The careers of four Lago employees were examined in detail at
special thirty-year award ceremonies held Feb. 14. Honored for their
long company service were Nathan Hazel, yard corporal A, and Isidoor
Dirks, yard cleanout corporal, both of the Mechanical Department; W.
Reuben White, Systems and Programming Division head in the Ac-

F. M. Croes C. Porter
Mr. Porter joined Lago Feb 14,
1956. as an engineer in TSD-Engin-
eering where he has since remained.
He came to Lago from the Wood
River, Illinois, refinery of Standard
Oil Company (Indiana i.

years of Lago service He started as

salute of Big Charlie. He started
with Lago June 25, 1929, in the Lago
Police Department also but went to
the Pressure Stills in 1931. After
working in the Acid Plant, Dining
Hall, Gas Plant and TSD-Engineer-
ing, Mr. Hazel made his permanent
move to the Mechanical Department.
Since that time he has been most-
ly engaged in stevedore work. He
vividly recalls the vast amount of
muscle power needed to unload ships
in the early days. It would take two
to three days to unload a thousand
tons of cement. Every bag had to be
handled by hand. Sulphur unloading
was even more unpleasant. It was
tedious, hot work with sticky sulphur
clogging every pore Today, the
stevedore's job is largely mechanized.
"Big Charlie has helped move a lot
of equipment and pipe off ships in
his day," Mr. Proterra said. "He had
a hand in moving about all of the
pipe and equipment that make up
the refinery." Mr. Hazel has been a
corporal A since December, 1949.

Cleanout Man
Continuing on to Mr. Dirks, Mr.
Proteria said, "I don't know exactly
why, but Mr. Dirks is called Ama-
dor by most of his associates Since
1939, Mr. Dirks has been engaged in
cleanout work in Mechanical-Yard.
He joined Lago March 15, 1930, as
a sample boy in TSD-Laboratories
then worked for a while as a yard
laborer. He was assigned to cleanout
work in the Pressure Stills in July,
1939. Mr. Dirks well remembers the
arduous task of cleaning out the
coke from those stills. Cooking was
heavy then but with Lago's new
vertical furnaces the job has been
made much less arduous. Mr Dirks
became a still cleaner A in 1944 and
was named a cleanout corporal in
1951.
The career of Mr. White was re-
viewed by Comptroller W. T. Murphy.
He related that Mr. White had start-
ed originally with Lago March 7,
1930, as a typist in the Accounting
Department. In 1936, he returned to
the United States, and specifically
Texas, where he became an under-

For grades 2 through 12, a satis-

Printed by the Aruba Drukker N.V., Neth. Ant.
PUBLISHED EVERY OTHER SATURDAY. AT ARUBA, NETHERLANDS
ANTILLES, BY LAGO OIL A TRANSPORT CO.. LTD.


In Safety-United We Stand
To combat off-the-job accidents, everyone in the community must
actively participate in Lago's year-long accident prevention program.
Although the company is expressly interested in the safety of em-
ployees and family members while they are in the home or on the
sports fields, Lago hopes that its off-the-job accident prevention pro-
gram will spread throughout Aruba.
In many instances, everyone must be attentive to good safety habits
so that accidents in the home, on the highways, beaches and sports
areas can be eliminated. The community can not wholly benefit from
an accident prevention program of this kind if some back safety and
others ignore it. A careless driver, for example, can involve a safe one
in a highway mishap. A safety-conscious child may step on a sharp
object left by a careless adult.
Every year in Aruba hundreds upon hundreds of children and adults
are injured in accidents that could have been prevented. There is noth-
ing supernatural about accidents. Except for acts of God such as
hurricanes, lightning, rain storms and the like, practically every acci-
dent can be traced to a cause that could have been eliminated.
Let's suppose that a Lago employee is working in his home work-
shop. The power tool he is using has a ground wire incorporated in
the power cord. But he has neglected to install the proper electrical
outlet; instead, he has removed the ground connector from the cord.
While standing on damp concrete he plugs in the tool and receives a
near-fatal shock when he activates the power. Unwittingly, he be-
comes the ground connection.
Would you call this a supernatural force at work? Hardly. The man,
a perfectly safe worker while on the job, was injured through his own
neglectfulness. It wasn't an act of God. And the man naturally, he's
learned a lesson. In this case it was a painful lesson and could have
been his last.
Soon, members of Lago's Off-the-Job Safety Speakers Bureau will
bring original safety messages and advice to one and all. Attend meet-
ings and pay careful attention to what these community leaders have
to say. There undoubtedly will be information in these talks that can
help you live in greater safety. You may learn a lifesaving lesson.
These volunteer safety workers have but one goal to make Aruba a
safer place in which to enjoy a full and fruitful life.


Union Ta Forza


Pa combat accidentenan pafor di trabao, tur hende den comunidad
master participa activamente den e program di prevention di accident
auspicia pa Lago.
Aunke compania ta profundamente interesA den seguridad di em-
pleadonan y miembronan di familiar mientras nan ta na cas of ariba
terreno di deported, Lago ta spera cu su program di prevention di ac-
cidente pafor di trabao, lo plama over di henter Aruba.
Den hopi instancia, tur hende mester pone atencion na bon costum-
bernan di seguridad asina cu accidentenan na cas, ariba camina grand,
na lamar y ariba terreno di deported, por word elimina. Comunidad no
por beneficia plenamente di un program di prevention di accident di
e sorto aki si algun ta apoya e esfuerzo y otro no ta haci causa. Un
chofer sin cuidao, por ehemplo, por involve un chofer cauteloso den un
accident di trafico. Un much cuidadoso por trapa ariba un obheto
skerpi laga door di un hende grand sin cuidao.
Tur anja na Aruba cientos y cientos di muchanan y hende grand ta
worde herida den accidentenan cu por a worde prevent. No tin nada
supernatural tocante accident. Excepto pa actonan di Dios manera
horcan, lamper, yobida y cosnan per estilo, casi tur accident por worde
atribui na un causa cu por a worde prevent.
Laga nos supone cu un empleado di Lago ta traha den su shop na
cas. E aparato di coriente cu el ta usa tin un waya di ground incor-
pora den esun di tuma coriente. Pero el a neglisha di instala e salida
propio di coriente; en vez, el a kita e conectador di ground for di e
waya. Parando ariba concrete muha el ta plug e aparato y ta recibi un
schok cu por a result fatal. Sin cu el sabi, el a bira e conexion di
ground.
Lo bo yama esaki un forza supernatural na trabao? Bo no por. E
homber, un trahador perfectamente seguro na trabao, a worde herida
pa su mes negligencia. No tabata un acto di Dios. Y e homber natural-
mente a sinja un les. Den e caso aki tabata un les penoso cu per tabata
su ultimo.
Pronto, miembronan di Off-the-Job Safety Speakers Bureau di Lago
lo trece mensaje original di seguridad y conseho pa un y tur. Atende e
reunionnan aki paga bon atencion na loke e lidernan di comunidad aki
tin di bisa. Sin duda nan charla lo contene information cu lo yuda bo
biba un bida mas seguro. Bo por sinja un les cu por salba bo bida. E

Aruba un lugar mas seguro den cual bo per goza di un bida pleno y

Six Boy, Sea Scouts 'Run'


Lago Feb. 5


The refinery was in good hands Feb. 5. That's
the day six honor scouts from Seroe Colorado "ran"
Lago in observance of a custom that had its be-
ginnings in Aruba eighteen years ago.
Three honor Boy Scouts and three honor Sea
Scouts were chosen to assume honorary executive
positions as a highlight of Scout Week which was
held in the community from Feb. 4 through Feb. 10.
Chosen for the honors were Boy Scouts Barney
Ellis Jr., Kenneth Chapman and Bruce Massey, and
Sea Scouts Robert Holcolmb, Peter Lewis and
Steven Opdyke.
The six were picked up at the start of the work
day at their homes by the executives they were to
replace. Scout Ellis was assigned to General Serv-
ices superintendent, Scout Chapman to Industrial
Relations Department manager, Scout Massey to
Mechanical Department superintendent, Scout Hol-
colmb to refinery general manager, Scout Lewis to
Process Department superintendent and Scout Op-
dyke to Marine Department manager.
As part of their duties the honorary executives
attended staff meetings, made departmental rounds
or were exposed to various work situations.
