Keizer Really Hopped Up
About Soap Box Derby
Bmmwm
' By VIC
You kids have heard me tell
before how the whole valley
U backing this Soap Box Der
by, but today I want to tell
you about one small area that
la really backing their kidi
' the Keizer area.
Aa an example of how they
re backing the
boys from that
area, Ken Fos
ter, head of the
sponsors com
mlttee went out
there the other
day and asked
the merchants if they wanted
to sponsor a boy in the Derby.
Ten signed up right then. With
two others already signed up
with boys, that makes 12 spon
sors, more than half of the
businesses there. To top it off,
about four other businesses are
still working on the idea and
may sign up soon.
' And when Chief Inspector
Bill Page asked for inspectors
recently nearly nail of the vol.
unteers were from Keizer. And
those guys are in earnest. This
Saturday afternoon, they are
holding a Derby racer clinic
In the Keizer school gymna
sium for the boys, parents and
sponsors.
They are going to have one
of last year's racers there wnicn
will be partially torn down so
that every part of it will be
easy to get at and discuss. They
will discuss it in detail and
answer any questions by bug
builders.
And Incidentally, they are
not being selfish about It. It's
open to anybody, not Just Keiz
er area boys. If you can get out
there Saturday afternoon at 1
o'clock, be there and you can
learn aplenty about building a
bug.
Carlyle Shidler, Bob Copley
and V. G. Billings wiU be there
as Inspectors to show you how
It's done and answer any ques
tions. Other Inspectors will be
there to help out.
Another thing about that
Keizer area is that about one
third of the boys registered are
from there. That's' right, about
30 of the 90-some boys are
from there. Remember, Doug
and Danny Adams who won the
two divisions last year, are
from Keizer and would like to
keep the trophy out their way.
Speaking of inspectors, Bill
Page has 25 of them lined up
and assigned to areas. They will
contact the boys in their areas
s fast as they can, but if you
re in hurry to see your in-
spector, just call Bill, phone
2-4578, and he will tell you
who the inspector Is so you can
phone him; '
FEYEE
Bil also would like few
more Inspectors, so if your dad,
uncle, cousin, neighbor or any
one else you know would like
to volunteer, just have him
phone Bill for information.
A meeting of inspectors will
be held April 21 at 8 p.m. at
McKay's garage for those in
spectors who missed the last
meeting and for new ones.
Our sponsors committee tells
me that a number of businesses
are sponsoring boys but the
boys haven't signed up at Mc
Kay's yet. If you are one of
those, would you register as
soon as you can, so we will
know how many boys to pre
pare for in the big parade and
race this year?
And remember, it's your
chance to win a free trip to
Akron and chance there at
winning part of that $19,000
in college scholarship prizes.
The big local prizes and the
trip are all free courtesy of

tourist committees.
Salem has already entertain
ed 17 conventions since Jan
uary 1 and at least 16 more are
coming up.
It was brought out at the
meeting that hotels and motels
are sometimes hard pressed to
furiush housing for all dele
gates, not only on convention
dates but at times during the
tourist travel season.
The concensus of the meet
ing was that the Chamber of
Commerce should be the clear
ing house for information to
be given the hotel and motel
managers relative to conven
tion dates, attendance, etc. The
convention will attempt to for
mulate procedure and inform
the chamber as to the kind of
information the managements
need, and it is probable that
one person at the chamber will
be selected to be contacted on
the subject.
Statistics showing the value
of tourist travel to the state
and to communities were dis
tributed at the meeting. These
showed that a survey by the
traffic engineering division of
the State Highway Depart
ment revealed that 1,005,575
cars licensed In other states
brought vacationists to Oregon
In 1952. It is estimated that the
tourists spent 1121,000,000 in
the state.
