And there was the time when dad instructed you, in a somewhat impressive manner, that nails were to be pulled from the boards be- fore using the saw. Gosh, he was mad, but few years from now it'll be remembered with nothing but a chuckle.
 Through toll and hard-spent af- ternoons, the car body was finally finished, fitted with the wheels, and almost ready to roll. You look ed her over and couldn't find a flaw. She was without doubt the fastest racer in town and would walk off hands down, easily, with the big event. But then again, just in case she didn't win the race for some unforeseen reason, you might as well be in the run ming for another of the prizes. Your brakes are good, the steer ing excellent, and the designing perfect but there was one more prize that given for the best upholstered car in the race. Ther. wal no doubt about it, you were after that one too.
 Now there was problem. Just as with the wheels and pieces of lumber, upholstery material costs money and since beginning to build you had learned that it does not grow on trees. Lets see now, last week when you were in the closet looking for your boots, there was some looking cloth on the back shelf" You were right, there was no reason to ask mom about 1t cause it had been there an awfully long time and she would have given it to you anyway.
 So away you went with scissors and cloth to the garage, and after spending the afternoon there while the other kids were fishing you ran into the house to get mother and show her the best upholstered car in the league. '"The whole inside of it's solid blue, mom, and the niftiest job you've ever seen." : She was cooking supper, but without hesitation went with you to the garage to see the best de- signed and upholstered car in the league And it was a good job |. so good that when your mother had taken just one glance she tainted. It's really workman ship when you get results like that. : Well, it wasn't your fault, how were you to know that seemingly useless piece of blue cloth was the family treasure and had been brought to America from the Gold Coast of Africa in the days sf slave ships. Despite the fact that your mother gave you great deal more than the blue cloth before the evening was through, you figured it was worth it. The cockpit in your racer was the best looking of all the cars, and anyway, the treasured cloth looked better in lthe car than in the back of the closet.
 < There it was already about the middle of June when you got word that the first trial runs on the

FRANK MAYER PROVES
 GENUINE CHAMPION

Displaying the spirit of a real champion, Frank Maier, winner of the l947 Soap Box Derby in Ju- neau, has been cooperating with the race directors this year in an attempt to made it the best event of It's knd yet. In addition to ad- vising his younger brother relative to the recommended points of con- strncting a racer, Maier has at tended the meetings this year and lent a hand whenever possible.

boss hands you on Saturday at 5 o'clock and you hand to the gro- cery clerk just seven minutes later. But when you were building that racer and needed twelve one dol lar bills for the wheels, you might well have wished for all the money in the bank.
 But you didn't let that stop you. Merchants and other per- sons in town said they would let you work for the money and you were quick to make bargain Sure, there were afternoons when you would much rather have gone skiing than down to the corner grocer's to sweep up behind the butchers counter. And that dog of Mrs. Murphy's-walking that nut for thirty minutes each after noon for just two-bits was torture in itself gee whiz, he didn't even look like dog. But there were wheels to he had and you knew how to get them Forgetting about skiing for the day and dis regarding that Mrs. Murphy's pooch should be given to the ZOO, before you knew it there stood the derby wheels and all yours. It was tough sledding then but will be source of pleasant laughter in the future.
 On with the building. Now building that cars not so tough, but when a fellow just has six dollars to spend for all the ma- terial involved, it requires much more than just little thought.
 That afternoon you were brows- ing through the garage and spotted the perfect platform for your car, it was great relief. Out came the measuring stick and to work went the saw, and in little more than an hour the racer was taking shape in prize winning form.
 That evening at supper you thought once or twice of mention ing the lucky find, but on think ing it over, you decided it might be just as we'll to forget the whole thing. It had been in the garage for a long time and from all in- dications it wouldn't he missed but then again it might be justas well to forget the whole matter completely.
 Several days later rooI shat tering roaT was heard emitting from the garage. Suspecting it to be a brown bear battling for his life, your mother hurried to the garage and swung open the door. There sitting in the middle of the garage floor was your be- loved father. Half crying and with painful expression com pletely covering his face, he was ieehly pointing to your racer.
 It was sad that night when you come home for supper, and even more painful when learning that that platform in your racer was a treasured piece of birch which father had been saving for seven years. You went back to the gar | age but not to work on your Tracer!

New York Hotels Told
To Refund Rent Rises
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Nov. 20.-A group
of 230 New York hotels have been
ordered to refund to tenants any
rent increases collected since Oc-
tober l.
The order was issued yesterday by
the temporary City Housing Rent
Commission. which was brought
under investigation three days ago
by the city administration.
The commission also rescinded a
directive it issued last month per-
mitting hotels to raise rents up to
II per cent.
Although no Official figures were
available last night, it was reported
that $4,000 to 10000 permanent
hotel tenants had paid the in
creased rentals.
The Hotel Association of New
York City, Inc. called the cancella-
ton of the rent boost permit "emi-
nently unjust"
1t termed the action "the result
of still another organized effort by
minority group Of hotel guests to
keep rates at below cost level in the
