Dial 5 Now Gives Answers Daily

To Questions Asked on Dial 3500

Employees now have a special number, Dial 5, for listening to
answers every day in the Management Answers Your Questions
Program. Dial 3500 will continue to operate as a separate record-
ing system for accepting questions of employees. Questions can
be asked every Monday and Tuesday
Unlike the Dial 3500, Dial 5 has the advantage that several em-
ployees may listen at the same time to the answers given, just like
Dial 7 which gives daily news digest.
The only time Dial 5 will not be used for answering questions is
when it is used for emergency announcements.
Employees are reminded that the program encourages employ-
ees to ask questions of general interest and that they should speak
in a clear voice. Although the recorder's tape can run for several
hours, employees should state their questions short and to the
point, without lengthy explanations. Personal questions are not
answered.
Both Dial 5 and Dial 3500 are
open 24 hours a day to cover
all shifts.
The new Dial 5 for answers
will make it possible for em-
ployees to get their questions
answered regularly and more
rapidly than in the past.


Numero 5 AworTur Dia Ta Contesta

Pregunta Haci ariba Numero 3500

Empleadonan awor tin un numero special, No 5, pa scucha con-
testas tur dia den e Programa "Gerencia Ta Contesta Bo Pregun-
ta." Numero 3500 lo sigui opera como un sistema di recorder se-
para pa acepta preguntas di empleadonan. Preguntas por ser haci
tur Dialuna y Diamars.
Siendo diferente cu Numero 3500, Numero 5 tin e ventaha cu va-
rios empleado por scucha na mes tempo na contestanan duna,
mescos cu Numero 7 cual ta duna noticia cortico tur dia
E unico ora cu No. 5 lo no ser usa pa contest preguntas ta ora
el ta ser usA pa anuncios di emergencia.
Empleadonan ta ser record cu e program ta encurasha emplea-
donan pa haci preguntas di interest general y cu nan mester papia
den un voz cla. Aunque e tape di e recorder por corre pa various
ora, empleadonan mester haci nan pregunta mas cortico possible
y al caso, sin splicacion largo. Preguntanan personal no ta worde
contest.
Ambos Numero 5 y Numero 3500 ta keda na operation 24 ora
pa dia pa cubri tur tres warda.
E sistema nobo di Numero 5 pa contests lo haci possible pa
empleadonan por haya nan preguntas contestA regularmente y
mas rapido cu den pasado.

0. What are Lago's plans for
the Medical care of Its em-
ployees when the Lago Hos-
pital closes?

A. Lago is in the process of
developing a basic and ma-
jor hospitalization plan for
florin-paid employees, like
the plan that was extend-
ed to overseas employees
on May 1 of this year.
Under the proposed plan,
all of our florin-paid em-
ployees will have the free-
dom of choice to select their
own doctors, including spe-
cialists, as well as the hos-
pital in which they would
prefer to receive in-patient
treatment for themselves and
their eligible family mem-
bers. This means they can
select any island hospital
or any off-island hospital.
When this plan becomes ef-
fective, the use of the Lago
Hospital will probably de-
cline. The Lago Hospital po-
pulation is already too
small, and it would not be
feasible to continue to
operate it if the average
bed usage declines
Out-patient care for emplo-
yees AND THEIR ELIGIBLE
FAMILY MEMBERS will con-
tinue to be provided by La-
go in our new, modern out-
patient clinic which is pre-
sently being constructed in
the Administration Building.
This out-patient clinic for
employees and their eligible
family members will conti-
nue to operate even after
the Basic and Major Medi-
cal Hospitalization Program
is offered.
With the new clinic and hos-
pitalization policy in effect,
the medical facilities avail-
able to Lago employees will
be significantly improved and
the needed specialistic care
will be available.

Q. Lago is a considerably effi-
cient company, but why then
does not Lago pay its em-


ployees who collect month-
ly, every month. I mean, on
the last day or on the first
day of each month. Here in
Aruba, with the exception of
Lago, everybody who works
monthly collects every month,
not ten days after.

A. At the present time 74% of
Lago employees collect their
net pay through the banks
on the fourth work day after
the close of each pay period.

Q. I would like to know if Lago
will continue to put the ques-
tions and answers in the Es-
so News every two weeks,
since not everyone has the
time to listen to the phone.

A. As mentioned in the Esso
News article concerning this
topic, we will continue to
publish selected questions
and answers of general inter-
est to all employees from
time to time.

Q. Can something be done to
fix the communication sys-
tem of the outside telephone
calls to Lago and from Lago
to outside connections?
Sometimes it is very difficult
to communicate with outside
numbers from Lago or to
communicate from outside
with Lago. I would like to
know if something can't be
done on whichever side to
fix these communication sys-
tems.

A. The island exchange is lim-
ited as to the number of lines
available There are ten se-
parate lines between Lago
and San Nicolas. This is
usually not the bottleneck. If
you call from the other end
of the island, the lines to
San Nicolas from Oranjestad
are frequently busy. Until
such time as the government
telephone system can ex-
pand, we will be forced to
accept the present delays

Cyclists Mike Weill, Rusty Mosley

Tour Island in About 20 Hours


Heavily packed, but full of en-
thusiasm, Michael (Mike) Weill
(14) and John (Rusty) Mosley
(13) took off on their bikes from
their Seroe Colorado residence
at 7:30 a.m. on Monday, June
19. Their plan: make a cycling
tour of the island. Mike, the son
of Mechanical Manager K.L.
Weill, completed the 9th grade
and Rusty, son of J.C. Mosley
of Mechanical-Engineering, fin-
ished the 8th grade at the Se-
roe Colorado School.
Each of the adventurers car-
ried about one gallon of water,
food, outdoor sleeping gear, bi-
cycle repair kits, clothes, all
contained in a knapsack, each
weighing about 30 Ibs.
Their first stretch covered the
Sea Grape Grove road along
the northeast coast to Vader
Piet and Boca Prins, where
they made their first stop. Then
followed a ride through hilly
terrain and dirt road via Mirala-
mar to their next stops at Ayo
and the Natural Bridge,
Defying the blazing sun and
the strong winds, they pedalled
on via Crystal Mountain to Noord
where they arrived at about 2
p.m. From there, using the pu-
blic telephone, they called home
to report their whereabouts.


They continued their trip to
Palm Beach, the hotels and
then headed for Oranjestad on
the Lloyd G. Smith Boulevard.
While on this Boulevard, on a
curve, they got a shock of their
lives when they saw three ve-
hicles make the two-lane road
a three-lane drag strip. They
luckily got off the road in time.
As it was already getting late,
they took shelter for the night
at the home of Jim Downey, a
Seroe Colorado Physical Edu-
cation Instructor Here they
wanted to contact home by
phone, but Jim's pet monkey
had broken the telephone wires.
Later they found another phone
to call home
After a good night's rest, Mike
and Rusty were again early on
their bike the next day for their
last stretch, now against the
wind back to San Nicolas. They
selected the route via Santa
Cruz, Frenchman's Pass, Pos
Chikito and Savaneta. They were
back at home, safe and sound
though somewhat tired, at 10 30
a.m. on June 20.
On their first bicycle trip, the
two young cyclists covered ap-
proximately 75 kilometers and
used the Aruba Esso Road Map
as their guide.
