PAGF EIGHT ROTARY-EMPIRE SIGN FOR 1950 SOAP BOX DERBY Chevrolel's—BiE Derby for Boys Gets Started by Juneau Sponsors Remember Soap Box Derby Day July? d The Da Rc y Clus pire have ted toward the Soap Box Derby Finals to be August 13, 1650 Dr. William P olds and Mayor contracts ticipation of a Juneau- entrant in the big race The Empire and n acknowledged by Myron tt, general manager of Chev- All-American Soap Box neau ; Alaska plans movin 1 on Derby. Probably everyone in Juneau knows about the Derby, Chevrolet’s contribution to America’s youth program. Certainly everyone back in Akron on Derby Day knows about Juneau, according to Dr. Blanton, the Mayor and Ellis Reynolds. “The Totem Pole that was Ju- neau’s gift to the Derby race course, our boys back there in parkas, the thousands of people wanting to know about Alaska—all have gwcnl Alaska’s entrant more publicity than any other,” according to Rey- rolds who accompanied Rudy Maier, 1949 winner, to Akron last summer. “Rudy was on the radio half dozen times. News stories featured him as Juneau’s winner. It is hard to believe until one has been back there just how big a play Juneau is given by the Chevrolet people who put on the race. It is a national évent of top importance among kids and Akron and Chevrolet give it top publicity.” To which Dr, Blanton and Mayor Hendrickson who have toth been Derby winner chaperones agree.
