Teenage Road-e-o
Set For April IL;
Entry Deadline
Monday, April 6

With the deadline for enter
ing the Teenage Road-e-o set at
Monday, April 6, the Smyrna
Clayton Junior Chamber of
Commerce urges youthful driv-
ers to get their entry forms for
one of the community's most
stimulating teenage activities
which will be held on April IL.
The rewards, not only in money,
but in self-satisfaction, hold the
key to a safe driving future.
Jaycee officials for the Road-e-o
feel that again this year Smyr-
na-Clayton has the potential of
having another state winner,
such as William Pritchard, Jr.,
who captured the $500 scholar
ship two years ago, plus an ex-
pense-paid trip to Washington,
D. C. to compete in the national
contest. Brooks Banta, local
Road-e-o chairman, emphasizes
that girls also may enter the
contest. Entry forms may be OBJ
tanned at Wootten's, Vance
Coles, and The Treble Clef, in
Smyrna, and at Jim Clark's
Soda Shop, Clayton, Road-e-o is
an event that can capture the
imagination of the entire CON-
munity since everyone favors
programs to improve driving
safety. Road-e-o provides the
opportunity for the teenager to
demonstrate his acquired skill
while showing the responsible
citizens of the community the
need for driver education. Over
one and half million teenagers
have participated since the in
ception of the program eight
years ago, and scholarships tot
aling $4,500 can be earned by
boys and girls as well as a trip
to Washington, D. c. Bob Cox,
national Jaycee president, has
expressed the hope that this
year 100000 youngsters will
participate. Last year, there
were $4,000. National spon.
sors include Liberty Mutual In
surance Company, A m rica n

Chrysler Corporation, and the
Pure Oil Company, who contrf
butte heavily to the Road-e-o.
