Premium Deduction Explained For

Old Age and Widow-Orphan Insurance
The Netherlands Antilles Government has enacted legislation
introducing a compulsory Widow and Orphan Insurance effective
Jan. 1, 1966. The tax rate on this insurance has been established
at one per cent (1% ) of earnings on a maximum of Fls. 6,000
per year. One-half per cent ('2I' ) is to be paid by the employee

of the premium be withheld by

In compliance with the stipu-

S. The Best Teacher

Personal experience is a prized possession and a valuable asset.
We learn best by doing.
With a new year in front of us, now is a good time to take
stock of what has been accomplished and learned in the old year.
Most of us point with pride to the fact that we have 10 or 15
years in a particular job. Rightly so. Experience cannot be pur-
chased. It's a personal thing.
But because experience is so personal, what we do with it is f
also up to each one of us. It's fine to say one has 15 years ex-
perience in a particular job. However, we must continue to ana- 4
lyze where we've been and where we intend to go. Otherwise, we
might merely have one year's experience 15 times.
This same process of looking where you've been to deter-
mine where you're going applies both on and off the job. Many DEBRA BISLIP displays the ta

Mighty Popular Poncho Wins Crown

From King Paul in Calypsonian Contest
"I challenged King Paul two years ago", said the Mighty Pop-
ular Poncho. "It's time I get that crown".
"Ah going to beat King Paul. He's going to get licks tonight,"
boasted Lord Boksu.
"Down with King Paul", chanted the Mighty Stingaray.
These were some of the com-


ments before the calypsonian
contest at the Lago Sport Park
last week. But the Mighty Pop-
ular Poncho was the only one
who made good his boast to be-
come Aruba's 1966 Calypso
King. He dethroned King Paul
who had the crown for the past
two years.
King Paul had to be satisfied
with second place. Besides being
viciously attacked by some of
the calyp.-onians, King Paul ai-
3o had Etrong competition from
Young Quicksilver. Quicksilver
placed third place with the hit
"Black Ginger" (West Indian
slang for voodoo). His song
"Wholesome Strain" was chosen
as the road march for the carni-
val.
The song that got Poncho the
nod of the judges was "My Ti-
ger". He came on the stage with
his Esso Tiger but was reluctant
to put it in a tank because:
"I don't think it's clean
I can't have my tiger
smelling like gasoline."
In addition to the traditio-
nal "woman", the shrewdness of
the calypsonians and the mon-
ster which has been prowling a-
round Savaneta, Aruba was also
featured in the lyrics.


Some of the verses of a calyp-
so on Aruba by Rowlie (Nat)
Williams follow:

"This little place with sunshine for so
The best in the whole wide world you
know
Aruba is a place everyone could see
A place that remains in your memory
And if you want to live long and
enjoy good life
Aruba is the land of paradise
Talking about sanitation
We have the best in the Caribbean
I hope you don't think that this is a
boast
Take a good look, watch us very close
And if you want to live long and
enjoy good life
Aruba is the land of paradise
The thing that really helped our
country
Is Lago Oil & Transport Company
They have done a great deal for our
community
So give them a big hand for their
charity
So if you want to live long and enjoy
good life
Aruba is the land of paradise."
In the steelband contest held
the same night, Antilles Steel
Orchestra emerged as champion.
Twinkling Stars of Paradera
won the second and Aruba In-
vaders the third place.

promoted to assistant zone su-
pervisor in Field Coordination,
now part of the M & C Division.
Mr. Ziemba has three years
of service. He was employed in

two months were students who
visited Lago as part of vacation
recreational programs. The
largest single group of visitors
was 130 altar boys who spent
part of the day at the Lago
Sport Park.
A special visitor in 1965, was
annuitant Thomas Croes. who
became Lago's 50,000th visitor
in May.
Among the visitors last year
were members of social clubs,
credit unions, religious organ-
izations, schools, youth clubs,

ors and employee family mem-
bers.
Conducting the tours was
Public Relations Assistant Se-

Management Members 'Profit' From

Sound Methods Using Training Games
Different visual aids are used in the current phase of the Ef-
fective Management Course. Instructors use films, viewgraphs,
handouts etc. to illustrate points of discussion.
One of the most unusual aids used is dominoes. They are used
to demonstrate the effect and importance of reciprocal action
or "feedback" in the communi-
cation sessions. te Deduccion pa Premionan
