Judge Hodge Would Award sl3,75l
Plus Interest Against William Baker

NOME. Rl-Federal Judge Wal
ter Hodge said Thursday he has
filed an opinion awarding judg-
ment for $13,751 plus interest
against William L. Baker, Ketchi-
kan, in 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 m orr ty 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 determine
ton of the amount to a special
master, or accountant.
Judge Hodges opinion confirmed
the special masters report, bu'
reduced the interest charge. The
Judge allowed interest at 6 per
cent from Nov. 7, 1855, plus the
plaintiffs costs and attorney fees
He ruled that cost of preparing
the special masters report Shoulc
be paid equally by the minority
stockholders, the Journal Printing
Co. and Baker.
The special master had recon-
mended charging Baker with in
terest for eight years, which
would have brought the total K
$19,500.

TB Is Chief Cause
OF Need of Aid to
Alaska Children

The Alaska Department of Pub
lie 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 1856 children who came
under the program for the first
time in 1855, 1T 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 lille
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, SIS percent of the children
who became eligible for Aid to
Dependent Children in Alaska last
wear were in need because their
parent either died from TB, was
hospitalized with the disease, or
is resting at home on chemother-
apy. Only SIS percent of the chill
dren were on Aid to Dependent
Children because of their moth
er's being unmarried.

A Challenge To jackson
Negro Citizens

Over at the meeting of the Territorial Division of
the United Givers Fund Drive, at the YWCA last Mon
day night of the officials of local Negro Boy Scouts
made the startling statement that Boy Scout activities
among Negro boys of the city is at virtual standsti
The reason given by the official for this sad and
startling fact that the volunteer workers, Commit
teemen ScOutmasters etc. had lost all confidence in the
Scout Executive and result the scouting program
is all but dead.
While agree that worthless Scout Execu-
tive becomes a severe handicap to the program
not inclined to the idea that such condition ustfies
the volunteer workers in letting the program die After
ALL the scouting program for the benefits of the boys
and not for the benefit of the scout executive.
According to understanding the scout executive
in question has since given up the position has been
removed and at present the organization is without
executive which is in fact the directing head of the
city-wide Scout Organization, and there is yet
replacement for the former executive
One of the reasons given for the lack of replace
ment for the former executive is that the salary offered
here not enough to bring to Jackson the trained and
competent worker needed to put the program here
in big way.
One of the organizations supported by the United
Givers Fund is the Boy Scouts and the of the
Territorial Division of the drive for funds may we'll be
the key to getting the necessary salary to bring top
flight to Jackson to head the Negro Boy Scout
Program.
To US the dying Boy Scout program, and the future
of Negro Boy Scouting in Jackson offers the greatest
challenge to the Negro citizens of the city to give gen.
erousy in order that the Territorial DIVISION which
icits donations from the Negro community, will not only
reach but surpass its $4,000 self-imposed goal.

Negroes Fired
After White
Workers Quit

Birmingham, Ala, Sept. 18 -
Managers of the Avondale Mills
here promised last week that they
would run their spinning mills
without the aid of Negro "doffers.'
After the announcement, white
workers who. had been on a short
walkout returned to work.
Veto P. Woodland, acting as
spokesman for the workers, said
workers on the. third shift of the
spinning room left because they
refused to work with Negroes.
Plant Superintendent Wendell
Morris told employees in the spin
ming room that if they returned to
work, Negroes would not be used
as "doffers."
Doffers are skilled workmen re-
sponsible for changing bobbins in
the cotton weaving machines.
]. Craig Smith, company presi-
dent said Negroes were hired as
doffers because the mills could not
get white workers for the third
shift.
1--WE prefer white workers on the
;ob. and have always hired them,'
Smith added.
He said the company hired the
Negroes to keep the mills running
because. one department can't OPP

WRONG WON'T GET RIGHT is
THE WAY TO HEAVEN.
Jesus came to this world to sepa-
rate
His Fathers saints from the world
and her law
Jesus gave he life to separate the
saints
And tell the world law it now.
The least mans law do to Gods
little ones
You have done it also to me
Christ said l am the way the
truth and the light
His Father gave him the power you
can see.
He healed the sick and raised the
dead
Gave sight to the blind also
He also said love We one another
If in Heaven you expect to go.
He is the doorkeeper of Gods
kingdom
He saved the world with his blood
All who would believe on him and
not in vain
Shall have an eternal home above.
How can you love the Lord above
And hate your fellow man at home
Heaven is an eternal happy life to
live
And He'll is an eternal gloom.
l am only asking you all to believe
Jesus Christ and not in vain
He was the only one fit to die
For the souls of both women and
men.
Jesus is a redeeming Christ
He is not Jew nor Gentle
He came to save with his precious
blood
And for that cause he had to die.
We need to clean out Gods house
And lock every window and door
Then God will have a oneless fam
lily
To live in Gods heaven for ever
more.
The world has gotten into Gods
house
The worlds leaders are giving
advice
Old mothers and fathers in Gods
house
Won't allow them to stand on the
floor but twice.
We must live life for Christ's
sake
To meet him at Heavens door
If we expect that eternal happy
life
In Gods kingdom forever more.

The C. M. E. Church also re-
ceived much recognition for its
courage to fight the odds and to
establish a church where Negroes
could worship God according to
the dictates of their own conscience.
He credited Dwight w. Culver with
having both the stamina and the
courage to combat the odds to es-
tablish a Negro church.
In his closing words he told of
how the Negro church had pio-
neered the way for freedom for
Negroes in America. He held high
hopes for the future. He told of
the Negro church's affiliation with
crusading movements and praised
the work of the NAACP in abol-
