LAGO CONTRIBUTED building supplies, technical

approximately Fls. 3600.

Fire reduced the home of Mrs.
Maria Jack to ashes last Septem-
ber. It also destroyed furniture
and belongings of Mrs. Jack and
five children. None was injured,
fortunately, the family was out of
the house when the fire started.
The complete destruction left
them with only the clothes they
wore.
Community organizations wast-
ed no time in assisting the troubl-
ed family. Leading the movement
to aid was the Sociedad Bolivari-
ana women's section and its chair-
man, Mrs. A. Walfenzao. The dis-
placed family was provided im-
mediate assistance. Community
spirit to assist others in need act-
ed as a catalyst in turning
thoughts into actions. Money, la-
bor, knowledge and materials were
directed toward providing a re-
placement house.
Two dozen organizations and in-
dividuals made cash and material
donations to the effort to provide
a new dwelling for the family.
Lago, the Aruba Construction
Company and Elmar indicated
their willingness to assist Mrs.
Walfenzao's committee, and Nov.
18 construction of a new home
was begun. Little more than three
months later, Jan. 25, the house
was completed and presented to
Mrs. Jack by Mrs. Walfenzao.
The house has four bedrooms, a
bathroom, and a living room sep-
arated from the kitchen by a four-
foot room divider. The dwelling
was designed by W. J. van den
Heuvel of Lago's Technical De-
partment. All construction mat-
erials were donated by Lago, and
the Aruba Construction Comp-
any's fee for building the home
was much less than its normal
charge would be for like construc-
tion. Electrical installation work
was done by Elmar without
charge, and volunteers of Sava-
neta Marines painted the home.

goes, many of the spheroid tanks are being rapidly replaced. Only six of
them remain in the tank farm.

Of Lago


Help Maintain The World's
Each day over 400,000 barrels of crude roars through the maze of
pipelines into Lago. Its first stop is the tank farm. Each day, also,
equivalent barrels of products are pumped aboard the numerous tan-
kers whose destinations are the more than eighty locations world-wide.
These industrial complexes continue to function and homes are heated,

As can be imagined, the invest-
ment in a tank farm of Lago's size
and capacity is enormous and is
about three guilders a barrel of ca-
pacity or about sixty million guil-
ders.
To protect this investment and to
keep the tank farm operating smooth-
ly and efficiently around the clock,
some 200 men are required. This in-
cludes tank operation, maintenance
and repair, the pipelines leading to
and from the tanks, the roads in the
area and the pump house personnel
who regulate the flow of crude and
products both in and out of the great
metal containers.
The tanks themselves are of vary-
ing sizes and geometric shapes, with
each group of tanks designed for
specific functions and products
Crude and heavy products, such
as fuel oil, are stored primarily in
the cone-roof tanks which are paint-
ed black to absorb the sun's rays.
They can be easily recognized by an
aluminum ring painted around the
top. The lighter products, such as
butane, are stored in football-shaped
vessels.

Numerous problems arise in the
normal course of operating a tank

by the Process Department.
The Mechanical Department per-
forms maintenance and repairs
Safety is of major concern in the
tank farm, as it is throughout Lago.
In the tank farm, though, as a result
of leakage, an ever-present problem,
combustible products can be exposed
to sparks or static electricity. Of
course, as a precaution, safety and
fire-fighting features are built into
the tanks.
Aruba's corrosive atmosphere pre-
sents the greatest hazard to the
tanks and accounts for the extensive
maintenance each tank requires. A
similar tank in a location like Ari-
zona, with low humidity and no salt
spray, could last indefinitely with
