DERBY PLANS
Boys In This Area Are Urged
To Enter Contest SpOn-
sored By Police
FOR STATE RESIDENTS

Boys in the Smyrna-Clayton
area between the ages of eleven
and fifteen years of age, inclusive
are urged to consider entering the
Pushmobile Derby to be sponsored
by the Delaware Association of
Police. The movement here will
be sparked by the Smyrna Police
Department and the Smyrna-Clay-
ton Junior Chamber of Commerce,
who will not only seek to find en-
trants, but also to find sponsors
for interested boys to take care
of the cost of building the small
car required for the derby. In
the early years of the Pushmobile
Derby which is held in Whining
ton, a Smyrna boy was the win
ner, and it is challenge to local
boys to participate. The derby is
strictly boys event, and its aim
is to promote both craftsmanship
and sportsmanship through COM
petition in building and driving
Pushmobile racing cars. The boys
who enter pit their skill in build
ing and driving against that of
other boys. The derby is open
only to residents of Delaware.
The rules require the making and
shaping of the separate parts of
the car, and joining the parts to
form the completed car must be
performed by the entrant. How
ever, entrants may accept limited
help, in putting together complet-
ed parts of the car, aligning
wheels and exels, and in assem-
bling and adjusting steering and
braking systems. Helpers are not
permitted to build an entrants
car, or parts of the car. 1t must
be built by the boy who will drive
it in the race. No car may cost
more than $25 not including the
cost of the wheels and axles, and
entrants are required to submit a
complete itemized list of all ma
terials used in their cars. All cars
must pass inspection by the offic-
ial inspection committee before
they compete. Local boys may
obtain more information from
Martin Golden or John w. Jacobs.

ercises at Cemetery
ELECTION OF OFFICERS

The David C. Harrison Post No.
IA American Legion, held their
usual Memorial Day program with
exercises at Odd Fellows Gene
terry in Smyrna and at the Honor
Roll Board in Townsend. The

by members of the local post un-
der the supervision of Grant G.
Garis, chairman. Prior to the tri-
butte paid of the war dead who
have been buried in this area,
Legionnaires placed an American
Flag at the grave of each deceas-
ed veteran known to them. If,
for any reason, a grave was not
tagged, it was due to no over
sight on the part of the commit
tee, simply lack of accurate know
ledge as to where the veteran in
question had been buried.
