Buses Lead Parade Across New Bridge A chilly grey day with the misty hint of rain in the air, December 4 was the day of dedication of one of the most beautiful bridges in Indi¬ ana. Spanning White River, this bridge, costing thousands of dollars, links Martinsville to busy State Road 67. School children as well as officials were interested in the construc¬ tion of this bridge. Prior to the dedication, school buses carrying chil¬ dren from across the river were forced to travel on an extremely narrow antiquated span. The students with a feeling of personal satis¬ faction at its completion were invited to be the first to officially cross the bridge at the dedication service. Page Fourteen
