Nominations open to professional drivers

who deserves special recognition.

The search is on for the trucker who will be named
the 3$th Firestone National Truck Hero,

Nominations are sought for a Canadian profes-
sional truck driver who has performed an act ot
bravery or heroism. The persen on organization that
nominates the winner will receive a $200 cash reward,

This award is endorsed by the Canada Satets
Council, the Traffic Injury Research Foundation and
Firestone.

unselfish acts which frequently avert serious accidents
and save many lives. Chances are a professional
trucker will be the first on the scene during a road
mishap.

of bravery performed by truck drivers.” said F.
