Dollars Flow
To Big Family
Of Hero Driver

SANTA BARBARA. Calf,
June IS (P).-Six weeks ago
the brakes on Russell c. Moore's
truck failed at the top Of a
grade in this seaside city.
He could have jumped. But
Instead he stuck with it, shep-
herding the runaway through
eight street crossings. Almost
miraculously, he avoided pedes-
TRANS and autos. The truck
crashed into a creek. Mr..
Moore was killed.
Mr.. Moore, 81, left a wife and
four children. A fifth is on the
way. And the people of Santa
Barbara, touched by his bravery
and the family's bereavement,
refused to let the story end.
The News-Press' account of
the tragedy started a spon-
taneous flow of dollars that
continues to this day and as
sures aid for the Moore family
The total is nearing $4,000.
