De Mey, Geerman Receive

Thirty Year Certificates
Memories of events that span a third of a century were revived
when the thirty-year careers of two Lago employees were commemorat-
ed at a special management staff meeting May 4. Honored for their
long company service were Agustin DeMey, assistant operator in


Process-Catalytic and Light Ends,
in Mechanical-Pipe.
In presenting the two men with
thirty-year service emblems and cer-
tificates, Vice President W. A. Mur-
ray said, "Not many individuals have
the privilege of being employed the
number of years each of you have
with one company. And I think you'll
each agree that in many ways it is
a privilege to be able to maintain
such an impressive service record."
During the ceremonies the careers
of the two long-service men were re-
viewed. K. E. Springer, acting proc-
ess superintendent, outlined the job
history of Mr. DeMey. In the course
of the review it was revealed that
Mr. DeMey had made a special ef-
fort to get to work during his early
years with the company. "I had to
get up at 7 p.m. to make the mid-
night shift," Mr. DeMey revealed. He
went on to say that he lived north
of Santa Cruz and had to walk forty
minutes to a point where he could
catch the only truck bound for Lago
at that late hour. After a "day's"
work, a long truck ride and another
forty minute walk, he would arrive
back home at ten in the morning. At
that time his work was a seven days-
a-week proposition. On other shifts
he didn't even make an attempt to

holders of Lago Oil & Transport Co.,
Ltd. held April 25.
At the organization meeting of the
Board of Directors, re-elected offi-
cers were 0. S. Mingus, president;
W. A. Murray, vice-president; and

get home. Instead, he had a little
room in San Nicolas which he used
until he changed shift to the mid-
night trick.
Mr. DeMey joined the company
March 10, 1930 as a yard laborer. In
1931 he transferred to the ice plant
where he remained until 1935. After
a short stint as a cleanoutman in the
pressure stills, Mr. DeMey transfer-

The administering board of the
Home Building Foundation has an-
nounced that several HBF houses
are vacant and available for sale to
Lago employees on a first-come, first
served basis. The vacancies are locat-
ed in the Standardville and Brazil
HBF projects.
An employee may purchase one of
these attractive, concrete block
homes, offered through the Home
Building Foundation, by making a
Fls. 1500 down payment and making
monthly payments by payroll deduc-
tion of Fla. 80 to Fls. 100, depending
on the original cost of the home. The
houses can also be purchased out-
right.
An employee who purchases one of
these homes now will benefit by get-
ting the home at a price based on
the original cost less reduction for
normal depreciation. Interested em-
ployees should contact J. J. P. Odu-
ber of the Accounting Department,
telephone 2010.
The Home Building Foundation
was started in 1939 through the
auspices and support of Lago. The
low cost, substantial homes were
needed to alleviate an acute housing
problem caused by increased numbers
of employees during Lago's rapid ex-
pansion. In all, 458 homes were com-
pleted in thirteen projects located
mainly near the refinery. Of this


total, 236 homes are solely owned
by their occupants who have either
purchased them outright or have
completed mortgage payments. The
remaining occupants are in the pro-
cess of completing home payments.
The Home Building Foundation has
been a means of offering Lago em-
ployees a solid investment and the
pride of home ownership.

Freighter Loses Thirty-Ton

Fabrication During Storm


Though the thirty-ton fabrication
destined for Lago was securely lash-
ed with heavy steel cables to the
afterdeck of the Italian freighter
Liana, heavy seas still managed to
wrench the cargo from the deck of
the tossing ship. The date was April
12 and the Liana ran into a storm
that blocked its progress with waves
twenty feet high from trough to
crest. The ship was five hours out of
Marseilles, France, when the storm
hit. The Liana had left Genoa,
Italy, fourteen days earlier and had
stopped off at an other Italian port
to pick up the giant piece of equip-
ment.
The steel cables would have held


in normal or even moderately rough
seas but the Mediterranean can be
a relentless tormentor. During the
early stages of the raging storm,
the fabrication began to shift, its
tremendous weight placing anaenor-
mous strain on the -ables. Then it
happened. The cables snapped with
rifle-like reports, freeing the fabri-
cation, and it plunged over the side.
In effect, the Liana's crew was
lucky. Had the fabrication rolled the
other way, instead of overboard, it
could have smashed the vessel's su-
perstructure. But the sea was the
victor and now the huge fabrication
rests somewhere on the bottom of the
Mediterranean.

October, 1940. The thirty-year career of Mr.
Geerman was reviewed by G. L. MacNutt,
mechanical superintendent. Mr. MacNutt re-
marked on Mr. Geernan's job history --- he
has been a Mechanical-Pipe employee
throughout his long service with the com-
pany. Mr. MacNutt also revealed taat Mr.
Geerman has been a valuable employee

work. Interjecting a comment, Mr. Murray
said, "Such a specialty as this is important
to operations even in areas where water is
plentiful especially in colder climates. I
can attest to that."
Mr. Geerman joined Lago March 10, 1930
as a Mechanical-Pipe laborer. He was pro-
moted to helper second class in 1933 and be-

Oil Loss Program

Is Major Source

For CYI Awards
A recent CYI Bulletin pointed out
a major source for cost-saving ideas
that is virtually untapped. This is
Lago's Oil Conservation Program
that, as a result of an extensive sur-
vey the first part of this year, turn-
ed up 146 separate recommendations
for curtailing oil losses for a total
yearly savings of $250,000 nearly
Fls. 500,000!
The bulletin pointed out that many
of these ideas could have come from
observant employees who would have
realized money-in-the-pocket CYI
awards. Ideas turned up in the sur-
vey were big. One improving separa-
tor operations is saving the com-
pany $67,500 a year that's nearly
FIs. 127,000 annually. Had the sur-
vey people been eligible for CYI
awards, someone would have bene-
fitted greatly. Many of the ideas
curtailing oil losses were not as
grandiose but, nevertheless, resulted
in savings running into the thou-
sands.
Investigating the area of oil con-
servation is an example of the kind
of thinking the CYI people are try-
ing to promote.

Glassblowing Is Art
Glassblowing is an art that dates
back to Biblical times, but it's still
being put to good use in oil company
laboratories. Scientific glassblowers
blow, shape, and assemble intricate
flasks, tubes, and other laboratory
equipment ranging in size from
needle-like slivers to crystal mazes
of tangled columns and towers large
enough to fill an entire room.
These apparatuses are specially
blown to the specific requirements of
oil researchers who use them to
develop the newest and more effi-
cient processes, which eventually
supply the public with the best pro-
ducts at the lowest possible prices.

LAGO SPORT PARK


The most outstanding athlete in Lago Sport Park's Twentieth Queen's
Birthday Olympiad was Herman Hope, who tossed the discus and shotput
the farthest, pole vaulted the highest, jumped farthest and highest and
did a creditable job of heaving a javelin. For his prowess on the athletic
field he was awarded the appropriate "Most Outstanding Athlete" trophy.
Witnessing and cheering the varied athletic contest was an enthusiastic
crowd. The event, commemorating the Queen's birthday each year, has
been one of the park's outstanding attractions for two decades. Year in
and year out, it is a standing-room-only event with the grandstand filled
to overflowing and latecomers massed three and four deep around the
park's boundary fencing.
This year some seven thousand persons attended the April 29 contests.
They saw champion Hope break three records. His pole vault of ten feet,
nine inches beat last year's mark by three inches; he put the shoL
forty-five feet, five and one-half inches--four feet, seven and a half inches
farther than anyone had ever done before and he threw the discus 119
feet, eleven inches to beat'last year's record by six and one half inches.
Other record breakers were Ramon Sharpe whose winning javelin throw
of 168 feet, three and one-half inches topped last year's toss by an out-
standing twenty-three feet, two inches!
By covering 100 yards in ten seconds
flat, E. Concepcion of CuraCao chopped
six tenths of a second off last year's per-
formance then established another Sport
Park record by running the 220-yard
dash in :21.5 seconds, a second and a
half better than the previous mark.
Two records also fell in the cycling
events. S. De Graaf whizzed around the
half-mile circuit and beat his class A
competitors with a winning time of
1:15.4 which was :1.6 seconds better
than the old mark. The nine-mile cycle
race laurels went to G. Wong who flash-
ed across the finish line after twenty-six
minutes, twenty seconds of pedal-push-
ing. This was thirty-five seconds better
than the previous record.


IN THE three cycle races he entered, G. Wong, abo
center, placed one, two and three. That's pedal pushing

Lago's picnic grounds Sunday, May 8 all having a good time in

that these were not four-footed felines but, instead, energetic mem-

Netherlands Antilles. They were in Aruba for the Seventh Lions

In the May 7 issue of the Aruba

AIR


Society

In recent years we who live in
Aruba, either as citizens or as long-
time residents, have seen a rapid
growth of the kind of institution that
brings people together into active
groups. The autonomy Aruba achiev-
ed five and a half years ago has been
one reason for this. So has the steady
rise in population.
The result has been a more fully
developed community. We have mov-
ed steadily toward more youth cen-
ters, sports clubs, social groups, cul-
tural societies and organizations that
are concerned with the general wel-
fare of the island.
A list of organizations that were
not in existence ten or fifteen years
ago would be a long one, and many
of these are most important to
Aruba's progress. At the same time
older organizations have grown in
size and activity. New and old, these
groups contribute in many ways to-
ward a healthy society, both in what
they accomplish for their community
and in filling people's need for close
association with others in a group.

Requirements
I would like to talk tonight about
one of the requirements that all this
activity brings about. This is the
pressing need for leadership.
Every group of the kind I have
been talking about needs leaders, and
the quality of those leaders more
than anything else determines
whether the group is active and suc-
cessful or is just limping along, sur-
viving but not accomplishing much.
What I will have to say about lea-
ders and leadership applies not only
to clubs and committees, of course.
Good leadership is demanded in prac-
tically every aspect of living in
government, in business, in almost
any human activity short of a quiet
conversation between two friends.
The qualities of a good leader are
pretty much the same, though,


Needs


Logo Hour Message
The following Logo Hour mes-
sage was given earlier this week
by B. Teagle, manager of Lago's
Public Relations Department, over
Radio Victoria.

whether the leadership is of a group
of men on a job, or a group of Boy
Scouts being taught how to tie
knots, or a group of men and women
trying to solve some community pro-
blem.

Different Leaders
The chairman of a committee for
advancing tourism is a leader; the
captain of a Little League baseball
team is a leader; the coach of a
girls' volleyball team is a leader; a
frere working with his boys club on
a woodworking project is a leader;
a YMCA instructor directing a class
in umpiring is a leader. There are
many hundreds of leaders in Aruba,
in hundreds of different kinds of ac-
tivities.
Let us take a moment to see what
kind of qualities these people need to
be successful in guiding the activi-
ties of others. How do men or wo-
men, boys or girls, get out in front
and stay there?
One of the main characteristics is
that a leader has high standards. He
raises the aim, both for himself and
for the group he leads. He loves high
quality and he strives for it. He
keeps a clear vision of the results
that might be achieved if the aim is
set high enough.
A leader is dependable. He keeps
all his promises. His dependability
not only is necessary for his func-
tion as a leader, but sets an example
for others to follow.
He must have a large measure of
self-confidence. He will consider ad-


Leaders

trained himself out of the fear of
making mistakes.
A leader needs courage, and faith
in himself. He needs initiative, a
driving force within himself. He can-
not simply start the ball rolling and
then relax. He must have enthusiasm
to inspire the interest of others, but
at the same time he needs self-con-
trol and moderation when these are
called for.
He needs to drill himself in facing
disagreeable tasks. A philosopher
once said we should do something
occasionally for no other reason than
that we would rather not do it.
Especially and above all else a
leader must be able and willing to
accept responsibility. Whatever the
enterprise youth work, club work,
committee work it is the leader's
responsibility to see that it goes for-
ward. Leadership calls for hard work,
often for long hours of extra work,
and for a large measure of self-
sacrifice.

Rewards
At the same time the rewards of
leadership, particularly in commu-
nity work, may be small. It is some-
times a thankless task, with little
recognition. But there are other sa-
tisfactions: in being out ahead of the
crowd...... in being looked up to by
others...... in using one's abilities to
the fullest...... in the clear know-
ledge of making an important contri-
bution to the well-being of the com-
munity. These satisfactions are not
small, and are enough to sustain the
truly dedicated leader in his tasks.
Choosing to become a leader if
one has the necessary qualities is
not easy. But Aruba has great need
of more leaders, and it is a choice I
hope many of our people will make.
The future of Aruba is dependent
to a large extent on the number and


vice, but will act on what his mind quality of those who will accept the
tells him is right. He must have responsibilities of leadership.

Sociedad Necesito Liderazgo


Den anjanan reciente nos cu ta
biba na Aruba, sea como ciudadano
of como residentenan di hopi tempo,
por a mira un crecemento rapido di
e sorto di institution cu ta trece
hendenan hunto den gruponan active.
E autonomia cu Aruba a consegui
cinco anja y mei pas. tabata un
motibo di esaki. E crecemento con-
stante di poblacion ta otro motibo.
E resultado ta un comunidad mas
plenamente desaroy6. Nos a consegul
mas y mas centronan juvenile, club-
nan di deported, gruponan social, so-
ciedadnan cultural y organizacion-
nan cu ta preocupi nan mes cu bien-
estar general di e isla.
Un list di organizacionnan cu no
tabata exist diez of diez-cinco anja
pas& lo ta uno basta largo, y hopi
di esakinan ta di importancia pri-
mordial pa progress di Aruba. Na
mes tempo, organizacionnan mas
bieuw a crece den tamanjo y activi-
dad. Nobo y bieuw, e gruponan aki
ta contribui den hopi modo pa logra
un comunidad fuerte, tanto den loke
nan ta logra pa nan comunidad mes
como den sentido cu nan ta satisfac6
necesidad di hendenan pa asociacion
intimo cu otronan den un grupo.

Requirimento
Awe nochi mi kier a papia tocante
un di e requirimentonan cu tur e ac-
tividad aki ta trece. Esaki ta e ne-
cesidad urgente pa liderazgo.
Cada grupo di e sorto cu mi ta
papiando tocante dje tin mester di
liders, y e calidad di e lidernan aki
- mas cu cualkier otro cos ta
determinA si e grupo ta active y tin
exito of solamente ta tene, kedando
na bida, pero sin logra much.
Loke mi tin di bisa tocante liders
y liderazgo no ta aphcA solamente
na club y comitenan, naturalmente.
Bon liderazgo ta word demand den
practicamente tur respect di bida -
den gobierno, den negoshi, den casi


tur actividad human fuera di
versacion keto entire dos amigo.


con-


Caliaaanan ai un bon liler en gen-
eral ta practicamente similar, sea cu
e liderazgo ta pa un grupo di hende
na trabao of un grupo di padvin-
der cu ta sinja con ta mara konopi -
of un grupo di homber y muhernan
tratando pa soluciona problemanan
di comunidad.

Sorto Di Liders
E president di un comite pa pro-
move tourism ta un lider; e captain
di un equipo di baseball den Little
League ta un lider; e coach di e
equipo di volleyball femenina ta un
lider; un frere trahando cu su club
di much homber ariba obra di man
ta un lider; un instructor di YMCA
cu ta dirigi un klas di umpires ta un
lider. Tin varies cientos di sorto di
liders na Aruba, den cientos di dife-
rente sorto di actividad.
Laga nos tuma un moment pa
mira ki sorto di calidadnan e hende-
nan aki mester pa nan tin exito den
direction di actividadnan di otro. Con
homber y muher, much homber y
much muher, ta sali adilanti y ta
keda adilanti?
Un di e caracteristiconan principal
ta cu un lider ta mantene standard
halto. E ta hiza e meta, tanto pa su
mes como pa e grupo cu e ta guia. E
ta stima calidad halto y e ta lucha
pa atene'le. E ta tene un vista claro
ariba e resultadonan cu por word
logra si e meta worde poni bastante
halto.
Un lider ta un hende di confianza.
E ta cumpli cu tur su promesanan.
Su calidad di confianza no solamente
ta necesario pa su function como un
lider, pero ta pone un ehemplo pa
otro sigui.
E mester tin un grado halto di
confianza den su mes. E ta consi-
dera conseho, pero ta actuA segun su
mente ta bise'le ta bon. E mester a


entrena su mes te cu e no ta sinti
temor pa compete error.
Un lider tin mester di curashi, y
fe den su mes. E tin mester di ini-
clativa, un forza empujante dentro di
su mes. E no por cuminza un cos y
despues sosega. E mester tin entu-
siasmo pa inspire interest di otro,
pero na mes tempo e mester di con-
trol propio y moderacion unda esaki
ta necesario.
E mester entrena su mes pa en-
frentA tareanan desagradable. Un fi-
losofo a yega di bisa cu nos mester
haci algo de vez en cuando pa nngun
otro motibo sino pasobra nos lo a
prefer di no hacie'le.

Responsabilidad
Specialmente, y sobre todo, un li-
der mester ta capaz y dispuesto pa
aceptA responsabilidad. Kiko cu e
empresa tA trabao juvenile, activi-
dad di club of di comision -ta res-
ponsabilidad di e lider pa mira cu e
ta progress. Liderazgo ta requeri
trabao duro, hopi vez ora largo di
trabao extra, y un grado halto di
sacrificio propio.
Na mes tempo e premionan pa 1i-
derazgo, particularmente den trabao
di comunidad, por ta muy poco. Tin
ora e ta un trabao malagradecido, cu
poco reconocimento.
Pero tin otro satisfaction: ser ade-
lante di e gran multitud...... e hecho
cu otro ta reconoc6 bo como tal......
e uso di bo abilidadnan plena-
mente...... e saber distinto di ta haci
un contribution important na biene-
star di e comunidad. E satisfaccion-
nan aki no ta chikito, y ta bastante
pa sosten6 e lider berdaderamente
dedica den su tareanan.
E decision pa bira un lider si
un hende tin e calidadnan necesario
- no ta facil. Pero Aruba tin ne-
cesidad grand pa mas liders, y mi
ta spera cu esaki ta un decision cu
hopi di nos hendenan lo haci.
