In National Competition
James Darrin Chason,
sophomore at Hoke County High
School, tied for sixth place in the
Driver Excellence competition in
Chicago, Illinois on May 16. He
was accompanied by his Drivers
Education instructor, Howard

As a finalist, he received a

Operation Driver Excellence was
established by AM VETS, a
200,000 member national veterans
organization, and the Dodge Divi
sion of Chrysler Corporation to
serve as a positive response to the
ever-present problem of traffic ac
cidents and fatalities on America's
roads and highways.

Excellence is to train teenagers
through competition to be this na
tion's superior drivers.
The three-day finals covered
four phases of safe driving. A
comprehensive written exam
Saturday evaluated knowledge of
motoring laws and theory.
The driving portions were super
vised on Sunday by members of
the Illinois State Police. A trooper
accompanied each contestant dur
ing the competition's second
phase, over-the-road driving on
prescribed course.

Graham Finishes
Mechanic Course
Pvt. Tommy A. Graham, son of
Robert L. and Mary G. Jones of
1004 N. Jackson St., Raeford, has
completed a tracked-vehicle
mechanic course at the U.S. Army
Armor School, Fort Knox, Ky.
During the course, students were
trained to repair engines, transmis
sions, and the fuel, electrical and
air hydraulic systems of the
Army's tracked-vehicles. They also
learned to perform recovery opera
tions for abandoned, damaged,
disabled or mired vehicles.
He is a 1963 graduate of Hoke
County High School, Raeford.
Penalty points were assessed ac
cording to how each youngster
handled typical traffic and open
road situations on city streets, ex
pressways and two-lane highways.
Failure to use safety equipment,
such as scat belts, door locks,
brakes and mirrors also cost penal
ty points.
The third phase used a special
closed course set up on a parking
lot at Soldier's Field to measure
the teenagers' ability to handle a
car in routine maneuvers and in
tests such as keeping the wheels on
the passenger side of the car be
tween two paralleled lines of balls
to gauge the driver's depth percep
tion.

1 he final phase simulated traffic
hazards. An emergency stop was
created by firing a chalk pellet
from a device mounted on the
fiont bumper of a test car traveling
a narrow corridor between two
rows of pylons.
The discharge sound signaled
diiveis to apply the brakes. Best
score was for controlled stopping
within the shortest distance with
the fewest pylons disturbed.
An evasive maneuver forced
students to react quickly when
coming to a fork in a pylon-lined
roadway. Overhead traffic lights
signaled a last-second land selec
tion. Disturbed pylons cost penalty
points.
