Lago Gifts Help Dutch Marine Corps

In Celebration of 300th Anniversary
A very fine crafted emblem will symbolize "the pleasant and
long-standing relationship between Lago and the Marines."
On Friday, Dec. 10, Lago President W. A. Murray described
the "excellent cooperation through the years" and presented an


exact copy in brass of the Ma-
rine regimental emblem to the
"work committee for a gift to
the Marine Corps."
The thought of presenting
such an emblem was developed
by the Reserve Officers Asso-
ciation of the Netherlands. It
was constructed in the Lago
Tinshops. This is one of several
ways in which Lago is particip-
ating in the Corps' 300th anni-
versary celebration.
Accepting for the committee
was its chairman Dr. O. A. Bijl.
He was accompanied by Mr. J.
van der Schoot, Committee
secretary, and Mr. L. van Geol.
The three Lago employees who
skillfully constructed the em-
blem were also at the presenta-
tion in Mr. Murray's office.
In addition to the colorful
emblem, the Lago President al-


so presented the Committee
with a cash donation. A while
back Lago also donated 4,000
liters of gasoline to the car ral-
ly, organized by the Marines, to
raise funds for their anniver-
sary celebration.
The regimental emblem, an
excellent example of artistic
craftsmanship, was made by
Marcelino Christiaans and
James Arrindell of the Lago
Tinshop. The careful painting
was done by Dominico Tromp.
Mr. Murray congratulated the
three men for this beautiful
piece of work.
The solid brass emblem, 27 by
23 inches, is painted in five co-
lors. It depicts a burst of sun-
rays topped with a crown, globe
and cross. In the center is a lion
within a shield.


THE THREE men who made the Marine emblem, from left to
right: J. Arrindell, M. Christiaans, D. Tromp.

Beaujon di PADSA (Publishing

A tuma Sr. Beaujon tres dia

pagina di Aruba Esso News
"Mi a camna cu e asignacion den
mi cabez pa tres dia," el a bisa
E asignacion tabata pa capture
e espiritu di Pascu na Aruba.
El a decidi cu e pintura mes-
ter munstra e idea di comparti
cu otro. Pero el tabata kier un
acercamento nobo pa e idea aki
cual ta mes bieuw cu Pascu mes.
Asina ta, cu el a laga e idea
"pasa rond" den su mente pa al-
gun dia.
Despues di a bini cu un mode
di ilustra e idea di comparti-
mento, el a traha cinco diferente
sketch., pero ningun di nan no
a satisface. Ariba e di seis cu el
a purba, el a produci e pintura
di pagina uno "Pascu Aru-
bano".
Sr. Beaujon, un Arubiano di
nacemento, a establece e firma
di publicidad yama PADSA na
1965. E lo habri su firma ofi-
cialmente na Januari, 1966
El a traha various anja na Es-
tados Unidos pa un empresa di
publicidad pa "haya algun ex-
periencia". Desde 1960, Sr.

;LH. Beaujon Displays
His Artistic Skills On
"Aruba Esso News Cover
The striking cover is a paint-
Sing by Herbert Beaujon of
-iPADSA (Publishing, Advertis-
ing and Distribution Services of
Aruba).
It took Mr. Beaujon three
days to finish the painting
which was commissioned espe-
cially for the Aruba Esso News
Cover. "I walked around with
Sthe assignment on my mind for
three days," he said.
He decided the painting would
have to show the idea of shar-
ing. But he wanted a novel ap-
proach to this idea, which is as
old as Christmas itself. So he
kept "turning it around" in nis
mind for a few days.
SAfter coming up with one
way of depicting the thought of
Sharing, he made five different
sketches but none satisfied
-ihim. On the sixth try, he pro-
Sduced the painting on the cover
"Pascu Arubano".
Mr. Beaujon, a native Aruban,
established the advertising firm
PADSA in 1965. He will offi-
cially open his firm in January
1966. His original interest, how-
Sever, did not lie in advertising.
After graduating from the Ju-
liana School, he continued his
studies at the Rutgers Prepara-
tory School in New Jersey and
later at the Oklahoma State
University. He graduated in
.1958 with a bachelor of science
Degree in geology.
After graduation, Mr. Beau-
Sjon worked two years for Shell
in Venezuela. For diversion, Mr.
Beaujon turned to painting and
drawing, long-time interests of
his. He found his hobby more
rewarding than his job. In 1960,
when he decided to go into busi-
ness for himself, his first con-
sideration was advertising.
In 1960, Mr. Beaujon return-
ed to the U.S. to work in the
advertising business to "gain
some experience". Since then,
Mr. Beaujon has worked off and
on in the U.S. and Aruba.


President Murray's
Christmas Message
I should like to take this
opportunity to extend Sea-
son's Greeting to all Lago
employees and their families,
annuitants and friends.
Building activity indicates
healthy growth. The past
twelve months have produced
dramatic examples of the
progress our island is
making. Construction work is
ready to start on new hotels
and the new airport terminal.
These are but two examples
of the varied building activi-
ty going on throughout the
island. Our rapidly expand-
ing tourist industry has been
further bolstered by the
forthcoming ferry service to
Venezuela.
Progress and change go
hand in hand. As Lago em-
ployees you can be proud of
the role you play both on
and off the job in helping
to keep Aruba moving for-
ward. Your honest efforts to
understand why different
changes are necessary have
provided the atmosphere for
deriving the best solution for
all concerned.
On behalf of my associates
and myself, I wish each of
you BON PASCU and a FE-
LIZ ANJA NOBO
W A. Murray.

It is true that even a very in-

the mechanical functions of
driving. He can start the car,
get it going and steer it (all
badly), but the important point
is that he doesn't have the judg-
ment and the reflexes to do
these things safely. This is true
after even a few drinks.
Don't Fool Yourself!

taken notion that a drink gives
a lift or stimulates the drinker,
thus making him or her a better

E Expresion di


Bebida No Ta Bon Companjero Ora

Ta Stuur Durante Dianan di Fiesta
E problema di bebemento y stuurmento ta uno di e factornan
principal cu ta causa accident di trafico.
E hecho aki ta probi pa hopi estudionan di accidentenan fa-

mitar di e chaufeurnan cu ta envolvi den accidentenan fatal a

Kende ta e Culpabel?
Un chaufeur cu a bebe frecuen-
temente y falsamente ta ser re-
feri como un "chauffeur bura-

Pa Ralph W. Seager

di Pascu:

Cu nos no por tende e voz di Hose su rezamentu.

E tocadisco ta mula e angua hacie'le tur gasta
Y ta suprimi e murmuramento di e palomanan
Otro cancionnan ta ser mezcla cu ritmo di rock and roll
Bo no ta tende mes e baca su intonacionnan.

Unda trafico ta move grunjando y pitonan ta rezona
Ta pasa un biento suave por ta angelnan ta bulando?
E hanchinan den misa ta yen, mientras den lachi placa

Y un much a perde... pero ningun hende ta tendE,

Sinembargo, esakinan ta e
hendenan cu ta causa mayoria

E bebedor social, no e burach6,
ta e problema mas grand ariba
nos caminanan y carreteranan.
Corda bon, cu e bebedornan so-

Hopi hende tin e idea robez cu
un poco traga lo no afecta nan

un error. Bebedornan mes nun-

Cuanto Trago?
Pa bo ta seguro y sin peligro,

mester stuur bo auto pronto.
Esaki no ta nifica cu bo no por

mas tanto bo mester warda

Un bon chaufeur ta capaz pa

This touching play, like Christmas itself, is meant
to be enjoyed by children. Groups of them in church-
es and schools can perform it over the holidays. The
parts are easily learned, and the scenery is very
simple. Grownups can help with the costumes.
Or read the play aloud with your family. Assign
each child a number of parts appropriate to his age.
If your children are too young to participate, they
can still enjoy your reading it to them.
Regardless of whether they take part in the play
or simply hear someone read it, your children will
find the true spirit of Christmas in this story.

This play is about the morning after Jesus was
born. He was born in Bethlehem, in a stable in back
of an inn. The people in the inn slept on soft, warm
beds, but all the rooms were full. So little Jesus, in
the stable, had to sleep on straw.

This play is make-believe. It is the story of what
happened to some lucky children in the inn when
they got up on the first Christmas morning. There
are no grownups in the play.
The biggest, oldest, most
important-looking person is
the ARCHANGEL. He (or
she) should be about 11 years
old. The next oldest person is
10. He is JOEL. His father
owns the inn. And there are
four spoiled children of a rich
merchant from Jericho. They
are RUTH, who is nine, RACHEL, who is eight, SU-
SANNAH, who is seven, and NOAH, who is five.
There are a lot of ANGELS. And there has to be
somebody who can crow like a rooster. And some-
body who can moo like a cow. And somebody who
can baa like a lamb.
Everything happens in the kitchen of the inn.
There is a cupboard with these things in it: butter,


jam, five slices of bread, cheese, and a pitcher of
milk. There is an empty milk bucket on the table.
There are two doorways. One leads out to the
stable, where Jesus and Mary and Joseph are. The
other leads into the main part of the inn.
JOEL begins the play. He comes out, bows, then
speaks to the audience. He speaks loudly, so every-
body can hear every word. All of the actors and ac-
tresses should do that.
JOEL: How do you do, and Merry Christmas. In
this play my name is Joel. I am the son of a man
who owns the only inn in Bethlehem. This is the
kitchen of my father's inn. (A rooster crows.) The
sun has just come up. Business is so good that my
father's inn is full. Some people have even had to
sleep in the stable. A cow moos and JOEL picks up
the bucket.) Every morning I go out to the stable
and milk the cow. That is where
I am going now. (JOEL goes to
the stable.)
(RUTH, RACHEL, SUSAN-
NAH, and NOAH come in from
the main part of the inn. RUTH
is their leader. NOAH comes
last, sucking his thumb. RUTH
makes sure they are all lined up
right and look nice.)
RUTH: Noah! Stop sucking
your thumb. (NOAH stops, but
not for long. RUTH speaks to
the audience.) How do you do,
and Merry Christmas. In this
play we are the four spoiled children of a merchant
from Jericho. I am Ruth.
RACHEL: I am Rachel. Our father is very rich. We
are on our way from Jericho to a place by the sea.
We are going to have a beautiful vacation.
SUSANNAH: I am Susannah. We are going to go
swimming and boating.
RUTH: We have spent the night in this inn. We

RACHEL: The cattle were low-

SUSANNAH: And shepherds
with their lanterns came and
went.
RACHEL: And a star as bright
as the sun shone in our window
all night. (A rooster crows.)
RUTH: So we have gotten up at
sunrise. Now we want break-
fast. Nobody seems to be here,
so we'll just help ourselves.
(RUTH goes to the cupboard.)
RACHEL: Noah, do you have
anything to say about last
night? (NOAH shakes his
head.) Then stop sucking your
thumb and sit down.
RUTH: There is bread, butter,
jam, cheese, and milk. There
isn't much just enough for
us. (RUTH starts taking the
food from the cupboard to the
table. She has to make three
trips. The others go on talking

JOEL: No good at all. We have

JOEL: We have been very self-
ish. (OTHERS repeat, "Selfish."
ALL hold up their pieces of
bread. ALL look at their pieces
hungrily.) I am the oldest one
here and the strongest. I should
be the bravest and the most un-
selfish. I will try. (JOEL closes
his eyes, then opens them and
puts his piece back on the plate.
The ARCHANGEL is delighted.
The ARCHANGEL goes on
showing how delighted he is,
every time a child does an un-
selfish thing.) There. (JOEL
smiles, showing how wonderful
he suddenly feels.)
RUTH: Oh dear, I know I
should do the same. I want to
do the same, but I don't think
I'm strong enough. I'll try.

eyes. Bravely, she puts her piece
on the plate.) There. (RUTH
smiles, showing how wonderful

SUSANNAH: If I don't eat the
bread, I'll die!
JOEL: You won't die. You'll
feel full and happy. I promise.
I've never felt this good.
RUTH: Neither have I!
RACHEL: Neither have I!
SUSANNAH: All right, I'll try.
Noah, you try with me. (SU-
SANNAH, NOAH close their
eyes. SUSANNAH opens her
eyes first. She places her piece
of bread on the plate.) There.

bread. (Finally NOAH opens his
eyes.)
RUTH: Noah, do you want to
give your bread to the Baby,
Mary, and Joseph, too? (NOAH
nods.) Do you want some help?
(NOAH nods. RUTH takes his
piece from him, puts it on the
plate.) Good for you, Noah.
(NOAH smiles, showing how
wonderful he suddenly feels.)
JOEL: Now, come on, every-
body! Take up your gifts and
follow me! (RUTH picks up the
bread. RACHEL picks up the
milk. SUSANNAH picks up the
butter and cheese. NOAH picks
up the jam. ALL hold their gifts
high.)

The Sound of Christmas
Our times have lost the humble Christmas sounds:
The bleat of sheep, the donkey's patient braying;
The amplifiers ring the bells so loud
We cannot catch the voice of Joseph praying.

The record player grinds the needle flat
And smothers out the breath of doves a-cooing;
The reindeer songs come mixed with rock and roll;
You'd never know the gentle cow was mooing.

Where traffic growls and silver whistles shriek,
That zephyr-wind would that be angels, flying?
The aisles are jammed as cash clangs on the till,
And one Child's lost... yet no one hears Him crying.

Some Hints on Handling Christmas Trees

For A Brighter and Safer Holiday Season
. Stand the tree in water outdoors until you are ready to use
it. Bring the tree indoors just before Christmas and remove it
as soon as it has served its purpose.
. The larger the tree, the greater the hazard, so do not get one
any larger than you need.
. Just before setting up the
tree, saw off the trunk at an sturdy, have a broad base, and
angle at least one inch above incorporate clamps for anchor-
the original cut. ing the tree.
. Support the tree well. On the Keep the tree away from
market are some excellent sources of heat and so that,

the audience.) Many minutes
have passed now. The children
have spent those minutes on
their knees, praying to God, and
adoring the Infant in the man-
ger, Jesus Christ, our Lord.
They have risen from their
knees. They are returning now.
(The ARCHANGEL faces the
door to the stable.) God bless
them. Here they are. (JOEL,
RUTH, RACHEL, SUSANNAH,
and NOAH come in. ALL wear
halos and arc smiling sweetly.
ALL have their hands pressed
together, as though in prayer.
They line up in front of the
ANGELS. They face the table,
but they pay no attention to the
presents. Their eyes look up at
Heaven.) Children, here on this
table is a reward for the love in
your hearts.
JOEL: (JOEL doesn't look at
the ARCHANGEL. JOEL still
smiles and looks at Heaven.)
No. My reward is not there.
(The ARCHANGEL pretends to
be surprised.)
RUTH: Nor is my reward there.
RACHEL: Nor mine.
SUSANNAH: Nor mine.
RUTH: Noah, is your reward in
Heaven, too? (NOAH nods and
points happily to Heaven.)
RUTH: Our reward isn't here,
but in Heaven.
ARCHANGEL: But look! These
lovely presents have your names
on them.
JOEL: Our reward this day is
the birth of Jesus Christ, our
Saviour.
RUTH: (RUTH says this to
Heaven.) Thank you, God, for
the Babe in the manger.
ALL CHILDREN: Amen.
ANGELS: Hooray!
ARCHANGEL: So be it. Merry
Christmas, children From now
on, good children like you shall
receive gifts on the anniversary
of this holy day. Let every child
follow your good example. Let
no child open his gifts until he
has thanked God for the great-
est gift of all, which is the Babe
in the manger. Merry Christ-
mas, children.
CHILDREN AND ANGELS:
Merry Christmas. END
