a very hazardous school crossing zone; and

act of heroism and with quickness of thought and reflexes, literally
snatch two boys from in front of a speeding automobile, thereby
averting a certain tragedy; and
WHEREAS, Mr. Barnes reacted swiftly, heroically and decisively
to save the lives of David Shoemaker and Don Swenson, who were on
their way home from Wasatch School; and
WHEREAS, Salt Lake City and its residents owe Mr. Barnes a debt
of gratitude for his devoted service and for his willingness to
place his own life in danger to protect the children for whom he is
responsible at the crosswalks in the school zone.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS OF
SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH, that it does hereby express to Mr. Bernard Barnes
its sincere and deep appreciation for his faithful and heroic service
