Bill Hodgson Turns in Best Slogan

In November Traffic Safety Contest


Lago Annuitant Bill Hodgson,
who had been foreman in Store-
house and retired in 1961, was
the winner of the November Es-
so Traffic Safety Contest. His
winning slogan was: "We pro-
mise to drive safely, please help
by walking carefully."
Father of John Hodgson of
Mechanical-Manpower & Serv-
ices, Mr. Hodgson had the best
slogan among some 400 entries.
The tenth winner in this year's
Esso Traffic Safety Slogan Con-
test, he submitted his slogan at
the Essoville Servicenter of Joe


Oduber.
Mr. Hodgson received his
prize, an Osterizer, during an
Esso Marketing TV program on
Tele-Aruba on November 26
from Frans M. Croes, Esso Dea-
ler of the Santa Cruz Esso Ser-
vicenter.
The eleven Esso slogan con-
test winners for this year (in-
cluding the December winner)
still have a chance of winning
the "best slogan of the year"
prize. The best traffic safety
slogan for 1971 will be announ-
ced before the end of the year.


A Lago donation to the YMCA
was presented recently by the
company's vice-president, Mr.
L Johnston, at the Y's head-
quarters in San Nicolas. Ac-
cepting on behalf of the youth
organization was its president,
Mr F. Loonstra.
Praising the work of the
YMCA in Aruba, Mr. Johnston
said. "What the YMCA has ac-
complished for the island's
youth truly deserves the recog-
nition from all sectors of the
community. It pleases us indeed
to be able to assist the YMCA
in its good work and to keep up
with the growing needs of the
Aruban youth."
Besides Lago, the YMCA re-
ceived donations from 785 do-
nors during their 1971 Fund
Drive. The proceeds will help
cover the organization's operat-
ing expenses related to its cha-
racter building and leadership
training programs.
Another Lago representative
present at the brief ceremony
was Public & Industrial Rela-
tions Manager B. E. Nixon.


Messrs. J. Guastavino and B.
S. Whitney, Secretary-General
and Treasurer, respectively of
the YMCA, and Mr. R. P. Steele,
board member also witnessed
the ceremony. Also present
was the new program secretary
of the YMCA, Mr. S. Tjaarda.
In recognition of the Y's con-
tribution to the community, La-
go, early this year, transferred
the building in which the YMCA
is housed to the youth organi-
zation. Recently, the YMCA
board installed a plaque in the
building which reads: "Dedicat-
ed To The Youth Of Aruba On
The Occasion Of The YMCA's
Fifteenth Anniversary In Aruba
on April 27, 1971. Lago Oil &,
Transport Company, Ltd."
Aruba's YMCA operates two
branches, one in San Nicolas
and one in Oranjestad. Activities
offered at these centers are de-
signed to teach the youth and
adolescents how to make more
constructive use of their leisure
time by means of sports, hob-
bies, artistic and cultural devel-
opments.

Take Precautions, Follow Some Hints, and Enjoy Safe Holidays at Home


Every year we read and hear
warnings about Christmas fires.
We hardly notice them after
all we're thinking of more plea-
sant things. But some reminders
may help us enjoy a safe
Christmas.

Christmas Safety
Begins with the Tree

Evergreens are highly flam-
mable when they begin to dry
out. Within seconds, one spark
can transform a Christmas tree
into a roaring, explosive mass
of flames. The water you give
to your tree not only keeps it
fresh it adds to your safety.
Keep the tree's moisture con-
tent high.
Here are some suggestions
of the National Safety Council,
(1) Don't put lighted candles
on the tree don't place
tree near heat-giving dev-
ices, like a TV set.
(2) Don't place tree near any
furnishings which might
help a fire spread.











(3) Don't place tree where it
might trap occupants of a
room or building.
(4) Don't leave lights burning
on tree when you retire or
go out.
(5) Don't leave paper wrap-
pings lying around after
gifts have been opened.
(6) In case of fire, let some
one call the closest Fire
Department immediately:
Lago 2222; Government
Fire Department 00, and
try to combat the fire at
once.

Fireproof Ornaments Are Better

Incombustible materials are
recommended for decorations.
Ornaments of fireproof materials
such as metal, glass, and rock
wool are easy to purchase or
to make at home.
If you want fabric trimming
around tree base, it's best to
use a material which has been
treated with a fire retardant.


You can buy fabric that's al-
ready treated or treat it your-
self. One fire-retardant mixture
is: 9 ounces of borax and 4
ounces of boric acid in 1 gal-
lon of water. Dip, brush, or
spray the fabric. Be sure to cover
the surface thoroughly. But re-
member, "fire retardant" doesn't
mean it's "fireproof."

Inside Lighting Tips

In planning tree lighting,
avoid overloaded circuits. Strings
of lights take little power, but
they may overload a circuit.
Don't use frayed cords. When
you buy new light strings or any
other electrical equipment, make
sure it has the Underwriter's
Laboratories seal.
Before putting the lights on
the tree, stretch each string on
the floor and inspect it for
loose wires at the sockets.
Screw all bulbs firmly in sock-
ets, plug the string into an out-
let, make sure that all bulbs
light.
Flood lamps get very hot.
Keep them away from fabrics
and place them where they can-
not be reached by children and
pets. Check circuit for over-
loading.

Use Correct Bulbs and Cord
For Outdoor Lighting

For outdoor lighting, don't
place lamps too near trees,
shrubs, or wooden walls or
fences. Use waterproof electric
cords and sockets, and lamps
which will not be cracked by
wetting when they are hot.
Don't use indoor strings of
lights outside. Outdoor strings
have rubber or synthetic rings
around each lamp to keep wa-
ter out of the sockets. The
lamps do not break easily and
usually burn independently. If
you need an .extension cord,
use the outdoor (heavy rubber-
covered) type. Tape all connec-
tions with electrician's rubber
tape.

'The cAengel Cho 'Cejuaed to Sing


"And suddenly there was with
the angel a multitude of the
heavenly host, praising God and
singing.... "
But on that solemn night
when Christ was born there was
a little angel who refused to
sing It was as early as during
the rehearsals for the earth's
first Christmas carol service
that the tiniest angel in the
heavenly choir announced he
would not sing. He was a cos-
mopolitan angel with a long
name: Muforaj, O'Brien, Anto-
nio, Chiang, McTavish, Stack-
pole, Goldberg, Smith

Gabriel Demands an Explanation
Choir Director Gabriel wanted
to know why Muforaj Smith
wouldn't sing.
"Master Gabriel, I am object-
ing to the sentiment of the song
we are supposed to sing tomor-
row night 'Peace on earth, good
will toward men', indeed' You
saints do not seem to keep up
with things Look down there
at that place called earth' Look
what a mess it's in Through
bloody fighting Egypt and Spain
have been annexed to the Ro-
man Empire Look down there
at your precious Jerusalem Be-
fore the century is over, Titus
will come along, tear that city
apart and destroy its temple.
And we still have to sing
'Peace on Earth? "
"Either you sing, Master Smith
- or we will excuse youi" Ga-
briel said.
The chorus continued rehear-
sing, without the tiniest angel
with the sweetest voice ever
heard through the spheres. Mu-
foral with a downcast heart
shuffled along the path to the
forest
It came to pass, as the little
town of Bethlehem lay wrapt in
deep and dreamless slumber,
that "angels from realms of
glory" were winging "their flight
o'er their flocks."
"And lo, the angel of the Lord
came upon them, and the glory
of the Lord shone round about
them, and they were sore af-
raid "
And Gabriel said unto them,
"Fear not, for, behold I bring
you good tidings of great joy,
which shall be to all people."
"For unto you is born. this
day in the city of David a Sav-
iour. ..."


"And suddenly there was with
the angel a multitude of the
heavenly host praising God and
singing, 'Glory to God in the
Highest, and on earth peace,
good will toward men'."
God heard the song and was
well pleased. But in heaven
there was one little angel who
had refused to sing.

The Lord Answers

And it came to pass that God
walked in the tumtum garden
and suddenly Muforaj felt the

afraid, but stood respectfully,
with his curly head bowed.
And the Lord said unto him:
"What doesn't thou here, Mufo-
raj9 The chorus sang more be-
autifully than ever before. Yet I
missed one voice. Thine, my
child. Why art thou here?"
"My Father, I could not sing.
How can I cry 'Peace on earth'
when there is no peace? To do
so, seemed to proclaim a lie."
"Who art thou, Muforaj, to
question the everlasting word of
God? Stubborn little one the
song does not say that peace
is upon earth. The song pro-

"Forgive me, I have been
wrong to question Thy law",
answered the tiny angel.
When God moved away, Mu-
foraj decided to go to Bethle-

Pasobra lo Bo conoce hende-

Y asina Muforaj, e angel cu
a nenga di canta, awor a can-
ta: "Gloria na Dios den Altlslmo,
y Gloria na Su Ylu na tera
kende ta trece paz y bon bo-
luntad. Alegria bini pa mundol

hem to worship the Christ Child.
He hailed a cruising star and
skyrocketed to earth. The three
Wise Men in the distant East
saw the star and began their
journey till, later, they came to
the place where the Child was.
When Muforaj saw the Infant
in the manger, he said: "I will
sing you my sweetest song, Ba-
by Jesus. Hearken well. For the
hopes and fears of all the years
are met in thee tonight. I bring
to you the gift of the singing
heart. No matter how great your
discouragements, your heart
shall never know recoil. For you
will know men at their worst,
yet see in them their best."
And so Muforaj, the angel
who had refused to sing, sang:
"Glory to God in the Highest,
and Glory to His Son on earth
who brings peace and good will.
Joy to the World! the Lord is
come; let earth receive her
king. Let every heart prepare
Him room; heaven and nature
sing."
