Selection For Contest
CN.Z,P-A.-Reuter— Copyright) SYDNEY. May 10
A New Zealander is in Sydney looking for the two fastest shovellers in Australia. He is Mr Peter Brookfield, a representative of an Auckland contracting firm, which plans to stage the first shovellers' world championship at Auckland’s next Easter show. Australia's two best will be invited to compete for poize money expected to total £5OO. The winner will be the first to shovel a ton of blue metal into a hopper. Mr Brookfield said that shovelling contests were staged under different conditions in the two countries. “I am here to look for your two best and also to study the conditions under, which your contests ate held,” he added.
