For contractors, loggers, farmers and others, a Cater

ment intended for similar work. They will stay on the job
longer and give a full day’s work every day. Caterpillar Diesel
Tractors will operate with a minimum of down-time, and
require no coddling regardless of weather, terrain or soil con
ditions. All "Cat”-built tractors are built to stand the stresses
and strains of hard use. Five models from which to choose.

Men and equipment need

of Broderick and Bascom preformed
Yellow Strand wire rope. Tough, drawn-to-order steel wires
provide the starting point for Yellow Strand’s endurance. Pre
forming then adds greater flexibility and efficiency. This process
neutralizes stiffness and internal stresses and results in a
limber rope that resists kinking and whipping, runs and spools
smoothly and is safer to handle. Ideal for construction, logging
and all uses where wire rope is needed. *

' Generator Units
* F°r installations where
' dependable, 24-hour-a
day operation is required, use a Witte engine or a Witte engine
generator unit. They will provide reliable, low-cost power, are
completely weatherproof, and can be operated out-of-doors,
without protection, except under extreme cold or wet-weather
conditions. Both are compact, require minimum maintenance,
and operate on low-cost diesel fuel. There are many generator
unit models for either direct or alternating current, and Witte
diesel engines from 4 to 12.5 horsepower.

, NOME. UPt—Federal Judge Wal
ter Hodge said Thursday he has
filed an opinion awarding a judg
ment for $13,751 plus interest
against William L. Baker, Ketchi
kan, in a case in which minority
stockholders of the Journal Print
ing Co. sought an accounting.
Baker is publisher of the Ketch
ikan Chronicle, published by the
Journal Company.
Judge Hodge said the actual
judgment would be issued later,
when the plaintiffs attorneys pre
sent it for his signature. His opin
ion said execution of the judgment
would be stayed pending arrange
ments by Baker for payment on
installments.
The minority stockholders
brought the original action against
Baker, asking an accounting of
corporation funds. Baker contend
ed the sum in question consisted
of loans by the company to him
self and that they showed on the
books at all times.
The late Judge George Folta
granted a summary judgment
against Baker but left determina
tion of the amount to a special
master, or accountant.
Judge Hodge’s opinion confirmed
the special master’s report, but
reduced the interest charge. The
judge allowed interest at 6 per
cent from Nov. 7, 1955, plus the
plaintiff’s costs and attorney fees.
He ruled that cost of preparing
the special master’s report should
be paid equally by' the minority
Stockholders, the Journal Printing
Co. and Baker.
The special master had recom
mended charging Baker with in
terest for eight years, which
would have brought the total to
$19,500.

TB Is Chief Cause
Of Need of Aid to
Alaska Children
The Alaska Department of Pub
lic Welfare has recently completed
a study of the Alaska Aid to De
pendent Children cases, to deter
mine the reasons the child lost the
support of one or both parents.
Of the 1,556 children who came
under the program for the first
time in 1955, 11.7 percent had lost
their parent or parents through
death; 65.7 percent were deprived
because of illness; and 22.6 per
cent of the parents were absent
because of divorce or separation,
desertion, imprisonment, or ille
gitimacy.
There has been no breakdown
of these figures for the Second Di
vision, but the rate of tuberculosis
in the Second and Fourth Divi
sions is remarkably higher than
in the rest of Alaska.
Combining the tuberculosis fig
ures, 55 percent of the children
who became eligible for Aid to
Dependent Children in Alaska last
year were in need because their
parent either died from TB, was
hospitalized with the disease, or
is resting at home on chemother
apy. Only 5.5 percent of the chil
dren were on Aid to Dependent
Children because of their moth
er’s being unmarried.
