A SCENE such as this normally would be considered rare in Aruba. Not
last month, however, when dark clouds hovered over the island more
frequently than is their custom. On one occasion, above, a water spout
twisted its form out of the ominous mass. It is located at the center of
the cloud's base line.

1962 Rainfall Falls Far Short of Aruba

Yearly Average; October Wettest Month
There is one bit of advice old and knowing fight managers give their
young and inexperienced boxers. When possible, finish each round with
a flurry of fists and footwork. The last impression is a lasting one, and
the referee and judges recall the last minute ci action better than they
do the first two minutes of each round. This is probably true of much


of life's actions and circumstances
That which has gone on is quickly
forgotten.
So it is with weather, particularly
in Aruba. The island was drenched
by a couple of good rain storms near
the end of the year One squall was
accompanied by a generous amount
of lightening and thunder. These
were remembered, and many thought
1962 was a fairly wet year This was
not the case, though. The fact is,
1962 was well below the average
computed by the Technical Depart-
ment from its measurements over
the past thirty-two years.
The year's total rainfall was 12.63.
The average rainfall is now 18.82, so
1962 was some six inches off the
pace. Many had forgotten the ex-
tremely dry months in the early and
middle parts of the year. One halve
of the year's months had less than
one inch of rain. April just about
made it The rainfall, if it can be
called that, was a barely measurable
0.02 January and the last three
months of the year were the wettest,
although not very wet The most rain
fell in October, 2.86 inches, and a
sizable portion of this amount, as
many will remember, fell during the
dedication of the Methodist Church's
Wesley Auditorium January had a
rainfall of 218 inches. The other
"wet" months were barely (ver one
inch of rain.
Relatively Dry
That Aruba is a relatively dry is-
land is realized by everyone, but
probably few know just how dry it
has been on occasion Since 1930,
there have been s:x years in which
the rainfall was less the ten inches
The poorest year for rain, or the
driest year, was 1930 when a scant
7.73 inches of rain fell on Aruba The
wettest year was 1950. It was an ex-
ceptional year with 44.16 inches of
rain, and it is the only year in
Aruba's recorded rainfall history
that more than forty inches of rain
fell cn the island.
Only four months in thirty-two
years have had a rainfall of more
than ten inches. November, 1938,
1944 and 1945, and December, 1950,
were the only more than ten-inch
months. November, 1955, had the
greatest rainfall with 14.65 inches.
Measurable rain has fallen every


January Gets Off To
A Good Wet Start
Not that anyone has to be re-
minded of the wet start January
imposed on the residents of Aruba,
but it may be that there are those
who are curious about the exact
amount. Technical Department la-
boratories registered 2.63 inches,
which is a mite better than the
2 18 inches which fell during Jan-
uary last year and the 2.19-inch
thirty-year average for the first
month.

year during January, June, October,
November and December. Eleven
months during the thirty-two-year
period were absolutely without rain,
and eleven other months produced an
unmeasurable trace.
To say that Aruba's rainfall fol-
lows a cycle or a pattern would be
to invite challenges which would be
had to parry. Rainfall averages dis-
prove any such contention. Aruba's
rain comes and goes, rarely in deluge
quantities, and follows no pattern.

Economic Tragedy

A history of frustration, social and political deterioration and econo-
mic folly is being recorded in present day Cuba. Recent announcements
by the country's economic advisors bared plans for barter in oil and
refinery construction and admitted disappointment in agrarian reform
and industrial development. It appears that the optimism of the rev-
olutionary leaders to remake a once beautiful island and its people into
a collectivist society is waning in face of negative performances. It
stands sharp and clear that while Cuba languishes in the darkness of
a controlled society, other Caribbean islands particularly Aruba
are growing, building, developing under the free dictates of self deter-
mination. The economy of Aruba is a healthy, vigorous economy in
which enterprise and people are allowed to exercise their energies and
talents. Actual examples are evident in the new industries, the new
businesses, and the new homes being built all over Aruba.
What a difference there is between the progressive and enlightened
Aruban and the disgruntled Cuban who burns his sugar cane in con-
tempt for the worthless currency he receives for his labors. Even Major
Ernesto (Che) Guevara, Cuba's top economic director, felt forced to
shed some of his optimism and paint a bleak but realistic picture of his
island's outlook. He predicted the sugar cane crop would still be small.
Why? He said the sugar cane was very badly cared for. It was freq-
uently attacked by fire. In some areas of Cuba's previously lush cane
growth, field managers themselves or workers of the sugar cooperatives
found it easier to burn the fields and then cut what was left because of
poor growth.
Guevara did not explain one of the basic reasons for the cane wor-
kers' actions. Sugar labor and owners are reluctant to work for cur-
rency which cannot be traded for food and other consumer goods which
are in critically short supply. Sugar cane does not bring cash to Cuba;
it brings Russian oil and other Soviet goods. It is strictly 100 per cent
barter done for political rather than economic reasons.
The oil industry is a burden on the Cuban economy. At one time -
that period when the refineries in Cuba were operated under private
ownership the oil industry contributed to the well being of many
Cubans and their communities. Now it is a burden. Sugar, Cuba's major
export, is used entirely to barter and mostly for oil. There is a short-
age of lubricating oil, and car owners are not allowed to change oil.
Thirty per cent of Cuba's cars have been demobilized. Many others are
being run until they fall apart. Gasoline consumption has actually in-
creased. Puzzled government leaders suspect that gasoline is being
purchased freely because very little else can be bought.
Gasoline rationing has been hinted but never effected. It you can
drive to the beach whenever you desire, perhaps it is easier to forget
that the government's economics have caused an inadequate food and
clothing situation.


Tragedia Economico
Un historic di contratiempo, di empeoracion social y politico y locura
economic ta pasando na Cuba di awendia. Reciente anuncio door di e
pais su advisornan economic a revela plannan pa negoshi di cambia-
mento di product di agriculture pa azeta y construction di refineria v
a admiti desapunto den reform agraria y desaroyo economic. Ta
parce cu e optimism di e lidernan revolucionario pa cambia e isla tan
bunita un tempo y su hendenan den un sociedad colectivista ta men-
guando en vista di accionnan negative. Ta claramente y bien visto cu
mientras Cuba ta agotando den obscuridad di un sociedad controlA,
otro islanan di Caribe particularmente Aruba ta creciendo, con-
struyendo, y desaroyando bao e libre preceptonan di auto-determina-
cion. E economic di Aruba ta un economic salud y vigoroso den cual
empresa y hende ta permit pa eherce nan energianan y talentonan.
Ehempelnan berdadero ta evidence den e industrianan nobo, e negoshi-
nan nobo, y e casnan nobo cu ta worde trahi tur parti ariba Aruba.
Ki un gran diferencia tin entire e Arubano progresivo y bon informal
y e Cubano disgust cu ta kima su canja en menosprecio pa e placa
sin balor cu el ta ricibi pa su trabao. Hasta Majoor Ernesto (Che)
Guevara, Cuba su maximo director economic, a haye'le forza di benta
un banda un poco di su optimism y pinta un vista desolA pero realis-
tico di e future di su isla. El a pronostica cu cosecha di canja ainda lo
ta poco. Pakiko? El a bisa cu e plantacionnan di canja ta worde mal
cuidi. Frecuentemente tabatin candela den nan. Den algun lugar na
unda anteriormente tabatin bon plantacion di canja, hefenan of traha-
dornan di e terreno di e cooperativonan di sucu tabata haya cu ta mas
facil pa kima e cosecha y corta despues loke a keda pa motibo di mal
cosecha.
Guevara no a splica uno di e motibonan basico pa e accionnan di e
trahadornan di canja. Donjonan y trahadornan di plantacion di canja
no ta gustoso pa traha pa placa cu no por worde usa pa cumpra cu-
minda y otro articulonan necesario cu ta masha critic pa obtene. Sucu
di canja no ta trece placa efectivo pa Cuba; el ta trece azeta Ruso y
otro articulonan Sovietico. Esaki ta strictamente un 100% cambia-
mento di articulo pa motibonan politico envez di motibonan economic.
E industrial petrolera a bira un carga pa economic Cubano. Un
tempo den e period cu e refinerianan na Cuba tabata opera pa don-
jonan privA e industrial petrolera tabata contribui na bienestar di
hopi Cubanonan y nan comunidad. Awor el a bira un carga pa nan.
Sucu, cual ta e principal product di Cuba cu ta worde export, ta
worde usa completamente pa cambia pa otro product, mayoria pa
azeta. Y asina mes tin scarsedad di azeta lubricante y donjonan di auto
no ta worde permit pa cambia azeta di nan auto. Trinta porciento di
autonan di Cuba a worde paralizA. Hopi otronan ta worde corri te ora

A 'PAItTICILAI phast- of sixth grade study in St. Theresa's School and Philomena College
covers industry. Fhe petroleum industry because of Lago's proximity and accessibility for
school ours commands specific study. In addition to visits to process units, the children
were shown the mechanical side of Lago.



Over 5000 People Toured Lago in 1962;

Record Months, Groups Set Record Year
A record year of tour activity was 1962. It was a year of the largest
single tour and greatest number of visitors in a month which contri-
buted, as expected during the latter part of the year, toward the setting i


of a record year for tours through 1
toured Lago Refinery No previous
It is estimated that movie than
38,000 people have touted Lago since
the start of the tout program Dec. 8.
1952. The yeais previous to 1962
were fairly consistent in averaging
about 3500 visitors each yeaw Some
were a little more, some a little less,
but none appi coached the 5000-guest
figure which 1962 exceeded by 205.
The refinery was toured most freq-
uently during August, 1962. Visitors
that record month totalled 1408. The
previous record was established by
the 1000 guests who entered Lago's
gates during July, 1962. It was in
August, 1960, that 800 visitors tour-
ed Lago At that time, the figure set
a record that was felt to be tremen-
dous and unsurpassable. Last
August's tour requests reduced the
1960 record to a mere shadow.
Largest Tour
The largest single tour proceeded
through Lago July 20, 1962. On that
c 2asion, 114 students of Maria
School, Santa Cruz, toured the re-
finery.
Included in the tours of more than
38,000 adults and children weie many
celebrities None, though, holds quite
the place or distinction in Lago's
tour program as does Mrs. Eliza
Bonifacia Lopez, who on Sept. 4,
1959, became the 25,000th tour vis-
itor. The man who has conducted al-
most all of Lago's tours and whose
gentle mannerisms have ingratiated
him with thousands is Tour Leader
Severiano Luydens.
One of Mr. Luyden's recent tours
was with the students of St. The-
Iesa's School and Philomena College.
Accompanied by energetic teachers
who requested the tours in order that
their students might see the practi-


Lago. During the year, 5205 persons
year approaches this figure.

cal application of the petroleum in-
dustry as an adjunct to then theoie-
tical studies in class, two groups of
grade six children toured Lago Jan.
22 and 24.
They walked through the machine
shop where they watched demonstra-
tions of some of Lago's equipment.
At the Combination Units' control
house they listened to process ex-
planations and traced the paths of
fractions through a flow diagram. At
the cold storage plant they experien-
ced unusual temperatures.
Their assignment did not end at
the Reception Center. In class the
following day, the students discussed
what they had seen and its relation
to the community and the world.
They created models of what im-
pressed them most, and wrote reports
of their toum. Their final task was to
write Mr. Luydens telling him what
impressed them most. One of their
conclusions, which was almost un-
animous, was that touring Lago was
indeed an exciting and rewarding
means of understanding industry.

STUDENTS OF grade four of the Scroe Colorado elementary school searched Seroe Noka
and Seroe Boton for indian artifacts during their Jan. 18 field trip. The students and their
teachers had Severiano Luydens of the Public Relations Department as their guide. East
of Hooiberg at Seroe Noka. center, the children found pieces of pottery, and east of Ayo
they encountered cactus, right.

Seroe Colorado School Children Search Cunucu For Indian Artifacts


Students of grade four of Seroe Colorado's elementary
school, all thirty-five of them, enthusiastic, exhuberant
and vigorous, traced the steps of Aruba's early settlers
and searched for artifacts of the island's original culture
during a recent field trip into the cunucu. The children,
led by Severiano Luydens, Public Relations Department
tour leader and a knowledgeable votary of Aruban lore,
first visited Seroe Noka, then Seroe Boton and Ayo. Ac-
companying the children were their teachers Mrs. C. L.
Ward and Mrs. J. R. Carrol, who had arranged the cunucu
outing as an adjunct to the students' classroom study of
Aruba and its history and its people.


At Seroe Noka, the children searched the fields that
have given up many pieces of pottery and burial urns
This particular area, which is southeast of Hooiberg, has
been established as one of the major burial grounds of the
Arawaks. Many burial urns have been recovered in this
vicinity, and in some instances the urns that were intact
still enclosed skelletal remains of the indians for whom the
urns were created. The children did not find urns or sec-
tions of urns, but they did uncover many fragments ot
pottery.
At Seroe Boton west of Jamanota, the Seroe Colorado
grade four students found additional pieces of pottery and


also shell fragments. The shell pieces sought bear holes
through their centers which lend similarity to buttons,
hence the locale's name. It is thought these pieces were
used as ornaments which could be strung or perhaps pieces
of exchange. The children found some and were delighted
with their discoveries.
The elementary school students' third stop was Ayo,
where, among other creations of nature, the monoliths
posed a delightful and formidable challenge to youthful
bodies and imaginative minds. Before the boulders could
be attacked, however, the nearby caves and rocks that
bear indian inscriptions had to be studied


AT AYO, the Seroe Colorado students viewed indian inscriptions on the walls of the caves
and hollows created by the positions of the huge boulders. Not only did the students ob-
serve the location and size of these ancient lodgings, but many copied the inscriptions.


NA AYO, e muchanan di school di Seroe Colorado a mira inscripcionlnan indian ariba mu-
raya di e cuebanal. No solanente e muchlanan a mira lI tar y tainanjo di e habitacioinan

Grants by Esso Education

Foundation to Schools

Total Near $1.8 Million
The Esso Education Foundation,
supported by Standard Oil Company
INew Jerseyl and six affiliates, has
contributed $1,798,500 in grants in
aid to education. M. J. Rathbone,
Jersey Standard president and chair-
man of the Esso Education Found-
ation, pointed out that with the cur-
rent program, the Foundation, since
its founding in 1955, will have made
grants totalling in excess of $13 mil-
lion.
Mr. Rathbone also drew attention
to the importance the Foundation at-
taches to unrestricted grants. Mak-
ing up more than two-fifths of the
total for the 1962-63 program, un-
restricted grants this year will go to
250 private United States' colleges
and universities and the United
Negro College Fund.
The Foundation is also continuing
its specialized grants for assisting
in capital expansion and develop-
ment, engineering and science, and
for various miscellaneous projects,
several of which are experiments in
new educational techniques.
A Foundation supported educatio-
nal experiment was made at Stevens
Institute of Technology in New Jer-
sey last summer. It consisted of a
four-week college entrance workshop
which enrolled high school gradua-
tes, the majority of whom had been
turned down for entrance to Stevens
As a result of the workshop almost
eighty per cent of those originally
felt to be unqualified for the Insti-
tute were admitted.
In the past eight years, the Found-
ation has made grants to 437 insti-
tutions of higher learning in the Dis-
trict of Columbia and forty-three
states

Jersey Standard's 1962

Consolidated Earnings

Reach Record Amount
Consolidated earnings of Standard
Oil Company (New Jersey) for 1962
are estimated to be $840 million, the
highest in the company's eighty-year
history and which also surpasses the
previous high of $809 million attain-
ed in 1956.
Expressing continued confidence in
Jersey's future outlook, M. J. Rath-
bone, president and chief executive
officer, indicated that the company's
capital expenditures for next year
are programmed at over $1 billion,
somewhat less than 1962's expendi-
tures. In addition, he said, $200 mil-
lion or more will be spent and charg-
ed to income next year in the search
for oil and gas reserves in the United
States and abroad. About $70 million
in research expenditures is also
planned.
"Looking ahead at the oil industry
picture generally, we continue to see
steady growth in consumption of
petroleum throughout the free world
where an average increase of four to
five per cent is expected over the.
next few years," Mr. Rathbone said.
"The free world's requirements for
petroleum and petroleum derived
products are expected to result in
annual increases of one million bar-
rels daily in this period.
World Increase
"Outside the United States, we an-
ticipate that over-all petroleum de-
mand will grow at the rate of eight
per cent annually," Mr. Rathbone
said. "Europe and the Far East, led
by Japan where Jersey Standard is
expanding its operations, are current-
ly the world's most rapidly growing
petroleum consumption areas."
In commenting on the improved
operating levels for 1962, Mr. Rath-
bone pointed to Jersey's higher world
sales volume, particularly in the rap-
idly growing Western European
market where the company's affil-
iates account for twenty-two per cent
of that area's sales, and to an in-
crease of eleven per cent in Jersey's
crude production domestically and
abroad.
Mr. Rathbone added that produc-
tion of crude oil from the company's
wholly-owned Libyan affiliate, which
began to flow to market late in 1961,
averaged about 125,000 barrels daily,
and is expected to rise to an average
of over 200,000 barrels daily in 1963.
Turning again to Jersey's capital
expenditures program for 1963, Mr.
Rathbone said that the approximate
functional distribution would be:
forty per cent for the production of
crude oil and gas; twenty-five per
cent for refining and petrochemical
facilities; twenty-five per cent for
marketing; and ten per cent for'
transportation and other uses.

Flotsam on Beach
Is Whale Remains
It was only a whale.
Even so, a whale in this area is
subject to consideration Agreed,
the whale is not as sensational as
some of the stories and claims
that surrounded the mass of bones
and flesh that was washed ashore
near the pitch pile recently, but it
is noteworthy that records of
whales in the Caribbean are scarce
and specimens very rare.
The authority for this inform-
ation is Dr. Ingvar Kristensen,
director of the Caribbean Marine
Biological Institute in Curacao,
who also stated that in 1959 a
rare species of whale floated as-
hore in Curacao


construct a fertilizer manufacturing
plant to cost in excess of $30,000,000.
The plant, which should be in oper-
ation by the beginning of 1965 and
will produce more than 300 tons of
ammonia per day, will be similar in
size to other Esso plants in Spain,
the Caribbean and South America
Plant capabilities include production
of urea, diammonium phosphate and
la full range of the most modern
'mixed fertilizers designed to meet
the particular needs in the islands'
agriculture.
C. A. Larsen, Philippine fertilizer
president, pointed out that increased
fertilizer manufacture is one of the
principal goals of the Philippine Gov-
ernmert's Five-Year Socio-Economic
Program, and said that the Esso
plant's products are expected to save
more than $10.000,000 annually of
foreign exchange expended for im-
ported fertilizers. The Esso project,
he said, reflects the company's con-
fidence in the economic and indus-
trial development of the Philippines,
where there is a favorable climate for
such capital investments
Mr. Larsen added that Esso in-
tends to offer Philippine investors
an opportunity to participate in the
project It is contemplated that such
participation in the equity would be
up to 25 per cent The company in-
tends to make a survey to determine
how and when the offer can best be
made in order to obtain wide partici-
pation.
