SPAC Election
To Be Plant Wide
In accordance with a request of
the Special Problems Advisory
Committee, the forthcoming elec-
tion of this committee will be
handled on a plant wide basis
without regard for nationality.
The scheduled election for three
positions will be held May 11 and
12. The election procedure will be
similar to that used by the Lago
Sport Park Board.


"We'll petition the United Na-
tions," said he. "There must be some
statute against poison warfare. It's
getting so a rat isn't safe wherever
he goes." With that outburst, he de-
fiantly flipped his tail in the air and
scampered off in a huff. But word
has it, he and his robber clan started
making plans to move to healthier
climates.
What had infuriated Mr. Rodent
was the news that Lago was fed up
with the rats getting "fed up" on
company expense. Though the situa-
tion was not critical, Commissary
stores had been raided by the vermin
and they had become a nuisance in
general.
Working with an outside supplier,
the company began spreading a new-
type rat poison in likely rat havens
April 13. Harmless to man, domestic
animals, even birds, the poison is in
the form of innocuous-looking blue
bread crumbs. It must be the blue
that does it! After Mr. Rodent gor-
ges himself on the bait over a period
of four days, he suddenly gets a fatal
tummy ache and expires. That's why
the poison is distributed regularly.
One feeding is not enough.
Piles of poison have been placed
around buildings, pipe alleys, dock
approaches, lunch shelters, the dump
'and along the waterfront.

What Is Competition?

There is so much interplay of competition in the business and in-
dustrial world that most of us find it difficult to find a simple defini-
tion for the subject.
By narrowing the viewpoint it is easier to pick out various forms of
competition and gain a better appreciation of their importance in our
society. Here are a few examples.
On one side of a business street is a store that sells washing mach-
ines. The merchant offers a prospective buyer value for his guilders in
the form of convenience (as opposed to an old-fashioned washing
board), efficiency and time and labor savings. Just as the customer,
who is convinced by this time, is about to part with his precious
guilders and buy the washing machine, he notes a sign on the other
side of the street "Laundry."
An element of doubt enters his mind. "Better see what the other
fellow has to offer before I commit myself," he muses. And off he goes.
It's the laundry proprietor's turn now. "Why make an investment
in a washing machine? Put it into savings and let your money work
for you. Convenience? We'll pick up your soiled clothing, mend any
tears, replace lost buttons, wash the clothes in modern and highly
efficient machines, turn them over to our expert pressers and deliver
them to your home all this at a very nominal cost to you. You'll
have more free time for leisure."
What does the potential customer do now? It depends. The washing
machine salesmen may have convinced him of the utility of owning
his own machine while the laundry operator may have sold him on the
ease and convenience of letting someone else do the "dirty work."
Regardless of the customer's choice that's really not the point here
- two merchants are vying for his guilders and only one will win.
Other customers may have different thoughts, so each merchant gets
a share of the business.
This is a case of two different businesses being in competition with
one another. Meanwhile, the washing machine man must compete with
other washing machine merchants and the laundry man must compete
with other laundries. All are concerned with establishing attractive
prices that allow for a normal profit. Each must offer reliable equip-
ment and service. Each must give just value for hard-earned guilders
received.
The merchant who must charge more due to inefficient operations,
poor quality merchandise and poor judgment will soon be out of
business.
That's competition.




Kiko Ta Competicion?

Tin asina tanto interaccion di competition den mundo commercial y
industrial cu mayoria di nos tin dificultad pa haya un simple defini-
cion pa e concept aki.
Door di encerra e punto di vista ta mas facil pa escoge various forma
di competition y gana un mehor comprendemento di nan importancia
den nos comunidad. Aki ta sigui algun ehemplo.
Na un banda di caya tin un tienda cu ta bende mashien di laba panja.
E comerciante ta ofrece e cumprador cu drenta valor pa su florin den
forma di conveniencia (contrario por ehemplo na un tabla di frega
panja cu a bai for di moda), eficiencia y spaarmento di tempo y
trabao. Net e client, cu ya ta convenci, ta bai parti cu su precioso
florinnan y cumpra e mashien di laba panja, el ta mira un borchi na
otro banda di caya scirbi "Laundry" ariba.
Un element di duda ta drenta su mente. "Laga mi mira kiko e
otro tin di ofrece mi promer mi compromete mi mes," el ta pensa. Y el
ta bai p'aya.
Awor ta turno di donjo di e laundry. "Pakiko haci un inverticion den
un mashien di laba panja? Spaar e placa y laga e placa traha pa bo.
Conveniencia? Nos ta bin busca bo panja sushi, drecha nan unda tin
master, pone boton perdi, pasa nan pa nos strikadornan expert y
entrega nan na bo cas tur esaki na un costo nominal pa bo. Asina
bo ta haya mas hopi tempo liber pa placer."
Kiko e client potential ta haci? Ta depend. Podiser e bendedor di
mashien di laba panja a lage'le convenci di e utilidad di ta donjo di su
mes mashien mientras e donjo di laundry por a convince tambe di e
facilidad y conveniencia di laga un otro haci e trabao pisa pe. Irres-
pecto decision di e client esey no
ta imports aki dos comerciante
ta competi pa su florin y sola-
mente un di nan lo gana. Otro
clientenan podiser lo tin otro idea,
asina pues cada comerciante ta
hays un parti di e negoshi.
Esaki ta e caso di dos diferente
negoshi cu ta competi cu otro.
Mientras tanto, e bendedor di
mashien di laba panja mester
competi cu e otro bendedornan y e
donjo di laundry mester competi
cu otro donjonan. Tur nan pre-
ocupacion ta pa pone prijsnan
atractivo cu ta laga un ganashi
normal. Cada un master ofrece
servicio y maquinaria confiable.
Cada un mester duna un bon valor
pa cada florin ganA cu trabao.
E comerciante kende master X
cobra mas pa motibo di operation
ineficiente, calidad pobre y mal
huzgamento, pronto lo no ta den
negoshi mas. Esey ta competition. A. De Cuba

Bunkering Tank Moved

To Oranjestad Harbor
Two age-old methods of transportation, implemented by man's
modern machines, were used to relocate a forty-five-ton storage
tank from its refinery site to Gerard Dock at Oranjestad Harbor.
By wheel and water, the forty-foot wide by thirty-foot high struc-
ture was moved by Mechanical-Rigger personnel. Garage-Transpor-
tation men and Marine-Floating Equipment employees.
The tank was guided down narrow refinery roads to the loading
dock by two treadless tractors and two mobile cranes. It rested on
multi-tired dollies placed just right by the riggers. Loaded on a
barge the evening of April 8, the tank was towed by the Esso Oran-
jestad the next morning to its new bunkering location. Heavy winds
and rough seas confronted the tow although the trip was made in
the short time of an hour and forty-five minutes.
The tank is being used by Lago to supplement its bunkering barge
when ship requirements exceed the barge capacity. First customer
was the Grace Line's Santa Rosa which took on 8000 barrels of
marine fuel oil from the 6700 barrel tank and the bunkering barge.
This was enough to enable the giant liner to make a round trip
between Aruba and New York City without taking on bunkers.

THIS SCRAP drum from the lecently-dismantled
No. 12 Visbreaker is slated for the welder's cutting
torch and finally the steel mills of Europe.

Life Cqcle of Units


Influenced b y'Change'
Like the cycle of life itself, man-made things are conceived and
fabricated and put to work only to become obsolete as better, more
efficient designs are created. The old is scrapped and may go to steel
mill cupolas where the life cycle of a new machine or refining unit is
started.
And so it goes at Lago. The salvage and scrap yards encompass
graphic examples of the continual changes taking place in the refinery.
The area is a graveyard of old, discarded refining towers, heat ex-
changers, pumps, gears, valves and drums. The mangled skeletons of
once busy refining units contrast sharply with the graceful geometries
of modernized, active counterparts. Obsolescence a terminus of all
things man-made has again been reached.
Riding high on change is the better efficiency that comes with
technical advancements. Making a new pattern on the refinery's skyline
are the newly-reconstructed combination units. They have replaced the
older units because they refine Lago's products more efficiently. They
produce at less cost so the company may meet and beat the compe-
tition. But the day some bright lad in a research laboratory comes up
with a better way of doing things, then these units, too, may be reduced
to scrap under the skillful cut of a welder's torch.
Obsolescence has cut a swath through the refinery where the Com-
bination Units numbers one through four, No 11 Unit and No. 12 Vis-
breaker once stood. Completely demolished are No. 1 and No. 2 which
went on stream in the fall of 1929. Partially dismantled are No. 3 and
No. 4. They went on stream in December, 1929, and January, 1930,
respectively.
An empty lot marks the spot where No. 12 Visbreaker once processed
thousands of barrels of oil daily, its towers, drums, heat exchangers,
pumps, pipe and motors long since scrapped or reclaimed for use in
other units. This unit went on stream in early 1931. Partially dismantled
is No. 11 Unit. The once bustling area now resembles the blitzed indus-
tries of war time. Newest of the units, No 11, went into production in
1939.
Even during the days of their usefulness, the combination units were
subject to process changes. In the early years, the units distilled crude
oil, cracked the bottoms then took the middle cut of gas oil which they
severely cracked. A lot of gasoline was produced in this manner When
customer demands for gasoline eased, the units were converted to vis-
breaking so that a marketable fuel oil could be produced in quantity.
Again change dictated the company's process methods.
When an obsolete unit is marked for dismantling, not all of its equip-
ment is doomed to the scrap pile. A list of the various pieces of equip-
ment is compiled long before demolition takes place so that the
(Coiitrintcd on pmrge 8)


THE HAVOC wrought b3 dismantling opera-
tions is much in evidence at left. Once proud
units are reduced to rubble. Expensive fittings
and structures are reduced to worthless
scrap. Even salvable equipment may later be
classed as obsolete or difficult to maintain
and, again, the scrap pile grows higher.
Through the element of never-ending change
- improving refinery processes to meet com-
petition the old must go to make way for
the new. Little is salvable in the scenes below
although trained eyes later determine the
reclamation value of flanges, \alves and pipe.

Furnace Tube CYI Worth


Fls. 500 to W. C. Keefer
The cost of replacing furnace tubes in Nos. 9 and 10 Visbreakers
has been reduced through the adoption of a CYI submitted by W. C.
Keefer, equipment inspector in TSD-EIG. In addition to this savings,
a better visbreaking operation has been realized and unit safety has
been improved. For his idea to change the two-tube parallel flow in


the visbreakers' roof outlet bank to
a series flow -which prevents the
overheating of the tubes -- Mr.
Keefer was awarded Fls. 500.
Other big February CYI winners
were A. Brown, Process-Utilities; H.
E. Abma, Accounting, and N. Chung,
Mechanical-Storehouse. Mr. Brown
received Fls. 200 for his idea to in-
stall an automatic sprinkler system
in the Wholesale Commissary build-
ing. Mr. Abma was awarded Fls. 175
for his CYI to make a board for re-
ference when distributing cables. A
CYI of Fls. 150 went to Mr. Chung
for his suggestion to initiate the use
of a dry cell battery rejuvenator in
the Process Department. During the
month of February a total of
Fls. 1630 was awarded for twenty-
one adopted CYI's. February winners

TANK MOVED
(Continued from page 3)
Originally No. 20 tank, it was cut
down from a 9000 barrel tank -
forty by forty feet to its present
size to handle acid sludge at the
S.A.R. project. Its riveted vertical
and horizontal seams were trimmed
then welded into its altered shape
so that it could handle the heavy
acid sludge. When bunkering require-
ments made it necessary to assign
the tank to the Oranjestad bunkering
project, additional internal braces
had to be installed so the tank could
be lifted during the move.
In temporary use at present, the
tank ultimately will be used to store
marine diesel medium bunkers and
will be augmented by 25,000 and
20,000 barrel storage tanks.

Mc Call Young Is Top Driver
Youthful Barney Oldfields from seven Cub Scout dens wheeled
home-made soapbox racers down hospital hill in Seroe Colorado the
afternoon of April 9. Vying for coveted silver trophies in the annual
Cub Scout Soapbox Derby, fourteen boys made three flying runs each
down the steep south hill. Added acceleration came from unique
starting ramps attached to the backs of two pickup trucks.
The fastest time of each lad's three runs was used to select the
four top drivers. Winning the trophies, donated by the Aruba Sports
Car Club, were McCall Young, 33.51 seconds, Den 8; Will Deese,
33.73 seconds, Den 4; Mark Kulisek, 33.83, Den 3, and John Wease,
33.98, Den 5. Race officials were American Legion members who
were assisted by parents of the participating scout dens.
