THE OSHAWA TIM@S, Wednesday, June 2, 1965 BSC GRAD Robert J. O'Donnell, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. M, O'Donnell of 334 Ritson rd. n., graduated May 31 from McMaster University with a B.Sc. He is a graduate of St. Gregory's Separate School and OCVI. AN OLD BROOME: SWEEPS CLEAN LONDON (AP)--The inhabi- tants of one of Britain's best- kept villages protested Mon- day against plans to replace street cleaner Wilf Broome with a mechanical broom. "No mechanical broom, or sweeper, or whatever they call it can ever replace Wilf Broome," said James Mere- dith, vice-chairman of the parish council of Beckbury. "Mr. Broome's done a tre- mendous job for 19 years and we don't want some mechan- | RARARARARRRARARARARRARARARARRRARRARARRR ess {ean contraption to replace him. For one thing, it | couldn't." Working by hand, Broome has kept the streets of Beck- bury so spick and span that it has won four first prizes as the best-ekpt village in Shrop- shire. In addition to winning the | four first prizes, Beckbury has been second or third on five other occasions during the nine years the contest has been held. The question of replacing Broome has arisen because the 65-year-old sweeper re- tires on pension next Satur- day At a weekend meeting, memers of the parish council were told that the county council plans .to replace Broome with a mechanical sweeper. Said Council Chatr- man Edward Truss: "No mechanical sweeper | ean look after our village like Mr. Broome. A machine may be all right for open stretches of a road, but not for a vil- lage. We are going to protest to the county council in the strongest possible terms." He and the other members want a man of Broome's abil- ity to succeed him Told of the county's action, | Broome said "It's very nice to know that I'm thought so much of. The parish council is right about one thing. No machine can do the job as well as man. I use brooms, a shovel, a scythe and a scoop and no machine can do that." Dinosaur 'Built' K By Father, Son > TORONTO (CP) -- The Tor- onto parks and recreation de-| partment has employed a uni-| que father and son team to pro-| vide dinosaurs for various city parks. Parents needn't be alarmed--all the dinosaurs are concrete models and most are confirmed plant eaters, William Kanerva, 82, and his son Bill have been sculpting} dinosaurs since 1926, when Mr.| Kanerva saw the movie Lost World. They built the 59 differ- ent models at the Calgary Zoo-! logical Society's Dinosaur Park.| Dinosaurs in the Toronto area @re supplied by the younger Kanerva who receives expert advice from authorities at the Royal Ontario Museum Accuracy is important in the sculptures and all the models are hollow. The dinosaurs begin as a wire framework and con- crete is moulded over the frame. After the concrete hard-} ens, the 6,000-pound sculptures' are brush painted ARAARRARARRARRRRRR K NEWS IN BRIEF i CLEANER WATER NEEDED) CORNWALL, Ont.
