Ruiz 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.

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.

" 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.

He was not 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.

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." Angels rehearsing for first Christmas Carol service.
