By VIC FCTER
Akron, Ohio, is a city that
should probably be renamed
for at least a week out of each
year as Soap Box Derby Town,
for in that week the town is
literally turned over lock,
stock and barrel to the Ail-
American Soap Box Derby
and its sideline features.
C
Industry, civic groups and
the city administration turn
themselves over to putting the
city In the service of some 150
Derby champions from all
over America.
For the boys, probably the
first Initiation of Akron's
pride in being the home of the
Ail-American Soap Box Derby
is being met at the city limits,
depot or airport by a police
escort and Derby convertible
and given a siren-sounding
ride to Derby headquarters at
the Mayflower hotel. . .
There, and all through Ak
ron, they see signs of greeting
and welcome for the champs.
Restaurant tables, store win
dows, taxis and automobiles
bear Derby welcome cards,
emblems and slogans. Wait
ers, bellboys and clerks wear
pins emblazoned with the
message "Welcome Cham
pions." And every boy Is per
sonally greeted everywhere
with "Hiya, Champ."
Not only do city police do
everything in their power to
help the Derbyists, their par
ents and escorts, but the coun
ty sheriffs office and state
police also vie for opportuni
ties to pay homage to the
champs.
Industry commanders and
captains place their names on
a waiting list for an opportu
nity to act as waiters at the
annual Saturday noon lunch
eon at Derbytown for the
boys. Derbytown itself, nor
mally a YMCA camp, is turn
ed over completely to Derby
usage from Thursday morning
through Sunday night and old
er YMCA boys are only too'
happy to be chosen as coun
selors for cabins of Derby
boys.
Young men, too, Join in the j
campaign to make the Derby
the biggest event in the young
champion's life. The Junior
Chamber of Commerce turns
out almost en masse to act as
ushers for various events and
help in other ways. ' Many
young employes of. General
Motors plan their annual va
cations to include Derby week
so that they may drive one of
the 20-some "Courtesy" cars
provided by Chevrolet for the
convenience of champions,
visiting' newsmen and digni
taries. Local industry- particularly
Firestone and B. F. Goodrich
factories also join in the big
event. Goodrich men take
over the service pits at Derby
Downs and work with the boys
to get their bugs into shape
for Sunday's big race. Both
companies honor visiting
newsmen wtih evening dinner
parties and demonstrations of
some of their products. Fire
stone conducts tours of its plan
for newsmen.
Bus companies provide
buses and drivers to transport
Derbyists from Derbytown to
Derby Downs, to town, to a
nearby lake for boating and
swimming and wherever els
there is a call for the cham
pions. They also provide free
transportation for parents.
sponsors and newsmen to the
various places from their
hotels. I
These are a few dt the ex
amples of how Akron turns
itself Into "Soap Box Derby
