As a result of the incident,
the complete ammonia bulk
handling facilities were re-
viewed and a number of cor-
rective steps were taken to
improve safety of these facil-
ities. One of these improve-
ments includes a special verti-
cal valve release line on both
drums, which line would blow
up the ammonia vapors over
the drum, thus eliminating
the previous condition.

By Wearing His
As a safety-conscious wor-
ker, Dominico Winterdal al-
ways wears his safety goggles
in areas where he should use
them. That was also the case
on July 15, 1970 when he was
attempting to connect a hose
to the north ammonia bulk
drum north of the Tar Plant.
While doing this, the safety
valve on the drum released
and sprayed ammonia vapors
on his face and chest. His
eyes, however, were well pro-
tected by his goggles. The
spray caused only minor skin
burns on his face.
If he had not been wearing
his safety goggles at that
time, he might have sustained
serious injury to his eyes.
Dominico, an assistant ope-
rator in Process-Fuels Divi-
sion, saved his precious eyes
by observing the safety rules,
which are laid down for pro-
tecting employees, and by

Sun Rays Can Cut Like a Torch

If Assisted By Some Reflector


A lady's mirror or, in fact,
any mirror can be a very in-
nocent looking object. But if
it catches the blazing sun
rays and directs them to a
specific point, it can turn its
target into something like an
inferno.
This is almost what hap-
pened last month to the car
of Sev Luydens of PR/IR. His
wife left a mirror on the seat
of his car. Between twelve
noon and 1:30 p.m., the car
was parked in such a way
that the penetrating sun rays
were hitting the mirror on an
exact angle to focus the heat
rays on a point of the dash-
board.
After some minutes, the
heated polyvinyl and foam
covering of the dashboard be-
gan to burn, as if cut by a
slowly moving, invisible torch.
As the sun moved in a west-
ern direction, the piercing
heat rays moved further,
leaving a burned strip of


about 12 inches long, one half
inch wide and about one quar-
ter of an inch deep.
Meanwhile smoke filled the
interior of the car and the
burning smell was spreading.
This alerted people in the
neighborhood who rushed to
the car. After a little search-
ing, they found that it was
the mirror and sun that had
caused the smoke. Luckily,
the car's windows were al-
most completely closed, so
that there was not enough
fresh air or oxygen to cause
a flame.
If not discovered in time,
the car might have burned
out completely. The accident
might then have been attri-
buted to a short circuit in the
electrical system or to a
lighted cigarette butt that
might have been left in the
car. But no one would have
thought of an "innocent look-
ing" mirror that was left in
the car.


Ildefonso Lampe Earns Two Diplomas

By Completing Electricity Courses


Originally a machinist who
worked for about 21 years in
the Machine Shop, Ildefonso
A. Lampe about three years
ago took an interest in elec-
trical work and was transfer-
red to the Electric Shop. Be-
fore joining the Electric Shop,
he completed two courses in
electricity: the Advanced The-
ory of Electricity (1-4 year
of study), and a Basic Elec-
tricity course (2 years). Both
night courses were given at
the Aruba Technical School.

Continuing his electrical
study, he recently obtained
two additional diplomas by
following night classes at the
Technical School. After a six-


month training, he obtained
the Assistant Electrician cer-
tificate. The other diploma,
for 2nd Class Electrician, re-
quired him to attend night
classes for one year.
While the Assistant Elec-
trician course is more practi-
cal, the course for 2nd Class
Electrician includes theory
and demonstrations. The lat-
ter course was given three
times a week from 6:30 p.m.
to 9:30 p.m.

An equipment tradesman A-
Electrical, Ildefonso this year
also completed a Related
Electricity Course, Parts I, II,
III and IV, given by Lago.

James E. Brown of Parsons Finds

Rare Marine Animal: A Sea Mouse


On one of his early morning
dives near the wreck "Antil-

Point), James E. Brown rec-
ently found a sea mouse. He
was lucky to catch this
strange creature still on the
sandy bottom, as these sea

animals dig themselves into
the sand as soon as the sun
comes up. The sea mouse is a
flattened sea urchin with long,
fine hair. The one Jim found
was 8 inches long, 6 inches
wide and 2-y, inches thick
and shaped like an egg. It
was found in about twelve
feet of water.

At home, Jim removed the
skin of the animal and the
inner parts. After treatment
with some detergent, a beauti-
ful, snow-white shell was left,
with magnificent designs on
the top and the bottom.

Jim, an area superintendent
of Parsons Corporation which
is the main contractor for
Lago's Hydrodesulfurization
Project, spends much of his
free time skindiving in the
waters around the island. The
sea mouse was one of his rar-
est finds.
