LAGO’S NEW EMPLOYEES MEDICAL CENTER” OPENED TO VISITORS
Lago’s new: »Hmployee Medical Center’, replacing the old Plant Dispensary, opened its doors to its first visitors last Thursday «when a group of doctors and press ‘men were invited to tour and in
“. spect the new facilities. On hand
to welcome and guide the two “groups - at different hours of the afternoon - were Dr. R. C. Carrell,
. Head of Lago’s Medical Depart. ment, and Dr. R..F. Brace, long
time Héad’ of the Plant Dispensary and designated Chief of the
- * “mew Center. Also present for the
occasion was Dr. Thomas Kienzle ‘of the staff of the parent company’s Medical Department ig New. York.
Both Dr. Carrell and Dr. Brace in their introductory remarks stated that the completion of the Medical Center was the fulfilment
of a dream that began many years
ago, For long they had realized #he inadequacy of the old Plant ’ Dispensary, and . the peautiful, new Center would be a unit more capable of taking maximum care - of the employees for whom it was puilt. It was erected by the firm of Petrona & Croes at a cost of - approximately Fls. 700,000. Dr. Brace explained to the visitors
that the Center would not only take care of actual physical ill
- nessess and injuries, but would
pay great attention to ’’constructive medicine,” which dealt more with the preventive aspect of ill‘ ness. Attention would also be paid to the “psychosomatic” or mental angle, and for this purpose IDEE, Turfboer, assistant to Dr. Brace,
was at present on study in New - solo flier as he climbed happily
York. *
Dr. Brace then conducted the visitors through the spacious es shaped buildin’ explaining the Jay-out and the purpose of the various sections. The Center carries four clinics for the daily treatment of employees, one of the clinics being specially for females.
. Waiting rooms, doctor’s offices, .
clinies and lavatories all have the appearance of beauty and spotJessness, with their cream or -green walls and green rubber “floor tiles. The whole building is air-conditioned. .
The Center is scheduled to start
full-scale operations on Monday, November 22nd. Before then, it
will be open to visits by employees and their families from Nov. 14-18, and during the period of November 19-21 records, equipment and furniture needed from the old dispensary will be moved into place. Business’ begins on : the 22nd.
The Management of the Lago deserve the deepest thanks of the employee body for making such an up-to-date and valuable Medical Unit available to their work

Light Plane Crosses Atlantic in Non-Stop Flight
Max Conrad, age 50, father of 10 children, landed a light twoengined plane near Paris last Sunday after a nonstop flight of 22 hours' and 19 minutes from New York. “Pm not tired”, said the San Francisco song writer and veteran
from the cabin of a Piper Apache, ”T just. need to relax a bit.” He nonchalantly bounced a grapefruit in his hand, all that was left of the slim provisions of toast, fruit and soft. drinks with which he started out from New York's Idlewild airport Saturday.
He landed at Toussus le Noble
air field near Paris. It was his >
fifth solo flight across the Atlantic in a light plane, but his first nonstop.
The plane has a normal capacity of four passengers. Some of this space had to -be used to store ex
_ tra gasoline. Special tanks holding ~
300 gallons fitted in place of the
rear seats and 72-gallon wing tanks gave the craft a 25-hour range.
Hurrying indoors out of a light
rain, Conrad, formerly of Winona, Minn., sipped champagne while deseribing his flight as uneventful. He said the weather was gen erally good, adding: » J yan into a belt of bad weather! over the north Atlantic and had to go through some snow and ice. Most of the time I was, without radio contact.”
The flight was planned to deliver the plane to France from the ©

L.S.P. BASEBALL SEASON | OFFICIALLY CLOSED
,»Champions Announced’
The Lago Sport Park baseball competition officially came to a close last Sunday evening when Mr. J. R. Proterra on’ behalf of the Lago Management presented the champions of the various divisions with trophies.
Mr. Robert Martin| chairman. of the LSP Board spoke for the “LSP. Among other things he pro“mised the fans that the LSP Board will do their utmost to bring baseball up to the standards wf a few years ago. Among the items he mentioned was the formation of classes in umpiring and Scoring.
It®is understandable that ‘he made such a statement, since for the last two or three years no prizes have been awarded for best batting, etc., fompetent scorers. Though it is a fact that there are not enough competent Umpires and scorers available right now we do not bejieve that having classes alone will solves the problem. There Should be some sort of incentive too.
The players for instance may get trophies, but what does an umpire or a scorer ever get for his efforts?.Little things like uniforms for the umpires and a good scorer’s box will do a lot, it is believed.
Popular Mr. Jose La Cruz acted as. M: C. on this occasion. The champions announced were as follows:
F 2A TEAGUE CHESTERFIELD - Champion. CAMEL ”B” - Runner-up. The trophy for winning the most games went to Mr. Stanley Lejuez (Chesterfield).
"B” LEAGUE AGUILLA CIBAENA - Champion. ALTEZA - Runnerup. The champion pitcher was HE. R. Orman (Aguila Cibaena).

two games played at the Lago Sport. Park during last week-end.
Until the bottom of the fourth, ‘the match was scoreless; and it "was a race between Curacao’s Gra-venhorst and Aruba’s Donald Panthophlet (chosen by manager Lerand as starter instead of . the TSP ”’A” champion pitcher, S. Lejuez) to see who would register the “most strike-outs and give the least hits. Up to the fifth, Curacao had only one hit, an infield that skid«ded off the glove of pitcher Panthophlet and was too late for sescond-baseman Blijden, to make a play at first. Even up to the seventh, Donald was not tagged ‘hard. He had three hits against him so far.
Gravenhorst of Lucky Strike -although a run was scored against whim off two walks, an error and @, squeeze play -- had a better advantage over his adversary, Pan‘thophlet. Despite his giving up six bases on balls in those six inmings for one run, Aruba got only sone safely from him, and _ this came in the sixth off the bat of V. Benjamin who substituted on second for T. Blijden in the fifth.
A total of seven pitchers were ~used in the game, with Aruba taking the margin. Curacao used three and Aruba four. The four _Aruba, pitchers were blasted for a “total of 12 hits, while the Curacao moundsmen were cracked for singles three times.
Aruba did not keep the fourth round 1-run lead for long, for, in the. following inning, Curacao ame across with three runs off three costly errors and a hit. An‘other run was produced in the ‘seventh, when Panthophlet was connected hardest. He allowed two singles ‘and his third baseman helped the cause with an overthrow error, (his second: of the night), to first.
uracao’s biggest inning was the eighth; Lucky Strikers came to at ten times and Canister got two licks that finished Pantophiet. _Panthophlet took for the showers after two ”Smokers’” connected him consecutively. Help -was sought from Samuel Blijden, who, actually was of no help because he did not retire a batter in that eighth inning. It was left to Geraldo Stamper to finish that ‘stanza left pmoning by his prede‘CeSsors.
It would not have been fair ae allow Stamper to extinguish the fire without getting a hit or run from him, so the Curacao boys filled his hands with a few to
_ avoid discrimination.;When the
side was retired, no less than
; seven’ big’ runs. were : seored,’ and .

-- who followed Stamper on the mound in the ninth -- something to remember also, thei Curacao, champs scored a single on a passball by S. Richardson. The run followed a hit and another error. Aruba did not score again until the eighth and ninth rounds. Twos runs came across in each of these two innings. It was in the eighth that Lucky Strike’s hurler, Gra
~venhorst -- who had done a fine
job -- gave way to’ Chickitin Grigorius, due to tiredness. The LSP boys started to build a record of base-on-balls on Gravenhorst and later on the 6 ft., 3 inches Grigorios, but the big lead of eight runs in his favor encouraged Grigorios to close the inning without further damage.
Aruba again had four base-on-+ balls and a hit in the ninth frame, but all the walks did not come off. Chikitin this time, because his Manager did not give hin« the chance to establish a record of free passes. His successor, Canister, however, picked .up where Chickitin left off and if A. Chin did not strike out and Paul tagged by the catcher (for the second out) in trying to come home when the latter dropped the ball after Chin fanned with the bases loaded, Aruba would have scored more than two runs and probably start a confusion ort the Curacao side. |
During a brief ceremony before the game, Mr. Edny Huckleman, Commissioner of the National Non-Professional Baseball Asso,ciation for the Netherlands Antilles, pitched the first ball. Officials _
and UMadrina’..of .the Curacao
Lucky Strike eam and members
of the LSP Board, accompanied.
Mr.. Huckleman to the mound. Donald Panthophlet could have
pitched the whole game were it
not for the countless, timely errors committed by his infield; and failure by the whole squad to hit! in a clutch. Aruba had many opportunities to score, judging from
the fact that they received sixteen
base on balls -- many coming" in consécutive order. Donald hurled his best game of the year.
Mer. Harry Legrand of Aruba
,used all the men he had available
These 19, together with the 14 used by Mgr. Hoertado of Curacao, made a combined total off thirty-three players participating in this match. This is a record for the LSP.
Only seven of the 12 Curacao runs were batted in. Aruba batted in 3 of her five. Curacao stole a total of 12 bases while five Arubans broke the law of the seventh commandment.
Curacao’s best batters, each with two hits were: Martin, Sussana, Canister and Anacherico. For Aruba, A. Panthophlet, E. Ponson, V. Benjamin and S. Paul, connected 1 of the Aruba hits.
