gineering work, which will

ed that this project, underta-
ken by the National Parks
Foundation (Aruba Division),
is of great importance for the
education and recreation of
Aruba's inhabitants as well as
of visitors to our island.
The National Parks Found-
ation was founded in 1962
and has as its objective the
acquisition, preservation and
protection of areas of geolo-
gical, archeological or histor-
ical interest, those which have
important animals and flow-
ers, and areas of natural or
landscape beauty. Since Aru.
ba's population will benefit
from these monuments, and
the island will have more at-
tractive and interesting spots
for visitors to see, this work
by the Foundation could be
called an investment in the
future of Aruba.


Tribute on 40th Anniversary

On the occasion of its

ceived numerous tele-
grams, letters, ads in
newspapers, over the ra-
dio and television as well
as several floral pieces
all expressing congratu-


lations and best wishes
to the Company.

Lago management ap-
preciated this gesture on
the part of the commun-

go's fortieth year of refining
in Aruba, I think it a fitting
occasion to spend the evening
with a group of employees

tiative and resourceful think-
ing, submitted ideas which
resulted in more efficient op-
eration of the company and
financial reward for them-
selves".
Mr. Ballenger also com-
mended the recipients' super-
visors, who were also present,
on their roles in providing as-
sistance to suggesters in cla-
rifying or developing ideas.
,,With his experience and
knowledge, the supervisor can
do much to stimulate more
and better ideas," Mr. Bal-
lenger said.


Alphonso Rodriguez


To qualify for a capital
award at Lago, an employee
must have received at least
Fls. 300 in awards for ideas
adopted and installed during
the year. These eleven men
already received fls. 7,700 in
initial and supplemental
awards. Total individual
awards these capital award
winners received during the
year ranged from FIs. 315 to
Fla. 1320. Total awards paid
out for all accepted ideas dur-
ing 1968 amounted to
Fls. 19,712. During the past

Lago-Sponsored Seminar Teaches

Lago is sponsoring a 4-
week seminar on Human Her-
edity from March 4-27, 1969.
Taught by Professor Irwin H.
Herskowitz of Hunter College,
City University of New York,
the seminar will cover such
topics as the nature of repro-
duction, the material basis of
heredity, sex differentiation,
sex determination, multiple
births, races and species,
genes, traits and parent-child
relationships.
The eight sessions of the
seminar will be held in GOB
Room 200 on Tuesdays and
Thursday, from 4:30 to 6:30
p.m. The company will absorb
two-thirds of the total cost of
the seminar. The remaining
one-third of the cost will be

lumbia University, has been a
Professor of Biology at Hun-
ter College since 1963. He is
author of more than 100
scientific works, including the
textbooks GENETICS and

Fire Section's Newest Pump Truck

Is Compact, Easier to Operate s


Lago's Fire Section recently
received its newest asset: a
pumper truck with a solution
tank capacity of 1000 gallons
which can pump water and/or
foam at the rate of 1000 gal-
lons per minute.
Provided with what is call-
ed a "balanced proportioning
system", foam making can be
automatically or manually
controlled for supplying foam
solution between 3% and 6%
mixed with water for fighting
fires.
The unit represents the lat-
est in firefighting equipment
for industrial use. It is more
compact in size, has open and


therefore more accessible hose
connections and is simpler to
operate because of a more
compact control panel.
Whereas the older fire
trucks have only four outlets
for connecting fire hoses, all
on one side, the new truck
has three connections on each
side. The truck has also been
equipped with double monitor
nozzles for handling foam or
water. In addition, the solu-
tion tank of the new unit can
be refilled during operations
through a special connection.
The new pumper truck will
replace a 750-gallon unit that
is fifteen years old.

Instrument panel and hose connections on new pumper
truck is more accessible than on older trucks.
