CYI Pays out FIs. 1900; Public Relations Dept./
Barrcs' FIs 700 Tops List Is Established Here


Aurelio Barros, of the Gas and Poly
Department, headed the June list of
Coin Your Ideas winners with a Fls. 700
supplemental award. His idea, to dis-
continue the use of HOS & S plant
stablizer bottoms coolers, had previous-
ly brought him FIs. 1000 as an initial
and Capital winner. The suggestion has
thus paid him a total of FIs. 1700.
Next on the list of the 38 June win-
ners was Carlos Pellegrim, whose idea
to install a bypass line from suction to
discharge of No. 4 tar pump at the
No. 7 C.U. paid him a Fls. 300 initial
award.
One other supplemental award was
made, Fls. 50, to George Fernandes for
his suggestion to install an airline to
the IBM machine room.
The other winners, all of which are
initial awards:
Lucas Hernandez, Fls. 40, install
temporary whistle at new housing site.
Juan Tromp, Fls. 40, install fire
extinguisher in PCAR elevator.
John Wengert, Fls. 35, anchor chain
safety bar for dry docking.
Guy Garrett, Fls. 30, design for rack
for safety helmets.
Edwin McGrew, Fls. 30, weld perma-
nent oil tank to air compressors.
Rudolpho Arends, Fls. 30, fire escape
at Marine Office annex.
Eugene Lo, Fls. 30, inject caustic in
feed after vapor heat exchangers at
No. 4 Rerun Still.
Esmond Campbell, Flz. 30, install
chain valves on exchangers bypasses at
No. 10 Crude btll, and FIs. 20, extend
existing platform at No. 10 Crude Still.
Camille Emmanuel, Fls. 30, remove
radiator guard and hinge to facilitate
radiator removal at Model 75 Hyster
Units.
Miss Maude Thomas, Fls. 30, install
stair rail on building side of stairs in
new school.
Marchant Davidson, Fls. 25, hard
faced seat rings and pistons at Nos. 1
and 2 Powerhouses feed water valves.
Arthur Maccow, Fls. 25, install time
card rack at Receiving & Shipping office
and pumphouse.
Anton Federle, Fls. 25, install improv-
ed type of bench at Cracking Plant

Carlos Pellegrim, levelman on No. 7 Com-
bination Unit, won a Fls. 300 initial C.Y.I.
award with his suggestion to install a
bypass line from suction to discharge of
No. 4 tar pump. The lower sidestream from
No. 7 Combination Unit was previously
degraded from virgin gas oil to fuel diluent
whenever it was necessary to use the tar
pump for pumping tar bottoms. Now, with
the sidestream going through the bypass
line (overhead), the pump (on the floor at
left) is always available. This saves 150
barrels of virgin gas oil each week.


B. Teagle To Head New Group
Establishment of a Public Relations
Department was announced late last
month, with B. Teagle being appointed
director of Public Relations for the
Lago Oil and Transport Co., Ltd.
Establishment of the new depart-
ment is in line with the Company's de-
sire to expand its public relations ac-
tivities and to promote mutual under-
standing between Lago and the com-
munity in which it lives. In the past
this work has been done in the In-
dustrial Relations
Department, but
gradual expan-
sion in this field
has made it de-
sirable to set up
the new depart-
ment with in-
creased facilities
for performing
this specific
function.
As a part of the
recent change,
the Publications
Division is trans-
ferred from In- B. Teagle
dustrial Rela-
tions into the Public Relations Depart-
ment.
Mr. Teagle, Industrial Relations man-
ager here since 1944, recently returned
from a trip to the United States, where
he surveyed the public relations pro-
grams of domestic Jersey affiliates and
other leading U.S. companies.
He brings with him to his new posi-
tion a broad experience in Company
operations. Following his graduation in
1923 from Dartmouth College, where he
received a Bachelor of Science degree in
economics, he went to work at the Bay-
way refinery as a carpenter's helper.
For the next two and a half years he
worked there in several mechanical
trades and in various divisions of the
operating department.

CASH PRIZES


AUGUST 26, 1949


- For Writing One Line


(New Limerick Contest Pays 5-3-2 Every Issue

Money doesn't grow on trees, but if it did you'd still have to reach up to pull
some down off a branch. It's much easier and far less trouble, if you want
money, to write just one line in the limerick contest.
Easy money can be yours by entering the new safety limerick contest and
finishing the limerick below. The best finishing line sent in will win Fls. 5
for the person submitting it; Fls. 3 will go to the second best, and FIs. 2 to
the third place winner.
Beginning in this issue, the Aruba Esso News will carry a safety limerick
for which three cash prizes will be awarded each time. Just write a finishing
line and send it to the Esso News by next Saturday, September 3; with your
entry include your name, payroll number, and department. Winners will be
selected by a committee composed of personnel from the Safety Division and
the Esso News staff, and their names will be listed in the following issue of
the News.
All you have to do is finish the limerick. Here's the incomplete verse:

There was a young man named Mert,
Who when it was cool was alert.
But when it got hot,
Alert he was not,


Make your last line rhyme with "alert" and send it in. A sample ending
would be "So he was hit by a truck and got hurt".
It's as simple as picking money up off the ground. Just write a last line and
send it to the Aruba Esso News with your name, payroll number, and depart-
ment. Remember to get it in by Saturday, September 3.
And also remember Safety Pays.

It's in your beauty cream, it gives roaring power to the
latest jet fighter planes, it turns the wheels of industry -
but mostly it is just busy taking ordinary citizens from here
to there.
Probably nothing in all history, says a recent oil journal,
has contributed more than petroleum to the mobility of
man to his ability to "get around.". Outside of donkey-
back, rowboat, or walking, he can hardly move, whether a
mile to work or on a thousand-mile trip, without petroleum
helping to move him.
At the same time petroleum is helping him to move faster
and faster. In 1899 the Scientific American reported By
sacrificing everything to power, it is possible to build an
automobile that will cover a straight-away mile at the rate
of 60 miles an hour, and this speed has been attained more
than once".
The fastest automobile speed for a mile now is 403 miles
an hour, a speed that would take you from San Nicolas to
Oranjestad in slightly over two minutes; or from San Ni-
colas to the Hospital in a few seconds.
But speed is a disease. More and more drivers are for-
getting that petroleum's best use is simply to move them
from one spot to another. High speed can take you from
here to Eternity in the flickering of an eye, and the few
minutes gained really aren't much use after all.

Aruba Forms Committee To

Aid Earthquake Victims

A committee for the purpose of
organizing relief measures for the vic-
tims of the Ecuador earthquake was
recently formed here. By means of
various drives and public performances,
the group, known as the Aruba Com-
mittee for Victims of Ecuador, will col-
lect funds to be used for relief purposes.
The Ecuadoran earthquake, occurring
August 5, took several thousand lives
and destroyed countless villages and
towns.
Initial steps toward the organization
of relief measures were taken at a meet-
ing early this month, when various sub-
committees were named to take charge
of specific fund-raising activities.
Among the projects planned are lotte-
ries in San Nicolas and Oranjestad,
charity shows in the island's motion
picture theaters, soccer games, public
dances, sale of flowers, and a bazaar.
In addition, sub-committees were named
to solicit funds from specific groups
and organizations on the island.
On August 17 the Committee sent the
following cablegram to the president of
the Republic of Ecuador: "Aruba
shares the profound sorrow of the Ame-
rican continent in the disaster that oc-
curred to Ecuador and is now making
plans to send you help in the shortest
possible time."
Acting Lt. Gov. H. A. Hessling was
named honorary chairman of the Aruba
Committee, and Venezuelan Consul Ra-
mon H. Madrid is chairman. Other
members of the group are Jorge G. de
Castro, assistant chairman; Mrs. Ina
Beaujon, secretary; Miss Eleonora de
Castro, assistant secretary; R. van
Hoorn, treasurer; Milo Croes, assistant
treasurer; H. Reid Bird, director; Rev.
J. Standenmeijer O.P., second director;
and Frank L. Maduro, third director.

World News Briefs

Man's farthest penetration of the
ocean depths occurred this month when
Otis Barton went down in a five-foot
steel ball 4,500 feet below the surface
of the Pacific. This was 1,472 feet
farther than the record of 3,028 feet
set by Dr. William Beebe and Mr. Bar-
ton in Bermuda in 1934.
Suspended in his 7,000-pound "bentho-
scope" by a steel cable attached to a
winch on a barge, the 48-year old Bar-
ton started into the ocean at noon and
reached the record depth an hour later.
Barton said that the dive was a
successful demonstration of the feasibi-
lity of a device designed to withstand
the tremendous pressure of extreme
depth. At 4,500 feet the benthoscope
was subject to a pressure of about 2,000
pounds a square inch as contrasted with
the normal air pressure at sea level of
15 pounds.

Forty-nine persons were saved in a
tense air-sea rescue last week after a
transport plane en route from Rome to
the United States ran out of gas and
landed in the Atlantic 15 miles off the
Irish coast. Nine others of the 58
aboard were killed or lost trying to
escape from the four-engined C-54. The
plane carried 47 Italian emigres going
to settle in Venezuela, and 11 Ameri-
cans, all airways personnel.
The rescue was organized quickly by
ground personnel at Shannon, Ireland
when the plane failed to land there for
refueling. The British trawler Stalberg
and the Irish freighter Lanahrone were
directed to the floating survivors.
The plane got lost when atmospheric
conditions blacked out radio communi-
cations and crippled its navigation
equipment.

In the States General Omar N. Brad-
ley was named chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff, becoming the ranking
U.S. military officer on active duty.
General J. Lawton Collins succeeded
him as Army Chief of Staff.

Two floors of the Waldorf-Astoria
Hotel in New York were transferred
this month into a mammoth, and
tremendously expensive, jewelry mart.
On the occasion of a convention of re-
tail jewelers, over $35,000,000 worth of
jewel: was put on display. Items rang-
ed from a $12,000 pocketbook of cultur-
ed pearls to a little gold cigarette
lighter for $5,000.

The chimes of Big Ben didn't sound
one night this month as usual for the
evening BBC broadcast. An announcer
explained apologetically that the great
clock in the tower of Parliament was
four and a half minutes slow. He said
that numerous starlings perched on the
minute hand were responsible. Some
starlings, part of an invading hor-de of
untold thousands from the north, also
got into the works. Workmen had re-
moved them and finally got ihe big
clock running properly.
German bombs failed to stop the
chimes of Big Ben during the uar. They
di(, however, squeak instead of chime
on time in the bitter winter of 1947
because of ice formations.

AUGUST 26, 1949 ARUBA ESSO NEWS a


The Treasure of-



San Nicolas Harbor


Blaekbeard was a piker in this business of buried treasure. Over
1200 tons of structural steel piles are being driven in San Nicolas
Harbor to depths of 100 feet. The No. 1 (East) Finger Pier, with
40 per cent of its 3000 tons of steel buried under water, represents
13 months of labor involving 170 skilled workmen at a cost of


several million dollars.

The most valuable treasure in the
world is not anchored down any better
than the new East Finger Pier being
built for Lago by the Netherlands Har-
bor Works Co., Ltd.
The longest supporting pile extends
downward through 35 feet of sea water
and then bites deep into silty sand,
coral sand, finger coral, and hard coral
to a depth of 120 feet. And there are
81 of these piles in all, each driven just
as firmly.
Offhand it would seem that the pier
is built to stay put. The longest pile,
for instance, weighs 12 tons and needed
about 500 blows from a ten ton hammer
to Le driven into place. But the contrac-
tor and Lago engineers are spending
much time pushing and pulling at each
pile to be sure that it is secure. (Some
of the facts discovered upset a few of
the usual results in testing firmness of
piles.)
In fact, the entire East Finger Pier
project changed several staid beliefs
about pier construction. When finished
it will be one of the largest all-welded
steel oil-handling piers in the world.
Until recent years the customary
method of building a steel pier or bridge
was by riveting...... so the battery of
welding generators and the crew of
skilled welders used on the job are
enough to make any pier engineer do a
double-take.
The total size of the pier is also a
record-breaker. It will be 790 feet from
tip to shore abutment...... about 60
feet less than the height of the R.C.A.
Building in Rockefeller Center, New
York. It will berth two ocean tankers
or alternately four lake tankers and will
replace the old "T" pier which is now
over 20 years old.
Ships will breast and moor on both
sides of the finger pier. The first ship
to dock when the pier is completed may
be a lake tanker, a T-2 ocean-going
tanker, or one of the new 628 foot long,
26,000 ton tankers.
Like a belle in a hoop skirt, the pier
has underpinnings that are hard to see.
The piles angle downward and outward
and are spaced at 20 foot intervals. If
stood out on dry land the whole
structure would tower almost five times
as high as the General Office Building.
But placed in the water, it will
stand only 13 feet above the surface.
It will look much like an ordinary 2-
lane concrete road except for equipment
such as the hose-lifting structure and
the spring fenders protecting each pile.
Under the 34 foot wide surface are
supporting steel girders that tie the
tops of the piles together. Slung
directly under these cross girders are
the guts of the finger pier...... the 18


pipelines that will drain and fill
tankers.
While these pipelines are the arteries
and veins of the pier and will carry
fresh water, air, oil, and even telephone
and power lines, the skeleton-like
structure posed the toughest problems.
Similar jobs have seldom been done be-
fore on such a scale, and some of the
standard methods of pile driving were
discarded.
The basic problem in building the
pier was to anchor the long piles in the
ocean bottom. Each pipe is made of two
H beams welded together to form a
2-feet square box section. When jam-
med down into the ocean bottom, the
pile has enough weight plus the grip-
ping power of the sand and coral to
stay firm ..... in the majority of cases.
In some cases, however, it was neces-
sary to insert a plug plate in the hollow
section of the pile. This increased the
size of the base and provided additional
resistance. Another method was to weld
seven-foot lengths of H beams on each
side of the pile near the bottom. In a
few instances, where sufficient resis-
tance was not obtained, additional
length was added to the piles and the
driving continued to greater depths.
Pile driving, fairly simple on a small
scale, turns into a complicated job when


Not fishing but testing. The center pile is
being jacked downward by this workman,
but it is firm enough to raise the outer
reactionery piles instead.


The new No. 1 (East) Finger Pier, now under construction, will be one of the largest
all-welded steel oil-handling piers in the world. It will reach 790 feet from tip to shore,
and will berth two 26,000 ton ocean tankers.


you deal with piles weighing eight to
twelve tons each. First requirement was
a driver mighty enough to handle the
work. There weren't any available, so
the Netherlands Harbor Works Co., Ltd.
which is doing all construction on the
pier assembled one of the largest pile
driver rigs ever built.
It rears more than 100 feet into the
air and is maneuvered into position by
winches which alternately tug at fixed
anchor ropes. The pile driver hammer
takes a stroke of three and one-half
feet and hits with a force of 50,000
foot-pounds. That's enough punch to
drive a steel girder through almost any-
thing!
The piles have to be driven in at an
angle to buttress the pier against
tankers slamming sideways. So, the pile
driver was also built to drive them at
an angle. Then too, it is almost impos-
sible to drive steel piles of this size
exactly in location. In riveted construc-
tion misalignment is serious, since it
requires special fitting of the connec-
ting joints. Welding, however, allows a
little more leeway. So welding is a big
time-saver in the construction.
Several unique tests were used to
check the strength of the piles. Six
hundred thousand pounds were success-
fully loaded on the top of a single pile
with no downward movement. Other
tests checked the resistance of the piles
to sideward movement by pulling the


tops of two piles toward each other. The
tests prove that the East Finger Pier is
here to stay.
It will get a lot of pushing around
during its expected 40 year life. A fully
loaded tanker can push up against the
piles with terrific force. Huge spring
fenders absorb the shock, while the
whole pier actually moves a very small
amount.
This isn't all. The designers provided
for a large wind load of hurricane
velocity on the exposed silhouettes of
the moored ships.
But strength of construction is not
the whole answer when you are build-
ing harbor works. Corrosion is the great
enemy of steel, and four safeguards are
being taken. Piles are coated with three
layers of rustpreventing paint. Second-
ly, magnesium "anodes" will form a
giant storage battery together with the
steel pier and the ocean, and the steel
piles will be continually coated with a
protective magnesium deposit.
The hollow insides of each pile will
be filled with oil. Before this can be
done, a diver will go under to seal all
existing holes in the piles with wooden
plugs. Lastly, a concrete jacket will be
wrapped around each pile at the critical
waterline section where wind and water
cause swift corrosion.
When Lago first decided to build the
East Finger Pier, requirements were

The mighty pile driver "Aruba" juts 103 feet above the harbor as it prepares to drive
another pile. Its hammer weighs ten tons and operates on steam power.


Here's what happened to a steel pile when
it was driven into very hard coral.


Arteries and veins of the finger pier are
these pipes which load and unload tankers.

Captains and lieutenants of the teams in the Safe workers' Contest met with members
of the Incentive Contest Committee late last month to set new objectives for the teams
to aim at. Above, F. H. Himes speaks to the group on the purpose of the Contest. To
the right of him, seated at the table, are E. F. Keesler; G. N. Owen: K. Springer; H.
Culver; F. W. Switzer, chairman of the Council of Captains during the absence of H.
Chippendale: and E. J. Kulisek, of the Safety Division. Except for Mr. Switzer, all are
members of the Incentive Contest Committee. Also a member is A. Kirtley, on vacation.

Teams Set Goals to Reach Ex-Lagoites At Montana Refinery

uCIuI C LIIU U n ulll Ca

New objectives were set by the teams
in the Safe Workers' Contest following
a meeting late last month of captains
and lieutenants and the Incentive Con-
test Committee. Each team set a goal
which it will attempt to reach before
the Contest closes on October 31. A
team with a relatively high score, for
instance, might set its goal at a figure
only ten points higher, while one in the
red would set its objective at getting
into the green.
F. W. Switzer, Council of Captains
chairman during the absence of H. Chip-
pendale, was introduced to the captains
and lieutenants and spoke briefly. Other
speakers were G. N. Owen, head of the
Safety Division, and F. H. Himes and
E. F. Keesler, members of the Incentive
Committee. E. J. Kulisek presided over
the meeting.
A safety film, "To Live in Darkness",
was shown to the group. It depicted the
manner in which eye injuries can occur
in industry when employees fail to
follow safety regulations.
Following the movie a Contest slogan
for August was selected. The winner
was "Save Your Eyes to See the Prize",
which was turned in by Simon Croes,
Carpenter Department, a member of the
Druif team.
Sheets were given to all captains to
be posted where their team members
could see them. In addition to contain-
ing space to write in the team's goal,
these sheets contain valuable informa-
tion about safety and the Contest. It
will be worth your while to read what's
on them.

CYI Issues New Certificates

The Coin Your Ideas Committee re-
cently began issuing certificates to
employees turning in winning suggest-
ions. Signed by the general or assistant
general manager and the employee's de-
partment head, the certificate takes the
place of the letter formerly sent to per-
sons submitting winning ideas. The
certificate has the title and number of
the idea on it, as well as the amount
paid. They are presented with the cash
award.


Three former employees here, Si
Yates, Charles Kasson, and Frank Mug-
ford, are now working at the Billings,
Montana refinery of the Carter Oil
Company, a Jersey Standard affiliate.
This news was contained in a recent
letter from Mr. Yates, who worked for
many years in the Gas Plant here.
Remarking that the Aruba Esso
News was received regularly there and
was enjoyed by them, Mr. Yates also
asked for a copy of This Is Lago.
His letter contained news of other
long-time Lagoites who are now living
in the States. Mr. and Mrs. Coy Cross,
and Bonnie and Jimmy Bluejacket had
recently visited at Billings on their way
through the Yellowstone National Park.
Commenting on the operation of the
new refinery at Billings, Mr. Yates
said that the installation was operating
with little or no trouble on the start-up.
It was the Carter Oil Company to
which Lago loaned C. J. Griffin, who
represented the Jersey Company in
connection with the construction of the
Billings refinery. Mr. Griffin is now
division superintendent here in charge
of the Eastern Division of the Process
Department.



Hendrik van den
Arend this month

President J. J. Ho-
rigan. Mr. van den

"Who says the Dakota Team is going to

net, captain of the Bucuti team. With the
help of safety talks, posters, and hard
work on the part of Captain Bennet, his

the Bucuti workers are out to surpass the
Dakota record. Above, Mr. Bennet, who
works in the Pipefitting Department, puts
up a poster showing his team's goal and
also other information about the contest.

answer Safety Sam's questions about the
Safe Workers' Contest and each won a
prize. Sterling silver belt buckles were
the awards presented to them.
John A. Ryan, of Receiving and Ship-
ping and a member of the Malmok team,
won his prize on July 30, and Bruno
Bremer, of the Gas Plant and the
Balashi team, received his on August 13.

U.S. Oil Industry 90 Years Old
Next Sunday, August 27, the United
States petroleum industry will celebrate
its 90th birthday. That date will be the
anniversary of the drilling of the Drake
well at Titusville, Pennsylvania.
Once despised by the early salt-well
drillers as a curse because it tainted the
salt, petroleum since has become one of
the world's most useful resources and
has benefited all mankind. Mushroom-
ing from a mere handful of pioneers,
the petroleum industry now is compos-
ed of 34,000 competitive companies
and approximately 2,000,000 employees.


Philatelists Organize Club
Stamp collectors of San Nicolas met
early this month for the purpose of
forming the San Nicolas Philatelic
Society. Officers were elected at the
first meeting, and present plans call for
meetings of the group on the first and
third Mondays of each month.
On August 24 the Club's special pro-
gram was to consist of a slide show
and lecture by Robert MacMillan, mem-
ber of the Aruba Philatelic Society and
long-time stamp collector.
Officers of the new organization are
Syd Brathwaite, president; Erskine
Anderson, vice president; C. H. Mayers,
secretary; and Gentle Joseph, treasurer.


Four Get Aerial Radio Licenses

Four employees, members of the
Aruba Flying Club, recently passed the
examination for restricted licenses as
radio telephone operators. The license
authorizes them to operate a radio tele-
phone installation aboard amateur
planes.
The Lagoites who passed the test were
Robert C. Baum, Receiving and Ship-
ping; William B. Cundiff and Daniel D.
Streeter, TSD; and John W. Sherman,
Colony Service. The examination was
given in Curagao early this month.

Commissary Privileges Go On
For Retiring Lago Employees
Employees living in Aruba after
their retirement are now given Commis-
sary privileges, allowing them to con-
tinue trading at the commissary after
their years of active employment are
over.
A Commissary Identification Card is
issued to the annuitant or to his wife,
and he continues to have the privilege
of purchasing commissaries on credit,
as he did during his years as an
employee.
In addition to the assistance this
provides for annuitants who spend their
later years in Aruba, the move serves
as another continuing link between the
retired employee and the Company for
which he worked so many years.

Annuitant Enjoys Publications
Charles Joseph, who retired from the
L.P.D. February 1 of this year after
over 20 years service, wrote recently
that he was enjoying receiving the
Aruba Esso News and the Lamp maga-
zine. His address now is 74 Eighth
Street, Barataria, Trinidad.

R. J. Halsey Promoted at Bayonne
Russell J. Halsey, who worked here
from 1937 to 1944, was recently pro-
moted to the position of assistant
general foreman of the Bayonne (N.J.)
Refinery's Electrical Department. He
succeeds Charles F. Bauer, who was
named general foreman of the depart-
ment.
Starting his Esso career at Bayway
in 1918, Mr. Halsey joined Bayonne's
Electrical Department four months
later. With the exception of the period
he worked for Lago, he has been at
Bayonne since. He was a foreman be-
fore his recent promotion.

In 1926 Mr. Teagle went to Trieste,
Italy to supervise the rebuilding and
modernizing of Jersey's refinery there.
He remained at Trieste until 1929, when
he returned to the States for a short
period. The next six years were spent
in Paris, France, first as assistant to
T. R. Parker, supervisor of all Jersey
Standard's European refineries, and in
1934 advancing to Mr. Parker's position
when the latter returned to the States.
In 1936 Mr. Teagle took up duties in
the New York office of Lago President
G. W. Gordon, remaining there until
coming to Aruba in September 1942 as
Lago's personnel manager. In January
1944 he was named manager of the
Industrial Relations Department.

qualified as a pharmacist's assi-
stant after a recent course of stu-
dy in Curacao. Mr. Finck passed
an official government test with
high honors and took his oath
before the Governor of Curacao.
He has been working with the
Pharmacy Department since the
first of December, 1948. The offi-
cial test is the same required for
work in any commercial drug
store, and Mr. Finck is now quali-
fied to mix complex prescriptions
and to carry out much more ex-
tensive pharmaceutical duties.

Lago Wins Trophy After 10 Years

After ten years of competition between
the golf teams from CPIMI in Curavao and
Lago, the Smith-Nordijn trophy finally
went to Lago. Final matches for posses-
sion of the trophy were played here over
the weekend of August 13. At left J. Bou-
wens (left), president of the Curagao team
and CPIM's management representative,
has presented the trophy to Lago Captain
E. F. McCoart. Below a toast to continued
good relations between the two teams is
given by C. F. Smith, chairman of the
K, Aruba Golf Club's executive committee. At
the table, from left to right, are C. W.
Walker, vice-chairman of the Aruba team's
executive committee; B. Skuerkokel, cap-
tain of the CuraCao team; J. J. Horigan,
president of Lago; Mr. Smith: Mr. Bou-
wens; and O. Mingus, Lago's assistant
general manager. Final score of the
meeting was 38 points for Aruba and 16
for the visitors. The trophy was retired on
the basis of the last two meetings between
the two clubs, one match being played in
Curagao and the other here.

FRIEND


29 Graduate from TSD Course
Twenty-nine employees graduated
August 9 from the TSD basic technical
course in mathematics, physics, che-
mistry, and process. The 54-hour
course began last January.
Purpose of the upgrading course was
to give employees an elementary know-
ledge of physics and chemistry as ap-
plied to refinery operations, and to
provide them with basic instruction in
algebra, geometry, and process oper-
ations. Subjects taught in the course
were entirely new to some students,
and served as refresher material to
others who already had some instruc-
tion in those fields.
It is planned to later give more ad-
vanced training courses concerned with
more specific TSD operations.
The course was taught by W. G.
Spitzer, who was assisted by occasional
guest lecturers from the Technical Ser-
vice Department.
Graduates were: Ivan S. Irons, Ed-
win Bacchus, Calvin R. Assang, J. C.
Max Lashley, Permadat Gopie, Abdul
Rahim, Sixto F. Arends, Lucius E. J.
Luison, Laureano Geerman, Maximo

mez, Clemente Zievinger, Julio Maduro,
S. Hernandez, Jacques R. Arrindell,
Garner Th. De Mattos, Leopold D. An-
thony, and Donald Amoroso.

Absences for Crop Cultivation
Are Authorized Without Penalty
This year, as in the past, the
A.W.O.L. policy will be waived for four
days in the case of those employees
designated by the Government as hav-
ing land on which crops may be grown.
Men in this group are allowed four days
off without pay before January 1, 1950.
Two of the allowable days are usually
taken immediately after the first heavy
rain, and need not be reported to fore-
men in advance. The other two days
are taken from four to eight weeks
later in order to cultivate the crops,
and these days require permission ob-
tained in advance.


ID'gers Win First Half;
Loop's Second Half Starts

The Dodgers softball team won the
three-game play-off with Baby Ruth
and came out as winners of the first
half of the Lago Heights softball
league. The Dodgers thus earned the
right to play the winner of the second
half for the league championship.
Scores of the play-off series were 8-7
in favor of the Baby Ruth club, and
12-8 and 9-6 for the Dodgers.
The latter half of the loop got under
way August 9; at the end of two weeks
play the Dodgers and Baby Ruth, each
with two wins and no defeats, were
again tied for the league leadership.
Scores during the first two weeks of
play: Bicho Malo 8, Aruba Juniors 7;
Dodgers 13 Los Tigres 9; Baby Ruth
10, Hollandia 7; Hollandia won by
default from Bicho Malo; Dodgers 16.
Catholic Youth Organization 4; Baby
Ruth 11, Lago Heights 6.
The schedule for the coming weeks:
August 26: Baby Ruth vs. Los Tigres
and Catholic Youth Organization vs.
Caribe.
August 29: Lago Heights vs. CYO.
August 30: Lago Heights vs. Caribe.
August 31: Baby Ruth vs. CYO and
Los Tigres vs. Bicho Malo.
September 2: Baby Ruth vs. Hollandia
and Aruba Juniors vs. Lago Heights.
September 6: Caribe vs. Hollandia.
September 7: Los Tigres vs. Lago
Heights and Bicho Malo vs. Dodgers.
September 9: Aruba Juniors vs. Baby

/ September 13: Baby Ruth vs. Caribe.
September 14: CYO vs. Aruba Juniors
and Los Tigres vs. Hollandia.
September 16: Dodgers vs. Lago Heights
and Bicho Malo vs. Baby Ruth.
Games are played under the lights at
Lago Heights three nights a week. A
single game is played Tuesday nights,
starting at 7:30, and double headers go

and 8:35. Umpires for the loop are
from the various teams in the league
and from the Lago Colony softball

has released some advance figures based
on the census report for that territory
which is in course of preparation. They
show the chief territorial divisions, the
racial composition of the population,
religions, occupations, totals of villages
and centers, children of school age, and

nearly sixty thousand to approximately
three hundred and seventy-six thousand
since 1931, with more than a quarter of
the entire population living in George-
