The announcement came from Garland Marshall, community im provement specialist for the Texas Agricultural Extension Service, after a team of judges completed their visit of the four communities that were named finalists three weeks ago. The Austwell Community in Re fugio County came in second in the state judging while Callisburg in Cooke County placed third and Cause in Milam County came in fourth. The state judging team consisted of Extension Service specialists Dr. Ernest Davis, Charles E. Lawrence and Miss Marilyn Haggard. Battalion Classified Call 845-2611 “This year’s competition in the state finals was the best I have seen in my six years as a judge,” said Lawrence, speaking on behalf of the entire judging team. “Overall, these four communities offered the closest competition I can recall. “I was particularly impressed with the total program that each of these four communities have in op eration,” Lawrence continued. “Each showed total involvement of all the people — the young and old alike. This blending of all the people and their working together is a great thing to witness.” The Texas Community Improve ment Program is sponsored by the investor-owned electric utility com panies in the state and is adminis tered by the Extension Service. Cash awards are provided to the top communities at the district, regional and state levels. The state finalists also receive silver trays. The TCIP is designed to give a helping hand to rural communities with a population of 1,000 people or less by assisting them in organizing the community leadership and in utilizing community resources more effectively and efficiently. This year’s program involved 217 com munities representing 83 counties. Driver recovery from road mishaps depends on area next to road When an auto runs off the road- vay what happens depends a great deal upon what the area next to the -oad is like. If it’s fairly flat with no fixed ob jects, the driver is normally safe from injury. However, this is not always the case. The task of sorting out how much space the driver needs to recover after an unscheduled departure from the road, how the ditch shape affects safety and on what degree of slope can the driver still recover steering control, faces three Texas A&M engineers. Principal Investigator Dr. Graeme D. Weaver along with Eugene L. Marquis and Robert M. Olsen, all of Texas A&M’s Texas Transportation Institute, put to gether many of the answers just published by the National Coopera tive Highway Research Program. “Computer simulations and full- scale tests were used to investigate an auto’s behavior at the three criti cal regions of the roadside: the roll over point where the shoulder ex tension meets the front slope; the front slope itself; and the toe-of- the-slope at the bottom of the front slope,” explained Dr. Weaver. The tests were run at speeds up to 80 miles per hour with the auto leaving the road at as much as 25 degrees, with and without driver steering. “Driver steering was used when attempts to return to the road from the front slope were simulated,” Weaver added. “Slopes varying from 3:1 (fairly steep) to 10:1 (almost flat), and four ditch designs were tested. Twenty-four full-scale tests were performed, with the results confirming the findings of the simu lated tests.” The report, compiled by the three men, concludes that success ful return maneuvers are not likely to be achieved at high speeds on slopes steeper than 3:1. Slopes steeper than 3:1 can also be ex pected to cause safety problems in the ditch if the vehicle is not being steered. The researchers also prepared a series of charts to provide a design engineer with an objective basis for ALBERTSONS) 1 CHUCK BONELESS U.S.D.A.
