With the Assi
To help finance some new
projects of Aruba's YMCA,
Lago recently awarded a cash
donation to this youth organi-
zation. Lago's Vice President
LeRoy Johnston presented the
check to the Y's president,
Mr. F. Loonstra, during a visit
to the YMCA building in San
Nicolas.
"Recognizing the growing
need of your organization for
more and better facilities for
the benefit of Aruba's youth,
we are more than pleased to
help the 'Y' continue its ex-
cellent programs for charac-
ter building and leadership
training", Mr. Johnston said.
The YMCA will use Lago's
donation to finance three new
projects for the benefit of
Aruba's youth. These are:

A. Building of a roller skat-
ing rink at Dakota in
Oranjestad, which will al-
so serve as a basketball
and volleyball court.
B. Construction of an all-
purpose room for Dakota
faniltiles

This room will improve
the Dakota Center and
make it possible to pro-
vide a much broader range
of programs for the Oran-
jestad members.


C. Construction of a snack-
bar at the San Nicolas
facilities.
Accompanying Mr. Johnston
on this special occasion were
Lago's Public & Industrial Re-
lations Manager B. E. Nixon,
Mechanical Manager K. L.
Weill, and Comptroller T. J.
Keevan. The Secretary-Gen-
eral of the YMCA, Mr. J.
Guastavino, and YMCA Trea-
surer B. S. Whitney were al-
so present.
Aruba's YMCA, founded in
1959, operates two branches,
one in San Nicolas and one
in Oranjestad. Activities of-
fered at these centers are de-
signed to teach the youth and
adolescents how to make more
constructive use of their leis-
ure time by means of sports,
hobbies, artistic and cultural
developments

Up and Down the Safe Way I


An amazing number of
home accidents occur especial-
ly around the time before
Christmas because of careless
use of ladders. A lot of us
forget the rules of safety
when climbing to paint the
house or a room or perform-
ing other major or minor
chores.
One of the most common
of -unsafe practices is the use
of a ladder that is too short.
You can thus be thrown off
balance when you stretch for
a far reach.
A good rule to follow with
an upright ladder is to see
that it extends at least 4 feet
higher than the area you are
working. A ladder of the pro-
per length will give you full
support and assure you safe
balance.
Placement Is Important
The angle of a ladder's
placement is important. If you
place it against the side of
a house with its base too far
out, you can break it in half
when climbing, and consequ-
ently hurt yourself. If the
ladder base is too close to the
house, you might tip back-
ward after reaching the top.
For rigidity and safety, you
should place an upright lad-
der so that the space between
the ladder's bottom and the
house wall is about one-fourth


of the length of the ladder.
Most injuries because of
slips on a ladder are caused
by the climber's neglect to
place his feet firmly on the
rungs. It's also very impor-
tant to keep your hands in the
proper place as well as your
feet.















Observance of safety rules
is just as necessary with a
stepladder as with an upright
ladder. Too many people are
inclined to stand on the top
of the ladder when hanging
curtains, or placing a picture
on the wall or hanging a lamp
in the ceiling.
In many cases, the steplad-
der is too short. Since the
average height of most ceil-
ings in homes is 9 feet, a safe
stepladder is one that stands
at least 5 feet when open.
Above all, use common
sense at all times when work-
ing on ladders and avoid using
substitutes.

Use of Radio-Isotopes Is Safe and Efficient for Inspecting Equipment









4A


Freddy v/d Berg of E.I.S.
opens lead-paneled room
where isotopes are kept.
Freddy v/d Berg di E.I.S. ta
habri cuarto cu panel di

As in most industries, Lago
has been using radioactive ma-
terials for many years to detect
flaws in metals, to determine
thickness and condition of me-
tals, to inspect welds, to deter-
mine liquid levels in tanks or
to locate stoppage in lines.
These radioactive materials,
commonly called isotopes, can
handle most inspection jobs
more quickly, more safely and
more accurately.
Specially trained inspectors
of Mechanical's Equipment
Inspection Section use the
gamma rays of isotopes for
radiographic inspection of La-
go's equipment.
Lago has two units of Iri-
ditron Model 40, each con-
taining an Iridium 192 source,
and one unit of Unitron Mo-
del 110A with a Cobalt 60
source.

Operation and Precautions
for Users and Other Workmen

The three radio-isotope units
are kept in a locked lead-lined
room at the E.I.S. laboratory.
Each of the units consists of:
(1) the shield head, which is
a lead-lined container for the
radiation source; (2) a 25 feet
flexible control cable with a
source position indicator; and
(3) a flexible source tube
through which the source
travels to the point of expo-
sure. Whenever they are
transported or are not in use,
the sources are locked in their
protective lead shields.
Before exposing a radio-iso-

tope for radiography, the area
is roped off 40 feet all around
and signs are put to warn
other workers. The units per-
mit remote radiography of ob-
jects that are 50 feet away
from the operator.

To make a radiography of
a piece of metal, a film is
placed behind the metal and
the source is exposed opposite
the film at a specific distance
and for a specific period. Af-
ter the operator has used the
control handle (which is about
20 feet from the source con-
tainer) to direct the source to
its exposure point, he walks
away to a safer distance. He
returns to the control handle
only when he has to bring
back the source into the con-
tainer.

For his personal protection,
the user of the isotope must
have five protective devices
with him and must observe
the same rules as those laid
down by the U.S. Atomic
Energy Commission. The pro-
tective equipment includes: a
film badge which, after dev-
elopment, indicates the dosage
of radioactivity absorbed; two
pocket dosimeters to indicate
instantly the total accumulat-
ed dosage of radiation to
which the user had been ex-
posed; two survey rate meters
for monitoring the radiation
area and to determine whether
the radio-isotope has been sa-
fely retracted from the source

At this end, the control cable is hooked on a
connection to the isotope. Before this, that
section had to be unlocked by a key.
Na e banda aki, e cable di control ta ser poni

e section ey master a ser habri cu un yabi
special.


As soon as Pedro starts turning the handle here,
the isotope some 25 feet away moves out of its
container. In a few seconds he can move away.
Tan pronto cu Pedro cuminza draai e crank aki, e
isotopo cu ta como 25 pia leuw ta sali for di su con-
tenedor. Den poco second, el ta move di ey.

Willem Lampe Had a Narrow Escape

From Iron "Snake" in the Ground


A few weeks ago, on Nov-
ember 4, Willem Lampe, an
equipment operator in Mech-
anical-Equipment Operators
Section, was leveling the area
at Lago's dump site with a
payloader. He was sitting high
in the cabin (about 10 feet
above ground) and some 12
feet away from the bucket in
front of him.

All of a sudden, while mov-
ing forward with his vehicle,
he heard a crash on the wind-
shield and saw a piece of iron
rod penetrating through the
safety glass. As he heard the
crash, he moved rapidly aside.
The rod missed him and stop-
ped, pointing up to the roof of
the cabin. The rod was prob-
ably caught by the payloader's
huge tires and through the


forward push had developed
the force to pierce the wind-
shield like an arrow.

Fortunately enough, Willem
was only a little shocked by
seeing this sudden intruder.
He never expected that a hid-
den piece of iron rod could
act like a boomerang and
reach into his cabin.

Willem feels a tractor may
be safer to use for that type
of job than a payloader, be-
cause from the seat of the
tractor he has a clearer view
of the ground on which he is
moving.

This incident puts more em-
phasis on Lago's slogan for
this year: Employees must
watch out and "Expect the
Unexpected."


Though the operator was sitting high and dry (about 10
feet), the seven feet long, one inch thick rod hit with
enough impact to make a hole in the windshield made of
safety glass. The operator, Willem Lampe, was not hurt.

Aunque e operator tabata sinta haltu y secu (como 10 pia
haltu), e barra di heru di siete pia largu y un duim diki a
dal cu un bastante impact pa traha un buracu den e wind-
shield cu ta di glas di seguridad. E operator, Willem Lampe,
no a haya ningun desgracia.

Willem Lampe a Scapa di Chiripao

Di un "Colebra" di Heru den Suelano


Algun siman pasa, Novem-
ber 4, Willem Lampe cu ta
operator di equipo den Mech-
anical, Seccion di Operadornan
di Equipo, tabata nivelando e
tereno na Lago su dump cu
un chubatu. E tabata sintA
haltu den e cabin (10 pia
riba tera), y casi 12 pia leu
for di e baki cu ta keda di-
lanti di djd.
Di repente, mientras cu e
tabata move dilanti den su
vehiculo, el a sinti algu dal
un sla contra e windshield y
el a mira un pida heru cu a
drenta door di e glas di se-
guridad. Tendiendo e golpi, el
a hala liher un banda. E barra
no a rakd y a keda pega cu
e punta mustrando den dak di
e vehiculo. Kizas e tayernan
gigantesco di e chubatu a co-
he e barra di heru, y door di
forza cu ta bai dilanti a haya
suficiente forza pa perfora e
windshield mescos cu un fle-
cha.
Afortunadamente Willem a
spanta solamente un poco ora
cu el a mira e intruso drenta
den e cabina. Nunca el a spe-
ra cu un pida heru scondi den
tera por a lanta bula manera
un bumerang y drenta su ca-
bina.


Segun Willem ta pensa, unll ]
tractor por ta mas sigur pa e ;h
tipo di trabao aki cu un chu- oi
batu, pasobra for di asiento or
di un tractor e tin un bista; h;
mas cla riba e tereno camindai n,
e ta bai moviendo. I Is
E ocurencia aki un bez mas or

donan mester paga tinu y
"Spera Lo InesperA".

tube into the source shield.
With the survey rate meter,
the minimum safe distance is
determined. This distance per--
mits not more than 2 milli-.
roentgens of radiation in any
one hour. 4
At Lago, the personnel
working with the radio-iso-
topes are allowed minimum
exposure to radiation because
most radiography jobs can be
performed within three to four ul
minutes of actual exposure ul
time. For safeguarding their n
health, they are required to g9
take periodic blood tests. er
Wherever possible, this type t
of work is done in areas
where other workers are not )n
present.
