employees have worked approximat-
ely 5.950,000 manhours free of dis-
abling injuries
This record closely approaches the
refinery's all-time record of 6,520,829
manhours and is partly responsible
for the Technical Service Depart-
ment's current record of 8,450.000
manhours free of disabling injuries,
TSD-Engneering employees are
far from being desk-bound. Person-
nel make frequent trips to work loc-
ations and are exposed to the same
hazards as other refinery employees.


Department; N. J. Drlebeek, A. E.
Leslie, N. L. Jacobs and I. R. Broz
of the Technical Service Department;
Dr B. Dalhnijsen of the Medical De-
partment, and A. J. Casall of the
Process Department.
Some exceptionally fine photo-
graphic studies were submitted by
fifty-nine photographers. Their en-
tries produced new results in Lago
calendar judging The 1962 Lago ca-
lendar will be the first one to have
photographs by two young ladies, in
this instance M:ss Jacobus and Miss
Joseph; the latter, incidentally, is al-


so a repeater. Miss Joseph had a
prize winning entry included in the
1960 calendar. Mr. Casali had three
transparencies selected as prize win-
ners, and became the first photo-
grapher to have more than two en-
tries selected. Di. Dalhuisen had two
entries selected as winners.
The Public Relations Department
has conducted four calendar con-
contests. It is an interesting fact
that although the personnel rolls are
smaller today than at the time of
the previous contests, the number of
entrants and entries are only slightly
less Contests were held for the 1955,
1959 and 1960 calendars. For the
1959 calendars there were 68 entrants
and 771 slides. Participants for 1960
calendar consideration numbered 69
and their slides 775. This year the
59 entrants submitted 728 transpar-
encies, which can be construed as a
noteworthy interest in photography
and the La.o calendar
Fls 100 was awarded for each win-
ning entry The awards were made
by R W. Schlageter, acting public
relations manager at a special lunch-
eon June 30 in honor of the calendar
winners
As has always been the case, the
photographers in Lago's employee
body are keen craftsmen and crafts-
women Subject matter was varied,
and ranged fai, and v'ide. Nothing
seems to have escaped the eyes and
lens of the roving photographers It
also appears that nary a nook of the
island of Aruba has not been photo-
graphed, either. Judging the 728
transperencies was not easy, so
many of the entries were excellent.
Only two persons submitted one
slide, six sent in two slides and
three submitted three slides. The
high was fifty-eight entries, and the
average ran between fifteen and
twenty-five slides Of the three who
submitted three slides, two were win-
ners. Dr. Dalhuijzen entered three
and two won prizes Mr. Jacobs had
one of the thi e he submitted select-
ed
Subjects of the winning entries
cover the cunucu. the coast, boats,
fishermen, divi-divi, and, of course,
one of Aruba's beautiful sunsets.
The pictures were chosen on the
basis of the technical qualities with
reproduction a prime consideration,
appeal, beauty, storytelling aspect,
composition, degree of color, nature
of subject and softness and warmth
These are some of the requirements
a calendar picture must have to
withstand the extremely critical test
of being viewed for one solid month
without relief

Interests of Employees

Must Be Represented
Webster says that representation means acting in behalf of a certain
interest in a legislative body. He also states in his famous dictionary
that the word means the reproduction of an image or likeness. There
are other definitions for the word representation, but these two have
a definite bearing on the subject of the day at Lago.
Soon, Lago employees will go to the polls to select the bargaining
group they wish to represent their views. There's that word again --
represent. The group the majority of valid voters select has the res-
ponsibility of representing the interests of its constituents. It must
take the image of desires collectively expressed by the Lago employees
it represents and truthfully and factually present it to management.
Any union of workers is not morally qualified to represent those
workers if it does not present their interests for management consider-
ation. It's what the workers want that counts not what the union
officers want. To be sure, conflicting interests can arise between con-
stituents and those delegated to manage the union. But in the end, it
is the total interests of the employees that must he represented at the
bargaining table.
These thoughts should be carefully considered by all employees who
have a vote in the coming election. Will my wants, my desires, my
grievances be represented or will I be governed without a voice in that
government? Does this group for which I cast my vote pledge itself to
represent only the interests of its constituents? Will it be a responsible
body? Do I stand to gain or lose?
The responsibility of any group that represents Lago's employee
force is a great one. Too, it is every employee's responsibility to make
sure his valid vote is cast for the group that will give him the repre-
sentation he desires. It's his vote to cast however he chooses, but he
must be sure that the choice he makes is the choice that's right for
him, his company and his community.



Interest di Empleadonan

Mester Worde Representd
Webster ta bisa cu representation ta nifica actuacion na number di
un cierto interest den un cuerpo legislative. El ta bisa tambe den su
famoso diccionario cu e palabra ta nifica reproduccion di un imagen of
aparecido. Tin mas definition pa e palabra representation, pero e dos-
nan aki tin un relacion definitive cu e t6pico del dia na Lago.
Pronto empleadonan di Lago lo bai urna electoral pa select e grupo
negociativo cu nan kierpa represents nan punto di vista. Ata e palabra
atrobe represent. E grupo cu e majoria di votadornan vAlido select
tin e responsabilidad di represent e interesnan di su constituyentenan.
E mester tuma e imagen di deseonan colectivamente expresA door di
empleadonan di Lago cu e ta represent y present nan exactamente y
veridicamente na directive.
Ningun sindicato di trahadornan ta moralmente cualificA pa repre-
senta e trahadornan si e no ta present nan interesnan pa consider-
acion di directive. Ta loke e trahadornan ta desea ta conta no loke
oficialnan di e sindicato ta desea. Seguramente, por result conflict
di interest entire constituyentenan y esnan delega pa govern e sindi-
cato. Pero al final, ta e interesnan total di empleadonan cu mester
worde represents na mesa di negociacion.
E ideanan aki mester word consider cuidadosamente door di tur
empleadonan cu tin voto den e election cu ta bini. Mi deseonan, necesi-
dadnan y kehonan lo worde represents of lo mi worde goberna sin voz
den e gobierno? E grupo pa cual mi ta tira mi voto ta compromete su
mes pa represent unicamente interesnan di su constituyentenan? E lo
ta un cuerpo responsible? Lo mi tin di perde of gana ?
E responsabilidad di cualkier grupo cu ta represents empleadonan di
Lago ta grand. Tambe, ta responsabilidad di cada empleado pa ser
segur cu su voto valido ta worde tira pa e grupo cu ta dune'le e re-
presentacion cu el ta desea. E ta su voto pa tira con cu el ta haya bon,
pero el master ta segur cu e selection cu el haci ta esun cu ta bon pe.

June t was a very special aay to
Honored that day at a management
Lago service were Luis B. Kock, p;
I; Amias 0. van Heyningen, chamb
fitter A. The four long-service men


tion, yard and pipe crafts.
The service histories, and personal
anecdotes, of all four men were rela-
ted by G. L. MacNutt, Mechanical
Department superintendent. Thirty-
year service certificates and emblems
were presented the four by Vice Pre-
sident W. A. Murnay who gave each
his personal congratulations.
Mr. MacNutt said that all of Mr.
Kock's thirty years had been spent
in the paint craft. He came to Lago
April 10, 1931, as a painter. He prev-
iously had been employed at the
Eagle Refinery. In 1938 he advanced
from painter C to painter B and was
promoted to painter A, his present
position, in March, 1939. "Mr Kock
has seen many changes in paint tech-
niques," Mr. MacNutt related, "es-
pecially in the tank farm where he is
now employed" He went on to cite
such innovations as the "giraffe" and
pressure rollers which make some
jobs easier to do than in the past and
improve the quality of the work. Mr.
MacNutt added that Mr. Kock, who
has a large family, has one son in the
instrument craft and a daughter em-
ployed at Lago Hospital.

Reliable Employee
Mr. MacNutt next cited the excel-
lent driving record of Mr. Briesen and
praised his reliability over the years
Mr. Briesen joined Lago April 18,
1929, as a painter and moved to the
pressure stills in 1932 as a still clean-
er. He left Lago for a short period
in 1943 and returned as a painter.
Three years later he transferred to
Mechanical-Transportation as a labor
helper B. He was promoted to driver
I in 1947. Mr. MacNutt mentioned
that Mr. Bnesen has a larger than
usual family of thirteen children.
In relating the history of Mr. Van
Heyningen, Mr. MacNutt mentioned
that the thirty-year-award recipient
would retire July 1. "We are pleased
that we could present you with your
thirty-year button before that time,'
Mr. MacNutt added. Mr. Van Hey-
ningen started at Lago Sept. 30, 1929,
as a laborer in Process-Pressure
Stills. In 1937 he went to the paint
craft as a laborer and later transfer-
red to Process-Utilities in 1940. He

Sr. MacNutt despues a cita e ex-

cu e recipienie aki lo retira Juli 1.
"Nos ta masha content cu nos por

work for Lago and I am hopeful for
the company's welfare in the future
Mr. Briesen said he thought he ha'l
worked well for Lago. He told how he
had driven locomotives for Chicago
Bridge at Dakota before? joining Lago
and ended with the remark that he
hoped that one day one of his child-
ren could find employment with the
company
Mr. Kock remarked that he looked
back with satisfaction on his thi ty
years with Lago. "I also treasure the
friendships that I've made with my
supervisors. Differences of opinion
have occurred, true, but all in all I
have had good relationships

ainter A; Benedicto Briesen, driver
erman, and Carlos B. Angela, pipe-
represented the paint, transporta-


went to Mechanical-Yard as a clean
out helper C in 1942 and ultimately
was promoted to still cleaner A in
1944. Mr Van Heyningen was pro-
moted to chamberman in 1945 Mr.
Van Heyningen recalled that in the
early days coke had to be cleaned
out by hand chipping. "There were no
air guns then. It was very hot work."
Mr. Angela joined Lago Nov. 19,
1929, as a Mechanical-Yard laborer
and later transferred to the pipe craft
in 1933. He became a pipefitter C in
1937, pipefitter B in 1944 and pipe
fitter A, his present position, in 1915.
"He's a mighty good pipefitter," Mr
MacNutt said, "and an easy man to
get along with. Both abilities are im-
portant. Mr. Angela has put a lot of
pipe together over the years and a
lot of oil has run through that pipe !
What has been important to Lago is
that employees like Mr Angela saw
to it that pipe was put together right
in the beginning"
In reply to Mr. Mui ay's custom-
ary invitation to remark on their
service careers, all four gave shot
comments Mr Angela told how they
moved pipe by muscle power in the
old days. "Now we do it with ma-
chines and it makes the work easier "
Mr. Van Heymngen said he was
thankful for having had thirty years
of Lago employment and that he con-
sidered it a great privilege. "Some-
times it was hard work in the towers
and units but I am thankful the work

DURING THEIR brief visit to Aruba June 19 and 20, eleven members of
New York City's Desk and Derrick Club toured Lago's refinery.
DURANTE NAN bishita cortico na Aruba Juni 19 y 20, diez-un miembro
di Desk & Derrick Club a haci tambe un bishita na refineria di Lago.


The girls are all members of an
organization of women employed in
all branches of the petroleum indus-
try and in allied industries in the
United States The New York City
branch has 400 members who ieple-
sent sixty companies.
Aruba offered the visitors a tour
of Lago's refinery since it is one of
the club's aims to educate its mem-
bers on various phases of the oil in-
dustry They came to Aruba after a
visit to Shell In Curacao and left lor
the Maracaibo oil fields. The girls,
office workers and annuitants of oil
companies, airived June 19 and left
June 20. They toured Lago June 10
and were the company's luncheon
guests at the Esso Club


AFTER THEIR tour, a complete one for these office workers and an-
nuitants of the oil industry, the girls had a luncheon at the Esso Club.

Unifs Serve Physicians


Clinical

The basic will and desire for a
full and healthy life has ele-
vated medicine to a plane unequal-
led in the history of mankind. Me-
dicine continually seeks and
achieves higher goals. Two of its
significant arms are Lago Hospital
and the Employee Medical Center
where physicians are dedicated to
arresting and eradicating disease.
In order to fight and cure a dis-
ease, the physician must identify
the enemy-the bacteria or change
in body processes that cause the
illness. This is known as diagnosis.
With this knowledge he can select
the drugs and medicines to effect
a cure.
The Medical Department's clinical
laboratories are highly important
aids to the physician in helping
him arrive at a diagnosis and con-
trolling treatment. Ten long-service
laboratory technicians and assist-
ants form the nucleus of this in-
dispensible medical function. With
service careers ranging from the
twenty-five years of Chief Techni-
cian J. R. Howdeshell to Lab As-
sistant Carla Oduber's five and a
half years, these technicians utilize
proven laboratory techniques and
modern equipment to give physi-
cians an accurate picture of his
patient's physical condition.
A brief inspection of a clinical
laboratory presents a picture of
personnel deeply engrossed in both
routine and noncommonplace lab
procedures. Their work comes un-
der three general classifications -
prophylactic or guarding against
disease, diagnostic and therapy or
treatment control.
When the technician assigned to
the obstetrical section takes a few
drops of blood from an expectant


mother's finger he is engaged in
prophylactic laboratory tests. The
physician wants to know the ex-
pectant mother's blood type, red
cell count or hemoglobin makeup.
This helps him protect the patient's
health through pregnancy and de-
livery, and protects the newborn
child's health.
Blood counts and blood typing
are also important diagnostic aids
to the physician. Without the in-
vention of the microscope, red cell,
white cell, hemoglobin and white
cell differential counts would not
be possible. With the microscope,
the technician sees cells, invisible
to the naked eye, magnified 1000
times. Just eighty-five human red
blood cells would barely cover the
period at the end of this sentence.
Imagine, too, identifying the bacte-
ria that causes strep throat when
it would take a single layer of 800
Streptococci to cover an Esso News
period.
Blood Count
A blood count of white cell dif-
ferential may unmask a case of
acute appendicitis. Discovery of a
low hemoglobin count may save a
patient from being physically or
mentally crippled as hemoglobin is
the blood's oxygen-carrying cell.
Anemia is revealed through a red
cell count. Many other clues from
blood counts assist the physician in
his diagnosis.
If the physician wants to know
the chemical determination of the
blood then the technician must take
a larger quantity of venus blood
from the arm and do a blood che-
mistry to reveal exact contents in
the blood of such things as sugars
or cholesterol.


Blood typing is a precautionary
check. Human beings have one of
four types of blood 0, A, B or
AB with Rh positive or negative
factors. If a transfusion is needed
during an operation the patient
gets his type or the universal type
O. About half the population has
type O blood. To type blood, the
technician takes a few drops of
blood from the patient's finger and
mixes two drops each with an anti-
A serum and an anti-B serum. If
the blood agglutinates (forms
clumps) with the anti-A serum, the
patient has type A blood. If not,
then it is a process of elimination
with the other serum.
Along with the blood tests, the
greater part of lab diagnostic work
is concerned with urinalysis. Kid-
ney function can be indicated
through specific gravity and pro-
tein tests. Diabetes may be revealed
through tests for sugar content in
the urine and infections through
sediment content or bleeding. These
two diagnostic tests make up the
majority of 10,000 tests performed
monthly at the two clinical labora-
tories.
Other normal body excretions
form samples for bacteriological
tests. The physician, for example,
has a patient with a throat infec-
tion. He asks the lab to identify the
bacteria "trouble makers" by ex-
amining a mucous sample from the
throat. This brings into play the
lab's technique of actually planting
and growing bacteria present in the
sample, if any, through the use of
small glass plates, a special gelatin
and an incubator.
On the bottom of the serile glass
plate, affixed with the gelatin, the

Lago's Bunkering

Barge Overhauled
In the days of Lago's sizeable lake tanker fleet,
the marine railway dry dock was continually in use.
As soon as one tanker came off, another would be
positioned to take its place. The dry dock system
now is principally used for general inspections of
Lago's tugs and large barges.
After six weeks in dry dock, Lago's bunkering
barge was eased off its marine railway supports
June 8. During the interim, employees representing
every Mechanical Department Zone 3 craft worked
the 150-foot-long barge over from bow to stern.
There were boilermakers and welders, carpenters,
riggers, machinists, pipefitters, electricians, instru-
mentmen and even divers involved in the annual
barge turnaround. A bow section was removed and
replaced, bulkhead and hull leaks were patched,
pump and winch engines were overhauled, deck and
hull upper sections were painted and new anodes for
cathodic hull protection were installed. The rigging
