Charles Phillip Reeves, 17, a laborer, became trapped in side the head house which rose an additional 50 feet above the top of the elevator. An Army helocopter was brought into play in an effort to get the youth down safely. Donald Ethington, 28, a powerline foreman, arrived on the scene and volunteered to attempt the rescue. As the whirlybird hovered danger ously over the burning grain elevator, Ethington was low ered 90 feet by cable to the side window of the house. He managed to reach the badly burned Reeves and loop a rope around the victim s body. Both were hauled free of the burning structure. Up on reaching the ground, Reeves was taken to a hos pital where he died of burns 16 days later.

Wharton, 22, was making her rounds in a local hospital. When she checked the room of Lewis D. Blaich Sr., 71, she discovered the pa tient was not in bed and that a window of the room was open. Mrs. Wharton looked out the window and saw Blaich standing on a 42-inch wide ledge about 00 feet from ground level. Under heavy sedation, the man apparently had become confused and crawled out onto the ledge. The nurse lowered herself onto the ledge and inched along more than 100 feet until she reached Blaich; talking to him all the time so as to not excite him. With the help of other hospital personnel, Blaich was pulled back through another window to safety.
