Quick Cop Saves
20 Children From
Runaway Truck
MONTREAL, Uft—A trailer
truck loaded with telephone cable
reels stalled on a hilltop Friday
and burst into flames. The driver
jumped out, and the burning ve
hicle rolled backwards down the
hill—directly toward 20 children
and two nuns standing on a street
corner.
Constable Leo Glaude looked
up from the bottom of the hill
and saw the 10-ton truck rolling
down at 15 mph. “I blew my
whistle,” he said. “I guess that
was instinct. The truck was gath
ering speed. It was hard to tell it
was a truck. It was just a ball of
flame.”
Children Just Stood
The 20 children just stood there.
Then the constable leaped in and
scrambled them out of the way.
A little girl fell over and he
picked her up and carried her.
The children and the nuns were
visiting Montreal for the day
from the Notre Dame De Merci
Convent in Quebec city.
Two explosions shot from the
truck—the first on top of the hill
and the second after the wheels
struck the curb in front of the
Quebec Hydro Building.
Flames cracked windows on the
building’s fourth floor. Firemen
put out the fire in 20 minutes, but
it took another hour to untangle
the traffic jam.

Boy’s Experiment With
Spike and Rock Leaves
Police in the Dark
CHELSEA, Mass., UPi—Frank
Pedzuto is nine and normal and
therefore likes to try experiments.
He had a spike and a rock yes
terday. So, what to do. He started
pounding the spike with the rock
on the wall in the rear of the
police station.
The spike hit a “live” electric
cable. There was an explosion
and a puff of smoke. Frank held
his blackened left hand as the
lights went out in police head
quarters and policemen came run
ning on the double.
They took Frank to the hospi
tal for treatment of superficial
burns. Twenty repairmen were
called to fix the cable and all
power in the stationhouse was out
for three hours.
