Boy Hero Saves Five Children From Train Tracks
In Stanley Wisconsin last October a 13 year old crossing guard Jimmy Hunt sprinted 20 feet to reach five frightened children on railroad tracks. He grabbed one child with each hand and then two more, pulling them to safety as a train passed inches away. He later received a gold medal life saving award from Vice President Nixon at a Washington ceremony with 28 000 other school safety patrol members and five other youngsters also honored for brave acts.
