Beautification Expert
Visits lynbrook
Stimulated by Mjjyor Fran-cis

and revitalize Lynbrook's
Commercial district, the Lyn-brook
Chamber of Commerce
invited Dr. Milton S. Osborne,
R.A. Professor Emeritus of
Pennsylvania State University
to survey the potential beauti-fication
of the Atlantic Ave.,
Shopping district.
Dr. Osborne, who is nation-ally
known for his magical face-lifting
projects to some 40 com-munities
over the United States,
spent Thursday and Friday of
this past week surveying Lyn-
Commercial district, meeting
with merchants on their indi-vidual
needs and addressing a
dinner meeting sponsored by the
Lynbrook Chamber of Com-merce
to explore his recom-mendations
for Lynbrook.
The high Ught of Dr. Os-borne's
two day visit was the
dinner meeting of the Chamber
of Commerce Thursday eve-ning
at the Kings Castle Res-taurant
attended by many in-terested
local business men and
merchants. A special guest at
this meeting was Mayor Bec-ker.
The meeting, presided over
by Chamber President, Freder-ick
Danning, included a discus-sion
and slide presentation of
the work Dr. Osborne had done
across the country. It included
scenes displaying the "before
and after" in communities such
as Gettyburg and Holidaysburg,
Pa. Also presented by Dr. Os-b
rne, were photographs and
architectual sketches illustra-ting
the methods he has used
to reface other communities.
At the conclusion of Dr. Os-borne's
