The picture waa taken' ai they, marched Into the auditorium. Here's the Kind of Guy You Like to Write About By VICFBTEB aria You know, lellowt, It takes 'all types of people to make the world. There's a few who think that kids shouldn't make noise, shouldn't ride bikes, shouldn't do this and shouldn't do that. And then there are those who think that kids should 'have all the fun they can and are willing to chip in and help out t so that they can 'have that fun. That's the kind that is chipping in to help with the Derby for you kids and that's the kind I like to write about here in the Derby news. For Instance, there was a fellow the other day who was in Salem Steel and Supply store where Hugh Adams, our Derby director for towns out side of Salem, was ordering some Derby supplies. Hugh was talking about the Derby while this fellow and his little boy, about 4 years old, listened in. When Hugh finished, the fellow asked some more ques tions. "What is this Derby and what is it all about? Who is it for? What does it cost?" So Hugh explained that it was a race put on by hundreds of people in this area for any boy between 11 and IS who was ambitious enough to build his own bug. The guy listened and then turned to Lee Fallin, the store manager and said: "Put those supplies on my bill." "Wait minute," said Hugh as the fellow walked out, "What's your name." ' 'Never mind." said the guy. "Just use that to help the kids have a good Derby. Now, that's the kind of guy 1 like to write about and the kind of guy we like to have working on the Derby. Hugh asked the storekeeper the fellow's name and found out that he is Tom Shipler of 1460 Elm stret So, you kids know one of the men who are Detains on the Derby. But he's not the only one, there are hundreds of others. Like the 40 or 50 men on Derby committees getting everything arranged for the big race, the i 20-some inspectors who help you see that your bug is built right, the 250 sponsors who buy the wheels for you and watch to see that you bujld vnur bus to be a winner. And then there is the Junior Chamber of Commerce, me Optimist club and the Veterans of Foreign Wars who are pro viding workers on committees and plenty of men at the parade and at the track on Derby day to see that It is run off right. Even other kids get into the act like the DeMolay boys, the Sea Scouts, and the Rainbow Girls who are going to help in selling ice cream, hot dogs and a. Mn at the Derby, along ...hk nMcr stouds like the vrw Auxiliary, the Opti-Mrs., the YMCA. the Naval Air Re- nri more Jaycees. And we can't forget people like Sidney and Al Stevens, the toilers, who nave agrcm buy a banquet dinner for every ished the Derby office space on North High street, Salem Tent and Awning company which is furnishing canvas at cost for street . banners, and United Growers, Vista Variety store and VJita Grocery, who are buying that canvas for the Derby banners; the sign paint ers who are donating their time to paint tne signs xor tne ueroy: and Hrubetz and Bushnell's steel fabricating plant where they made up those special steering wheels for you at cost Many others have chipped in to help like the Salem Boat House, where they got that special cable for you; Mac Ewan's Photo shop, where you can get your picture taken free; Capital Business College, which is typing and duplicating letters and other items to help out the men working on the Derby; and the Toy and Hobby shop, which is stocking steeling wheels and other special Derby supplies for you. There are so many of them that there are probably a few we missed mentioning but we hope not. There will be others that we will mention later. So you see, kids, the Derby isn't Just a race where a couple hundred kids get out and race their bugs one Sunday each year but it is the end result of a heck of a lot of work by hundreds of kids and even more parents, friends, mer chants, workers, farmers, poli ticians, and Just about any type of person you can name who have all chipped in to make Salem's Soap Box Derby the biggest truly amateur , sporting event in all of Oregon. Now here are some more of the more than 250 boys who have signed up to race in that big race. Class B Larry Rothweiler. 1205 S. 15th street, sponsored by .
