The seven-year-old youngster was playing along°
side an irrigation canal in Ahus. The canal xvas: 7
xidened by swift currents follmving a heavy rata
and the dirty, brown water rushed along in raging,
torrents. -.-,,,. ""
Then it happened. The boy fell h.
Bobby Neal and Carl gridrich were on thdr
ay home from work. The two telephone men saw
the boy slip and fall into the swirhng water.
"'We knew the current was wicked and the boy:
Wouldn't last lone if hc went under," recalled Neal.
"We had to do something fast."
€
Running to the canal bank, Neal removed his
belt and gave one end to Fridrich, mean,a:hile
anchoring himself solidly to the bank. Fridrich
moved out into the rushing water, reaching for the
boy with one hand while keeping at firm grip on
the belt.
"l got hold of him and Bobby pulled us over to
the bank," said Fridrich. "The boy had gone under,
,several times and 1 was sure glad to get him out." ,

Fortunately, the youngster hadn't swallowed
enough waler to require artificial respiration, tte
was soon breathing regularly. The •parents latter
wrote the telephone company and said they knew
their son would have drowned if the two men had
.not come to his rescue.
t. Southwestern Bell has awarded both Neal and
Fridrich a Vail Medal, the company's highest award
for acts of heroism.
' We're proud of both men. Their actions in a
time of trouble exemplify the highest ideals of the
spirit of service among telephonc people.
