Lineman Volunteers
The helicopter rescue took
place July 19, 1960 in Browns
field, Tex., when a 100-foot
grain elevator caught fire fol
lowingan explosion of grain
dust inside the storage area.
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.
Nurse Saves Patient
The Carnegie commission
recognized Ethington's brav
ery by presenting him a
bronze medal.
In Tuscaloosa, Ala., On the
night of April 22, I960, nurse
Shirley C. 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.
A 16 - year old schoolboy
from Hamlet, N.C., became a
medal winner for saving the
lives of two soldiers whose
automobile had become stall
ed on railroad tracks as a
freight train approached..
G. Edwin Richardson no
ticed the soldiers' plight and
deliberately rammed his car
into the stalled vehicle, push
ing it off the tracks. The
young motorist then flipped
his car into reverse and jump
ed clear. The car backed off
the tracks just as the train
roared over the crossing.
Three Gave Lives
The posthumous awards
went to the families of Joseph
P. Simon, 13, of Ithaca, N.Y.;
