PAGE EIGHT ™ Rudy Refurns From Akron ! Derby Races| Alf Soap Box Champ Wants Now Is "To Gef Some Sleep” Rudy Maier, Juneau Soap Box; Derby driver, stepped off the plane at the airport yesterday back from a whirl of banquets, camping, radio programs, publicity stunts and cheering crowds that all made up the National Soap Box Derby meet at Akron, Ohio. “That kid brought more pub liclty for Juneau than a year's combineq etforts of all the clubs in the town working at it hard,’ Ellis Reynolds, Rotary Club mem- ber who accompanied Rudy to Ohio said today. About all the champ wanted to do when he got home yesterday was to go to sleep. It was quite a week for the 13-year-old boy. “The picture-taking started be- fore we even got to Akron,” Rey- nolds said. “United Airlines had a Hne on us all the way across the continent, snapping pictures of Rudy in his parka.” Alaska’s entry into the national meet was the first one to hit Akron. A delegation from the Chevrolet company with a new convertible and motorcycle police escort roared | Rudy and Reynolds into Akron from the airport at 60 miles an hour| with no stops. “They put Rudy on atout four radio programs and he had his pic- ] ture taken about every time hei‘ turned around,” Reynolds said : Ruy's nile green racer with Daily | Alaska Empire printed on each side | clipped down the Derby Downs | course at a fast pace in the first] heat, but was nosed out by ai faster contender. | More than 1,600 persons were at} the big derby banquet which had “the biggest speaker's table in the world.” | Rudy’s brother Frank, 1947 Ju-| neau Derby winner, who has been | angiously awaiting his young brother’s return, was at the air-} port to meet him yesterday. ', The little green racer was shipped | { ( from Akron Ly express. MRS. PAUL LEAVES FOR NEW YORK ON NATIONAL TB WORK Mrs. William L.

Kelez, Supervisor of Fisheries of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Kelez issued the following state- ment: “In accordance with the provi- sions of Section 102.5 of the Laws and Regulations for the Protection of the Commercial Fisheries of Alaska, 1949, announcement is hereby made that Subsection (e) of ! Section 1183, described as the! Western District, Southeast Alaska area, is hereby amended to post- pone the opening date for com- mercial fishing for salmon from 6 a.m., August 22 to 6 am., August 29." Saection 1025 authorizes the FWS director or such other person as designated by the Secretary of the Interior (in this case, the Fisheries’ Supervisor) to extend open and closed seasons when warranted by the intensity, or lack of intensity, of a run. Commenting on the delayed open- ing, Kelez also said: “Intensive aerial and surface stream surveys carried on through-| yond question that the salmon runs in the western section of the West—‘ ern District have failed to materi- alize. “The probable necessity for this action was forecast to representa- tives of the fishing industry more than a week ago and it is expected that little opposition will develop, especially since it is our intention to reduce the additional closed the abundance of salmon in the area before August 20 war- rants such action.” SALMON RECEIVED BY COLD STORAGE, A sccw load of approximately 50,000 trap caught salmon totaling| about 200,000 pounds was brought in last night to the Cold Storage from the Todd Cannery at Todd owned by Nick Bez. Unloading will be completed about midnight. The cannery, located just inside the mouth of Peril Straits, is re- ported to be swamped and to save| the load of salmon, it was brought here for freezing. The load will be canned at a later date. All canneries, it is understood, are swamped. All salmon this yen.rl is being canned on a reciprocal; basis because many canneries are not in operation. The canneriss are canning for the various packers on an exchange whereby they can ‘or each other to save the long rauls to their own plants. 1 CATHOLICS PLAN PICNIC | SUNDAY AT ST.
