Heerin, General Agent ) TOO CLOSE TOO OFTEN—Says Bernard Burnstine, 10, as he points to July 13 on the calendar. "For the third consecutive’ year Bernard will just squeeze in under the Soap Box Derby minimum age limit, which this year was raised from 10 to 11 years. He'll just make it by celebrating his 1ith birthday anni- versary in June, a few days before Derby Day on July 183. Derby Enfrant Feels That Father Time Is Chasing Him Boy Will Be Youngest Contestant in Race For Third Year Bernard Burnstine feels like he is being chased—with the hot breath of a calendar blowing on his neck. It's all because of the Soap Box Derby minimum age limit. For the third consecutive year Bernard comes pretty close to being the youngest entrant in the coaster race for boys. After school yesterday, at his home at 639 Pranklin street NE., Bernard stopped working on his 1940 model Derby racer long enough to say he was glad his birthday is in June. Bernard just skinned under the Derby age minimum in 1938, when raised to 10 years, and Bernard just made it again. “I thought I'd be all right in 1940 and wouldn't have to worry,” Ber- nard said. Age Limit Again Raised. But in 1040 the rules again were changed in the interest of safety which, he says, makes it “too close too times.” many His situation, however, is better than a numbet of other boys, whose birthdays come on the wrong side of July 13—1940 Derby Day.

But for the third year Eddie was disappointed. He won't be 11 until October 13—three months too late. He already had started his racer at his home at 930 North Danville street, Arllington, Va., but now hell have to wait for another year. Derby Director Zeb T. Hamilton meanwhile reminded Derby en- thusiasts to get their rule books early so their cars would conform to the 1940 regulations. “The Star and the American Le- gion,” he said, “are going to spon- sor a quiz program based on the official 1940 rules. Every boy who enters the Derby will be eligible to compete in th quiz, which will be broadchst this month. Set of Wheels First Prize. “First prize in the quiz ram will be a $6 set of ofictal Soap Box Derby wheels and axles, and cash prizes of $4, $2 and $1 will go t second, third and fourth place winners,” Mr. Hamilton said.

At the elimination six or eight boys who know the rules best and can think fastest on their feet will be chosen to appear on the actual radio broad- cast over Station WMAL. Carl Cederstrand, jr., will tell how he built his 1939 championship racer tomorrow afternoon in a radio broadcast over Station WMAL. Carl will be interviewed by Bill Coyle, radio director of The Star, and is going to be prepared to give tips on all. the construction details which he found to be important. * Carl's racer was one of the 9 or 10 best cars at the Akron (Ohio) finals last year.
