THE DAlt.Y ARDMOltEITE, Ardmore, Okla., Sunday. February 15, 1976
LEARN AND LIVE, a safety education program promoted by Trooper Don
Roush, will have a slightly different format next time you see it on tv.
Roush said Southern Vending Co. made and donated buzzer equipped tables
similar to those used on tv quii. programs. The 10-week program is in its
third year and pits area high schools in team competition to test their
knowledge on traffic safety. The program is seen on KXII-TV on Sunday af-
ternoons. Here Roush and Tommy Harris of Southern Vending look over the
new tables.
Hats 0££ to T. R. (Tommy) Harris of Southern Vending Company, Ardmore, Oklahoma, for his
creation of buzzer tables to help the Oklahoma Highway Patrol bring highschool students
a better knowledge and understanding of traffic safety. Let it be known that Tommy Harris
is a native of Ardmore and attended Southeastern as well as Oklahoma State where he earned
hia degree in electrical engineering. He has been active in many civic organizations and,
most especially, in the Oklahoma Society of Coin Automation (OSCA). He hopes for 100%
membership for this statewide coin machine association plus the closest possible coopera-
tion among all members.
Yet, busy as he is with his own Southern Vending Conpany, with the state association,
with so many civic matters as well as Ardmore's Optimistis, Tommy Harris still found the
time to create the above buzzer tables so that the Oklahoma Highway Patrol could help all
highschool students with traffic safety problems. Once more - Hats Of f to Tommy Harris,
Ardmore, Oklahoma, who deserves the industry's highest regards.
