Esso Aruba Delivers


Record Crude Cargo

The phrase "they get bigger and bigger" needs no antecedent; its
relation to marine activities is immediate. The reference is not only
to tanker size but also to cargo. The Esso Aruba, a vessel held in high
esteem on these shores, is a striking example.
The majestic giant of the Esso fleet just nine months after her


maiden entry into San Nicolas Har-
bor brought to Lago a record
crude cargo. On Oct. 14, the Esso
Aruba discharged a record crude
cargo of 46,610 tons or 344,035 bar-
rels. The huge cargo of Oficina crude
and Tigre crude was unloaded in
thirteen hours thirty-five minutes at
an average rate of 25,334 barrels an
hour. The Aruba broke discharge
crude haulage records formerly held
by the Esso Switzerland and the
Esso Trinidad.
Oct. 14 was quite a day for goliaths
of oil transportation. Three large
tankers berthed at Finger Piers 1
and 2 totalled 129.262 dead weight
tons. The Esso Aruba, 47,446 dwt,
was at No. 1 south; Tidewater's
Wafra, 46,493 dwt, was berthed at
No. 2 south and the Esso Caripito,
35,323 dwt, was tied up at No. 2
north.
The Wafra carried out some
300,000 barrels of clean product. This
is short of the record set in June of
this year by the Agrigentum. The
Italian tanker had 47,937 tons or
313.285 barrels of fuel oil in her
tanks when she left the harbor.
The Agrigentum is also the larg-
est tanker ever to enter San Nicolas
Harbor. At 817 feet nine inches she

CENSUS REVEALS YOUNG, GROWING POPULATION


Aruba's population is young, and
it is contributing its share to the
earth's population explosion. In
fact, there could be over 100,000
people living in Aruba thirty years
from now These facts are some of
the more important ones revealed in
the extremely comprehensive study
of Aruba's population completed by
Dr. Amos M. Hawley. The basis for
the facts and population projections
is Aruba's first modern census taken
this summer.
Dr. Hawley, professor of sociology
at the University of Michigan and
recognized authority in population
analysis, compiled his report in a
170-page word and graph tome. His
final projections led to the over
100,000 population figure. It's based
on an arbitrary set of assumptions,
of course, but nevertheless proposes
the maximum possibility. His maxi-
mum projection is based on high
fertility, high mortality and no mi-
gration. These assumptions in fact
could produce the figure of 104,048
persons in Aruba in 1990. There are
intermediary projections varying the
assumptions which run from the
maximum population figure to the
lowest at 43,600. This low figure for
1990 assumes low fertility, high mor-
tality and a migration rate compar-


able to the exodus during the years The smallest nationality group list-
1955 through 1960 ed is the Venezuelans with 632
The increase by 1990 would be the persons. Other nationality groups,
entire population, but primarily it too small to identify, are lumped in
reflects Netherland Antillian growth. "other" and total 2108.
Here lies the importance of Dr. Haw- The largest influx of foreign born


ley's findings. The age composition
of other nationalities in Aruba is not
conducive to growth. The Netherland
Antillian's is. The average age of the
Aruban and Netherland Antillian is
less than seventeen, which is very
young and indicative of a growing
population. The population of Aruba
is growing steadily and according to
Dr. Hawley "it is patently clear that
the maintenance of the Aruban po-
pulation at its present size will re-
quire a constant out-flow of popu-
lation."

53,199 Persons
Aruba's population today is 53,199
persons, of which four-fifths are
Netherland Antillians. The total
comprises a multitude of nationali-
ties. Netherland Antillians number
42,430 persons. The second largest
group recorded by census enumera-
tors is the category identified as
"other Netherlanders," which totals
2922 persons. British West Indians
are next with 2633, then United
States' citizens who number 1426.


occurred between 1955 and 1959.
Settling in Aruba during that five-
year period were 2681 persons. Of
the number, 875 were Netherlanders
and 545 from other Caribbean is-
lands. Over half the number of sett-
lers were women, but this is not unu-
sual. It follows a pattern that has
existed for over thirty-five years.
Women settlers still in residence in
Aruba from before 1925 through
1959 outnumber their male counter-
parts 8194 to 4008. The last large
migration was between the years
1945 and 1949. Again, more women
than men of that period reside in
Aruba today
Women seem to be predominate in
all population counts. Of the 42,430
Netherland Antillians, 21,640 are fe-
males. An interesting aspect of the
total Netherland Antillian population
is birthplace, While all are recogniz-
ed Netherland Antillians, only 36,870
were actually born in Aruba. Those


tions for births of the second largest zation of a society. Slightly less than


group of off-island born. Other Neth-
erland Antillians were born in the
United States, Holland, Venezuela
and other countries.
Aruba's 53,199 population equals a
density of 299 persons for each
square kilometer. This density is ex-
ceeded in the Caribbean only by Bar-
bados. For comparison, Suriname has
a density of two and Venezuela a
density of seven. Nevertheless,
Aruba's density, although seemingly
high, is actually modest.
Density Modest
Density figures to be meaningful
must be considered in relation to the
area make-up. In Aruba's instance,
the island must be compared to an
urban development. Aruba's popula-
tion produces virtually none of its
consumer needs thereby creating
huge tracts of unused land. Less
than two-tenths of one per cent of
Aruba's labor force is engaged in
agriculture. There are exactly twen-
ty-eight farmers in Aruba. Four are
women.
The population comprises 10,878
households that range in average


half of all units, 46.5 per cent, are
conventional families of the head,
wife and children. The British West
Indians have the largest single fa-
mily households with 43.6 per cent
of their population in this category.
The proportion of broken families is
greatest in the Netherland Antillian
group. Of their population, there are
11.9 per cent broken families. Of the
entire household population, ten per
cent constitutes broken families, of
which the majority have female
heads.
In conventional families, the Brit-
ish West Indian women score the
largest percentage of family heads
The BWI women list themselves as
head of 34.2 per cent of conventional
families. The Netherland Antillian
women are second listing themselves
as head of 20.9 per cent of conventio-
nal families of that group The larg-
est proportion of male heads of fa-
milies is the United States families
with 94.7 per cent of their number.
The Aruban's attachment to his
home is evident in that over half of
the Netherland Antillians, 57.8 per
cent, own their own homes and

Employees Asked
To Check Discharge
Dates at Hospital
Employees who have family
members in Lago Hospital are
requested to obtain the probable
date their dependents will be dis-
charged. As the date approaches,
employees should check with the
hospital daily to be sure of the
exact day of discharge
This suggestion and request is
made by the Medical Department
to avoid sending the government
police to employee homes with the
message that a family member is
ready to be discharged from Lago
Hospital. A short, quick telephone
call by the employee to the hos-
pital will provide all the neces-
sary information.

R. E. A. Martin welcomed them and thanked
them; Public Relations Manager E. Byington ack-
nowledged their year's efforts; the Esso Dining Hall
forces fed them; Mateo Reyes announced the out-
standing representative in their group; J. B. Wix
and the Sensacion Musical entertained them; and,
all in all, close to one hundred officials and scorers
thoroughly enjoyed the annual party given in their
behalf by the Lago Sport Park Board.
The party was held at the American Legion
Home, as was the affair last year. The festivities
were opened by Mr. Martin, secretary of the Sport
Park Board. In addition to welcoming the officials
and scorers to their party, he thanked them for
contributing a valuable service to the conduct of
sports at the Park. Without the officials and scorers
there would be little organized play at the Sport
Park. Mr Martin assured the volunteer officials and
scorers that their efforts were appreciated and not

just actions taken for granted. He also noted that
their efforts to teach sportsmanship benefited the
development and athletic growth of Aruban youth.
Mr. Byington added his thanks for the activities
of the officials and scorers and also the Lago Sport
Park Board. His reference to the Board included the
fact that it comprises a group of hard working
sportsmen who do a good job.
The most notable spot in the evening's schedule
was the naming of the outstanding official. This
year J. M. Halley of the Storehouse was honored.
Mateo Reyes, president of the Lago Sport Park
Board, presented a gift to Mr. Halley and expressed
the Board's privilege at being able to honor him.
Mr. Halley has officiated softball, baseball and

Forerunner to the wheel was the
method of using a row of smooth logs
over which heavy objects were rolled.
^ .( ~ The Egyptians, for example, used this
method to move giant stone blocks from
quarries to the building sites of the
great pyramids. It worked something
like this: The block was placed on a row
of logs and inched along toward its des-
tination. As the end log of the chain
was uncovered, it had to be laboriously
S carried to the front of the row which, in
effect, presented an endless road of
smooth, round logs. This cumbersome
and slow transport mode served man for
centuries.
Then along came our anonymous gent
with the "thinking head" on his shoul-
ders. From him came the CYI to end all
CYIs. "Why not cut off the end of a log
and then run a smaller log through the
center of this disc?" he ventured. Thus
we had a primitive, but workable, wheel
and axle. As time passed the simple
wheel was modified, changed in design

Completion
S Pictured in the early stages of its
development is the new bunker sta-
tion in Oranjestad. Constructed at an
,i1 estimated cost of $300,000, the ter-
minal will feed fueling stations at any
S one of the four docks in the Oranje-
stad harbor complex.
The project is being constructed in
conjunction with the Aruba island
government's efforts to attract tourist
Ships. The modern bunkering facili-
ties give the harbor flexibility of
service it never had before. Gas oil,
diesel fuel and fuel oil run to each of
the four valve pits at dockside so
that any of the three fuels or blends
may be furnished as bunkers. Fuel
oil will be stored in a 23,200-barrel
tank, the diesel fuel in a 20.300-
barrel tank, and the gas oil in small
6464-barrel tank. The three tanks are
former Lago tanks. In addition to the
S fuel, air lines and water lines run to
the dockside pits. The government
has installed fresh water lines as an
integral part of the bunkering faci-
lities.

Public Works Building, Lago's bun-
Oranjestad kering terminal building will be de-
luraya. (Continlrid on piage 8)

Aruba Population Indicates


Enormous Growth Potential


(Continued from page 1)
oft made statement of "better living
conditions" in Aruba Netherland An-
tillians are not crowded within their
living quarters in Aruba. Their room
density averages less than one per-
son for each room.
In the Caribbean, the percentages
of Aruba's population, while youn-
ger, resemble Jamaica. Three per
cent of the population is over sixty-
five years of age; 53.5 per cent is be-
tween fifteen and sixty-four, and
43.5 per cent is under fifteen. Four
out of every one hundred or 3.6 per
cent of the population are under one
year of age. They are cared for by
housekeepers who represent 17.8 per
cent of the population. These same
housewives also tend another 19.9
per cent of the population their
children between the ages of one and
six. The 9448 housekeepers aided by
1000 paid domestics tend the 10,878
households in Aruba

16,334 Children
There are 16,334 children of school
age, and of this number 78.7 per
cent or 12,941 attend school. The
proportion of Netherland Antillian
children enrolled in school at the mi-
nimum age is low (33.2) compared to
the peak proportion (above 90) of
children between the ages of eight
and twelve. The enrollment declines
after twelve as youngsters discon-
tinue their education in search of
employment An interesting meeting
of proportions is evident at the be-
ginning age of five and the finishing
age of sixteen. Five-year-olds enter-
ing school amount to 33.2 per cent of
the school age population. The pro-
portion goes up in the middle years
and drops to 34.4 per cent at sixteen,
or almost the same proportion as
entering children.
The Netherland Antillian majority
has completed six to seven years of
school. Over thirteen years of formal
schooling have been completed by 5.3
per cent of males and 3.7 per cent of
females. The Venezuelan in Aruba
creates a paradox. Illiteracy is con-
sidered less than four years of
schooling, and is most prevalent
among the Venezuelans. Yet with the
exception of the Netherlander group,
the Venezuelan has the highest
percentage educated beyond thir-
teen years. British West Indian fe-
males have a higher illiteracy rate
than do the males of their group.
The majority of all nationality
groups have six to seven years of
education.

Education Increasing
It is significant and also lauda-
tory to the efforts of Aruba's educa-
tors that education in Aruba has in-
creased dramatically over the past
thirty years. Each youth has achiev-
ed a higher level of education than
did his predecessor. What illiteracy
exists in the Netherland Antillian
group is in forty-year and older per-
sons.
The labor force in Aruba com-
prises 31 per cent of the total popu-
lation, and includes persons fourteen
years of age and older actively en-
gaged in employment, on vacation,
and temporarily unemployed but
available for work. Netherland An-
tillians have the smallest proportion
of their number in the work force,
28.2, while the Surinamers have the
largest proportion, 58.8, of their po-
pulation in the work force. These
differences reflect the age composi-
tions of the nationality groups. The
Netherland Antillian group, it is to
be remembered, has a median age of
less than seventeen for its entire po-
pulation. Of its work force, the An-
tillian median age is 34.8 years foi
males and 29.2 years for females
All other labor forces average around
forty years of age. Although a small
percentage of their total population
is in the work force, the Netherlane
Antillian commands nearly three
quarters or 72.5 per cent of the worn
force itself. The next largest share ir


eight per cent of the work force held
by the British West Indian
The Netherland Antillians are the
youngest and potentially the most
vigorous participants in the labor
force.
The dependency ratio is high in the
Netherlands Antillian group. Using

under age fourteen and sixty-five and
over as dependents, there are ninety
dependents for every one hundred
Netherland Antillians in "economically
active years." No other group has as
large a proportion. Inspecting the
problem from another approach, for
every one hundred Netherland Antil-
lian workers there are 348 Nether-
land Antillian non-workers.
The large dependency ratio in the
Netherland Antillian group is due to
the unemployed. Of the Netherland
Antillian labor force, 21 per cent is
unemployed. Of the total unemploy-
ed in Aruba, 91.3 per cent are Neth-
erland Antillians. Females are un-
employed much more frequently than
males except in the Suriname group
Employment draws more from school
attenders than from the ranks of the
unemployed, pointing up the neces-
sity for education.
Peak employment percentage falls
in the thirty-five to thirty-nine age
group. The lowest incidence is forty-
five to forty-nine. Females reach
their peak employment percentage
between twenty and twenty-four
years, about fifteen years before the
males do. They leave for marriage
and housekeeping after these peak
years, and then around age forty
they return to the labor market. In
number, the largest male worker
force is between twenty and twenty-
nine

Oil Top Employer
The oil industry, as suspected, em-
ploys one-third or 33.1 per cent of all
employed workers. The government
is the next largest employer with 18.7
per cent of employed workers. The
highest percentage of male workers
is in the craftsmen and foremen cate-
gory. The highest percentage of wo-
men workers is found in domestic
service.
The median income for a male wor-
ker who is head of his family and
supports his wife and four children
is Fls. 8630.
The average age for marriage has
not varied appreciably in many years.
In 1910 males married at 26.7 years
and females wedded at 22.9 years.
Forty years later males marry at
27.1 years and females wed at 23.6
years. There is a slight increase over
the 1910 averages, but many of the
intervening years produced averages
below the 1910 figures. There were
over 1900 births in the twelve months
preceding the June 27, 1960, census
date. The birth rate for the Nether-
land Antillian group is approximate-
ly 36.24 for thousand population. Re-
production rate of Netherland An-
tillian women between the ages of
fifty to fifty-four years is 22.41 for
every thousand in their age group,
which is exceptionally high. Repro-
duction reaches its peak in women
between the ages of twenty and
twenty-four.

Growth Potential
The death rate, computed from
statistics gathered in the census, is
21.38 for every thousand of the po-
pulation, which implies a life expec-
tancy at birth of 46.8 years. The
relationship of birth and death rates
in Aruba points to a large rate of
growth of the population. A death
rate of 21.38 and birth rate of 36.24
Should give the population an annual
rate of increase of 14.86 persons for
every thousand of the population. Dr.
Hawley stated: "The Aruban popu-
lation could expect to more than
I double its size in every second gene-
Sration were prevailing rates of ferti-
I lity and mortality to remain as they
- are and were there no migration."
L The high birth rate gives the popu-
I nation enormous growth potential.


Nearly eighty per cent or 79.7 perI
cent of the population is Roman Ca-
tholic. Other affiliations are 15.7 per
cent Protestant, .4 per cent Jew, 2 5
per cent other, and 1.7 per cent none.
The ages and male-female compa-
risons of the major nationality
groups on the island are enlighten-
ing. There are more Netherland An-
tillian women than men. There are
more males, however, between the
ages of forty-five and fifty and at
birth. The large majority of persons
older than seventy-five are women.
The large number of youth equals
the growing population. There are
21,640 females and 20,790 males.
In the Netherlander group, the
males barely outnumber the females
2068 persons to 1902 persons. The
largest percentage of Netherlanders
is between the ages of thirty and
forty years. The smallest age group
is the fifteen to twenty bracket
The Suriname group exhibits an
excess of males, and one of the oldest
work forces. This suggests that main
migration of Surinamers to Aruba
was twenty years ago. There are 580
males and 468 females. The largest
percentage is between thirty-five
and fifty-five years. Above seventy,
the percentages are overwhelmingly
women. The percentage of Suriname
children is small. This validates the
theory that this nationality group
will soon disappear from the Antl!-
Ilan scene. Children of Surinamers
are either living elsewhere or ale
intermarrying and thereby losing
their national identity.
