Safety Award—From The Heart
A little boy, intent on play, darts from roadside shrub-bery
into the path of a huge truck. The truck driver hauls
his big rig to a halt—in time.
The driver wipes cold perspiration from his brow and
gives unspoken thanks that he saw the boy in time to avert
a tragedy, and that the mechanics who keep his truck run-ning
also keep it running safely.
Because of this teamwork by drivers and the truck
maintenance crew of the Hershey Chocolate Corporation a
little boy is alive and well today.
This story unfolded recently when the Corporation re-ceived
a letter from the boy's grateful mother, Mrs. Donald
D. Lehman, Carlisle Route 4. She wrote:
"Hershey Chocolate Corporation, Dear Sirs:
"I feel I owe a thank-you and an apology to one of your
milk tank drivers for my three-year-old son and myself. My
son darted in front of his truck along Route 641. Because
he was watching his business and traveling at a sensible rate
of speed, he avoided hitting him. I don't know his name, but
I am deeply grateful to him. Would you please see he gets
to read this?
"Sincerely yours,
"Mrs. Donald D. Lehman, Carlisle R. D. 4."
After checking, Chocolate Corporation officials found
the driver mentioned by the thankful mother was Russell
"Whitey" Hetrick, and her message was delivered to him.
How many other times similar performances of skilled
driving have saved life, health and property is impossible
to estimate. For the Hershey drivers, safety is a way of life.
They have developed it as a habit.
The team of drivers and maintenance crew has won
numerous state and national safety awards. One of the most
meaningful is the letter of gratitude from a little boy's
mother.
