Lloyd Victor Bérubé saved the life of a fellow electrician who accidentally made contact with a high voltage power source, on February 12, 1973. Aware of the grave danger to himself of touching the victim, Mr. Bérubé, nevertheless, struck the man a vigorous blow knocking him to the ground. The victim's heart action was arrested by the shock and his rescuer promptly applied massage and artificial respiration until the man was revived and taken away for treatment. In his actions, Mr. Bérubé displayed both courage and resource.
