AR UBA VOL. 4, No. 12 PUBLISHED BY THE LAGO OIL & TRANSPORT CO., LTD. AUGUST 27, 1943 Largest Sports Program Lake Tanker Officer Is Ever Scheduled Here Is Honored with Decoration Duplicate Awards Paid In Safety Name Contest Planned for August 31 Island-Wide Competition Will Be Featured in Twenty Events Organized by the Lago Sport Park Committee and with the help of many other interested employees, an island- wide athletic competition is scheduled lor the Sport Park on the Queen's Birth- day holiday, August 31. Twenty events are scheduled for the "Lago Olympiad", which, in addition to open events and special Lago-employee races, brings to- gether probably for the first time the sports clubs of the island, the schools, and the Schutters. Arrangements are being made by the committee so that there will be rest intervals between club competitions. since each club enters only four men. It is planned to have several events going all the time in different areas of the field. The Olympiad starts at 1 p.m., and is expected to last most of the afternoon. The prizes have been donated by local business firms and by the Company. At the time they are presented to the win- ning contestants, the Lago All-Stars football team will receive the cup won by them when they defeated the Schut- ters August 7. The committee and those aiding them are extending every effort to provide a full and varied afternoon, and it is expected that attendance records at the Sport Park will be broken. (See page 7 for list of events).

(Member of the Order of the British Empire) for Raymond Atkinson, Third Officer of the lake tanker "Punta Gor- da". A cable from the London Office said "...inform R.

No details were received, but it was undoubtedly in recognition of his exploit as leader of a lifeboat party after his ship was torpedoed in the Indian Ocean near the end of last year. Mr. Atkinson, who joined the Lake Fleet a month ago, was then Third Officer on a freighter; they were off the east coast of Africa when the Continued on Page 8 "The Safety Of Plan Tickets Sweepstakes" Is Title That Gives Lottery for Best Records Chosen from 166 entries, "The Safety Sweepstakes" was selected August 9 as the name for the plan inaugurated this month which will award lottery tickets for the greatest improvement in depart- mental safety records. Duplicate awards were paid, with Fls. 25 going to each of two men, Ber- nardo Sloterdijk of the Accounting de- partment, and Ludwig Comes of the Drydock. Their suggestions were "Sweepstakes Safety Contest", and "Lago's Safety Sweep" respectively, which together provided the core of the title as finally decided upon, "The Safety Sweepstakes". Four of the suggestions were selected for Honorable Mention: "Safety In Wealth Contest", by Patricia deVries of the Executive Office; "Fortuna Door Di Seguridad", by Nicolina Dirksz of the Personnel department; "4-L Safety Con- test" (Life, Limb, and Longevity Lotter- y), by J. S. Harrison of the Executive Office; and "Be Safety-Wise and Capi- talize", by Guy Permaul of the M. & C. Office. One contestant, Maximo Maduro, who is a messenger at the Instrument department, went straight to the heart of the matter by suggesting "Mucho Pla- ca Contest". Many of the suggestions turned in, while not exactly titles, would make excellent slogans for the plan. The contest committee, which judged the titles and will continue to assist in the direction of the plan, includes Jan Beaujon (Chairman), Ram Harry Paul, Tom Malcolm, Clifton Monroe, and Ro- bert Schlageter. The Italian army, before it was pushed into its own backyard, had established a high price ceiling on American jeeps. A quotation during the latter part of the Tunisian campaign was 2,000 lire reward and a possible furlough for the soldier who captured or destroyed a jeep, whereas a tank captured or destroyed rated only 1,000 lire, and a plane was worth 2,000.

H.M. Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands observes her sixty-third birth- day next Tuesday. The Netherlands world will observe it too in some places openly and freely, in other places by necessity secretly. Though it will be Her Majesty's fourth birthday on foreign soil, the day approaches when she may celebrate it in her own land, among her own people, and when all who honor her may do it joyfully and without fear of reprisals.

Four High-Schoolers Graduate From School's Summer Session High school days were over for four students here August 17, when Gene Campbell, Frances Mingus, Gerald Smith, and Jane Wilken were awarded diplomas in informal graduation exerci- ses at the home of Principal James Mileham. General Manager L. G. Smith spoke briefly to the graduates, and K. H. Repath, Chairman of the School Advisory Committee, awarded the diplomas. The four completed their work during the summer sessions of the Lago Com- munity School's "accelerated program", and all of them plan to go to the United States to continue their education. Gene Campbell will attend Kemper Military School, where he expects to room with Jim Haase. Frances Mingus will join her sister, Sunny, at the University of Texas. Jane Wilken will enter Linden- wood College which is attended by two Lago graduates, Kinta Abadie, '41, and Joanne Rae, '42. Gerald Smith will enroll in Colgate University, where his brother Ned was a student. (A recently-received Army publicity release tells of Ned's entering, the advanced Navigation School at Selman Field, Monroe, Louisia- na, as an aviation cadet.)

Gasoline is even more dangerous. 2. The best thing to say about in- flammable cleaning fluids is don't use them! 3. A roller skate or tricycle left in the way when it's dark can make any man fly through the air with the great- est of ease! 4. For the ladies a good cook keeps pot handles turned to the back of the stove, so little Jane or Junior can't get dangerously inquisitive. 5. Driving is probably safer on black night than on moonlight ones. That light isn't as strong as it seems! Parked cars, or approaching cars without lights, have a startling way of looming up like a shot, especially on big-moon nights. 6. Give the pedestrian a break by keeping your windshield clean of dust or salt-spray at night, so you have at least a 50-50 chance of seeing him. 7. Walking on the LEFT side of the road, facing oncoming traffic, increases any pedestrian's chance of living to see the end of blackout and war. Ludwig Comes (right) and Bernardo Sloterdjk (center), the men who turned in the winning suggestions for the naming contest (see page 1), are shown receiving dupli- S(late awards of Fls. 25 from Jan Beaujon, Chairman of the Safety Sweepstakes Committee.

At last re- ports the aquaplane board was broken, but the NEWS still hopes to catch and publish a local scene like this. S. -411 ?'ati^ .S Guniting, being done here by Jacobo Johnson in the base of a big smokestack, is one of corrosion's greatest enemies. Ineor cement and, in this case, crushed firebrick are mixed in a spray gun with small quantities of water, to form a dense mixture. This is sprayed under pressure of 25 to 40 pounds on to a sur$fe that is first covered with wire mesh. The result is a coating, usually about an inch and a quarter thick, which protects the surface from rust. (Usually a commercial preparation, Haydite or Sil-o-cel C-3, is used with the cement; with these not now available, salvaged crushed firebrick is being used instead.) "Keep to the right" says this traffic policeman's sign in a Caribbean town, and ' "Esso" helps him say it.

In this issue, they are seen marching proudly in the United Nations' victory parade in the streets ot funis. This time they were marching before the great leader of the British Eighth Army, General Montgomery, whose famous beret can barely be seen at the extreme left center edge of the pic- ture. Friends here have been able to identify, in the origi- nal newspaper print, Cap- tain Lauder, Pipe Major McCrae, Pipe Sgt. McClen- nan, Piper MacDonald, Piper McWhirr, and others who were well-known to Lagoites during the Camerons' stay here. (Piper McWhirr is a brother of Lago's Dave and James McWhirr). THEIR SKIRL PIE O' TE PIPES i Too late for publication in the last ESSO NEWS, this picture shows the grand finale of the Lago Club's second anniversary entertainment July 31. An Hawaiian dance, it included Misses O. Arrindell, M. Fistler, F. Warner, C. Wathey, E. Simmons, E. Dykstra, 1. MacDonald, P. Warner, A. Damen, and C. Hartogh, with electric guitarist Otti- lio Mauricio and his "Islanders" furnish- ing the accompaniment. Homegrown Pins - It doesn't sound possible, but British soldiers serving in Army offices in India are using something like that for fasten- ing papers together. A strange case of wartime substitution, these homegrown pins are thorns from a common tree that flourishes in most parts of India. The thorns come in two colors, black and white, and have a sort of pinhead because they are cut off close to the joint between thorn and stem. Packed in old matchboxes, they sell for what would be about FIl. 0.60 per thousand. Over two and a half million have been ordered. Has anyone seen any thorn trees in Aruba lately? An airplane propeller is so delicately balanced that a puff of a man's breath will send the blades turning although the propeller weighs 400 pounds. lUww St -. inn riftM~nB BhM ->. a ARUBA ESSO NEWS AUGUST 27 1943 6 ARUBA ESSO NEWS Fricasseed Kitten and Mule Meat One good turn deserves another, and when the NEWS published an article in the last issue about an 1888 Curagao booklet, Dan Zilko of the Personnel de- partment came forward with a copy of an 1863 Civil War newspaper irom Vicksburg, Mississippi. Strangely enough both grew out of the same thing the freeing of slaves but on opposite sides of the question. For the Curagao booklet commemorated the freeing of slaves, while the Vicks- burg Daily Citizen was a Confederate slave State paper, speaking of the "mongrel administration of Abe Lin- coln". Dated July 2, 1863, this issue of the paper was written during General Ulys- ses Grant's siege of the city. It is print- ed on wallpaper, on the side without the design, and is, naturally, 99 per cent news of the Civil War. Journalism was nothing if not bril- liantly colored in that place and time. In eulogizing a Vicksburg officer killed in the siege, the editor writes: "May the soft south winds murmur sweet re- quiems o'er his name, and the twilight dews fall gently like an angel's tear drop and moisten his turfy bed". The purple of that passage changes to an angry red when he speaks of another confederate newspaper which had been captured by the Northerners, and "is now edited by a pink-nosed slab-sided toad-eating Yankee who is a lineal des- cendant of Judas Iseariot". The editor also takes a crack at war- time hoarders and profiteers within the besieged city, who were selling flour at five dollars a pound, molasses at ten dollars a gallon, and corn at ten dollars a bushel. And he makes a good story of two friends who served stewed kitten to their guests, passing it off as rabbit and being pleased when the guests exclaim- ed that it was delicious. The entire paper is Confederate news, datelined July 2, except the last two inches. The final article, a "Note", is dated July 4, 1863: "Two days brings about great changes. The banner of the Union floats over Vicksburg and the Citizen lives to see it. For the last time it appears on wallpaper. No more will it eulogize the luxury of mule meat and fricasseed kit- ten urge Southern warriors to such diet nevermore. This is the last wall- paper Citizen, and is, excepting this note, from the types as we "yankee printers" found them." A new giant-size camera capable of making 800 negatives a day, many of them six feet high ,is so large that the photographer actually works inside it!

C~ i AUGUST 27 1943 Lago All-Stars Take Game and Cup From Sabaneta Schutters Piling up the substantial margin of 5 to 2, the Lago All-Stars won their second meeting with the Sabaneta Schutters August 7, and took possession of the cup that was presented by the Company. Their first game over a month ago was a tie, with Lago barely holding on, but Lago was always on top the second time. The trophy (see cutj will be presented to the winners at the sports meet August 31. The game started slowly, with Saba- neta scoring first. Soon afterward the soldiers' fullback stopped with his hands a Lago forward's shot to the goal, and Angel Chirino made the penalty kick good, to tie the score 1 1 at half time. In the second half "Chummy" Quandt made it 2 1 for Lago, then Damien Tromp, with a spectacular kick from near the center of the halfback line, made it 3 1. Chirino scored again, with a shot passed by Jose Paulino at left wing, the ball barely escaping the goalkeeper. Romulo Franken scored one for the soldiers to make it 4 -- 2, but in the last few minutes Hans Nahar, playing right wing, moved into center and scored the fifth goal. Angel Chirino and Otilio Paulina starred for Lago (though the whole team "clicked" well) and Pablo Steenbar and Romulo Franken were outstanding for the soldiers. Cu un bon score di 5 pa 2, e oncena di Lago All-Stars a sali victorioso, hun- gando pa di segunda bez contra e equi- po di Schutternan di Sabaneta arba 7 di Augustus, ganando e copa cu a wor- de present door di Compania.

Who is eligible to be in it? A. Every employee in the plant partici- pates. Q. Do departments compete against each other? A. No, each department competes only against its own safety record of the past five years. Q. What are the prizes? A. Half-tickets in the Bond Fortuna (Curagao Lottery) will be prizes in the monthly contests. At the end of 1943, the grand prizes will be whole tickets, distributed on exactly the same basis as the monthly prizes. Q. How does a department win the tickets? A. At the end of each month starting in August, each department's safety record for that month will be com- pared against its five-year record. To win tickets, a department must improve its past safety record. (De- partments with perfect records must keep them perfect to win). The number of tickets won depends on how great a safety improvement is made. For example, a group having 105 employees which improves its ac- cident record 50 per cent in August would receive three half-ticket prizes. Q. Who in the department gets the tickets ? A. This will be decided by chance. All payroll numbers of the department will be placed in a container, and the men whose numbers are drawn will receive the tickets. Q. How soon after the end of 'each month will this be done? A. No definite date can be set, but it will be as soon as the safety records for all departments can be calculat- ed, and the necessary number of tickets purchased. Q. Does Safety pay dividends? A. YES it pays dividends in health all the time, and during the Safety Sweepstakes it will pay dividends in fortune too. M. B. E. Cont. from page 1 torpedo hit. The ship, loaded with pig iron, sank very rapidly, but not before a second torpedo struck, smashing one of the lifeboats and killing an officer and several of the crew. Three lifeboats left the scene, one with the Captain, First Officer, and seamen, a second with seamen only, and the third with Atkinson and 20 other men. His boatload, which soon became se- "HEY MA! TELL GSANDPAW AVO tS TO STO PICKWG ON Mft' parated from the others, included only one A.B. seaman the rest were gun- crew members, firemen, and two stew- ards. Soon after the start of their 15- day voyage to land, the boat was nearly capsized by a gun-crew man unfamiliar with steering. After that Atkinson and the A.B. took alternate watches, a strain that told heavily on them. For water each man got two ounces morning and night (about equal to one- quarter of an inch in a drinking glass). By a freak of bad fortune they ruined part of their water: during a storm one night they gratefully caught rain in their sail, dumping it into one of the water containers. Daylight showed them that the water had been contaminated by the brilliant red dye of the sailcloth! One man persisted in drinking Emall quantities of sea water, and could not be stopped. He died of the effects five days after they landed, the only one of the 21 who did not survive the ex- perience. They reached the African coast at a point where a landing looked easy, but hidden rocks broke up the boat several hundred yards out, and many of the men were injured before they reached the shore. It was a barren and uninhabited re- gion, but they fanned out and eventually found civilization; finally they got to Cape Town, where many other ship survivors were awaiting return to England. Atkinson learned later that the Captain's boat had been picked up, but he has never heard whether or not the boatload of seamen was found. Atkinson, who is 20 years old, has been at sea since he was 14. Like the tremendous majority of those men who have survived the attacks of Nazi sub- marines, he goes on with the sea. PREG. I CONT.
