight to Ireland," Vic continued.
A gold pencil which Vie purchased
from a former high ranking Mexican
government official has one of the most
interesting histories of the collection.
The ousted official was a refugee in San
Antonio, Texas at the time, and the
pencil was claimed to be the former
property of an archbiship which, along
with other Church property, was con-
fiscated by the Mexican government and
sold at public auction. The pencil is
beautifully designed and even the
mechanism is gold filled.
The smallest pencil in the collection is
about 3 4 inch long, and the largest
about 20 inches. They range from utility
pencils (pen knives, flash lights, magni-
fying glasses, pipe cleaners) to trick
pencils (jack-in-the-box, dice cup and
dice); from souvenirs bowling pins,
beer bottles, letter openers, baseball
bats) to pencils advertising various pro-
ducts (needless to say, the oil-filled one
with the Esso oval recently given to
Lago employees occupies a prominent
place in this group). And then there are
those shaped like dolls heads, watch
fobs, key holders, and practically any
other object which one would never
associate with pencils.
Vic Schultz has been collecting them
since 1923, and he can only guess how
many pencils he has altogether i he
places the number at approximately
1,201). Unlike most collectors, he's un-
able to spend long, enjoyable hours talk-
ing over his hobby with fellow collec-
tors he doesn't know of anyone else
who collects mechanical pencils.
Whether that fact is a disadvantage
to his particular hobby, or whether Vie
just figures that he has about as many
different pencils as one person can col-
lect is open to conjecture. But, at any
rate, he isn't letting his daughter Vicki
start a collection of pencils, No, he's
already started her off collecting music
boxes.

"I need a pencil. Who's got one I can borrow?"'
Anyone asking that question in the presence ot

pistol, beet bottle, watch fob. pipe cleaner, base.

pencil (although Vic's large collection does in.

Sixty-Six Apprentices,
Members of Class of'44
To Graduate August 20

Friday, August 20 will be graduation
day for 66 graduates of Lago's 1941
Apprentice Training class. The ceremo-
nies, which will be attended by top Com-
pany and Government officials and
friends and relatives of the graduates,
will be held at the Lago Club Audito-
rium at 2 p.m.
Principal speaker at the ceremony will
be O. Mingus, Lago's assistant general
manager, with J. M. Whiteley, super-
intendent of the Technical Service De-
partment, presenting the diplomas.
Those invited to the graduation in-
clude Lt. Gov. L. C. Kwartsz; Dr. W. J.
Goslinga, Curacao's Inspector of Educa-
tion; principals of local schools; and
parish priests.
An exhibition of the outstanding work
done throughout the year by the gra-
duates of the class will be on display in
the lobby of the Club.
There were 102 apprentices in this
class when it began in 1944; 36 failed to
finish either because they entered mili-
tary service or were unable to meet the
requirements of the course.

New Safety Flag Going Up
For Lago's Other Departments
Lago's "other departments" will put
their safety records on display this
month, joining the Process, Mechanical,
and Marine Departments. A fourth
safety flag, for the departments not in-
cluded under the present three large
refinery divisions, is going up alongside
the other three. The additional flag is
going up at the Main Gate, next to the
Main Building, and (with the others) at
a new location by the Lago Heights
Gate.
The "other departments" are Colony
Service, Technical Service, Industrial
Relations, Medical, Accounting, and
Executive. The number of employees in
this group is 1741. The Mechanical
group has 3530; Process 1707; and
Marine 776.

Curacao's famous pontoon bridge across St. Anna Bay was seriously damaged July a when a
tanker smashed into it. Nine of tile pontoons sank and It will be sometime before the bridge Is
repaired. Meanwhile, the people of Willemstad cross from one side of the city to the other by
means of launches. The accident occurred when the strong currents of the bay drove the tanker
toward Fort Amsterdam; trying to avoid a collision, the tanker turned its wheel sharply and ran
into the bridge.

Oranjestad is losing one of its oldest landmarks
with the wrecking of the Kazerne to make way
for a parking lot. The building, over a hundred
years old, has been the governor's dwelling, a
garrison for Dutch marine, and military police,
police station, Red Cross headquarters during the
war, and most recently a meeting place for Boy
and Girl Scouts.

11M vYes, there are snakes in Aruba. This
rattlesnake, an old grandpa with 12
rattles, was found by Pierry Croes of
the Pipe Department between Santa
Cruz and Yamanota. Before he held it
up for the camera, it was knocked out
with a whiff of ether donated especial-
ly for that purpose through the cour-
tesy of Lao No. 2.

that H. M. Nassy was no longer a mem-

Miss Williamson remains on the Esso

Mr. Nassy, although he is no longer an

Story of the Lion,
The Goat, and the Baboon

Once upon a time there was a dear old
Mother Goat who had two kids. A very
old lion was their neighbor. One day the
kids' mother went to market to buy a
bottle of honey. While she was away the
kids ran into the neighbor's garden to
play. Just then a baboon came to visit
with the lion and saw the kids playing
around. A mean old baboon he was, and
as soon as he went inside he told Mr.
Lion that kid's meat was about the best
meat there was. The lion confessed he
never knew that, but if it was as good
as that he certainly wanted to try it. The
baboon was all for catching the kids
right then and there, but the old lion
thought they'd better wait till the
mother came back and catch all three
of them.
However, the kids had very sharp
little ears and they overheard the whole
conversation, and running out to meet
their mother they told her all about it.
Mother Goat told the kids to run along
and stay in the house. She herself cross-
ed the lion's yard and the lion greeted
her from the door of his house. "You
come very late, Mrs. Goat," he said.
"Yes, and I had bad luck too," she
answered, "I waited all this time to get
some of the delicious baboon's meat they
had on the market, but when my turn
came, all the meat was finished, and all I
got is a bottle of baboon fat." And she
held up the bottle of honey. "Let me
see" the lion said, and after he saw he
said "let me try it". And he started
drinking the honey. Mother Goat said:
"Don't drink all of it, Mr. Lion. I want
some myself."
The lion kept on drinking, stopping
only to lick off his lips and smack his
tongue. He had never tasted anything as
sweet as that. "You know something,
Mrs. Goat," the lion said, "there is a
baboon under my bed just now, and if I
catch him you may have all the meat,
as long as I can get some more of this
delicious baboon fat." And the lion ran
into the bedroom and started chasing
the baboon; the baboon ran out of the
house and into the forest, and the lion
went straight after him.
The baboon was a fast runner and
soon the lion was left way behind. When
he decided to give up and go back home,
he found out that he was deep in the
forest, and couldn't find his way back.
The same thing happened to the baboon,

on each cargo loaded through each line.
Only a week before, Mr. Boros receiv-
ed a Fls. 1000 supplemental award for
his idea, the largest supplemental ever
made here. As an initial award, it
brought him Fls. 200.
Mr. Kulisek, a safety inspector in the
Safety Department, was cited for his
idea of identifying pushers in the various
M. & C. crafts. This idea brought him
Fls. 835 in the Capital, supplemental, and
initial awards. The adoption of his sug-
gestion was made to include nearly all
personnel of the refinery. Each depart-
ment was assigned a specific color to be
applied on safety helmets; foreman are
distinguished by a wide black band just
above the rim of the helmet, while
pushers use a narrower black band.
The Committee's investigation showed
that this suggestion has aided material-
ly in the promotion of safety conscious-
ness among the refinery's personnel, re-
ducing accidents by providing protection,
and decidedly aiding in the identification
of the various crafts and departments.
This is especially evident in turn-
arounds. The morale of all personnel has
been improved, an esprit de corps now
being evident.
As an initial award, this idea won
Mr. Kulisek Fls. 35; as a supplemental,
Fls. 200.
Fls. 500 was the total sum won by Miss
Ecury's award as an initial, supplemen-
tal, and Capital winner. A translator
clerk in the Publications Section of the
Industrial Relations Department, Miss
Ecury suggested that a children's page
be run in the Esso News. The Commit-
tee's investigation showed that this idea
has proved to be of greater value than
anticipated in the spheres of human
interest and morale. Not only has it be-
come a popular feature in the Esso

News, but it has achieved additional
value because of the scarcity of
children's stories.
Miss Ecury received a Fls. 75 supple-
mental award and a Fls. 25 initial.
Mr. Goodwin, a chemist I in the
Technical Service Department, realized
Fls. 300 altogether from his idea to use
sanitary drinking facilities for field
crews. As a result, Dobbins portable
water coolers were ordered and put into
use. Definite advantages resulting includ-
ed the elimination of men pushing dirty
hands, cans, etc. inside the coolers, which
was often done with the old type of
coolers used. In addition, the new coolers
are much lighter than the old ones and
are easier and safer to handle.
This idea was worth Fia. 75 as a sup-
plemental, and Fls. 25 as an initial
winner.
This was the second year that Capital
Awards were presented here under the
revised CYI plan. To qualify for a Capi-
tal Award, an idea must have been in use
for at least one year but less than two.
The awards are based on ingenuity,
degree of application, monetary saving.
and the mutual benefit resulting to both
employees and the company.
The 1946 winners were Edgar Jackson,
Frederick Dirksz, Willie Emanuels, and
Egbert Tjin-Kam-Jet.

Curagao's Phosphate Mines Are
Fully Recovered From War Years
after having practically ceased opera-
ons during the war, Curacao's phos-
/phate mining industry is now fully re-
covered, with the mines working again.
In 1947 the island shipped out almost
80,0(0I tons of phosphate of lime; before
the war, some hundred thousand tons of
the mineral were exported each year.
Curacao's valuable mineral deposit is
located on the eastern end of the island
at Table Hill, near Fuik Bay, about
three-quarters of an hour's drive from
Willemstad.
Of the almost 80,010 tons of phos-
phate exported last year, over half went
to the States: 26,000 tons were shipped
to Holland, and 110 tons went to
Colombia.

During the two weeks that the group
drifted across the Caribbean, they
sighted many vessels and passing lights
at night; however, they were never
close enough to be sighted and rescued.
It was estimated that they drifted 450
miles during their two-week ordeal in

After their release from the Hospital,
the survivors' passage to their homes
was arranged by the British Consul.

A. R. Barnwell, of the Marine Ware-
house, recently received a clipping from
a British Guiana paper telling of a
woman there who weighed over 500
pounds. She is Mabel Collymore, of
Demerara, who because of her huge size
hasn't been out of doors for over a year;
her feet can't bear the pressure of her
body.
Two years ago Miss Collymore weigh-
ed 468 pounds, and was able to walk
about. She weighs more now, but can't
determine exactly how much since she's
unable to walk to a scale. However, she
guesses that she weighs over 500
pounds.

Creole Expands in Venezuela
Creole Petroleum Corporation is em-
barking on a program to cost approxi-
mately $20,00(1,000 to bring about exten-
sive repairs and additions to its industrial
facilities in Western Venezuela. The pro-
gram has become necessary to keep pace
with Creole's expanding production of
crude oil.
Among the facilities involved in the
program are machine shops, foundries,
warehouses, and shipyards.


Jersey Buys 8 More Tankers
Negotiations for the construction of
eight additional super-tankers with a
capacity of 228.001 barrels each were
recently completed by the Standard Oil
Company (New Jersey); this brings to
14 the number of such vessels ordered by
the Company in the last six months.
The total capacity of the 14 tankers
will be 3.192.00o barrels, and their con-
struction is estimated to cost more than
$75.001.,1o0o.
The new tankers will be capable of
entering most ports which can accomo-
date T-2s with full cargo, as their draft
will be only about a foot greater.
Since the construction of its first
tanker in 1914, Jersey Standard has
become the largest private owner of
oceangoing tankers. Addition of the new
tankers will raise the total number in the
fleet to 145 ships of about 2,400,000
deadweight tons. The Company also has
82 special service a.d lake type tankers
totaling 264,000 deadweight tons.


Imperial Refinery Opens
Imperial Oil Limited's new $8,700,000
refinery at Edmonton, Alberta, official-
ly began its processing of crude oil from
Leduc field July 17 with ceremonies at-
tended by government, municipal, and
company officials. The refinery went on
stream just 17 months after Imperial
brought in the discovery well that esta-
blished Leduc as the largest known
source of crude oil in Canada.
Known as the "most travelled refinery
in the world", the plant was first located
in Corpus Christi, Texas. It was moved
during the war to Whitehorse, Yukon
Territory, and then bought by Imperial
for $1,000,000 from the U.S. War Assets
Administration and transported 1,350
miles to its present site at a final cost
of $8,700,000.
The plant will be in full production
by the end of the year and will process
6,000 barrels of Leduc crude daily. An
increase in the capacity to 11,000 bar-
rels daily at a further cost of $2,500,000
is under consideration. It will serve the
northern half of Alberta and will supply
a larger area as the capacity is
increased.
The site covers 360 acres of land and
contains a crude distillation plant which
is producing gasoline, kerosene, diesel,
and heavy fuel oils. A "cracking" unit
is under construction which will break
down heavier oils to produce a full
lange of motor gasolines as well as
tractor distillates, household heating
oils, and other products.
When completed, the refinery will
have operating tankage for 680,000 bar-
rels of crude and finished products. The
Company is laying an 18-mile pipe line
extension to join up with the Company's
existing pipe line from Leduc to the
railway loading point at Nisku, eight
miles east of the field.

Holman Named to Policy Group
Eugene Holman, president of the
Standard Oil Company (New Jersey)
har been appointed to a 25-member
Temporary Committee on National Oil
Policy which held its first meeting in
Washington on July 28. Purpose of the
group is to review and supplement
policy recommendations made by the
Petroleum Industry War Council in 1944
and 1945.
