Garage Mechanic Awarded

FIs. 1450 for May CYI
The largest Coin Your Idea award this year was paid to M. J. Gar-
rido, garage mechanic A in Mechanical-Garage, for an idea accepted in
May. Mr. Garrido received Fls. 1450 for the acceptance of his sug-
gestion to eliminate worn and broken studs on light crane axle shaft
hubs by notching the shaft and welding cleats on the hub to fit these
notches. In addition, Mr. Garrida'3
idea was named the May CYI-of-the- for important turnaround assign-


Month.
In the past, hub studs had to ab-
sorb torque loads transmitted from
the axle through the hub to the
wheel. This caused accelerated wear
on the stud threads and even caused
studs to fail. When any of the six
cranes experienced this trouble it had
to be taken out of service, the stud
holes tapped or rethreaded to the
next largest size and larger studs in-
stalled. In addition to extra main-
tenance, the crane was not available


ments.
Mr. Garrido's solution was to take
the strain off the studs and place it
on the mating cleat and notch ar-
rangement. The hub cleats that fit
in the shaft's notches absorb the
load and travel shock. Mr. Garrido's
sizeable award was based on main-
tenance savings and reduction of
down-time on the cranes which leads
to greater utilization of the machines.
During the month of May, a total

tidor tin un gran golfo di diferencia.

June 17, 1961


Today, June 17, is the deadline for submittal of petition forms for
the representative election. At this day's close the lines will have been
drawn for the pending contest. It appears that only two organizations
will contest the right to represent Lago employees. The selection
nevertheless, will not be easy. Between the contending organizations
lies a wide gulf of difference
Lago employees are entering a period of thought that will culminate
in decision. This period, between now and the Aug. 1 and 2 elections
will be filled with thought provoking and influencing material emanat-
ing from the representative organizations seeking supporters. Lago
employees will be buffeted by protestations and promises. Rather than
be at the mercy of the torrent of claims, employees should inspect and
select. Foundations that give rise to statements must be examined in
minute detail.
Choice, whether material or philosophical, should be decided by wis-
dom and need. A material purchase is made when that which is most
needed and best suited is found. The choice at election is not patently
material, but what is being selected is a mode of operation, an ideol-
ogy. These, and just as unequivocally as a material thing, should be
selected as best suited to fit the needs of the electors, in this case
those to be represented.
Facing Lago employees is not only the choice of representatives,
but the form of representation they advocate. Which offers a better
solution to the problems of intelligent representation? Which can deal
realistically and knowingly with the problems of Lago employees,
Lago and Aruba? These arc questions Lago employees must answer
for themselves. Their decision will bear heavily on the economic and
work stability of the island Aruba is small; what affects one either
directly or indirectly affects almost all others. There is no disassocm-
tion, no living apart; we are all one.
A prime consideration of representation must be the ability to
understand local problems. Representatives must know exactly what
the problem is and how it will affect their people in people the repres-
entatives have not only the constituents, but the constituents' families
and community. Representatives, and the type representation that
dictates their actions, must be well aware of and accede to the special
interests and situations involved. Their dictums should not be arbitrary
and rigid, but rather they should be developed and shaped to fit the
considerations of Lago employees and Aruba.
The representatives and the type representation selected by Lago
employees should be dedicated to the principle that their purpose is to
operate in a manner that will better the economic and work conditions
of constituents. It should be an aggressive but not combative organi-
zation. Discord's remedy is better sought in clear thinking, tempered
discussions than in demonstrations.
The choice is with the employees who vote, and every employee
should. It's their decision, and those who vote will make it. Before
Lago employees vote. however, before they reach the moment of dec-
ision, they should have pondered, and pondered well, the consider-
ations posed here. They should have answered the many questions in
their own minds. Their decision at the polls Aug. I and 2 is a weighty
one. A future mode of representative dealings is in the balance.
There is time to reason, to listen, to read, to decide Six weeks remain
before the election Time affords ample opportunity for the represent-
ative organizations to explain their programs The interim period
affords the even more important opportunity for Lago employees to
decide which type of representation best fits their needs and those of
the company and community.

All Achievers must purchase at

This automatically makes the young-

The Lago-sponsoled JA company
has selected a novel hurricane lamp
as its product and is cuiently In-
volved in purchasing materials nec-
essaly for its manufacture. This is
another aspect of learning by doing.
JA companies must first raise capital
through sale of shares in their com-
panies in order to have funds foi
law materials, office supplies, wages
and other costs of doing business
With the help of advisers, Achievels
select the product or service they
wish to market, elect officers, lease

carefully controlled so that stock
purchasers can get a return on their

Junior Achievement was selected
as a project of the Aruba Society
for Mental Health about a year and
a half ago. At that time T. F Ha-
gerty, society treasurer, presented
the project to the Rotary Club for
I their consideration Several months
later the Rotary Club agreed to fin-
ance the start of Junior Achievement
in A uba and Mr. Hagerty was named
chairman of the advisory board
Serving with him are M S. Kuiperi,
secretary, and C M. Whitfield, treas-
urer. Mr. Kuppern is head of Aruba's
Tourist Bureau and Mr. Whitfield is
a well-known merchant and chairman
of the Ai uba Chamber of Commerice.
Mr. Hagerty is executive assistant at
Lago.
Named advisory boald nlembels
were F W Switzer. Lago's general
superintendent; I S de Cuba, alder-
man; A M Arends, merchant; Frere
No hbe tus and Frere Edgar, both
heads of Roman Catholic youth or-
ganizations, and Rev J. A Gumbs,
who heads the Wesley Methodist
youth organizations
Advisors to the Oranjestad com-
pany, which is scheduled to have its
first meeting the middle of June and
has yet to pick a company name o0
product, are H M T. Steenhuizen,
chief adviser and sales adviser, A
Pereira of Aruba Trading and I. J
Chin of Lago's TSD-Engineering,
who share the duties of production
adviser, and M H. Hennquez of
Lago's Accounting Department, bus-
mess and financial adviser.
San Nicolas JA advisers are R V.
Dorwart, production adviscie J. J


Halfaker, sales adviser, and A
:Theysen, business and financial ad-
viser. All three are Lago employees
Both Mr. Dorwart and Mr. Halfaker
are in the Technical Service Depart-
ment while Mr. Theysen is in the
Accounting Department.
The two pilot companies will stay
in business until sometime in August
Additional companies established will
operate from September through
July to coincide with the normal
school year. The latter operational
period has been standard with JA
companies. At the end of the normal
operating period, the JA company
must liquidate its assets. The com-
pany sells its inventory of products
and materials, pays all accounts out-
standing and declares a dividend, if
any, to stockholders. This enables
both new and past Achievers to have
fresh starts with new companies at
the start of the next school year.

Capital Goals Set
Both Aruba companies have set
FIs 200 as their goals for working
capital For its hurricane lamps, the
San Nicolas company will purchase
out of capital raised such materials
as lignumi vitae wood, glass chim-
neys, candles and felt and will rent
tools and equipment
In its temporary headquarters in
the San Nicolas business district, the
J A Manufacturing Company has
leased from Lago a circular sav,
drill press, stationary belt sander,
two portable sandeis, two buffing
wheels and assorted hand tools. It
will take about three man hours to
produce a pair of hurricane lamps
The company was scheduled to start
production June 14.

Murray

When I thought about a subject for to-
night's talk, it was only natural that I
should look for a pleasant one.
A subject that I believe fits this specifi-
cation is the achievements of you gentle-
men (representatives), and the gains that
you have made for the employees that you
represent.


Lago Vice President W. A. Murray





Ritfeld


Applauds


Actually, the gains made for Lago em-
ployees by your type of representation in
the last twenty-five years and more es-
pecially in the last ten years stretch out
into far too long a list for much detail in a
talk like this. They cover dozens of areas,
from rates of pay to overtime transporta-
tion; from lengths of vacations to overtime
lunches; from disability benefits to call-out
minimums; from layoff allowances to shift
differentials.
These, and a great many others, are solid,
concrete achievements. Some are the sort
that an employee can see, and feel, every
time he goes to the pay window. Others are
the kind that affect him only when some-
thing special is happening to him, like go-
ing on vacation or being sick or working
overtime. Still another is the fine sports
program that has given real pleasure to so
many thousands.
In all these areas, your achievements
have been noteworthy.
There is another sort of achievement that
is not so obvious, but in the long run it is
probably just as important.
One of the most vital functions of good
representation is to reflect the views of the
constituents. This is pretty much the same
whether we are talking about the British
Parliament, or the United States Congress,
or industrial groups like your own.
You are not free agents. You are bound
to the employees that elected you. They, the
employees, are your big concern. This be-
ing the case, one aspect of your job per-
haps the biggest is to help management
be aware of the thoughts and feelings and
desires of those employees. This is at the
very heart of good representation, and
nearly everything else hinges on it.
The other side of the coin, and one that
cannot be overlooked, is that good repres-
entation acts also in the other direction.
The importance of your influence on your
constituents cannot be minimized. The best


Lii


One year ago at this same type of occasion I
mentioned that it's getting about time for the Lago
Employee Council and its constituents to change
from the LEC type of representation to an indep-
endent labor union.
The reason for this was quite obvious. As time
changes and evolution takes place it will be to the
interest and advantage of the employees to change
their form of representation in order to keep abreast
with the present pace, time and Netherlands An-
tilles laws.
As an example, we will go back a while to note
the changes which were necessary and have taken
place in employee representation at Lago.
In 1936 the company appointed employee repres-
entatives to handle their problems. In 1937 the em-


of representation may often find it neces-
sary to help keep constituents aware of the
"facts of life" of the state-of-health of
the business they are dealing with of
the community of interest that must be
taken into account in many bargaining
situations, when the best interests of the
employees, the company, and the rest of
Aruba must be considered.
In these respects, you act as a bridge,
helping to bring employees and manage-
ment together in areas of agreement and
understanding. Note that I used the word
"bridge." A bridge has to be connected at
both ends or it doesn't go anywhere. With-
out the connections at both ends it would
be in a sort of vacuum.
At the management end, your bridge has
excellent connections, because representat-
ives and management maintain close pers-
onal contact. We see each other frequently;
we talk; we discuss; we bargain. For good
communication and understanding, nothing
beats face to face exchange of thoughts.
This we have at our end of the bridge.
I assure you that close contact at the
other end with your constituents is
equally important, and probably even more
so. I do not mean contact through bulletins,
newspapers and even meetings, though
these are useful and necessary.
There is a saying that "we make one
friend at a time." The best representation,
too, deals with one person at a time. You
may be trying to learn what your con-
stituents are thinking or you may be
trying to let them know what you, as their
representatives, are thinking In either
case, I cannot over-stress the importance
of the personal exchange of thoughts and
the kind of representation that makes such
consideration of the individual possible.
This way lies success. There is no better
way of keeping your efforts concentrated
on what is, after all, your real function -
representing Lago's employees.


;ts Seven

ployees elected their first representatives then
known as the Employee Advisory Committee. We
still have with us B. K. Chand who was elected ever
since. In 1949 a change was again necessary and
the employees elected the body of the LEC to re-
present them. The important change here was from
an advisory group to a bargaining agency.
Now, as a change is again necessary the em-
ployees will again be given the opportunity to elect
a different type of representation they will be
able to elect a bona fide free labor union to repres-
ent them.
The LEC in trying to keep up with the times has
promoted and together with the District Represent-
atives, Special Problems Advisory Committee and
Lago Sport Park Board who represent all the work-
ers, have founded the Independent Oil Workers
Union of Aruba.
The name speaks for itself. It will be completely
independent from the company, from political parties
and international unions. The reason for this policy
is simple we want our members to decide their
actions and their future for themselves without any
interference or pressure directly or indirectly from
"outsiders."
The LEC has done a good job in the past ten
years and our present contract bears this out.
The Independent Union will make sure that the
benefits of the last contract remain in force and
guarantee improvements will be made. Of imme-
diate and primary importance to the Provisional
Board is the present lay-off program, the pension
plan, increase in the cost of living, group life in-
surance and housing. We will propose to the mem-
bers of our Independent Union to tackle this pro-
gram by negotiating with the company among other
things the following proposals:
1. Reduction of the work week with mainten-
ance of earnings.
2. Improvement of the Pension Plan payments.
3. Provisions for a regular income for family
members upon the death of an employee.
4. Opportunity to retire at an earlier age.
5. Financial assistance by the company to en-
courage home ownership with employee freedom to
select the site, model and size of his home.
6. Liberalization of the Thrift Plan.
7. Adjustment to rates of pay to conform with
the increased cost of living.
We are convinced that with a strong, determined

LAGO'S ONLY qualified deep-sea diver, J. van der Biezen of Mechanical-Carpenter, is as-
sisted aboard the diver's barge after freeing several hundred feet of mooring line from
the propeller of an Italian tanker. The diver tender, second photo, J. L. G. Dossett, talks
to the diver over a telephone. The diver is shown descending in the right photos.

Lago Diver Untangles

Tanker's Fouled Prop
A tanker with over two hundred feet of ten-inch mooring line
fouled in its propeller is about as helpless as a red snapper with
its tail caught in a lobster trap. In the case of the Italian tanker
Perseo, the entangled line was about eighteen feet below surface
- a somewhat more complicated situation than "tangles" in a
fish line. Called to assist the Perseo during the late morning
hours of June 5 was the best-suited man at Lago for such a non-
commonplace task.
The trouble-shooter was J. van der Biezen, officially a painter
B in Mechanical-Carpenter. who is also Lago's only qualified
deep-sea diver. He came in the small diving barge, accompanied
by a diver tender and helper, which was secured to the East Pier
near the tanker's stern.
In the barge was an array of equipment designed to keep Mr.
Van der Biezen safe, sound and full of fresh air at working depths
up to forty-five feet. It took the diver tender, J. L. G. Dossett,
about a half hour to dress the diver in his suit, mittens, lead shoes
and belt. When Mr. Van der Biezen stood up he was carrying an
extra 250 pounds of weight. Shoes alone weigh twenty-five pounds.
In the tank of the barge's air compresser was about 150 pounds

more than two hours under, third photo, it's a relief to be free of the helmet. It's all in

Caissons


Positioned


at


Pier


In addition to more than 300 steel piles that have
been hammered into the coral at No. 3 Finger Pier,
four giant caissons have been firmly entrenched near
the south side of the pier's concrete roadway. The
caissons, ninety feet long and six feet in diameter,
were forced into the harbor bottom with a 22,000
pound steam-driven ram May 25.
Each rapid stroke of the free-fall ram meant that
56,000 pounds of energy were breaking the resis-
tance of rock-hard coral. The caissons were position-
ed in pairs to form the foundations for mooring
dolphins. Each of the paired caissons will be filled
with sand, topped with concrete and capped with
massive steel boxes. Regular mooring bollards will
be secured to these caps. Two more caissons are to
be driven on the north side of the pier adjacent to
the pipe trestle. Only one mooring dolphin of this
type is needed on the north side as bollards will be
positioned on the breasting island.
An unusual feature of the caissons is that they
were designed with wall thicknesses varying from
% inch to /L to cope with various stress conditions.
The first H-shaped steel pile was driven last Nov.
16. A total of 340 were driven into the coral.
Another major pier project recently completed was
the concrete work on the breasting island.


WORKMEN ATTACH a twenty-ton pile hammer to
Raymond Concrete Pile's giant crane so that ninety-
foot-long caissons can be rammed deep in the coral
at No. 3 Finger Pier.

of air pressure. This lasts twenty-five
minutes at the eighteen-foot depth
the diver worked. A four-cycle gas-
oline engine is hooked up to the
compressor to refurbish the compres-
sor tank.
Mr. Van der Biezen descended part
way on the barge's diving ladder
before his telephone-equipped deep-
sea helmet was fitted. The face plate
was then secured and for the next
two and one-quarter hours he receiv-
ed his air supply from the air com-
pressor.

Slow Descent
He "swam" away from the barge,
to make his initial descent, by over-
filling his suit with air. When he
reached the site over the propeller,
he let enough air out of his suit to
reach the neutral buoyancy stage.
Another delicate adjustment on the
regulating air escape valve enabled
him to slowly descend to the working
depth. At this point the lead shoes
and lead-weight belt overcame the
buoyancy of his air-filled helmet and
suit.
The rest of the operation, though
hard work and not without its haz-
ards, was relatively uncomplicated.
The diver found that most of the
mooring line could be pulled free
with the aid of the tanker's winch.
A light rope was lowered to the
diver who secured it to the fouled


EACH CAISSON was held in position, above, by res-
tricting arms that jutted from the crane barge. A
22,000 pound single-acting steam ram generates 56,000
pounds of force, right photo, to hammer a caisson deep
into the coral.

line. Some of the line, however,
couldn't be untangled so Mr. Van der
Biezen had to free it with a hatchet.
These pieces fell to the harbor bottom
where they were later retrieved by
the diver.
Mr. Van der Biezen learned his
diving trade from Lago's former
diver, C. Dossett, who is an annuit-
ant. It is not an easy trade to learn.
Mr. Van der Biezen dived several
years under the watchful eye of Mr.
Dossett before he became qualified.
Variety Of Jobs
The diver, helpers and their equip-
ment were formerly assigned to the
old Shipyard. In 1954, the men and
equipment were transferred to Mech-
anical-Carpenter. A Lago diver has
a variety of jobs from time to time.
He looks for lost articles, inspects
pilings and intakes, clears ships'
propellers and does underwater burn-
ing with a cutting torch. Although
Mr. Van der Biezen is Lago's only
qualified deep-sea diver with his
work limited mostly to harbor div-
ing, other Mechanical-Carpenter men
are qualified for shallow-water work.
They clean and inspect the mar-
ine railway and work in the shallows
around docks. No rubber suit is need-
ed for shallow work and the helmet
is supplied air from a hand pump.
On the other hand, equipment for
deep-sea diving costs approximately
$750 for the complete suit outfit.
