No sooner did news reach Atlanta that first showing of the picture would be here than her worries began. Every time some local enter priser thinks of a possible way to cash In on the thousands of visitors to Atlanta, he calls her to approve the ideas. But here's the chief bell-ringer, pass hunters! Virtually every resi dent of Georgia has a relative who defended Atlanta against the invad ing union army, and all believe they should see the moving pictures with out cost. Ranking second to the pass seekera is the huge group wanting to know when the premiere will be held, will Clark Gable be here, will Vivien Leigh be present, what stars are coming, and scores of other questions. The premiere Is scheduled to be held late In the fall, but exactly when hasn't been established. As for the pass hunters, It appears that they are out of luck for the time being. Nobody knows where the Annie Oakleys are coming from, and It appears that no one will be In formed until the premiere Is held. Theater owners are getting their share of calls, too.

The project cost approximately $38,500,000, and the government will be reimbursed over a 40-year period by the Imperial irrigation district. The main canal to the Imperial valley la 60 miles long, crossing a desert, and carries a small river of water. It la 332 feet wide at the water surface, and 31 feet deep. capable of carrying more than half the average flow of the Colorado river at Boulder dam. This main canal takes water from the Colorado below Yuma, AHe, The branch to the Coachella valley Is 130 miles long. The Imperial dam built to divert the river is a concret structure more than 3.400 teet long. A large part of the canal was concreted, to prevent washing. In place where the canal parses through sand dunes. no concrete was poured for the sides and bed, but special precautions are being takfn to prevent filling of the channel. The fine sand was dredged, away and coarser material substi tuted. The banks will be protected by vegetation, oil, or through other methods.

For many summers this has been the cry of campers, ranger and other resident of the Sequoia area as they sought deliverance from the con tinued bear-nuisance. For as many summer, the bruins have stolen their midnight snacks regularly by heaving over the large size garbage cans that dot the camps. For even more summers, the smaller cubs have watched with chagrin their larger brethren pick out the "caviar" and leave what is left for the des piped 3-year-olds, unable to turn over a can for themselves. In a determined effort to remedy the situation, the Parks company this summer distributed a good many small-size, patented screw-top cans flour and salt. Add tha egg and milk. Cook in a double boiler until the mixture becomes very thick and creamy. Cool. Add the extracts and spread on top of one of the baked cake layers. When "set" cover with the other layer.
