JIM HAYDEN, who drives a Oaf 3300 ark for J. and C. Finney, of Tyidea*, Manchester, can never have imagined that he would one day become a kind of folk hero, Him routine trip from Manchester to Aberdeen with 140 drums and 08 barrels of oil Ind return with 20 tons of potatoes from Brechin is the subject of a book, The Lorry Driver, by Anne Stewart In HamIsh Hamilton's Cherrystones children's series about people's Jobs.
The price of £3.80 for 24 pages tends to put my teeth on edge, but Chris Fairclough's coloured photographs are
excellent and the text is simple without being patronising. One of its virtues is its background information about the loads carried.
The Hawk's prize of a clip round the ear will be awarded to the first child who asks how the foreman at Aberdeen checked the barrels and drums before Jim had unfixed the lorry sheets. And any precocious brat who asks whether a lorry driver should spend the evening playing pool In a pub instead of at the YMCA will experience the Hawk's slipper, complete with foot.
