WINGS & WHEELS
Wheel Out That Old VoIkswoqen
By CHARLES TARBRoU6H

Confident that the owner of
the oldest VOlkswagen now
operating in this country has
had happy motoring, the Ger
man auto builder will give him
the 500,000th Volkswagen soon
due in the United States.
Carl H. Hahn, vice president
Of Volkswagen of America, in
announcing the prize, said:
"Once we find the man who
owns the Oldest car, it will be
interesting to hear his report
about the service the car has
both given and gotten
AS a subtle reminder at the
lack Of obsolescence in the
Volkswagen, Mr.. Hahn also
pointed out that the oldest
car and the 500,OOOth will
look similar in exterior appear
ance."
Owners of vintage Volks-
wagons are required only to
file a simple entry form with
their dealer. The closing date
is April 20.
One of the few good ideas
ever originated by Hitler, the
Volks isn't really old enough to
attain classic rank. The first
ones came to the United States
with returning troops. The first
two brand new ones were regis
tered in this country in 1947
and 5000 were sold in 1854.
Last year the figure was over
$4,000, including 30,159 trucks
and station wagons.

King Grab Brings New Life To Village
WakefieIds Specialize In Frozen Grab

The Hiram McAllisters; the A. T.
Hansens. He is general superin-
tendent; Mr.. and Mrs. Mel Vegas.
Vegas is former professor of fish
cries; and Ken Thorson, marine
biologist, formerly with the Alaska
Dept. of Fish and Game. The lat
ter two are in charge of quality
control and product development
for Wakefield Fisheries. They have
a fully equipped psychological
laboratory at Port Wakefield, and
another at Wakefield's Sand Point
plant; presently employed is John
Gibbons of Kodiak, who has been
in charge of several of the villages
projects; and Vinny Root, also of
Kodiak, contractor for all of the
plumbing and heating installations.
In addition to the headquarters
office and crab plant at Port Wake
field, the company has other crab
processing plants at Sand Point
and at Seldovia.
The company also has two float
ing processing plants, the Deep
Sea, under Captain Ben Gjerde,
and the Refer King, under Cap
tain Odd Ronstad. One or both of
these usually operates in the Kodi-
ak district.
Over a hundred Alaska-owned
and Alaska-manned fishing boats
deliver king crabs to the Wake
field plants during the season. All
of the plant superintendent and
other management personnel at
Port Wakefield, Sand Point and
Seldovia are Alaska residents, as
are most of the production employ
ees.
Port Wakefield was established
in 1885 as a herring saltry and
reduction plant. 1t operated con-

tinuously in the herring fishery
until shortly after world war II,
when a combination of circum-
stances forced clsure of most
of the Kodiak herring plants, none
of which opeated this year. A scar
city of fish, high costs and de-
pressed market due to the growth
of foreign competition combined to
close down this valuable fishery.
In 1910 and 1941, experiments
were conducted at Port Wakefield
on the processing of King crab.
The Fish and WIldlife Service had
been conducting a survey of this
resource, which up until that time
had been exploited on a large
scale only by Japanese floating
canneries in Bristol Bay. The gov
eminent survey indicated that the
principal concentration of Alaska
king crabs was in the Bristol Bay
area. Also, the Port Wakefield ex-
periments developed the fact that
the king crabs could be successful
ly frozen without deterioration
of quality, unlike other crabs and
lobster.
Lowell Wakefield decided that
the king crab resources held great
promise, and in 1947 launched tie
first large scale American CONNER
cial king crab operation with the
departure of the specially&0iilt
trawfer-freezer ship Deep Sea for
Bristol Bay.
AS king crab became better
known, and markets expanded.
other boats entering the fishery
discovered that there was greater
supply of king crabs in the waters
around Kodiak Island, in Cook
Inlet, and the Shumagins than had
earlier been thought. Several king
crab operations developed in the
Kodiak area and in Homer and
Seldovla. Wakefield Fisheries put
small king crab plant in at Port
wakefield and started the opera

King Crabs have given a new
lease on life to village built by
herring. The site of one of Kodi-
axis active king crab processing
plants, Port Wakefield is also head
quarters for all Wakefield Fisher
les crab operations, the most ex-
tensive in Alaska.
Several new homes and apart
ments, new water system, in adj
dition to plant and office facili-
ties, have been built in recent
months or are under construction
as the village strives to meet it's
new role in Kodiak and Alaska
economy.
Nearly one hundred persons cur
rently reside at Port Wakefield,
including production workers in
the crab plant, and some of the
men engaged in new construction
work. Many of these come from
the city of Kodiak, and from the
villages of Afognak, Larsen Bay,
and from other villages as far out
as Akutan. Some spend only the
crab season here, others are here
year around, as are the families.
Heading the company as presi-
dent is Lowell Wakefield, who with
his wife and two children, reside
at the site. Ralph Jones, vice-presi-
dent in charge of production, and
general superintendent of all the
Wakefield fishing and packing
operations, also resides with his
family at the site.
A vice-president of the company,
Howard Wakefield is superinten-
dent of the Port Wakefield plant.
He and Mrs. Wakefield also live
at Port Wakefield.
Families include Frank Mackay
and his wife, the Harry Nelson's.

Wakefield production is limited

Editor, Carbon County News
Red Lodge, Montana
Dear Sir:
Your editorial entitled cit Stinks"
which appeared in the March 18th
issue attacked the Butte miners and
their dependents as well as the United
Mine Workers of Carbon County
when you stated the fate of the Ana
conda employees may be ''like that
of hundreds of Carbon County coal
miners who lost their jobs when
high wages priced coal out of a COM
petitive market.
Your reference to the coal miners
is false and misrepresents the true
facts. IN the early twenties when coal
mining was booming in Carbon
County, the basic wage scale was
$3.50 per eight hour day and en-
ployment was at a high peak of ap-
proximately 1900. This high level
of production and employment con-
tinued until 1928 when the Carbon.
County miners adhered to the ma
tional policy of the United Mine
Workers and accepted a 2O%o wage
cut. The following year mines closed
and miners were laid off. Following
another wage reduction in 1892 addi-
tional mines suspended operation and
more miners were unemployed.
1t was a wage reduction precipi-
tated by the cut-throat competition
in the industry which caused unem-
ployment and it was not wage in
crease as your editorial misleadingly
indicated. The philosophy of wage
reduction has been disproven count
less times John l.. Lewis, the great
est labor leader of all times. stated

of Red Lodge who have personal
the true facts. We know it was not
a fluctuating wage rate which
heralded the demise of the Carbon
County coal industry. We know it
was the importation of natural
gas and we know that the Carbon
County News conducted success
full campaign to hiring this natural
gas into Red Lodge and this was
what drove the last nail in the
coffin of King Coal.
Why be hysterical about extra
taxation to help the needy in our own
state when we are taxed to extend
financial assistance to the needy
people throughout the world? Your
editorial further inquired what hap
pened to the Flush welfare funds
which unions built up to give strike
relief by exacting levies on their en-
ployers?"
l don't know where you get your
information, but it is certainly news
to me and the officers and members
of the United Mine Workers who
have never heard of employers in
any state being levied upon by unions
to establish welfare fund from
which strike benefits are paid. For
what purpose were these absurd,
false statements, innuendos and in
ferences made? Is it to encourage
another assault on organized labor
in Montana or is it to attract praise
from the union busters?
While you delude yourself with
these falsehoods, we will direct our
attention to the welfare of those who
are in need whether the money is
appropriated by the state welfare
fund or-from other sources. We will
try to feed the hungry here at home
and if there is anything left. we will
send the rest to other parts of the
world.
