  TWIN BROTHERS RETIRED BY VANDERGRIFT FOUNDRY   Twins Roscoe W. and Robert 
  Oscar Beatty, Vandergrift, pushed their cards into the slot of the time clock 
  at Vandergrift plant of United Engineering and Foundry Co. Friday and strolled 
  into retirement.  
       For Robert Oscar, who worked in the company's machine shop for 39 years, 
  retirement will mean relaxation and preparation for his annual jaunts into 
  Pennsylvania's woodlands in search of small and big game during the hunting 
  seasons.
        For Roscoe, who worked as a locomotive craneman at the local plant since 
  1944, retirement will provide the opportunity to pursue his favorite hobby, 
  fixing clocks.
       Both men report success in their hobbies.  Robert Oscar last hunting 
  season killed a 267-pound bear while hunting at Clear Creek Jefferson County, 
  and Roscoe has developed a manual dexterity which enabled him to fix, among 
  other things, 'a complicated German cuckoo clock, which was smashed on 
  shipboard.  It cuckoos, too.'
       Roscoe and Robert Oscar (he insisted we use his second name, 'because 
  everybody knows me by that, rather than Bob') were born April 24, 1900 in 
  Dayton, Pa., sons of Steward (sic) M. and Estella Wilson Beatty.
       Roscoe came to Vandergrift in 1920.  For five years he worked at UEF, 
  then worked in a garage in Avonmore, 'and did other jobs for a couple of 
  years', and then went to Mansfield, Ohio, where he was employed in the 
  assembly shop of Hughes Keenan Co. for 15 years.  He returned to Vandergrift 
  and rejoined UEF.
        He and his wife, the former Blanche Dillinger of Homer City, reside in 
  130 Sumner Ave.  The couple has three daughters:  Mrs. Wayne (Cora) Davis, 
  Mansfield, Ohio; Mrs. Ralph (Gladys) Kuhn, Doylestown, Pa., and Mrs. Mildred 
  Gontner, Vandergrift, and one son,, Roscoe, Jr., stationed with the U.S. Air 
  Force in New Mexico.   Another son, Harry was killed in an auto accident in 
  1949.
  In addition, the couple has six grandchildren, Blanche Elizabeth Davis; Kurt, 
  Kirsten and Karl Kuhn and Melody Gontner.
       Robert Oscar, who came to Vandergrift in 1926, is married to the former 
  Verna Hollenbaugh of Dayton, Pa.
       The couple, which resides in 132 Jefferson Ave., has two children:  
  Eugene Beatty, Vandergrift, and Mrs. Arthur (Evelyn) McBryar, Vandergrift, and 
  two grandchildren:  Mrs. Robert (Donna) Waltenbaugh, Indiana, and William 
  Beatty, attending Indiana State College.
  Roscoe attends Trinity United Presbyterian Church, Vandergrift, and Robert 
  Oscar attends Vandergrift Church of God.
