Show Jaycee Make Plans' For Annoa! Teen-age Road-e-o Plans to conduct the third annual an-nual teen-age driving Road-e-o here Saturday, April 23, were made here this week by the Spring Jaycees. ... The Road-e-o will consist of a written examination and a skill test involving driving through prescribed pre-scribed exercises such as parking, smooth stopping and others. The local winner in this national nation-al Jaycee contest will be eligible to compete in the state Road-e-o the first weekend in May in Salt Lake City. State winners compete for $3,000 in scholarships in a national na-tional contest July 25-29 in Washington, Wash-ington, D. C. Kent Palfreyman, Jaycee president, presi-dent, said six sub-committees have been organized under the general chairmanship of Bud Herbert, to carry out the various aspects of the program. "By emphasizing the rules of the road and the skills needed for safe driving, we intend to give local youths a chance to prove that some of America's best drivers are teen-agers," the president pres-ident said. Last year 250,000 teen-agers took part in Teen-age Road-e-o in more than 1000 towns and cities. |
