THE FIRST pile of the new No. 3 Finger Pier stands in place ready to
he driven into the ground. The pile is held in place by a steel piece and
bracket extending off the crane barge.
E 'IO.MER pila di Finger Pier No. 3 nobo ta na position pa word manda

On Friday, Nov. 18, a group of
Lago employees failed to report to
work choosing to remain outside
Lago's gates in support of a strike
instigated by a labor federation.
This group of approximately fifteen
per cent of Lago's entire personnel
joined in a movement that had as its
primary aim the recognition of the
Petroleum Workers Federation of
Aruba as the sole bargaining agent
for the company's employees. The
strike action was the culmination ot
a series of events that began with a
letter from the labor federation sign-
ed by twenty-seven employees to the
company Nov. 7 stating that workers
belonging to the federation would
strike if the labor organization's re-
quests were not acted upon.
The forces that supported the
strike and remained outside held
little sway over the sympathies of
the large majority of the employees.
Day by day the percentage of absent
workers decreased. The original
group that remained off the job the
first day, Nov. 18, decreased to less
than fifteen per cent the second day,
Saturday, Nov. 19. A large influx of
workers Monday morning, Nov. 21,
decreased the number of absentees
to five per cent. Tuesday morning,
Nov. 22, absenteeism dropped still
further to about three per cent, then
decreased daily until the men re-
maining off their jobs were only the
few apparently dedicated to the prin-
ciples of the labor federation. These
percentages do not include persons
known to be on vacation or treated


SInitial Piles


SIGNALLING THE crane operator is Foreman Don McLean. The pile-
driving rami travels up and down the attachment shown behind the pile.
The piles are all fourteen-inch H-shaped pieces.
DON MCLEAN, capataz, ta duna senjal na e operator di grua. E pilon
cu ta manda e pila den suela ta subi baha den un aparato tras di e pila,

THE STEAM driven pile driver goes to work on the first pile. The ram is
lifted by steam but drops free. Its 12,500-pound weight generates 40,600
pounds of energy in a thirty-nine-inch fall.
E MAItTINETE ta traha cu stoom y ta cuminza bati e prome pila den
suela. E peso ta word lamta cu presion di stoom, pero ta cai liber. Su
peso de 12,500 liber ta 40,600 liber di energia cu su caida di 39 duim.


Driven forNew

Finger Pier
The first few piles that will sup-
port Lago's new No. 3 Finger Pier
have been driven. That leaves over
340 piles to be rammed into place
before the multi-million dollar pro-
ject will near completion. Original
construction projections estimated
completion of the 900-foot pier and
the south side put into service by the
third quarter of 1961.
There will be a lot of activity at
the water front opposite the Em-
ployee Medical Center before the
first tanker eases alongside the new
pier. Two large facets of the con-
struction will be pounding and pour-
ing. The pounding will center around
huge steam-driven pile-driving rams,
and the pouring will introduce the
use of prestressed concrete to a Lago
project.
H-Shaped Piles
The first pile of the new pier was
driven Nov. 16 into the shore's edge.
Another was driven on shore and
two others were pounded into place
in the water. The piles that will form
the vertical supports for the new
pier are all fourteen-inch H-shaped
pieces. They vary in length from sev-
enty to 110 feet. It would almost
seem that they should all be the
same length. It's not that easy. The
lengths of piles depend upon the soil
the piles strike as they are driven
downward. Short piles would be used
where hard coral forms the founda-
tion. Where mud or silt or sand is the
soil composition then longer piles
must be sunk to a depth that will
enable them to support their share of
a predetermined load. Each pile when
sunk firmly in place must be capable
of supporting between fifty and
sixty-five tons, depending upon its
location in the pier. The test piles

in quarters, but do include the usual
absentees for reasons other than
strike support.
The labor federation from the be-
ginning took the stand that a dis-
pute existed between Lago and its
employees. This, as Lago announced
to its employees, was false. The
company recognizes the Lago Em-
ployee Council as the sole bargain-
ing agent for its employees, and is
obligated by the contract of June' 3,
1960, to do so. At no time was a re-
quest to conduct a referendum as
provided by the contract received by
the company. If a dispute existed, it
was only in the minds of the twenty-
seven who signed the PWFA letter
informing Lago of the strike action,
and their limited number of followers.
Lago management informed gov-
ernment officials of the impending
strike called for Tuesday, Nov. 13,
and also that Lago would continue


to observe its obligations to its em-
ployees as provided in the contract
with the Lago Employee Council. The
Nov. 15 strike never materialized. A
government mediator, Frank Har-
tong, was appointed to meet with
Lago and the officers of the labor
federation. The federal mediator re-
quested that no strike be called dur-

President Mingus Praises
Lago Employees' Loyalty
As I had expected, the great
majority of Lago employees work-
ed as usual during the time a
small group was trying to dis-
turb our normal operations.
For this sensible and loyal ac-
tion, I give you my praise and
thanks.

Aruba Esso News Nears

Twentieth AnniversarL
In fifteen days the Aruba Esso News will be twenty years old.
Actually, it should be twenty years young, because in terms of indus-
trial editing a twenty-year-old publication is not very old. Chronologi-
cal years are of secondary importance in the editorial world. Every
time a newspaper or magazine appears its contents reflect newness,
change and development according to the progress of man. So it is
with industrial newspapers such as the Aruba Esso News. It reports
to Lago's employees and friends the change and development of the
company, its face and personnel. The primary purpose of the Aruba
Esso News or any objectively edited newspaper is to keep its readers
informed. Fear, distrust, animosity and hosts of other attitudes de-
trimental to industry, government, community and society in general
breed in the darkness of silence, not in the light of information.
The first issue of the Aruba Esso News, which appeared Dec. 18,
1940, clearly stated the paper's function to broaden the understanding
between employees and their company. An informed employee is one
capable of understanding and then intelligently forming an opinion.
Lago desires to have employees informed and understanding. That is
why regularly for twenty years the Aruba Esso News has published
information about Lago's life and development as created by its
thousands of faithful employees. It will always do so.
The first issue numbered six pages spread over a format just half
the size of the present Aruba Esso News. Stories included the ad-
ditional contribution to the Thrift Plan and the meetings of the Em-
ployees Advisory Committee and the General Advisory Committee.
The late L. G. Cmith, refinery head at the time, wished all employees
a merry Christmas, and the safe driving efforts of twelve employees
were recognized in the first issue of the Aruba Esso News. Other
employees were publicly congratulated through the News' pages for
Coin Your Ideas awards and efforts in winning a National Safety
Council prize. A touch of sports in the form of softball and football
results were published.
One item that appeared in the first issue and has survived time,
war, editorial and staff changes through just about every issue in-
cluding this one is the pleasant reminder schedule of paydays. The
founder and first editor of the Aruba Esso News was R. W. Schlageter,
present assistant public relations manager.

Esso News Ta Acercando


Su Vihesimo Aniversario
Aki dos siman Aruba Esso News lo ta binti anja bieu. Realmente
nos mester bisa binti anja jong pasobra den termino di publicacionnan

y desaroljo segun hende ta progress. Asina ta e caso cu publicacion-
nan industrial manera Aruba Esso News. E ta report na empleadonan
y amigonan di Lago e cambionan y desaroljo di compania, su cara y

periodic edita obhetivamente ta di tene su lectornan informal. Miedu,
desconfianza, enemistad y cantidad di otro actitudnan cu ta causa
danjo na industrial, gobierno, comunidad y sociedad en general ta

cion.
E prome copia di Aruba Esso News cu a parce 18 december 1940 a
proclama claramente e function di e corant ey, cual ta di extended en-
tendimiento entire empleadonan y nan compania. Un empleado inform

gencia. Lago ta desea pa su empleadonan ta informa y pa nan por

Esso News a public informacionan tocante bida di Lago y su desaroljo
manera nan a worde creA pa miles di empleadonan fiel y leal. Y lo e
sigi haci esey semper.
E promer number di Esso News tabata consist di seis bladji, y su

THE FALL is accomplished by pulling over

Projects Aimed at Beautifying Aruba

Being Worked Across Length of Island


There are Papiamento phrases,
sayings, bits of songs that refer
to "Aruba dushi" and "mi dushi
Aruba." The evidence of these
words is becoming more and more
apparent day after day as work to
beautify Aruba progresses. There
are over four hundred men pre-
sently engaged in cleaning up,
building and making some of
Aruba's more pleasant spots easily
accessible to sightseers. Employed
by the Aruba government, these
men are working on projects that
extend from one end of the island
to the other. While men are busy


cleaning up the area that parallels
the Palm Beach highway, there ire
others at the opposite end of the
island constructing a road to the-
caves near Fontein, and still others
thinning aloe acreage and cleaning
roadways in the middle of the is-
land. These are random examples,
of course, that exhibit the breadth
of the projects; there are many
more specific locations where men
are beautifying their island.
Over one million guilders was
budgeted by the government for
this work. Additional sums will be
requested for continuance of the


THE STONE fences are works of skill and know-how, and are construct-
ed under the supervision of the old hands who know how.
E TRANSHINAN di piedra ta trabao di saber y abilidad, y ta worde
construi bao supervision di veteranonan kende sabi con.


work through 1961. The projects
have progressed rapidly, and have
made some startling changes in fa-
miliar and in some not too familiar
by-ways. Where attractive sights
and nature's phenomena were once
difficult to reach, they are now
easily accessible with the develop-
ment of roadways, parking areas
and, in some instances, stairs.
On the north coast, the roadl
that follows the shoreline has been
improved. Two new roads have
been constructed that lead from
the north coast road to the caves
at Guadirikiri and Fontein. Tie
area in and around the Guadirikiri
caves, or as they are sometimes
called, the bat caves, has been
cleared. Ample parking space has
been leveled and stairs have been
constructed which lead to the
mouth of the caves.
At Boca Druif, which is juut
beyond Boca Prins and the sand
dunes, is an attractive cavern into
which sea water plunges. Inces-
sant wearing away by the poun-l-
ing seas has enabled water to roll
under about fifty yards of corl
cliff. The water's edge is at a spot
where the coral formation collaps-
ed ages ago, and it is down into
this cavern that the government
has built steps. Sightseers may
descend into the cavern and look
into the tunnel filled with churn-
ing water coming in from the seo.
The railing around the cavern and
the handrails on steps here and at
the caves are made of kwihi.
Ayo, long a favorite locale, has
had its huge boulder deposits
fenced off. The area is now con-
tained within a cactus fence; it is

Use Ladders Wisely;

Falls Are Dangerous
At this time of the year houses
in Aruba undergo major cleaning
and painting. Quite often ladders
are needed to reach the inaccessible
places. A ladder properly used is a
great convenience. This same im-
plement, however, can be extremely
dangerous if not used with care
and caution. Don't stand on the top
step of a stepladder. For the sake
of safety and balance, don't go bey-
ond the second step below the top
of a ladder. Always face the lad-
der going up and coming down.
Make sure your ladder or steplad-
der is strong and secured firmly on
the ground or floor. Paint or clean
within easy reach of the ladder;
don't stretch. When you climb the
ladder or stepladder make sure
your feet are firm and maintain a
solid grasp with your hands. Guard
against dangerous falls.

I First Piles Drive
(Continued from page 1)
that have been sunk slightly south
of No. 4 Finger Pier forecast the
depths piles need to be driven to
gain the firmness and stability ne-
cessary to support the necessary ton-
nage. The ends of the piles are blunt,
not pointed or wedge-shaped. Once
the tremendous force of the pile dri-
ver sends the piles downward, it re-
ally doesn't make much difference
whether their tips are blunt or point-
ed.
The pile driver is a twenty-ton at-
tachment that the crane picks up
and straddles around the piling,
which previously had been positioned
by the crane and held in place by
restricting brackets jutting from the
side of the crane barge. The working
part of the pile driver is the pile
hammer or ram, as it is called by the
Raymond Concrete Pile Company
constructionmen. The ram itself is
single acting in that it is picked up
by steam, but it falls free. It is not
driven down onto the pile's top as are
some hammers. The ram weighs
12,500 pounds and falls thirty-nine
inches before striking the top of the
pile. Its weight multiplied by the
distance it falls generates 40,600
pounds of energy. This easily ex-
plains why it doesn't make much
difference whether the tips of the
piles are blunt or pointed. As hard as
coral in San Nicolas Harbor can be,
one pile inching downward under the
tremendous pounding split a large
shelf of coral in two.

Heavier Rams
This ram is by no means the heav-
iest; there are heavier. One of the
heavier rams will be used on the
Lago pier project. The ram that will
be used to drive steel casings, which
will be part of the fender system,
weighs 22,000 pounds and generates
56,000 pounds of energy. The ram or
hammer strikes at a rate of fifty a
minute.
The prestressed concrete slabs that
will come later in the construction
will be something new in Lago build-
ing. The slabs will be prefabricated
in the area of the new barge dock.
In all, there will be 25 slabs cast and
placed in position on the new pier.
The slabs will be ten inches thick
and measure four feet by twenty-
eight feet. Each slab weighs seven
tons.
The entire area the new pier will
occupy is approximately 45,000
square feet. The interior, or center
section, of the new pier will not be
covered. Rather, it will be left open
for pipe assembly. The solid section
of about 30,000 square feet will form
the pier's perimeter which will in-
clude a walkway on the north side
and a roadway on the south side.
The crane has an interesting ge-
nesis in that it was constructed for
a specific project. It was built to
help build the bridge that crosses the
huge Lake Pontchartrain in Louisi-


n For New Pier
ana. From that project the crane
was towed to the Caribbean where it
worked on Jamaican and Trinidadian
projects before coming to Aruba. It
is capable of lifting fifty tons.
Supervising the entire project,
which calls for dismantling No. 4
Finger Pier and dredging the basin
on the north side of the new pier, is
Pete Campbell, a veteran of many
years of heavy construction and mar-
ine work. Mr. Campbell has ninety
men working for him including long-
service Raymond employees who
came to Aruba after completing pro-
jects in Lake Maracalbo. Mr. Camp-
bell supervised the construction of
derrick bases in the Lake which in-
cluded the driving of cylindrical pre-
tressed concrete piles. "Probably my
most unusual task," said Mr. Camp-
bell. Mr. Campbell has worked in
Colombia as well as antipode loca-
tions of Australia and New Zealand.
Mr. Campbell's assistant is Neil Mac-
Farlane, who is filling his first over-
seas post with Raymond. Old ex-
perienced hands, as well they have
to be, are Don McLean, foreman, and
Bill McCorsley, crane operator.


SCENIC ARUBA
(Continued from page 4)
clean and exceptionally attractive;
and a garden is being developed in
the preserve. The rocks at Casibari
are being enclosed by a stone wall.
This area also has been cleaned com-
pletely. From atop the highest of the
Casibari boulders viewers are afford-
ed what is perhaps the finest panora-
mic sight to be found in Aruba.
Plants will also be transplanted to
this area to develop a garden.
At Jaburibari, north of Paradera,
it is planned to section off a target
parcel of land where aloe wj[l be
planted. Much of the aloe will come
from the aloe fields around Balashi.
The aloe plants at Balashi are being
thinned and the area cleaned. The
plants are being transplanted rather
than destroyed in the event the de-
mand for aloe should ever increase.
The beach and surrounding area of
Basi Ruti are being cleaned and dev-
eloped into a large garden. Plants
grown in this area will be trans-
planted in Ayo, Casibari and other
island gardens. A stone wall is being
constructed in the Basi Ruti section.
In addition to the wall presenting an
extremely neat line paralleling the
highway, it will serve as a tourist
attraction and, it is hoped, it will be
a deterrent to foraging goats bent
on eating the cocopalms that flourish
here. The same type wall is being
constructed around the Casibari pre-
serve. The walls are fascinating and
unique and add a distinctive Aruban
touch to the area they define. In
most instances the walls are being
constructed by the work force's older
members who seem to be the ones
most highly skilled in the critical
placement of stones.
