SOAP BOX DERBY
RACERS EASIER TO
BUILD THIS YEAR
1 Soap Box Derby racing cars are
easier than ever to build this year.
The National Rules Committee,
in making revisions for the 1951
’ Official Rule Book, stressed the
fact that ease of construction would
be the biggest possible contribution
t<r “giving the race to the boys.”
Confusing and confining rules
were eliminated. The 1950 rule
which prohibited laminated con
struction was eliminated. For 1951
racing cars, boys may use various
types of body construction.
A boy's weight is no longer a big
factor in Derby car building. The
new rules provide that a car may
carry added secured weight, to
bring the total of car and boy up
to the 250-pcund limit. This is ex
■ pected to make it easier for light
boys to compete fairly against
bigger boys.
FUR STORAGE
at
Chas. Goldstein & Co.
Your furs need summer
protection in correct
cold storage
So bring or send your furs to
Chas. (^oldstein's office
Goldstein Building—Plione 102
The use of metal springs of any
^ kind is forbidden in the 1951-model
racers. This rule was adopted to
I cut down costs, to make coftstruc
i tion easier and to encourage “boy
built cars. Rules committee mem
bers felt that average boys could
not handle metal-spring fabrica
tion without costly work in profes
sional shops.
Tricky construction of steering
: gear was eliminated by a new rule
which provides that the center of
the steering wheel must be no
farther forward than the driver’s
knees when he is in driving pos
I ition.
Safety factors were considered at
; all times when the new rules were
drafted, especially in a new section
| about brakes. It is now provided
that the bolts which hold the fac
ing to the brake shoe must be
I countersunk.
The safety factor also dictated
the new rule w'hich provides that
, the floorboard, if made of wood,
must be at least three-quarters of
an inch thick. It may be thicker,
however, depending on how much
i weight the builder wants to build
i into the car in this fashion.
The Juneau Soap Box Derby of
| Chevrolet is sponsored by the Ro
tary Club and Daily Alaska Em
pire.

"KILL THE UMPIRE"
OPENING TONIGHT
CAPim THEATRE
“Kill The Umpire,” said to be a
comedy of the first kind and full
of laughs, is coming to the Capitol
Theatre tonight for the weekend.
Coming as it does at the start of
the baseball season in Juneau "Kill
The Umpire" is timely. Here is the
short story:
Ex-ball player Bill Johnson (Wil
liam Bendix) reluctantly takes the
advice of his father-in-law (Ray
Collins), a former umpire, and en
ters an umpire's school.
As an umpire in the Texas League,
Bill does all right until the cham
pionship playoffs when a riot de
velops over one of his decisions.
A player involved is knocked un
conscious and cannot testify that
3ill called the play correctly. Des
pite lynch mob plans to tar and
feather him. Bill’s family — his
daughters (Gloria Henry and Con
nie Marshall!, his wife (Una Merkel^
and his father-in-law — next day
help Bill reach the ball park, thru
a series of hair-raiSing encounters.
The injured player is also rushed to
the park, and he tells the fans the
umpire was right. The fans applaud
Bill lustily.
And then, immediately after Bill's
decision on the first pitch, the fans
angrily shout again; “Kill the Um
pire!”
JULY, AUGUST
DATES SET FOR
KID TROUT DERBY
Plans for the Territorial Sports
men’s Inc., junior trout derby are
moving forward. Preliminary plans
have been outlined by the board
of directors with 10 or more awards
set up which include a bicycle,
camera, sleeping bag and several
fishing outfits.
Age limit will be through 15 years.
All species of trout will be consid
ered that are caught in Salmon,
Montana or Sheep creeks. Size is to
be determined on a poundage basis
after the fish is dressed and gills
are removed. Weighing-in stations
remain to be found and will be an
nounced later.
Tentatively set dates are from July
1 to August 19 inclifsive. The valid
ity of- the catch must be certified by
an adult and the trout must be
hooked and landed by the contest
ant without assistance.
A small entry fee will be charged
to help cover the cost of a bras
sard which will be given to each
contestant.
Each participant will be asked
to sign the conservation pledge
which reads: “I give my pledge as
an American to save and faithfully
to defend from w'aste the natural
resources of my country — its soil
and minerals, its forests, waters and
wildlife.”
The Sportsmen believe that from
the junior trout derby an affiliated
organization might be born, if there
is sufficient interest.
SENTINEL TO LEAVE
The halibuter Sentinel will leave
tonight after taking on a load of
bait. She will head for Area 3 fish
ing grounds to be there for the
May 1 opening of the halibut sea
son. Aboard will be Capt. Vince

FOOL'S GOLD IN
DEMAND BY LARGE
INDUSTRIAL FIRM
In years past many a prospector’s
heart momentarily has beaten faster'
at the appearance of outcrops of
yellow metal, only to discover on
closer investigation it was compara
tively worthless fool’s gold. Today,
however, large deposits of this min
eral may bring real gold into the
pockets of the Territory’s prospec
tors, it. is reported by the Alaska
Development Board,
A large industrial firm in the]
eastern United States has written
the boatd asking for information
about deposits of iron pyrlte and
other sulphides in the more acces
sible regions of Alaska. If sufficient
ly large deposits are found the com
pany will have an engineer examine
.hern with the view toward estab
lishment of an important new in
dustry in the Territory.
The potential value of this min
eral recently was described to the
Seattle Chamber of Commerce by
Ernest N. Patty, former dean of the
University of Alaska’s School of
Mines, who told the group that
Alaska pyrite deposits may be of
high strategic importance.
Prospectors knowing of iron pyrite
or other sulphide deposits in the
Territory are asked to write the
ADB, Box 50, Juneau.
DOLL STYLE SHOW
TOMORROW AT THE
MEMORIAL CHURCH
A style show that is unique in
the community will be held to
morrow afternoon between 2 and
5 o’clock in Waggoner Hall of the
Memorial Presbyterian Church, the
Rev. Walter Soboleff, pastor, said
last evening. It will consist of an I
exhibition of dolls of many types
and kinds.
Planned jointly by the Memorial
church Sunday School Superinten
4s»i. Miss Clara Robison, and the
church’s missionary society, of
which Mrs. Cyrus Peck is presi
dent, the boys and girls of the
church are bringing a large num
ber of assorted dolls to place on
display.
An added attraction will be the
famous ’’Doll Family” of talented
youth worker, Miss Claudia Kelsey.
Miss Kelsey’s doll family is quite
tenowned, and there are many in
Juneau. Soboleff said, who will
doubtless be glad to see it. Exhib
ited along with many of the native
hand-made creations, the welcome!
extended to the public will, the
sponsors hope, bring out a large
number of visitors.
