Winners in 1969 Lago Science Fair Obtain Prizes at Gathering


During a special ceremony
held on April 1, 1969, Presi-
dent W. A. Murray presented
prizes to students of seven
winning projects in this year's
Lago Science Fair. The event
took place in the General Of-
fice Conference Room 200.
After the opening remarks
of Science Fair Committee
Chairman Ken Brook, Mr. Mur-
ray addressed the guests and
congratulated the winners. The
president said, "Again you
young boys and girls have
shown what can be accom-
plished through conscientious
effort, perseverance, and ima-
gination. Although participa-
tion was down this year as
compared to last year, you
have every reason to be proud
of your achievements there
were indeed many good and in-
teresting projects on exhibit
this year. You are to be com-
mended for a job well done."
Following Mr. Murray's
speech, Ken Brook called the
winners who received their
prizes from Lago's president.
The prizes, all gift wrapped,
were selected by the winners
themselves from a variety of
items displayed by local firms
during the fair. Token prizes
were also presented to con-

students of the twelve parti- ed out in its annual report
(Continued on page 8) mailed recently to nearly
774,000 shareholders that ac-
counting changes had the ef-
fect of reducing the earnings
figures for both years.

In a letter to shareholders
in the annual report, M. L.
Haider, chairman, and J. K.
Jamieson, president, noted
that "production of crude oil
and natural gas liquids reach-
ed a new high rate of 5,225,000
barrels a day, up 8.2 per cent
over 1967, with marked in-
creases in production in the
United States, Venezuela, and
Libya. Improved manufactur-
ing facilities in all areas and
expanded capacity in Europe
made possible record refinery
crude oil runs of 4,621,000

noted.
The two executives added
that "dividend payments to
shareholders were increased
for the eighth year in a row
- from $3.45 per share in
1967 to $3.65 in 1968. This
was the 86th consecutive year
of dividend distributions.
"Sales of natural gas are
making an increasingly signi-
ficant contribution to Jersey's
total revenues," Messrs. Hai-
der and Jamieson said. "In
1968 such sales increased
sharply to 5,296 million cubic
feet a day. Sales in the large
U.S. market accounted for
80.8 per cent of the total.
However, fast-growing sales
in Europe more than doubled
those of 1967. Jersey's 30 per
cent interest in production
from .the Groningen field in
The Netherlands, for sale in
that country and for export,
is expected to double again
by 1970."

National Parks Foundation Plans

To Develop a Natural Reservation


tural Reservation covers 80 hectares, including the 130-meter hi
Arikok hill and a projected road crossing the area.

The.Aruba Division of the
Netherlands Antilles National
Parks Foundation, headed by
John W. Merryweather, is
working on developing an area
of 80 hectares of hilly terrain
into a natural reservation. The
area has a somewhat triang-
ular shape, running from near
Arikok hill (Peak 130 meters)
to Boca Ketu, along the north-
east coast to Boca Prins and
back to Arikok (see map and
pictures). The idea is to fence
in this area and to preserve
the lush growth of several
types of trees, shrubs and
cacti as well as birds and some
'animals in this area.
The fencing job will be
done by work groups. A scout
group from the U.S. has al-
ready pledged assistance. The
Arikok area will also be dev-
eloped into a camping site for
visitors.
John Merryweather pointed
out during a field press con-
ference near Arikok that the
Lago donation on the occa-
sion of 40 years of refining in
Aruba (Jan. 29, 1969) will be
used for developing this nat-
ional park. He further men-
tioned that the tourist road to
be built along the north and
east coast of the island will


also cross the natural reser-
vation, so that visitors will be
able to see the scenic spots in
this area.
One good way of promoting
the cultivation of more plants
and trees on the island, says
Mr. Merryweather, could be
the slogan: "Don't cut down
a tree, plant one."
Other projects the National
Parks Foundation will be
working on in the future in-
clude preservation or restora-
tion of rock formations and
natural monuments, such as
Indian petroglyphs at Ayo,
Arikok and in caves at Fon-
tein; buildings and ruins such
as the ore stamping mill at
Bushiribana, the gold smelter
at Balashi and the old lime
kiln in Oranjestad. Other mo.
numents of interest on their
list are old tombs of former
commanders at Seroe Patrishi,
Savaneta, Ponton, and Indian
graves at Malmok.
The National Parks Found-
ation was founded in 1962 and
has as its objective the acqui-
sition, preservation and pro-
tection of areas of geological,
archeological or historical in-
terest, those with important
animals and flowers and areas
of natural or landscape beauty.

New Deballasting Tank Will Keep Harbor and Sea Clean at Lago
As Lago's share in the Esso
worldwide "Clean Seas Pol-
icy", the company is building
a new tank (No. 401) west of
Powerhouse No. 1 to receive --
ballast water from ships dock-
ing at Finger Piers 1, 2 and 3.


It may look like a regular
tank, but there are some spe-
cial things about this tank.
Including some automatic fea-
tures, the tank first of its
kind at Lago has three
overflow lines for sea water
at different levels, a plastic
float under the roof, instru-
ment to advise Powerhouse
operator when pumping into
the tank starts, and a special
oil level indicator. The inte-
rior wall also has a special
paint coating against corro-
sion. Safety features include
low and high level alarms and
pressure/vacuum vents.

The new deballasting sys-
tem assures that practically
no oil contained in ballast wa-
ter will ever find its way to
the sea. This will further help
keep the harbor and nearby
sea area clean of oil residuals.

At present the ballast water
from ships calling at the San
Nicolas Harbor is pumped in-
to the Secondary Oil Separa-
tor. Because of its limited ca-
pacity and as a safety precau-
tion to reduce a potential fire
hazard, this separator should
no longer be handling ballast
water together with refinery
effluents.

which can handle ballast wa-
ter from three tankers simul-
taneously, will receive the oily
ballast water. After settling,
the oil will be pumped into
slop oil tanks 409, 410 and 411
for further water separation.
From these tanks, the dry
slop oil goes to the processing
units.

Tanki Nobo pa Awa di Lastre Ta

Yuda Pa Tene Haaf y Lama Limpi


Como Lago su parti den Es-
so su esfuerzo mundial pa
"Tene Lama Limpi", compa-
nia ta trahando un tanki no-
bo (No. 401) pabao di Power-
house No. 1, pa recibi awa di
lastre cu barcunan na Finger
Piernan 1, 2 y 3 ta manda pa
tera.
Por ta cu e tanki ta parce
esunnan regular, pero tin al-
gun cos tipico tocante e tanki
ey. Fuera di algun caracteris-
tica automatic, e tanki
cual ta esun promer di su ti-
po na Lago -tin tres tubo
pa awa salu sali pafor na tres
nivel, un pieza di plastic cu ta
drief bao di su dak, instru-
mento pa inform Power-
house su operator na ward
ki ora pompmentu pa jena e
tanki ta cuminza, y un indi-
cador di nivel cu ta mustra
com haltu awa ta den e tanki.
Parti paden di tanki lo wor-
de geverf cu pintura especial
contra frustiamentu. Aparato.
nan pa mantene seguridad ta
inclui alarm pa ora awa ta
much haltu of abao y tubo
pa aire drenta y sali.
E sistema nobo pa recibi
awa di, lastre di bapornan ta
garantiza cu practicamente
ningun zeta cu ta den awa di
lastre por core bai lama. Y
esey lo juda mas pa tene haaf
y lama den vecindario limpi


di zetanan pisa, of restu di
zeta den tanki di barcu.
Actualmente awa di lastre
cu barcunan den haaf di San
Nicolas descarga ta word ge-
pomp den Separador Secun-
dario di Zeta. Pa via di su
capacidad y como un precau-
cion di seguridad pa reduce
riscu di candela, e separador
aki no mester recibi awa di
lastre mas huntu cu awa cu
ta sali di plant.

E tanki nobo di 30,000 ba.
ril, cu por recibi awa di lastre
di tres tankero na mes tempu,
lo recibi awa di lastre cu tin
zeta aden. Despues cu awa
zink den bom, ta keda ariba
awa y e zeta ta ser gepomp
pa sloptanknan 409, 410 y 411
pa sigi su separacion. For di
e tankinan ey, zeta sushi sin
awa ta pasa pa plantanan di
refinacion.

Dirigente di e project pa
Facildadnan pa Recibi Awa
di Lastre, bao di construction
y cu un costo di mas of menos
$130,000, ta Eddy Tjin Kon

block valve be installed where
the 12-inch fuel run-down line
3 ties into the 16-inch fuel
rundown line 9 at Tank No. 102.
R. L. Franken of Mechan-
ical-Refining Zone and Sylvan
Paul of Mechanical-Shops,
each won two Fls. 40 awards
