1947 LVS Clas
Thirty-four employees of the
1947 Class of the Lago Vocatio-
nal School celebrated their 25th
service anniversary in grand
style with a dinner-dance fiesta
at the IOWUA Recreation Center

ice men received their 25-year
service watches from their de-
partment managers.
Special guests were the em-
ployees' wives and Lago Presi-
dent R. L. Trusty, department
managers and division superin-
tendents of the watch recipients.
The party was under direction
of an organizing committee, with
Faustino Clark as MC, and Ray-
mundo Nicolaas, Theodoor Lat-
tig, Herman Maduro, and Agri-
pino Geerman as members.
The program included a wel-
come address by Raymundo
Farro, and speeches by IR Man-
ager Fabian S. Francis as for-
mer LVS senior instructor and
ex-LVS Principal Eugene Has-
sell, and a closing speech by
Mario Zarraga.

Mechanical Engineering Acquires New
As part of a program to im- data was recently put in oper-
prove access to information in ation. The system consists of a
the Mechanical Engineering Di- library of U.S. manufacturers'
vision, a new system for obtain- product catalogs and technical
ing up-to-date manufacturer's publications in microfilm form,
and a "Viewer-Printer" for view-
ing and making prints from the
microfilm within seconds. The
-microfilm comes in 16-mm rolls,
0J / J each encased in a 4-inch square
4 cartridge holding the equivalent
to over thirty 80-page catalogs.
Over 15,000 catalogs are avail-
able in the system, which con-
sists of two sets of cartridges.
One set contains the catalogs
filmed cover-to-cover, while the
other contains engineering data
extracted from these catalogs.
The engineering data cover se-
ven sections, including Electri-
cal, Electronic, Fluid Systems,
Instruments and Power Trans-

Microfilm System
The system meets a long-
standing requirement in the En-
gineering Division. In contrast
to the conventional catalogs in
the G.O.B. Library, the micro-
film system permits easy and
quick access to current inform-
ation from an almost unlimited
source. It requires little or no
attention by Lago personnel and
occupies negligible space in the
Engineering Division's vault
area. The 5% cubic feet occu-
pied by all the cartridges com-
pares with 450 cubic feet which
equivalent printed catalogs
would occupy, and contains 100
times more product data then
has been previously available.
Within a few months, another
improvement in information re-
trieval will be inaugurated. This
will consist of putting on micro-
film the Division's 10,000 inac-
tive project files which are re-
quired for future reference. The
viewer-printer equipment will
then be used for both the cat-
alog and project file systems.

Qerencio To Contesto Bo Pregunto :


Pa Contest: No. 5
Pa Pregunta: No. 3500


Management Answers Your Questions

For Answers: Dial 5 For Questions: Dial 3500


0. I would like to know why
Lago doesn't give each em-
ployee a month's salary for
their bonus, because the
cost-of-living bonus, I under-
stand, Is to pay off your
debts.
A. The COL bonus is not an
arbitrary amount, it is deter-
mined by the government
COL Index for October and
is paid in advance for the
following year. Actually, the
customary December pay-
ments COL., additional
Thrift contribution and Thrift
Earnings amount to much
more than a month's pay.
Q. If Lago offers an employee
the option to stop contribut-
Ing 4%0 to the vacation plan,
why doesn't the company
permit us, those who can,
to leave more, about 10/o,
even though Lago continues
adding 41% for us?
A. Employees' net take-home
pay, after deductions for
Thrift, Loan repayments, An-
nuity, insurance, Income
Tax, etc. is presently at such
a level whereby further de-
ductions may pose a hard-
ship to most employees. If
any employee feels that he
can save an additional 10%
of his pay, it would be to his
advantage to deposit this on
a bank where his savings
would accrue interest.
Q. I want to join the new Pen-
sion Plan retroactively. Now
that I have my vested rights,
when Is this plan going to
be reopened? There are
over 100 employees, includ-
Ing management members,
who want to join.
A. This plan is open for par-
ticipation at any time, but
not on a retroactive basis.
If you have not yet joined
the plan, we suggest you do
so as early as possible so
that if retroactive participat-
ion is permitted in the future,
your retroactive contribution
would be less.
0. Lago has made changes in
Its Vacation Plan. Now isn't


it possible for Lago to make
a change In the Thrift Plan
also? For Instance, if some-
one has debts, isn't It pos-
sible to deduct the debt
from what he has saved, so
his take-home pay can in-
crease?
A. The purpose of the Thrift
Plan is to encourage emplo-
yees to save so that they will
have funds available to meet
emergencies, such as grave
sickness in the family, build-
ing and repairing a home,
educating their children, and
having something to fall back
on when they are no longer
able to work. If the compa-
ny permitted an employee to
borrow as much as he pleas-
es from his account without
limitation, then it would not
be long before his account
would be entirely depleted.
What happens then when a
real emergency arises and
he needs money?
Q. Why not discontinue the
thrift loan payment by de-
ducting the full amount from
your Thrift Plan, then our
take-home pay will increase?
A. A loan means that you are
borrowing money. When you
borrow money, from any
source, you are required to
repay the amount borrowed
with interest. If you do not
wish to repay, then you can
make a Thrift Withdrawal.
The maximum an employee
can withdraw from his Thrift
Account is two-thirds of his
contributions, two-thirds of
company additional contri-
butions and two-thirds of
fund earnings.
Q. I would like to know If any-
one can send in as many
Ideas as possible to correct
or to improve their jobs.
A. A non-management emplo-
yee is free to submit as ma-
ny suggestions as he wishes
to improve his job or any
other job at Lago. Certain
management members who
are eligible for CYI awards
may submit suggestions per-
taining only to situations out-
side the scope of their re-
gular duties.


P. MI kler sabi paklko Lago no
ta duna cada empleado un
luna extra di pago come
nan bonus, pasobra segun
ml ta comprende e bonus
pa cost di bide ta pa pa-
ga debenan.
C. E suma di bonus pa costo
di bida no ta un montante
arbitrario, e ta keda fiha ari-
ba base di indice di Costo
di Bida pa October cual Go-
bierno ta public y e ta wor-
de pagA delanta pa e si-
giente anja. Actualmente, e
pagonan di costumber na
December, esta bonus pa
Costo di Bida, contribution
adicional di Thrift Plan, y
ganashinan di Thrift ta hopi
mas cu un luna di pago.
P. Si Lago ofrece empleado-
nan e opcion dl stop di con-
tribul 4% na vacation plan,
pakiko compania no ta per-
miti nos cu por, pa contri-
bul mas, aproximadamente
10%, make Lago sigl pone
acerca 4% pa nos mes?
C. E suma cu empleadonan ta
hiba cas, despues cu a wor-
de kitA contribucionnan pa
Thrift, paga bek prestamo,
pension, aseguro, belasting
riba nan entrada etc. ac-
tualmente ta na tal nivel, cu
si mester kita mas placa es-
ey ta impone un inconve-
niencia financier serio pa
majoria di empleadonan. Si
algun empleado ta sinti cu e
por spaar mas cu 10% di
su sueldo, ta cumbini6 di
deposit e suma ey na un
banco camina e por gana
interest ariba loke e spaar.
P. MI kler drenta e plan nobo
di pensloen retroactivamen-
te. Awor cu ml tin ml dere-
cho riba pensloen, kl dia
nan ta bolbe habrl e plan
ey? Tin mas cu 100 emplea-
do Incluyendo mlembro-
nan di gerencla kende
kier blra mlembro.
C. E plan ta habri pa partici-
pacion na cualkier momen-
to, pero no ariba base re-
troactivo. Si ainda Bo no a
drenta e plan, nos ta sugeri
pa Bo haci esey lo mas
pronto posibel, pasobra si
acaso participation retroac-


tivo bira posibel den future,
anto Bo contribution retro-
activo lo ta menos.
P. Lago a hacl camblonan den
su Plan di Vacantie. Lo no
ta posibel pa Lago had cam-
blo tambe den e Thrift Plan?
Por ehempel, sI un persona
tin debe, Io no ta posibel
pa kita tal debe for di loke
el a spaar, pa asina e pla-
ca cu e ta hiba cas per bira
mas?
C. Obhetivo di Thrift Plan ta
pa anima empleadonan pa
spaar, pa asina nan por tin
placa pa enfrenta cualkier
apuro, manera enfermedad
serio den familiar, traha y
drecha un cas, educa nan
yiunan, ypa nan tin un reser-
va pa usa ora cu nan no por
traha mas. Si compania per-
miti un empleado fia asina
tantu cu e ta desea for di
su cuenta sin ningun limi-
tacion, anto lo no tarda pa
e usa tur loke tin na cre-
dito. Anto kiko ta pasa ora
e tin un apuro di berdad mes
y e no tin placa?
P. Pakiko compania no ta stop
flamento for dl Thrift Plan
henteramente door dl kita
tur loke nos debe for dl nos
Thrift Plan, e ora ey loke nos
ta hiba cas lo bira mas?
C. Un prestamo ta nifica cu
Bo ta fiando placa. Ora Bo
fia placa, for di cualkier
fuente. Bo tin obligacion di
paga e plaka bek mas e in-
teres. Ora Bo no ta desea
di paga bek, So por lanta
placa for di Bo cuenta den
thrift. E suma mas haltu cu
un empleado por lanta for
di su cuenta den thrift plan,
ta 2/3 parti di su mes con-
tribucionnan, 2/3 part di
compania su contribution
adicional y 2/3 parti di ga-
nashinan di e plan.
P. MI kier sabi sl cualkler hen-
de por mands asina tantu
Ideanan cu ta posibel pa
coregi nan trabou of meho-
ra nan trabou?

After 43 Years:

Era of Hospitality Ends for G u esthouse 71

With Conversion into Executive Residence


On September 11, an end
came to the era of hospitality
of the company's Guesthouse 71
in Seroe Colorado as a facility
for Lago's special guests. Since
1929, this building overlooking
the Lagoon and Rodger's Beach
has accommodated top execu-
tives of Standard Oil of New
Jersey, Creole, Lago and other
Jersey affiliates and VIP's from
around the globe.
With the availability of first-
class hotel accommodations on
the island, the need for the
Guesthouse no longer exists.
Henceforth, top executives and
other special guests will stay at
the luxury hotels at Palm Beach.
During its 43 years' existence,
the Guesthouse has accommo-
dated thousands of visitors. The
