Richardson Receives McCarter Medal for Gas Crew Heroism
Raymond C. Richardson, a Cities Service Co. pipeline crew supervisor, earned the American Gas Association's McCarter Medal for saving C. E. Whan's life near Leavenworth on February 19 during sub-zero weather. Whan had stopped breathing after gas exposure while fixing a Kansas Power and Light Co. pipeline. Richardson performed mouth to mouth resuscitation. The award, established in 1924, honors gas industry members who save lives by approved artificial respiration methods.
