Protect Our Natural Resources

Aruba's natural resources take a number of forms. Whatever
they may be, it's the task of every citizen to help protect them.
Our natural resources are not all hidden in the ground, but
some are. Take, for instance, the remnants of early civiliza,
tion found in the ground at various places. They all have their
historic value. They are about the only resources that tell us
about the early inhabitants, the Arowak Indians. Therefore, any
artifacts found that could give more information about the early
cultures should be preserved and handled with care.
Other natural resources are our fine beaches, caves, and In-
dian scripts on rocks and natural rock formations. These should
be kept clean and undamaged.
Friendliness of the local population is another asset for Aru-
ba. In view of our ever-growing tourist industry, this is an es-
pecially valuable resource of future economic growth.
The island has always been known for its cleanliness. We
can all contribute towards a cleaner environment by not litter-
ing the streets with empty cans, bottles and scraps of paper,
Don't stop at your own home, but help keep Aruba's good name!
All of these resources should be considered in terms of their
value to the community. We can all only gain by protecting
them. Are you doing your share ?




Proteha Nos Recursonan Natural

Aruba su recursonan natural tin hopi forma. No ta import
kiko nan ta, obligacion di tur ciudadano ta pa proteha nan.
No tur recursonan natural ta scondi bao di tera, pero algun
ta. Por ehempel, restonan di un civilizacion anterior cu ta de-
ra bao di tera na various lugar. Nan tin nan balor historic.
Nan ta practicamente e unico recursonan cu ta inform nos to-
cante di e habitantenan di hopi tempo past di Aruba, Indian-
nan Arowak. Cualkier cos cu nan tabata usa como herment y
pa uso di cas cu por duna nos mas information tocante cultu-
ranan di antes, mester ser preserve y tratt cu masha cuidao.
Otro recursonan natural ta nos playanan bunita, cuebanan y
loque Indiannan a pinta ariba piedra y grupo di piedranan gran-
di. Ta necesario pa tene esakinan limpi y sin danjo.
Carinjo di nos poblacion ta un otro riqueza di Aruba. En
vista di nos constant y creciente industrial di turismo, esa-
ki tambe ta un recurso masha precioso pa nos future crecemen-
to economic.
Tambe nos isla semper tabata conoci pa su limpieza. Nos tur
por contribui pa un ambiente mas limpi door di no susha caya
cu bleki y botternan bashi y papel. No stop na bo propio cas,
pero yuda mantene Aruba su bon number !
Tur e recursonan aki mester ser considerA den termino di nan
balor pa nos comunidad. Si nos tur proteha nan, e probecho
ta pa nos mes. Abo ta haciendo bo part ?

Retiree Jacobo Boekhoudt Proudly Displays Harvest of Small Maize


Around February and March
this year, it was harvest time
for several local farmers who
cultivated and planted their "cu-
nucu" (cornfield) with Indian
corn or millet, called "mashi
rabo." One o4 them was Jacobo
Boekhoudt, a Lago retiree who
lives at Koribori 4, near Ayo
(Paradera District).
A Welder "A" in Mechanical's
Metal Trades-Welding when he
retired in April, 1962 after 29
years of service, Jacobo ever
since each year dedicates some
time to plant Indian corn on a
2-hectare field.
Last year after the rainfalls of
October, he sowed the corn
seed in the age-old way of dig-
ging rows of 3-inch deep holes
about one meter apart, which
are then covered with dirt, af-
ter weeding the planted area,
the grasslike plant grew to a
man's height and was ready for
harvesting in about four months.
The ears with the white-like
kernels and the stalk are then
cut with a machete at about two
to four inches from the ground.
The stalks are placed on stacks
to allow the grain to dry still
more.


Subsequently, the ears are cut
from the stalks and placed into
a pile, called "parapeta". In the
earlier days, the grain tassels
were stored in barns and when-
ever needed, a bunch of tassels
was threshed in a bag to sepa-
rate the corn from the husk. The
disadvantage of this system is
that the pile of grain tassels
would not last more than a year
without being attacked by in-
sects and rodents.
To offset this, since a few
years the farmers, including Ja-
cobo, thresh all the grain tassels
and keep the clean grains in
air-tight steel drums just out in
the open air. With this system,
the Indian corn can be kept for
several years in good condition.
An improvement in the old
planting system has also been
introduced by using a planting
machine. After the land is me-
chanically ploughed, a planting
machine is used to sow the land
in a minimum of time by insert-
ing four to five seeds into each
hole. Through this system, two
hectares of land can be plough-
ed and planted in about half a
day at a low cost.
Another step ahead is the

This pile when threshed will fill about four drums with clean grains.
a fairly new way of preserving the crop.

tro drum cu pipita limpi, un sistema basta nobo pa preserve cosecha.


grinding of the corn by using a
small electric milling machine
instead of a hand-operated grind-
er. Jacobo also has such an
electric machine.

From his stack of maize tas-
sels, retiree Jacobo Boekhoudt
hopes to fill some four drums
with grains.

For an average family of six,
one drum of grains would last
about a year. The Indian corn
is ground and after mixing with
wheat flour, salt, sugar and milk,
it is baked on a griddle into flat
cakes (or scones), which is lo-
cally called "pan bati" and is
similar to the "arrepita" in some
Latin American countries.

DECEASED ANNUITANTS

JOSEPH M. RICHARDS died in Aruba on January 5, 1974 at the
age of 61. A Pipefitter Helper in the Mechanical Department,
he retired on January 1, 1965 after more than 26 years of ser-
vice.

MIGUEL A. FELIPE died in Aruba on January 15, 1974. He was
63 old. A Machinist in Mechanical-Garage Section, he retired
on September 1, 1961 after over 33 years of service with the
company.

SOld Lago Metal Badge Unscathed

After Long Exposure to Weather


Early this year, a strange
looking badge in a "cunucu"
(open field) near Congoweg, San
Nicolas, caught the eye of the
son of Leonardo Silberie. Pro-
bably realizing that he had un-
earthed a little of Lago's past
history, the boy took it home to
his father, an employee in Pro-
cess-Oil Movements Division,
who in turn handed it to the La-
Sgo Security Department.
The rectangular identification
badge, which finally landed in
the Aruba Esso News Office,
probably looks strange to us
- nowadays, but from 1939 to 1941
n it was the company's official em-
s ployee I D. badge. Made of
heavy metal and celluloid, this
2"x11/4" badge was more perso-
nalized than the metal oval
badge used before 1939, which
only carried the employee's pay-
x roll number.

The badge, which has with-
stood the rigors of time, belong-
ed to a former employee named
H. N. Mingo who worked here
during the war years at the time
these badges were issued.
It was the first of a series of
badges to be used containing
employee's photograph and
name, department identification
and payroll number. In addi-
tion, the badge indicated the
employee's height. Engraved on
the reverse side of the badge
was the company name and a
serial number.
According to Gregorio Wil-
lems of Process-Utilities, who
boasts over 40 years of Lago
service, the badge included a
short leather strap which em-
ployees attached to their pocket
watch, keychain or hung at their
belt.

Management Answers Your Qz
For Answers: Dial 5 For


Q. The gas which our wives are
using at home for cooking,
which gas comes from Lago,
has a very bad odor when
you buy a bottle these days.
And when you report this to
the Aruba Gas Supply and
ask them to come and
change the cylinder, they
won't come to change it. I
feel this gas Is against hu-
man health because when-
ever you Inhale it for some
time, the bad odor gives you
a headache.
A. We have thoroughly investi-
gated the customer's com-
plaint and found that the
odor referred to was some-
what stronger than normal
the last few days. This situa-
tion has been remedied in
the meantime, and we since-
rely regret the inconvenien-
ces it may have caused.
As was explained in the Oc-
tober 5, 1973 issue of the
Aruba Esso News, one of the
many safety features provid-
ed as protection to customers
using this gas is the addi-
tion of an odorant to the
gas, which is unmistakable in


nature, to facilitate finding
small leaks in the cylinder
and/or stove connections.
0. Why does not Lago Manage-
ment let local employees
train for about six months
with the pilots so they can
bring in and take out ships
in the Lago harbor, just like
Lago has trained the local
employees for tug captain?
A. Good question! Lago does
intend to train Arubans to
become Pilots, or Docking
Masters as they will be call-
ed. Three men have already
been named as trainees:
Ramiro Gil, Sonny Hoo, and
Celestino Semeleer.
Q. Please stop this program, be-
cause It's more than two
weeks already that we did
not get a reply to our quest-
ion. Better stop it then.
A. As we stated on several oc-
casions in the past, all ques-
tions are answered, except
those of a personal nature.
Instead of discontinuing the
program, we would appre-
ciate your help in keeping
this channel of communica-
tion open. You can do this
by stating the specific ques-
tion which perhaps so far has
remained unanswered. It
might have been one of a
personal nature.
