Derby officials and the advisory
committee to be held at the YMCA.
Official Derby helmets and arm
bands will be issued at the meet
ing and full attendance Of person

While the parade committee first
considered the possibility of having
the boys entered in the Derby
march in a body in the parade, due
to sponsorship request, each boy
will ride on the truck with his
racer.

fine response from firms who are
sponsoring boys in the Derby and

trucks will be made available to
carry all of the b%oy-built racers
