Burnett, proved to be the king of Louisville's safety-conscious juvenile bicycle riders Sunday afternoon when he captured the grant prize from 350 boys and girls in a contest designed to promote traffic safety observance, held at Iroquois Park by the Bicycle Safety League in co-operation with the police traffic education department. Twenty-seven participants were tested in events that tested the safety knowledge and maneuver ability of the riders as well as the fitness of their mounts. The contestants were survivors of a preliminary test which consisted of a written "true or false" examination on traffic regulations in which 350 boys and girls engaged.

For his achievement he won a $50 racing model bicycle, presented by Max Lipski, 2038 Eastern Parkway.
