COURTESY BEHIND THE WHEEL

(This article first appeared several years ago in a booklet called "Guide To Safe
Driving". Although many years have passed this message can never be old.)
The safe way is always the courteous way. When you drive with considera-
tion for those accompanying you and for the other driver, you are driving safely.
There can be no other way.
Good manners behind the wheel insure a safe journey, an enjoyable journey
for you, your family or friends with you, and fellow drivers on Aruba's roads.
Don't cheat the law. Courteous drivers never do. Laws are established and
enforced for our protection. Disregard for the law endangers your life and the
lives of others.
Pedestrians deserve particular attention. Many of them are non-drivers and
don't appreciate the position behind the wheel. Children playing by the road-
side don't think before they dash. It is up to the driver to keep his car in com-
plete control and watch out for them. By law, drivers must yield the right of
way to pedestrians crossing the roadway within any marked crosswalk. If a
pedestrian walking on the roadway does not pay attention to your horn, be con-
siderate think before you act in haste. There are many people walking the
streets whose old age, youth, infirmities, or physical defects would throw the
entire responsibility of an accident upon you.
At night be courteous in the use of your lights. The bright or upper beam
can momentarily blind the driver of a car coming in the opposite direction. It's
a peculiarly helpless feeling to be directing a car while confronted by glaring
headlights. Lover your beam when approaching another car. In so doing you
will be law-abiding and courteous.


CORTESIA TRAS DI STUUR

(E articulo aki a sali pa promer biaha various anja pasa den un boeki entitulA,
"Guide To Safe Driving." Aunque cu hopi anja a pasa e mensahe aki nunca ta
biew.)
E manera sigur semper ta e manera di cortesia. Ora Bo ta corre cu consi-
deracion pa esnan hunto cu Bo y pa e otro chauffeur, Bo ta corre cu seguridad.
No por tin otro manera. Bon manera tras di wiel ta asegura un viaje salvo pa
Bo, Bo familiar of amigonan cu ta cu Bo, y otro chauffeurnan ariba caminanan
di Aruba.
No ganja ley. Chauffeurnan cortes nunca ta haci esey.
Leynan a ser traha y ehecuta pa Bo protection. Falta di respect pa ley ta po-
ne Bo bida y di otro na peligro.
Hendenan na pia tin mester di atencion particular. Hopi di nan no ta chauf-
feur y no ta aprecia Bo position tras di wiel. Muchanan hungando canto di
camina no ta pensa promer cu nan saca careda. Ta deber di e chauffeur pa
tene su auto henteramente domine y waak pa nan. Segun ley, chauffeurnan
master duna derecho di camina na hendenan na pia cruzando camina na lu-
garnan marc. Si un hende na pia camnando ariba camina no ta paga aten-
cion pa Bo pito, sea considerado pensa promer cu Bo actua den apuro.
Tin hopi hende ta camna ariba caya kende nan edad halto, hubentud, enfer-
medad, of defecto fisico por tira henter responsabilidad di un desgracia ariba
Bo.
Anochi sea cortds den uso di Bo luznan. E luz brillante por blind un otro
chauffeur cu ta bini for di direction contrario. Ta un sintimento horrible pa Bo
ta corre un auto ora cu luznan cu ta blind Bo ta enfrenta Bo. Baha bo luz na
un distancia di 100 metro (350 pia) ora cu Bo ta contra un otro auto. Hacien-
do asina Bo ta demonstra cortesia y a la vez tene Bo na ley.
Sea cortes, sea prudent e bida cu Bo salba por ta di Bo mes.

The "Varec" tank gauge is an auto-
matic measuring device located in
the tank with its dial reading mecha-
nism on the outside at a convenient
ground level for easy reading. The
gauge, which varies according to the
type of tank, is float actuated. The
float is buoyant on the liquid surface
to a constant submersion depth in
the tank and is connected to a tape
which passes through the tank top
and the gauge piping into the gauge
head. As the float rises and lowers
with the unit level, the tape is re-
tracted into and extracted from the
gauge head. The liquid level is indi-
cated on the dial reading mechanism
of the gauge housing in feet and inch-
es. This entire gauge system on the
tank ties in with a transmitter to the
Oil Movements Control system.
To make sure that the "Varec" gau-
ges give correct oil measurements, the
Oil Movements Assistant Operator
climbs to the rim of the tank and re-
leases a special measuring tape into
the tank to calculate the oil level.
His findings are compared with the
local reading of the "Varec" gau-
ge installed on the tank and with the
reading transmitted to the computer
in the Oil Movements Control system
to ensure accurate performance.

Recruits in The Volunteer Fire Brigade

Meet New Challenges, Learn New Skills


Fire A group of men quickly
respond to the fire alarm, jump into
their boots, pull on their jackets, don-
ning their protective head gear as
they rush towards the site of the
blaze. Springing into action, they
run to the nearest fire hydrant, hust-
ling fire equipment, connecting hoses
and activating the sprinkler system
and foam pumpers from the fire truck.
The battle is on Working as a team
and directed by their captain, the
men attack the leaping flames spread-
ing from the smoking unit in an at-
tempt to subdue their path of destruc-
tion. Columns of smoke arise, brief-
ly silhouetting the clear blue sky, be-
fore billowing out again.
The men work rapidly, diligently,
fearlessly approaching the intense
heat, pulling and tugging along the
heavy, now waterfilled hoses, strain-
ing them towards the menacing fla-
mes, persistently directing the streams
of water on the fire to douse it. After-
wards, soaked from perspiration and
water, smoke-stenched and fatigued,
the firemen stand back to look at the
defeated, yet still smoldering, fire.
Their faces reflect satisfaction, stem-
ming from a sense of victory, a just
reward for their efforts. The combat
is over !
A Hollywood production ? No, the
action-packed scene described here,
although "cast" in a simulated emer-
gency, was very real. The "set" was
the company Fire Training Grounds,
the "stars" a group of recent volun-
teer firefighters, new recruits who are
replacing a group of volunteers who
have retired and members of the Go-
vernment Airport Fire Brigade.
In challenging the blaze, they prac-
ticed new skills learned in the Fire
Training Program, coming face to
face with one of the many different
types of fire which can happen in a
refinery.
It is part of the extensive 40-hour
training program conducted by Fire
Chief Raymond Peterson and Fire
Training Instructor Jacinto Harms du-
ring daily sessions at the Fire Training
Grounds. It covers first aid fire ex-
tinguishing, techniques in producing
effective fire streams, sizing up and
attacking fires on tanks, manifolds,
units, oil spills and propane drums,
and special techniques when attack-
ing fires upwind. It includes handling
different fire fighting equipment and
working the Dry Chemical truck and
foam pumper spraying systems. Per-
sonal safety instructions include wear-
ing coveralls, waterproof hip-high


boots, bunker coats, fire-proof proxi-
mity suits, fireman's hat and Scott
Air-Pak for toxic gases, etc.
At the end of the training period the
new volunteers were congratulated by
Vice President John R. Gibbs, who,
with Fire Training Instructor Jacinto
Harms, presented certificates to the
Lago Volunteers.
In the future they will participate in
scheduled fire fighting practice three
hours per month to sharpen their
skills so they can always be prepared
in case of fire. The group now forms
part of the five-team Volunteer Fire-

Shift Superintendent or OMCS Fore-
man who passes this information on
to the OMCS Technician. If differen-
ces of more than 1/ inch in a tank
smaller than 80,000 barrels or 1 inch
in a tank larger than 80,000 barrels
are found in the hand tape measure-
ments with the local and computer
gauges, the OMCS Technician deter-
mines whether the gauge requires
adjustment or repair. He then ar-
ranges with the Instrument Mainte-
nance Section personnel to recali-
brate or repair the gauge.
A copy of the calibration report is
sent to the Internal Control Section


It costs less money to wash clothes
than to dry them, so it possible, dry
clothes outdoors rather than using an
electric or gas dryer. Other ways of
cutting down energy consumption
when doing the laundry:
Wait until you have a full load
before you run the washer.
SSort laundry according to
amount of soil, color, and type
of material. Use the correct
time and temperature for each
particular load.
To help remove heavy dirt, use
presoak or prewash cycles.

Varec Gauge Calibration Program
so that correct oil accounting records
can be maintained.
As in all automatic devices, gauges
and their transmitter are extremely
sensitive to electronic "noise" and vi-
brations which could cause the enco-
der to transmit incomplete or incor-
rect information on the OMCS teleme-
try system. Deterioration of the gau-
ge itself, caused mostly by weather
conditions, can also be the source of
incorrect reading. Therefore the Va-
rec Gauge Calibration Program is
aimed at intensifying accounting con-
trol. With good gauges the blending
operations in the Oil Movements Divi-
sion will be greatly improved and the
accounting for oil shipped and re-


A Use cold water and cold-water
detergents when practical.
SSpin-dry wash before putting it
in the dryer.
* Don't overload the washer or
dryer. They'll have to work
harder and longer and use
more energy in the process.
Also, overloading the dryer
causes wrinkles that have to be
ironed out later.
* Keep the lint filter on the dryer
clean to permit air to move
freely. Clean the filter after
each use.

Blending and shipping of oil with a
high level of accuracy is a must, par-

high operating costs due to inflation,
and a very competitive market place.

di midi cu man cada dos luna.

E "Varec" meter pa tanki ta un apa-
rato automatic di midi cu ta situA
na e tanki na un lugar pa ser les,
cu facilidad na haltura di hende su
bista. E meter, cual ta varia segun e
tipo di tanki, ta ser actuA door di un
flota. E flota ta diief ariba e liquid
te na un cierto midi constant den e
tanki y ta conecta na un cinta cual ta
pasa door di e top di e tanki y den un
tubo pa e meter. Segun e flota ta su-
bi of baha hunto cu e liquid den tan-
ki, e cinta ta bai mas aden of ta bin

den pia y duim ariba e panel di e me-
ter. Henter e sistema di meter ariba
e tanki ta conecta cu un transmisor
na e sistema computador di Oil Move-
ments Control System (OMCS).

Pa percura cu e meternan "Varec"
ta duna midinan correct di azeta, e
Assistant Operators di Oil Movements
ta subi te na rand ariba di e tanki y
ta baha e cinta special di midi den
e tanki pa determine e nivel di azeta.
E resultado ta ser comparC cu loque
