Esso San Nicolas Aids Distressed Tanker


Lago's two tugboats are normally relegated to the role
of guide or shepherd for operative and powerful tankers
in and out of San Nicolas Harbor. The pace was changed
for Captains A. H. Scott and L. Wise and the Esso San
Nicolas Nov 20 when the call came from a vessel in need
of assistance many miles from the harbor's mouth.
The distressed vessel was the Esso Venezuela, a T-1
midget by today's proportions. Not only was she small,
but she was weathered and unkempt, and these conditions
contributed to her untimely distress in the early hours of
Nov. 20. Steaming for Curacao after departure from
Amuay Bay she had complete engine failure. The call went
out for aid and the advice was forwarded to Lago's Marine
Department. Captains Scott and Wise aboard the Esso San
Nicolas went to her assistance. They cleared San Nicolas
Harbor at 10:30 am bound in a south, south westerly
direction toward the Esso Venezuela's last reported pos-
ition off the coast of Venezuela.
Approximately one and one-half hours later the drifting
Esso Venezuela was sighted. The Esso San Nicolas drew
alongside the hapless tanker at 12:55, at which time the
Esso Venezuela's captain explained the circumstances
leading to his predicament. The tanker was an old Creole
vessel which had been out of use for four years. During
this period, the vessel was at anchor in Amuay Bay ex-

THE ESSO San Nicolas took the disabled Esso Venezuela in
low about eight miles off Punta Macolla, Venezuela. Shortly
after the tow began, however, the T-l tanker regained its
propulsion and the Lago tug served as escort.


posed to corrosive agents above the water line and marine
growth below the water line. She was sold recently, and
her ultimate port was in Germany where she was to be
rebuilt. Her first port, however, was Curaqao and the dry
dock there where she was to be cleaned up and refurbished
sufficiently to enable her to make a safe Atlantic crossing.
The initial leg of her journey was short and disappointing.
Engine room failure attributable to little or no maintenance
for four years ended the first part of her journey about
eight miles off Punta Macolla, Venezuela. This is where
the Esso San Nicolas put a line on her.
Shortly after the crew of the San Nicolas had fixed a
tow line of eight-inch rope and steel wire and the tug's
1600-horsepower diesel engines began to pull the Vene-
zuela, the tanker regained propulsion. Crew members,
under the direction of W. A. Porritt, American Bureau of
Shipping inspector, had made temporary, nonetheless in-
genious, repairs and the Esso Venezuela was able to make
her own way. The tow connection between the tug and the
tanker, although needed only briefly, was left intact in the
event the Venezuela lost her power again and would have
to be towed. The San Nicolas stayed in front of the T-1
and guided her back to Aruba. The journey to Aruba
started at 1:20 p.m. The ships arrived outside Oranjestad

Educacion
(Continua di pagina 1)
mester anima estudiantenan Aru-
bano pa haci uso di e facilidadnan ak,
pa bay studio riba nivel universi-
tario.
Sr. Murray a bisa cu e dia a pasa
cu un hende sin education escolar of
cu no conoce ningun fishi ta recibi
consideration di algun importancia.
Esey ta diferente di poco anja pasa
cu un trahador por a cuminza cu
absolutamente ningun preparation.
"Si e homber ey ta un hende cu hopi
aplicacion, manera hopi di e traha-
dornan di tempu bieu ta, anto e ta
sinja e trabao. E tabata sinja di
otro, y cu trabao duro, dunando su
mes poco descanso, el a traha bai
dilanti," asina Sr. Murray a bisa. El
a elogia e esfuerzo aki si acaso el a
hanja su origen den un boluntad
fuerte, pero el a bisa Rotaronan cu
e manera ey di cuminza traha ta bao
di hopi restriccion. Tempunan y exi-
gencianan a cambia. E hobennan
bomber y muher cu awendia ta worde
educa na skoolnan di gobierno of di
parokianan na Aruba, ta nan ta es-
tablece e normanan di awor. Y den e
sentido aki Sr. Murray a conseha
fuertemente estudiantenan di Antil-
jas pa sigi studia riba un nivel uni-
versitario, y no stop di studio ora
nan hanja nan diploma na e skoolnan
di gobierno of di parokianan.
Sr. Murray a bisa tambe: "E ho-
ben Arubano di awendia mester tin
den su mes e aplicacion pa jega na
un grado universitario, mescos cu su
mayor tabatin pa trabao duro. Ma-
nera e trabao di su tata promer cu
ne, conocemento professional di e ho-
ben di awendia lo haci e Aruba di
mafian un comunidad progresista pa
e generation proximo."
Papiando di education y entrena-
mento Sr. Murray a bisa cu "un
parti integral di oportunidad pa de-
saroljo cu Lago ta duna su emplea-

mester ta relaciona cu e grado di
preparation y habilidad di e empleado
pa acepta y maneha cu capacidad

Mientras cierto cambionan a tuma
lugar na Lago -- un punto cu Sr.
Murray a jega di trata caba el a
splica cu e cambionan a worde haci
cu asina tantu orden, pa motibu cu
compania tabatin den su empleo hen-
denan a e pericia y entrenamento pa
haci e cambionan ey cu exito. "Bo

ando su discurso Sr. Murray a bisa:
"e cambio cu a tuma lugar den e
cantidad di nos empleadonan di nin-
gun manera tabata arbitrario ni den
su decision ni den su ehecucion." El
a splica cu empleadonan a worde con-
siderA pa trabao segun nan capacidad
y aplicacion, y esnan cu a recibi
mayor responsabilidad ta hombernan
cu e calidad cu e trabao ta exigi.
Despues di a establece cu norma-
nan di trabao ta haltu y competencia
entire empleadonan di Lago ta fuerte,
Sr. Murray a kere cu ta razonabel
pa puntra awor: "kiko anto Lago ta
haci pa asisti su empleadonan pa
prepare nan mes pa responsabilidad
mas haltu" President di Lago a cu-
minza su contest bisando cu e ta
asumi cu hopi ta depend di e per-
sona mes. "Esnan cu ta worde juzga
capabel pa recibi mas responsabili-
dad, conocemento y dexteridad lo
hanja oportunidad pa entrena nan
mes. Tin hopi oportunidad pa en-
trenamento, nan ta valid, y nan ta
worde duna na ora di trabao mien-

Murray Emphasizes Need


For University Education
Members of the Rotary Club of Aruba made their annual visit to
Lago Nov. 20. Following dinner at the Esso Club they heard an address
by Lago President W. A. Murray in which he stressed the need and
urgency for Netherlands Antillean youth to study at the university
level. Mr. Murray's statements were keyed to the fact that there are


only six Antillean university stud-
ents assigned to Lago technological
positions, and that if there were
more Lago would use them
President Murray told Rotarians
that, unfortunately graduation from
HBS, UTS or MULO schools appear-
ed to be the end of formal study for
the overwhelming majority of An-
tillean youth. "This should not be,"
he said. "The education the young
men and women receive in the An-
tilles is excellent, but it should not
stop here. It should he continued in
North American and European uni-
versities where the Aruban youth
can prepare himself for technical and
professional positions."
Mr. Murray, pursuing this point
closely, stated that needed are en-
gineers, chemists, accountants, law-
yers, journalists and many other
professions He told the group that
as Aruba continues to grow, the
need for professional men and wo-
men with university preparation will
continue to increase. Relating to
Lago's need for Netherlands Antil-
leans prepared to handle technolo-
gical assignments. Mr. Mu ray stated
with brisk frankness that "we at
Lago wish more young men and
women of Aruba would undertake
technological studies at North Ame-
rican and European universities"
Assistance from the Aruba Gov-
ernment scholarship fund and grants
made possible through the Lago
Scholarship Foundation were noted as
sources of aid for enterprising stud-
ents. The Lago president said that
Aruban students should be encour-
aged to make use of these assists to
study at the professional level at
universities abioad

Continue Preparation
Mr. Murray felt it a sure state-
ment that the day had passed when
the unschooled or untrained person
is given notable consideration It was
different years ago when a worked
could start out with absolutely noth-
ing. "If the man were industrious,"
he said. "as many of our old timers
were, he learned on the job. He
learned from others, and by dint of
hard work while seeking little relief,
he forged himself ahead Mr Mur-
ray complimented this effort when it
was born basically of strong will,
but he told Rotarians that today
that type of start is restricting.
Times and standards have changed.
The young men and women matri-
culating in government and paro-
chial schools of Aruba and Curacao
are the ones who set today's stand-
ards. It was at this point in the
speech's context that Mr. Murray
urged Antillean students to continue
preparation at the university level
and not stop when they had graduat-
ed from these same government and
parochial schools
Said Mr. Murray: "The Aruban
youth of today should have some of
the industriousness and desire for
degree level knowledge that his
father had for hard labor. As did his
father's labors before him, the pro-
fessional knowledge of today's youth
will make tomorrow's Aruba a pro-
gressive community for the next
generation."
Speaking of education and train-
ing, Mr. Murray stated that "an in-
tegral part of Lago's employee dev-
elopment must necessarily relate to


Stanley F. Morris

Stanley F. Morris, 40, carpenter
B in Mechanical-Carpenter, died
Nov. 20 in Lago Hospital. The de-
ceased, who served Lago for over
sixteen years, is survived by a
wife and five children, who reside
at Juana Morto No. 102B Mr.
Morris came to Aruba from St
Martin, his birthplace


the individual's preparedness and his
ability to accept and capably handle
new responsibilities, new skills, new
assignments In accomplishing
change at Lago a subject Mr.
Murray has discussed before the
Lago president explained that change
has been made as orderly as it has
because of the skilled and trained
employees who made change possible
"You can't change to modern, com-
plex and highly efficient equipment
if you don't have the knowledgeable
men to move into new areas of oper-
ation Mr. Murray continued say-
ing "the change that has taken place
in the numbers of our employees by
no means has been arbitrary either
In the decision or execution He ex-
plained that men were considered ac-
cording to their capabilities and ap-
plication, and qualified men are the
men who are being assigned increas-
ed responsibility
Having established the fact that
standards are high and competition
is keen for Lago employees. IMr
Murray felt it reasonable that the
question should be asked, what is
Lago doing to assist its employees
in preparation for added lesponsibi-
lities The Lago president prefixed his
answer with the assumption that
much depends upon the individual
, "To those who are adjudged capable
of added responsibility, knowledge
and skill," he said, "training oppor-
tunities are offered. There are many,
and they are offered during the
wolk day at the company's expense "
; Mr Murray went on to list and
describe many of the courses given
Lago employees to upgrade their
craft skills, increase their knowledge
and abilities He concluded his ad-
!dress with the statement that it will
be the skilled, schooled and alert
man, capable of leadership and res-
ponsibility who will assist in guiding
Lago through the Sixties

Disaster Area

Gets Used Lago

Police Uniforms
Lago's familiar gray police um-
forms, used but serviceable, may
again be seen in the role of emei-
gency clothing for refugees in a
major disaster area This time the
used clothing 277 pans of pants,
195 shirts, fifteen windbieakers and
thirteen belts went to victims of
Hurricane Hattie in the coastal city
of Belize, British Honduras
The hurricane struck Belize Oct
31 killing more than 250, injurying
hundreds more and leaving hundreds
upon hundreds homeless Winds ap-
proaching a velocity of 20U miles an
hour virtually wiped out the city ot
31,000
Lago Police Department's used
uniforms, saved for such emergency
situations, were taken to Princess
Beatrix Airpol t Nov 15 wheie they
were flown to Jamaica free by KLM
the following day The British Navy
transported the twenty-seven boxes
of uniforms to the disaster area.
Hardly a year goes by that the
department's used uniforms, which
have been laundered before storage,
are not needed in a disaster-stricken
area. St. Martin residents received
them last year after their island
was hit by a hurricane Uniforms
also were sent to victims of the
earthquake in Chile


LAGO POLICE Department employees preparing used police uniforms
for shipment to hurricane victims in British Honduras are S. Antonia,

Nov. 16 by air to Belize via Jamaica.

At Work


Junior Achievement has gained a firm foothold in
Aruba thanks to the success of the two pilot com-
panies set up in San Nicolas and Oranjestad last
May by four civic, industrial and business organi-
zations. Credit for introducing the youth movement
to Aruba belongs to the Aruba Society for Mental
Health. The society presented the idea to the Rotary
Club of Aruba which adopted Junior Achievement
as one of its major projects and has given much
financial assistance. Lago and the Aruba Trading
Company accepted the responsibilities of serving as
counselling firms and have furnished advisers and
other assistance to their respective companies.
The real success of the J.A. Manufacturing Com-
pany (the San Nicolas Junior Achievement group,
and the Pioneer Plastic Company (the Oranjestad
J.A organization) has come from those who man-
age and operate these companies -youngsters in
their teens, the Junior Achievers themselves.
Seventeen boys and girls in San Nicolas and
twenty boys and girls in Oranjestad have been
learning the ramifications of the free-enterprise
system by actually operating their own miniature
companies. When they first met about six months
ago with advisers from the two counselling firms
they had little or no knowledge of double-entry
bookkeeping, sales management, purchasing, mass
production, cost control and the like.

PIO COFFY IS TOP PARK CYCLIST


Athletes from Curacao and Vene-
zuela competed with Aruba sports-
men in the annual cycling, field and
track events held by the Aruba
Athletic and Cycling Association at
Lago Sport Park Oct 10 and 11.
About 2700 sports fans attended
either one of the two nightly events
There were spills as well as
thrills. Pio Coffy, whose three first
places in class A cycle events and
one second place earned him the
title of outstanding athlete, took a
bad spill in the last lap of the fift-
een-mile international cycle event for


class A cyclists. His only competitor,
R. Sweetnam, breezed past him to
win the first-place trophy.
Gaston Richardson's spill in the
nine-mile international cycle race
Friday night. Oct. 10, kept him from
riding in the Saturday night contests
Pio Coffy won that event but in
another he had bad luck when he
had a blow-out in the last lap.
Every class B cycle race was won
by S. Guerra, while P. Maduro burnt
up the track and took home an arm-
load of trophies in two class C cycle
events.


In the Friday night events first
place field and track winners were
E Browne, discus throw and shot
put; C Dirksz. 880-yard run and H.
Tom Low, one mile race. Saturday
night field and track champions were
R. Dandare, javelin throw: I. Tem-
mer, 220-yard dash; S. Dirksz, 440-
yard dash, and A. W. H. Bon, three-
mile run.
Officials in charge of the events
for the Aruba Athletic Cycling and
Athletic Association were M. Lash-
ley, D. Brathwaite, S. Illidge, T.
Johnson and A Williams

I Junior Ac
(Continued from page 4)
At their weekly meetings and
work sessions now they conduct
board meetings, iron out production
problems, map out sales campaigns
and intelligently discuss profit and
loss statements, equipment leasing,
payrolls and the many other facets
that make up a going concern. Al-
though the Junior Achievement com-
panies are businesses in miniature,
they have been operating in like
manner to their big industrial
brothers.
Proof of success can be directly
tied to results. In the case of Aruba's
two Junior Achievement companies
the results to co-sponsors and coun-
selling firms can be measured in
tangibles and intangibles. When the
two companies liquidate soon all
Junior Achievement companies must
liquidate after about six months of
operation to make room for new
groups of boys and girls -- they will
have produced and sold their res-
pective products by the hundreds
The J.A. Manufacturing Company,
which introduced a novel hurricane
lamp to Aruba consumers, will have
sold approximately 500 of the units
when it pays off its shareholders
next month. Pioneer Plastic Com-
pany, which got underway about a
month after the San Nicolas group,
has been producing a product so
popular that the youngsters cannot
keep up with the consumer demand.
It's an attractive plastic hand mir-
ror. When the group liquidates late
next January, Pioneer Plastics Com-
pany will have sold about 300 units

opportunities to learn by doing, the
advisers gradually let the youths as-
sume direct control of all business,
sales and production operations. This
has given the young participants as
much on-the-job experience as they
have been able to absorb.
Different Products
Although both companies operate
under Junior Achievement charters
and conduct business in like manner,
they have selected vastly different
products, both of which have proved
quite popular.
The J. A. Manufacturing Company
has been producing a novel hurricane
lamp which is both attractive and
functional. Its simplicity of con-
struction was purposely chosen so
that production equipment would be
simple and limited and so it could
be competitively produced and sold.
Production is supervised by Alfonso
Rumnit, production manager. Miss
Urania Jermin supervises sales oper-
ations. Officers of the J. A Manu-
facturing Company are Anthony
Bryson, president; Franklin Bebrout,
treasurer and Gloria Bryson, secre-
tary
The finished lamps sell for
Fls. 3.50 each or Fls 6.50 a pair. Like
their counterparts in Oranjestad, the
San Nicolas Junior Achievers are
paid token wages that must come
out of profits. Materials and equip-
ment rental must also be figured
into pricing of the product.
Vanity Mirror
Oranjestad Junior Achievers pro-
duce an attractive vanity mirror. A
thirty-inch-long plexiglas strip is af-
fixed around a six-inch round mirror
in a unique operation devised by I.
J. Chin, production adviser and sen-
ior engineer in TSD-Engineering.
Officers of the Oranjestad group
are Guy Paris, president; Rudy Gui-
cherit, vice president; Glenn Marugg,
treasurer, and Miriam Buckley, sec-
retary Sales manager and top sales-
man for the Pioneer Plastic Com-
pany is Marcial Ibarra. He won the
company's first premium for being
first to sell ten mirrors. Production


Dr. Bruno Furst

Helps Thousands

Improve Memory
It's not likely that you'll forget
Dr. Bruno Furst once you meet him,
specially if you become a student
n his "Memory Improvement" sem-
nar. One of the sessions offered by
the internationally-famous memory
expert, with the assistance of Mrs.
Furst, will be devoted to remember-
ng the names and faces of people.
Dr. Furst, a seventy-year-old lawy-
er, who hasn't been near a court-
room for nearly thirty years, says
that remembering people's names and
faces and individual facts and traits
is one of the most important features
of his course. Applications are avail-
able now in the Training Division,
Administration Building, for the
seminar which will start Jan. 15 and
run through Feb. 9. Sessions will be
held twice weekly in the evening.
Physical facilities, instructor time,
and maximum number of partici-
pants Dr. Furst is able to handle
limits the course to the first 150
applicants. Applications close Mon-
day, Dec. 18.
Although Dr. Furst can still re-
call the gist of the 2385 paragraphs
in the Weimar Republic's civil code,
the German-born lawyer and educa-
tor says that at the age of eleven he
couldn't recite the alphabet. "Mem-
ory is like a muscle," he often says.
"The more you exercise it, the grea-
ter its capacity."
He first started building up his
own memory when he was a law
student in Munich. With the help of
the late Ludwig Poehlmann, another
memory expert, the struggling stud-
ent was able to commit his law
books to memory and to awe court-
rooms by storing up testimony.
When Nazism put a stop to his
career, after a period in Prague, Dr.
Furst decided in 1938 to make a new
career in the United States.

S TUGMATE TRAINING
(Continued from page 1)
in direct command of a tugboat un-
der the shift tugmaster.
The twenty-five candidates select-
ed to begin the training program
will be on loan to the Marine Depart-
ment. Their base earnings at the time
of their selection will be maintained.
These employees will also retain
then right to return to their normal
job status in the event they wish to
discontinue the training or are drop-
ped from the program. Employees on
loan from a department with a sen-'
iority rating system will retain their|
relative position on the rating list
during the six-month initial training
period.
At the completion of the qualify-:
ing six-month period, the twelve em-
ployees selected to continue the tug-
mate training will be transferred to
the Marine Department. The others
will be returned to their former po-
sitions. The primary duties of a li-
censed tugmate aboard Lago tug-
boats will involve supervision and
direction to assist in docking, un-
docking, shifting and towing vessels.
Trainees will have formal studies
every morning at the Marine Train-
ing Center, and practical seaman-
ship in the afternoon. The syllabus
is extensive ranging from mathe-
matics, navigation and meteorology
to splicing, reconditioning, rigging
and anti-corrosion work.
Names of applicants, who believe
they have the qualifications, should
be submitted to their general fore-
man.

THE ESSO San Nicolas cleared
San Nicolas Harbor at 10:30 a.m.
and three hours later had the
hapless vessel in low. A single line
from the stern of the tugboat to
the bow of the tanker connected
the two ships. The low was not
needed; the T-1 crew made suffi-
cient engine repairs to give the tan-
ker propulsion. Captains A. Scott
and L. Wise effected the assist.
