As Representative Body


Representing the employees of L
gaining considerations will be the
Aruba. The issue of who shall repr
employees was decided in the elect
drew the majority, 1680 votes, and
of Aruba was second with 1384
votes. Eighty-three employees vot2d
for no representation.
The elections were without unto-
ward incident, and adjudged by con-
testing parties as being conducted in
absolute fairness. To this conclusion,
President O. Mingus complimented
the employees, the tellers and the
election board. He expressed his
satisfaction in the employees' ac-
ceptance of the issues before them,
and their response as indicated ini
3147 valid votes cast. The 90 per
cent of eligible voters who partici-
pated in the elections cast, in ad-
dition to their votes, an overwhelm-
ing indication of their interest in
employee representative activities.
The large turnout validated the com-
pany's efforts in having the election
run to ascertain the employees' re-
presentative wishes.
Mr. Mingus further complimented
the tellers for the efficient manner

tron board for overseeing election
activities in an extremely creditable
manner. L. Mansveld was chairman
of the board assisted by H. Oduber
and J. Althuizius.
The workings of the new independ-
ent union swung quickly into action
The provisional board met the day
after the elections and made plans
for a membership drive and general
meeting at which time the perma-
nent board will be elected. The
union's board will also suggest dues,
which, too, will be voted upon by
the membership.
Mr. Ritfeld made these announce-
ments before leaving for the United
States where he is attending a labor
seminar at Cornell University. He
also plans to discuss labor issues
with other labor leaders, and to visit
different industrial sites.

Capital Awards Program

For 1961 Is Announced
Lago employees have nearly five months left to get a seat on the
CYI capital award bandwagon. In past years, Lago management ap-
proved the payment of capital awards at year's end. From now on the
announcement of a capital award program will be made at the start
of the year so that suggesters will have added incentive to submit more


and better ideas. Lago management
also approved the CYI Committee's
proposal that five per cent of all
CYI savings proportionately be paid
to all 1961 capital award winners.
Under the revised CYI Plan, in-
augurated two years ago, an unlim-
ited number of suggesters can qual-
ify for capital awards If a sugges-
tor's CYI awards total Fls. 300 'or
more for the year he automatically
has a share in the capital award
money. He can have twelve Fls 25
awards or any combination of awards
for his ideas as long as they total
Fls. 300 or more. A single award ot
FIs. 300 or more, of course, qualifies
the suggester for a capital award
payment.
By announcing the plan at the
start of a calendar year, Lago man-
agement enables suggesters to start
at once toward qualifying for a cap-
ital award. In addition, the extra
stimulation is expected to increase
the number of suggestions adopted
thus making total company CYI sav-
ings greater for the year The bigger
the capital award jackpot, the bigger


the payments to capital award win-
ners. The amount distributed will be
a percentage, which may vary, of all
company CYI savings resulting from
all ideas adopted during the year.
Last year a total of Fls. 4730 was
proportionately distributed to fifteen
suggesters. The more ideas adopted,
the more company savings, the more
guilders available for capital awards.
An accepted idea counts toward cap-
ital award eligibility in the year it
and supplemental awards, if any,
have been paid.
By announcing the CYI Commit-
tee's recently-accepted proposal at
this time, the company has given
suggesters extra time to boost their
total 1961 awards to the coveted
Fls. 300 figure. Next year, suggesters
will have a full twelve months to
reserve a seat on the capital award
bandwagon.
The formula for capital award pay-
ments has also been announced.
The suggester's share of the cap-
ital award jackpot is proportionate

Tired Out? Take Salt!
The hot season is coming. Its higher temperatures cause unaccustom-
ed loss of salt in the body because of excess perspiration. This loss of
salt can bring about that tired out feeling. The trouble can be over-
come through the use of the proper amount of salt in food or salt
tablets taken any time during the day with plenty of water.
Salt tablets are available free at the Employee Medical Center. Any
employee can get an ample supply by asking for them at the pharmacy
window.
On this subject of good health habits for hot weather, Lago's Mod-
ical Department advises:
1. Use of salt -It is frequently better to take the necessary
amount of salt with food. The salt tablets sometimes tend to be too
much on an empty stomach.
2. The food It should include mostly lean meats and green
vegetables rather than fats, starches (potatoes> and sweets.
3. Alcohol Take it easy on the use of alcoholic beverages during
a heat spell. Lago's medical adviser says that drinking alcohol makes
hot weather worse for us and that it is a medically proven fact that
heat strokes occur mostly after the big-night-out drinking party.
4. Sleep Get plenty of rest.
5. Clothes, bathing Hot weather tends to make us more likely
to get skin infections. So take frequent baths, clean up with plenty of
soap and water and change to freshly laundered clothes daily.

Cansd? Tuma Salo!
E temporada di calor ta bini. Su temperature mas halto ta causa
perdida mas halto di salo den curpa pa motibo di hopi perspiracion. E
perdida di salo aki por ocasiona un sentiment di cansancio. E trobbol
por worde librA door di uso di e propio cantidad di salo den cuminda
of tableta di salo tumA durante dia cu hopi awa.
Tabletanan di salo ta disponible gratis na Employee Medical Center.
Cualkier empleado por haya suficiente si el pidi na e bentana di botica.
Tocante e asunto di propio costumbernan durante temporada calo'.
Departamento Medico di Lago ta avisa:
1. Uso di salo Hopi vez ta mehor pa tuma e cantidad necesario
di salo hunto cu cuminda. E tabletanan di salo tin ora ta di mas ariba
un stoma bashi.
2. Cuminda E mester contene mas parti carni sin vet y berdura
en vez di carni vet, batata y cos dushi.
3. Alcohol Bai poco poco den uso di bedida alcoholic durante

cohol ta haci tempo calor peor pa nos y cu a worde comproba pa me-
diconan cu atakenan di calor ta socede mayor parti despues di bebe-

kes Kwihi Tables


flt\ A, *I


V. Semeleer Mo
Its trunk gnarled and twisted as if in misery,
Aruba's kwihi tree does not have the stately
beauty of Dutch elms or common oak. Few
leaves cling to its branches. Instead of a living
thing, it appears to be plagued with some botan-
ical malignancy. But take the well-cured trunk
of a kwihi tree, cut it in half and then spend
some eighty or more hours grooving, chiseling,
sanding and varnishing and behold the crafts-
man produces a unique and lovely piece of furn-
iture, a genuine Aruban kwihi table.
A skilled producer of kwihi tables is Vicente
Semeleer, carpenter A in the Carpenter Shop and
Noord resident, who recently finished his first
table using only the tools in his back yard work
area. It took him about eighty hours of hard and
demanding carpentry to make the unique piece of
furniture. Every kwihi table is unique because
no two look exactly alike. Although the Y-shaped
logs are much preferred they are formed by
trunk and giant roots or trunk and limbs -
tables are fashioned out of any large piece of
the iron-like wood.
Mr. Semeleer says the first and most difficult
part of the job is finding a suitable dead tree.
Best ones are found in the Oranjestad and Noord
areas. "If you don't cut it down at the right time
it will rot," he said. "The old people hold the
secret, but it's either after a new moon or before.
I ask my parents when it is the right time." The
log must then be allowed to dry for two or three
years.
It takes two men about four hours to cut the
log in half using a cross-cut saw. To level the
top, grooves are cut across the grain and then
chiseled out. Hours and hours of sanding follow
and more hours and hours of varnishing.


TO OBTAIN a level top, one-inch grooves are cut across the grain, above,
and these grooves are chiseled out, center, by hand. Hours and hours of
sanding, far right, follow until a smooth-as-glass surface is produced.
Vicente plays it safe by wearing safety glasses when necessary.

olmo of roble Holandes. Na su takinan tin poco foyo.
En vez di algo bibo, e ta parce moribundo di un of
otro naleza botanico. Pero tuma e troncon bon seco di
un kwihi, corte'le na mitar y despues pasa como
ochenta of mas ora ta traha surco, belt, schuur y ver-
nies y mira e ta saca un mueble 6nico y bunita, un
mesa di kwihi Arubano.
Un trahador expert di mesa di kwihi ta Vincente
Semeleer, carpenter A den Carpenter Shop y resident
di Noord, kende recientemente a complete su promer
mesa di kwihi usando solamente e hermentnan patras
di su cas. A tume'le como ochenta ora di trabao duro
y carpinteria exacto pa traha e mueble unico aki. Cads
mesa di kwihi ta finico pasobra no tin dos cu igual.
Maske e tronconnan den forma di horket ta worde
prefer, mesanan por word trahi for di cualkier pida
troncon di e palo aki.
Sr. Semeleer ta bisa cu e promer parti y esun
mas dificil di e trabao ta pa haya un kwihi seco cu
ta adecuado. E mehornan ta worde haya den vecin-
dario di Oranjestad y Noord. "Si bo no corte'le na e
bon tempo e ta putri," el a bisa. "E hendenan bieuw
tin e secret, pero sea ta promer of despues di luna
nobo. Mi ta puntra mi mayornan si ta e bon tempo." E
ora mester laga e kwihi seca dos of tres anja.
Ta tuma dos homber como cuatro ora pa corta e
palo den dos usando un zaag. Pa nivela e ariba, surco
ta word corta over di e draad y despues saca cu belt.
Ora y ora di schuurmento ta sigui y mas ora y ora di
vernies. Sr. Semeleer a usa ocho capa ariba su promer
mes te ora un superficie fini manera glas result.


VICENTE AND son admire a finished kwihi table, left photo,
that all-in-all took approximately eighty hours work. Mrs.
Semeleer, right photo, was sceptical about the project at first,
but now considers her kwihi table one of her most prized pos-
sessions. The tree from which this table came was approxim-
ately fifty years old when it died.


VICENTE Y su yiu ta admire un mesa di kwihi acaba, foto
robez, cu na tur a tuma casi ochenta ora di trabao. Sra.
Semeleer, foto banda drechi, na promer tabata sceptico tocante
e project, pero awor ta consider si mesa di kwihi un di su
posesionnan mas valioso. E palo for di cual e mesa aki a bini
tabata mas of menos cincuenta anja bieuw tempo el a muri.

work.

American swamps in the never-ending search for oil. ]

The YMCA's "Learn to Swim" pro-
gram is the ambitious undertaking of
Executive Secretary Julio Sanjurjo who
says that the swim program's goal is to
make every Aruban a swimmer and
every swimmer a lifesaver.
The program, a continuous one, start-
ed last March when fifty boys decided
to get in the swim by learning to swim.
Every Saturday since, at least thirty
boys between the ages of eight and
fourteen have gone with Sr. Sanjurjo to
POVA Beach. So far, fourteen boys have
learned the basic crawl stroke through
Sr. Sanjurjo's "mass instruction"
method. The YMCA leader is also teach-
ing advanced swimming and lifesaving.
Currently receiving Red Cross lifesaving
training are twenty Girl Scout leaders.
Assisting Sr. Sanjurjo are Leslie
Lejuez, a graduate lifesaver, and Eugene
Beyde and Ronald Winklaar.

Super Efficiency

Possible for Car

Engine of Future
Automobile engines twice as effi-
cient as those in today's cars are
theoretically possible. The possibility
of the super-efficient engines was an-
nounced recently by Murray H. Ed-
son of the Esso Research and En-
gineering Company.
Mr. Edson has "created" a math-
ematical model of an ideal engine
and with the aid of an electronic
computer has studied what might be
expected of this engine if its com-
pression ratio were raised from pres-
ent levels to 300 to one.
Compression ratio is the general
measure of an engine's efficiency and
power the higher the compression
ratio, the better the engine works on
a given amount of fuel. The average
compression ratio of cars now being
made in the United States is nearly
ten to one.
According to Mr. Edson, "We
stopped at 300 to one compression
ratio only as a matter of conven-
ience. Actually, there appears to be
no theoretical limit to the increase
in efficiency of internal combustion
engines."
Mr. Edson stressed that although
engines of greatly improved efficien-
cy are mathematically possible, it
will take a long time before they
can actually be built. "Practice will
have to catch up with theory. New
fuels, new materials and new engin-
eering know-how to make these en-
gines will have to be developed," he
said.
The amount ol useful work which
can be obtained from a fuel increases


Ship- No Ballast,

Wood Cargo-Has

Hard List to Port
Several refinery employees took a
quick second look when the Cape
Palmas was guided into the harbor
:he other day. The freighter, bound
from Vancouver, British Columbia,
to London, was listing hard to port
and appeared to be on the verge of
capsizing.
This was not the case, though, for
as soon as the vessel had taken on
bunkers she regained an even keel.
The Cape Palmas had taken on a
load of wood in Vancouver. The load
was crammed in the holds and was
stacked high on the decks. Because
of the wood's light weight compared
to most other cargos, the carrier had
difficulty maintaining an even keel
after the ballast was dumped.
When the Cape Palmas dumped her
ballast outside of San Nicolas Har-
bor she immediately flopped over as
she was riding to high for her design
limitations. This also made the ship
slow to answer rudder changes while
being maneuvered by the Esso tugs.
A full load of bunkers and added bal-
last quickly corrected the list and
the vessel was trimmed up for the
rest of her journey.

EVER SEE a tipsy freighter? Actually, it's really listing to port which
is the correct nautical terminology. When the wood-laden Cape Palmas
is out of ballast, she rides too high to keep an even keel. She quickly
straightens up after taking on bunkers.
BO A yega di mira un hapor di carga boracho? En efecto, den lenguaje
nautico nan ta bisa cu el ta leun pa babor. Ora Cape Palmas, cargi cu
palo, no tin ballast, el ta keda much halto pa por tene su kiel pareuw.
Ora e coi bunker el ta sinta bon mes ora.
