Jim New, an Assistant Scoutmaster with Troop 30, in the Southwest District, was given this award because he saved the life of one of his fellow employees at MAPCO Petroleum. On February 16, of this 22 year old Roy Young began to gag and grasp for breath in the off ice of MAPCO Petroleum. A secretary, who was aware of Jim's First Ai d and CPR skills, called him in for help . When Jim arrived Roy was still choking. Jim then proceeded to use the Heimlich maneuver to dislodge any obstruction to the young man's throat. After several attempts, Roy stopped breathing, at that point Jim gave the finger sweep and started mouth-tomouth recessitation. Soon the young man started breathing normally on his own and rega ined his color . A few minutes later Howard Bicknell, the Safety Director arrived, but by that time Jim had everything under control. They treated hjm for shock and waited for the Paraiaedics to arrive . If i t had not ~een for Jim New's knowledge of First Aid and CPR, Roy Young might not be alive today. In a letter to the Chickasaw Council Mr. Roy Young expressed his gratitude by saying , "if it had not been for the unselfish act of Mr . New, a life might h a ve been lost . . . " He later added, " . .. I feel with deep humility and honor, that Mr. New deserves all the honor that is bestowed upon him, for the scriptures tell us that "Greater Love Have No Man Than This, That a Man Lay Down His Life For a Friend . " The Chickasaw Council, Southwest District, and Troop 30, takes great pride in joining the National Court of Honor, Boy Scouts of Amerjca, in recognizing Jim in this lifesaving "good deed" of kindness . It is through the training of Scouting, t hat such heroic deeds can be committed. Congratulation Jim. LARRY RAINES ELEC'l'ED SECTION CHIEF Eagle Scout Larry Raines, Our 1988 O . A.
