Teachers Get 3000 Books,
Three Truckloads In All,
For Their Island Classes
About 3000 textbooks, declared
surplus from Seroe Colorado Elemen-
tary School, were donated to a dozen
island schools March 5. Teachers and
school officials from twelve of the
island's Protestant, Roman Catholic
and government public schools came
to the Lago Reception Center to
choose books for their classes from
the three pickup truck loads left
there.
The books were declared surplus
because of the shrinking pupil pop-
ulation at Seroe Colorado, according
to Supervising Principal D. V. Thomp-
son. The books, for students in kin-
dergarten through Grade 6, include
such topics as flowers, safety, neigh-
bors and animals.
Tour Leader Severiano Luydens
said the amount of books was the
largest yet received at the Reception
Center. Only twenty books remained
after the teachers had made their
selections for their classes. These will
be given to Lago employees, as is
customary when small amounts of
books are received.

nan instructor, a bisa. El a duna nan un mehor comprendemento di e


aplicacionnan quimico cu nan ta stu-

Three Men Receive Thirty-Year Awards;

Youngest Is Only Forty-Six Years Old
Three men were guests of honor at the special management start
meeting March 13. The men were Alberto Kelly and Daniel Ras, both
of Mechanical-Metal Crafts, and Patricio Croes of Process-Cracking
and Light Ends. The occasion was the awarding of thirty-year service
emblems and certificates to the three men.


Welcoming them to the meeting
and expressing the company's appre-
ciation for their long and faithful
service was General Manager F. C
Donovan, who also anticipated that
they would look on their accomplish-
ment and its recognition with pride.
Mechanical Department Manager
J R. Protema spoke for the two men
in his department. He told the group
that Alberto Kelly's Lago employ be-
gan n December, 1930. From that
day to this, Mr. Proterra explained,

Five HBS Students Get New Insight


In Book-Learning and Island Industry
Five Colegio Arubano students received a new insight into the old
question of "Why do we have to study this stuff?" when their chem-
istry teacher helped arrange a refinery tour for them.
"They liked the tour very much," said J. G. M. Schenk, their instruc-
tor. It gave them a better understanding of the applications of the
chemistry they've been studying, he said. "This is what we need, a
better understanding."
"I'd told them everything in the classroom," Mr. Schenk explained,
but explanations are made much more understandable when students
may see actual experiments put to practical use in industry.
Participating in the tour were Dennis Henriquez, Robbie Bodnautsch,
Ram Daryamani, Mariam Dennissan and Alvin Conner, who make up
the membership of the chemistry class. A similar group also accom-
panied Mr. Schenk on a refinery tour a year ago.
Students in the school's highest class had expressed a desire to know
more about industries in the United States and Holland, he said. The
first tour was arranged because of that curiosity, and "we hope we can
continue it each year," he said.
Government scholarships will assist some students in furthering
their educations. A requirement of such a program, he said, is that the
student return here on its completion so the government will receive
some of the benefit from the student's training.
Some students prefer not to apply for the government scholarship,
but would rather enter industry elsewhere. The tour of Lago, Mr.
Schenk felt, will do much to stimulate interest in returning here.
Their Lago tour included a visit to the Acid and Edeleanu Plant,
where the visitors had expressed a desire for an explanation of the
sulphur recovery process; and trips to the Cat Cracker, the labora-
tories and NFAR.
Lab Technician Felix R. Croes showed the group the well-stocked
chemical supplies, and explained the purpose and operation of some of
the complex laboratory equipment. These included the gas chromato-
graphy equipment, used in analyzing the hydrocarbons and liquid com-
ponents in refinery processing; and flash point determination instru-
ments, which find the lowest temperature at which an oil or fuel gives
off enough vapor to form a mixture which will ignite.
The group gave close attention to pilot plant equipment, and saw
Lago technicians analyze a crude oil sample for its bottom sediment
and water content. Lab Technician B. F. Dirkz showed the class some
of the colder temperatures encountered in the refinery, pouring liquid
nitrogen from a vacuum flask onto the floor. Because of its extreme
temperature, minus 320 degrees F., it boiled away.

Ruperto Angela Leads Safe Drivers

With Twenty-Four Accident-Free Years


THE SAFE driving incentive program is being led by Ruperto Angela of
Mechanical-Transportation. His twenty-four years of driving without an
accident made him the safest of the ninety-six drivers participating in the
program to the end of 1962.
E PROGRAMA pa stimula stuurmento cu seguridad ta encabeza pa Ru-
perto Angela di Mechanical-Transportation. Si binti-cuater anja como

A twenty-four-year record of safe driving was completed through
1962 by one of the ninety-six drivers participating in the Lago Safe
Driving Incentive program. Ruperto Angela, who compiled the out-
standing record, has spent twenty-five of his thirty-two years with
Lago in Mechanical-Transportation.
Presently a water truck driver, he
began driving a truck for the dining Figaioa ot Transportation, twelve
hall about 1938 He later went to the years; A R C. Webster of Account-
Marine Department, where he drove ing, almost twelve years; G. T. Walle
a taxi for some time. of LOF. eleven and a half years:


The roads were iough, bumpy and
dusty then, he recalled, and some of
his most unpleasant driving was en-
countered on the long trips to Oran-
jestad and other communities north
of San Nicolas. Traffic wasn't so
heavy in those years, however, but
driving still required a great deal of
caution.
Alertness and caution, Mr Angela
said, were prime requisites to safe
driving.
The program, sponsored by the
Safety Division, provides payments
of Fls. 10 for each three-month per-
iod in which participating drivers
meet its requnements. They're judg-
ed not only on their driving habits
and lecoid, but on their general per-
formance of regular duties, too.
Others leading the list of safe dri-
vers are: Francisco Maduro of Trans-
portation, almost twenty-one years
without an accident; Eugenmo van
der Biezen of Storehouse, almost
nineteen yeais; Maximo R. Arends of
Transportation, eighteen years: Do-
mmico Bislhp of Transportation, six-
teen years; Ramon Monte and Tho-
mas D. Tromp of Transportation and
Jose M. Kock of Machinist, fifteen
years each
Also, Abelino C. Croes of Trans-
poitation, fourteen years; Aloysius


Federico Tromp of Laboratory, eleven
years; Demetiro Koolman of Store-
house, Estanisleo Koolman of Trans-
portation and Pedro D Croes of
Yard, ten years each.
There are other drivers also with-
out disqualification since driving in
the contest, all with less than ten
years' safe drivmg to their credit.
Fifty-three of the drivers involved
in the program have had accidents.
These had a total of eighty-five acci-
dents since the start of the program.
One member of this group was in-
volved in five collisions. One of the
drivers was in four accidents, and
seven had three accidents each.
Eleven of the drivers in this group
of fifty-three had two accidents each,
and thirty-three had only one acci-
dent.

A CASH award of FIs. 30 goes to Antonie Brown of Mechanical-Yard on
his selection as Safety Suggester-of-the-Month. He suggested installing
guards on lathe motor ends to keep out metal chips.

Antonie Brown Selected

As CYI Safety Suggester;

Wins FIs. 30 Cash Award
Antonie Brown, a janitor in Mech-
anical-Yard, has been selected as
Safety Suggester-of-the-Month under
Lago's Coin-Your-Ideas program. Mr.
Brown's winning suggestion was that
guards be installed on all lathe mo-
tors in the Machine Shop.
A screen or deflector will be used
which will prevent metal chips and
shavings from passing through the
holes at the ends of the lathe motors.
The suggestion earned Fls. 30 for
Mr. Brown.
H. P. E. Ecury, assistant zone su-
pervisor, said the improvement would
completely eliminate the chance that
these chips can cause a motor failure.
Screens will be installed on the near-
side of motors having larger open-
ings. About fifteen motors will be in-
volved.
Some of the motors are presently
screened, or have relatively small end
openings. These aren't affected by
Mr. Brown's suggestion.
Other Coin-Your-Ideas winners for
February were:
