“Orphans enter “SOAP Box” Derby!”
This newspaper article gives all the information about the boys and their work to enter the “Soap Box” Derby! It sure is good that a real interest was taken in the boys – at “German St. Vincent’s Orphan Home” – I know that my brothers were included in this activity – really gave them a “hands-on” – as to what you can do in “LIFE” when you receive inspiration from men in the Community – the men who are interested in young boys getting a good chance to learn a few new skills and hopefully make something of their selves.
Once again – my Thanks for all the boys who benefited from this happy activity while at St. Vincent’s – and found that all the help received was something to remember for all of their life – also – a very special Thanks to all the participating “Chevrolet Companies,” who so generously gave financial and personal support and all those men who “volunteered ” and had a real hands-on with the boys in the actual building of the “SOAP-BOX” – I just feel that this was a terrific venture for all!
