Leo waa following right behind them. When he arrived, the girl was alive but she didn't live very long. ' "It makes you think when you see one of these," says Leo. Leo, who came from Thed- ford originally, started driving trucks back in 1935. He started with Guenther Transport Co. in 1940 and has been with the firm mos% of the tinie since. ' During the war, he spent three and one-half years in the navy, but he never got aboard ship: He was, a transport driver and drivertinstructor. He calls himself a "tramp" driver. He doesn't have any par- ticular run but takes 'the special trips for the firm. He's been to Quebec numerous times and has travelled to many of the states in U.S He' and his wife ,have three children and they belong to the Lutheran church in Dashwood. If you ever want to help a truck driver, here's a tip. When he •passes you, blink your lights, after his Wailer clears your front end. It's mighty hard to the truck driver to judge, says Leo, You might remember, too, that in a diesel truck, the driver can't' hear your horn. Use your tights instead, One :more thing: Give'the truck driver a break now and then. He'll appreciate it.
