SOAPBOX | DERBY BOY GOES EAST Jerry Chapman Is Given Rousing Sendoff This Morning-For Akron Jerry Chapman, Juneau's hero and champion race driver in the Soap Box Derby sopnsored by the Rotary Club and the Daily Alaska Empire, was given a rousing send- | off this morning as a crowd of over a hundred Juneauites, adults and | kids, lined the dock to bid farewell Amid the cheers of his fellow entrants, showers of streamers, and the musical strains of “Anchors Aweigh,” young Chapman sailed down the Channel aboard the Prin- cess Louise on the first leg of his 3,000-mile trip to Akron, Ohio, that may result in fame and kid fortune. Upon the arrival of Jerry at the dock there was a stampede of friends as they crowded around to give one last hand shake before his depar- ture. When asked for a statement for The Empire the modest hero smiled .and._ calmly replied: “I am | happy and proud to represent Ju- | jneau in this national contest.” | Young Chapman is being accom- panied by Mr, and Mrs. Don Skuse on the trip and will, after the Na- tional Derby is over, remain in the States for school. | The race is to take place on Aug- ust 17 as hundreds of entrants from all sections of the country vie with | each other to win the precious schol- | arship that will result in national prominence for the winner. | The course in Akron, differing from the Juneau course ,is 1,000 feet long and is straight, starting at the top of a 15 per cent grade . which smooths out to a 2 per cent grade at the finish line . 1 Crowds as large as 15,000 persons | have attended the national derby in the past and indications are this | year than an even larger crowd will | | witness the event. : 'PUBLIC RECEPTION HELD TONIGHT FOR ~ NEW M.
