FIRST COMMERCIAL
 LOAD OF CEMENT IS
 BARGED TO JUNEAU

The first commercial load of Permanente Cement has arrived in Juneau and was being unloaded from the power barge Midas at the foot of Gold Creek.
 The Midas, owned and explained by J. V. Cole, will make regular trips to Seattle to pick up cement for the recently appointed Juneau distributor, the Lemon Creek Sand and Gravel Go. Bill Manthey, Lemon Creek manager, said that by use of the Midas, considerable money can be saved in transporta- ton costs.

 GUIDANCE 10
 DERBY BOYS
By GILBERT KLECAN 1946 All-American Soap Box Der by Winner, Representing the San Diego Daily Journal

I've been asked many times since winning the Soap Box Derby nation al championship, sponsored by the Chevrolet Motor Division at Akron, Ohio, last year, what one piece of advice I would give boys who will he trying to win in 1947.
 Above everything else, I'd say: Start building your car early, so you'll have plenty of time to experi- ment."
 I almost didn't win in San Diego in the local Soap Box Derby spon- sored by the San Diego Daily Jour nal last year, because I didn't start building soon enough.
 I had all the wood and tools l needed, but I just didn't get to work as fast as I should have. As a result, I had to work on the car until ? am. on the third night be- fore the San Diego race, until 2 am. the second night before the race, and all night the night before the race. Even then l didn't know

Street" Mr.. Collins writes with
considerable force and distinction,
but the story he tells is certainly too
slight to warrant 637 pages. More
over, besides being urreasonably
verboSe-perhaps twice as long as
it should be in an age when there
is much too much to read anyhow
it has the irritating and occasionally
bewildering habit of shifting atten-
ton far too fast, chapter by chap
ter, from one character to another.
Although certain English review
ers have likened it to Dickens
best, it is anything but that; one
can take it or leave it, without gain
ing or losing either way.
But the same thing may be said
of ever so many other books, and
it would be unfair to Mr.. Collins not
to describe this one as above aver
age in it's class. Although he should
be held to account for letting it run
too long and cluttering it up with
a person like Mr.. Puddy, he is a
seasoned novelist and he has filled
it with the kind of ingredients that
are likely to make it popular. In
deed, if we'll directed and well cast,
"Dulcimer Street" might readily
make a successful movie-a kind Of
doWn-at-the heels Mrs. Miniver"
or citified variant of "The Green
Years" That is to say, it has some
nice sentimentality in it, a delicious
mixture of laughter and tears, and
not a few individuals who could be
done very we'll by in Hollywood.

Camilla Lejonstedt, American
born wife of a country squire in
Sweden and wed as well to a round
Of ancestry-conscious rela tives,
visits a cousin, Fern, who married
into Hungarian family of little
nobility and less obligation. This
leads to a travelogue, triangles, and
an outcome which surprised the
restless heroine more than the

At "a, Camilla wonders whether

holiday to Hungary. It's tossup

several lively chapters with three
men. Ferns twin brother Carr Is
more than a favorite cousin. At the
feudal estate in Hungary there also
is Imry Baroz to complicate Camil-
las situation, if not her conscience.
On side trip to Milan she revives
