Trucking teacher Buzz Little admits to getting a bit nervous when
he lets his students take the wheel of this 18-wheeler at Lamar
University’s Truck Driving School.
“Most of these students did a lot better than I expected,” he said.
Despite that observation, Laws didn’t stand in the truck’s path when
students were pulling the truck up to park it.
“I stand on the side, ” he said. “I’m not crazy. ”
By CAROL RUST
Beaumont Enterprise
BEAUMONT—Charles Laws teaches with a truck instead of a textbook.
It’s more effective, he says.
Between the hiss of an 18-wheeler’s air brakes and the rumbling of its
monstrous diesel engine, his students say they’re glad he taught the fleet
safety course the way he did.
“I thought he was kidding when he said we’d have to drive this thing,”
said Pam Vickers, an employee at a savings and loan whose petite stature
defied climbing up the five feet to the seat of the truck — in a skirt and
heels, no less — to sit behind a steering wheel with the circumference of a
standard barrel bottom.
Laws tells his group of students — which includes mothers and house-
wives, a Jefferson County juvenile probation officer, secretaries, sales-
men and a mother-and-daughter team, both of whom are refinery workers
—the way things are done in the trucking industry.
After their first “road test,” conducted in the Montagne Center parking
lot at Lamar University, Laws reminded his students that most of the
trucks they would be driving, should they choose that profession, would be
dealing with fast traffic coming up from feeder roads onto the interstate
instead of the bright orange plastic cones students tried so hard to dodge as
they zigzagged the truck around—or over—during their driving test.
The 15 students, most of whom attend Lamar part-time and hold full-
time jobs, are going through a two-year program called Occupational
Safety and Health Managament. The course is a requirement in the OSHA
program that deals with safety in all modes of transportation, including
rail, shipping and trucking.
But if students thought they were getting into some dry course that
involved taking copious notes and reading chapter after boring chapter on
transportation, they were in for a surprise.
“In fact, I apologized to them the other night that they’d hardly even
opened their textbooks,” Laws says.
Inside the truck, Buzz Little, a regular instructor at Lamar’s truck-
driving school, tried to give the students helpful tips like how to keep from
breaking their hand when the steering wheel snaps back to its original
position after being steered in a particular direction, how to double clutch
when shifting gears, and above all, how to avoid hitting their instructor.
“It’s real interesting — I love it,” Little says. “If it weren’t for the
trucking industry, you couldn’t afford to buy a loaf of bread.
“But you can’t help but get a little nervous,” he added as an after-
thought. “These people have never been behind the wheel of a truck
before.”
Laws said he had his students drive the truck just so they could ap- I
preciate what truck drivers go through, and it’s had the intended effect.
“I really do drive different around trucks since I drove one myself, ” says
Jan McCown, an industrial hygienist technician for Texaco Chemical. “I
used to whip around them on the highway, and now I give them all the room
they want.”
And the thing that impressed most students was how tiny they felt behind
the wheel and how little visibility the driver has looking past the front end.
“I don’t see how they can possibly see to park that thing,” said one
student after stopping the truck more than three feet from the curb,
thinking she was parking right next to it.
Laws stood, dwarfed by the size of the truck, and measured how close —
or far—students parked the truck from the designated curb.

(APLaserphoto) ■ Soroptimist Friendship House:
By EVELYN YEATTS
County Extension Agent
After a full day of playtime, diaper changes, snacks and lunches for
several pre-schoolers, most women who provide home day care are
ready to relax and watch television.
County Extension Agent Evelyn Yeatts has a suggestion on what to
watch. It’s a four-part home video series on “Your Family Day Care
Home,” which along with a 300-page child-care manuel forms a com-
plete learning package for day care workers.
Most child care providers have lots of experience raising their own
children and caring for others. This program, which has been tested
with more than 500 day care workers in 29 Texas counties, can give new
ideas and more in-depth knowledge.
Quality day care is important for the healthy development and hap-
piness of children. It also is an important business. Without the day care
services available, many families would loose their second income. It
also is an important business for those providing the day care service.
The home study program is available through the Cooke County
Extension Serivice. It includes information about child development
and guidance, nutrition, health and safety, and business management.
It covers topics ranging from discipline problems to setting up nutri-
tious and cost-effective menus and how to keep business and tax re-
cords.
Continuing Education Units will be available for those who complete
the home study course.
Interested participants should call Evelyn Yeatts at the Cooke
County Extension Office (668-5412) for more information or to have a
registration folder mailed.

family of nine children and three
orphans in Prairie Point, where he
was a farmer and owner of a cotton
gin. Numerous descendants still
reside in the Rosston-Prairie Point
area. The reunion originated more

gathered each summer at Green’s
