Thirteen other Bell telephone en-
Iloyes in the South have been award
ed similar citations and the Vail
medal for unselfish deeds, courage and
1esourcefulness in saving life, pro-
tecting property, restoring service and
for other conspicuous acts beyond the
scope of their regular duties, but Mr..
Hyde was the only one who lost his
life in the performance of his duty.
To be awarded the Vail medal is one
of the highest honors which a Bell
telephone employe can win. The fund
for this purpose and the pian under
which the awards were made was pro-
vided in memory of the late Theo-
dore N. Vail as token Of his affection
and admiration for Bell employees and
his interest in preserving the fine
traditions of the Bell System.
The citation awarded Joel Hobson
Hyde at Charleston, S. c., which will
be presented to his parents, reads as
follows:
Citation: For courageous and re-
sourceful conduct exemplifying devo-
ton to duty under conditions of ex-
treme and manifest peril, where his
effort involved the restoration of an
important public service, and resulted
in the loss of his life.
