P. Gormley, of the Chevrolet Motor Division, General Motors Sales Corporation, sponso:s of the race at Akron, Ohio. Jerry's letter from Mr. Gormlay, is as follows: Detroit, Michigan, December 15, 1941. Dear Champion: Because of con- ditions now prevailing, it has been decided to suspend the Soap Box Derby for 1942, We will review the matter again in the fall of 1942, and, if conditions at that time war- rant, we will, with your coopera- tion, resume this great boys' ac- tivity. We regret, like everyone the necessity for this decision we are sure that the reasons perfectly obvious to you—first, jemergency at hand will require l.hel energies of every one of us to bring it to a successful conclusion: second, the inability of the wheel manufacturers to secure the need-! ed materials to complete the wheel | sets, these metals being required elsewhere; third, the need for con- serving the rubber supply. It is our sincere hope that we can gount on your wholehearted assistance and support with the re- sumption of the program at a later date, because of its fine contribu- tion to the youth of America. Sincerely yours, ‘J. P.
