When you enter the Soap Box Derby contest, you offer to pit your skill in bullding and driving against that of other boys. Theréfore, sportsmanship, or fair play, requires that your car shall represent only your own skill as its designer and builder, ‘just as, when it comes Lo the race, your performance will represent only vour own skill as a driver. These rules are designed to insure an equal opportun- ity to ali entrants and thus further the spirt of fair play | among the boys of ‘America. Therefore, follow the Of- ficial Rules to the letter; and, as a true sportsman, enjoy the thrill of pitting your individual ability against the | best that the fieldhas to offer.

U. S. Public Debt America’s public debt of $63,196,- ‘000 000 on June 30, 1940 represents | {the sum of widely different debts— | | Federal, State, and local.

Relative debt trends from 1902 to 1940 are portrayed in the accompanying | chart for the three governmental levels, Federal, State and local. In years othr than during periods af- fected by wars and depressions, State and local government debt as- sumes a more important role in the total public debt structure. In 1932, before the depression and the Fed- leral-aid policy had seriously affect- ed State and local government debt, local obligations were nearly 43 per cent and State obligations were 7.4 per cent of the total government debt, D.AR.
