awards wore presented to all

Kathy and Jim were honor
guests at the Chamber of Com
merce mooting Monday at the
Wagon Wheel Cafe, along with
Hollomon who is secretary
of the Morrow county Jayooos.
Hollomon explained that the

project, is sponsored to give the

prove his driving ability and im
prove driving habits, knowledge
and attitudes. It is also design
ed to stimulate the interests of
the community in the value of
high school driver education
courses.
To enter, the contestant must
tie between 16 and 19 years of
age, unmarried, and must not
have boon found guilty of a
moving traffic violation within
six months prior to the national
finals.
At the national event, $14,000
in scholarships will bo award
ed, and each of the first six con
testants will got the use of a

Hollomon said that the tests
at the state finals were very
difficult. The Heppner competit

day in order to leave at 5 a.m.,
and both, being members of the
Heppner Henchmen, had plaved
for a dance until 1 a.m. "the
same morning.
At the Chamber meeting
Kathy described the day's
events, told of the banquet, and
described some of the compet
ition. Jim told of the skills contests,
particularly one that involved
driving the car through a course
marked by paper cups, then
back through the same course.
Object was to avoid hitting the
cups. The driver couldn't look
out the window in going ahead
but could look out in backing
up. He also told of going
through a course marked by
poles, that required sharp turns.
None in the competition mi.,sed
all the poles.
Jim commended Kathy for her
