"Marking Wilbert 'Wibb' Orr's 30 years of safe school bus driving, a celebration was held at Parkview Transit recently. In photo above, Mr. Orr (wearing the hat) stands in front of his first school bus in 1947. Sharp-eyed readers will also spot Jim Thompson, formerly with the Bradford police department. At right, Wib tries out a reclining chair which was given to him by fellow drivers, as his wife, Jean, and Ted and Doug Brown of Parkview Transit look on. Wibb also received an engraved gold watch from Ted and Doug."
"Bradford Police Constables Bruce Davis, left, and Spencer Moore, right, look on as the moving crew takes a safety deposit box unit into the new Bank of Commerce building. The securities were moved Friday night from seven to after midnight. Four members of the six man town police force were on hand to guard the money. One man had to spend the night at the bank because the alarm system was not hooked up in time."
"Bradford Police Constable Henry Bell, and sewage treatment plant employees Sandy Pearson and Lloyd Seed received marble desk sets from CNR Toronto Area Manager Bob Doty last week. The men were presented with gifts for their attempts to stop a CNR freight train before it was derailed during a freak storm two months ago. Mr. Doty thanked the men on behalf of the CNR and added that although the train did not stop, it did slow enough to prevent a more serious crash."
