“QUALITY FIRST”
Top community chosen
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 9, 1976
Little River Academy in Bell
County has been named the state’s
top rural community in competition
in the Texas Community Improve
ment Program.
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.

“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
