Brid4es Fall Down'
Says School Supporter
January 5, 1956
To The Utter, to
Exeter Ontario;
I think the enclosed article,
which appeared in Reader's Di-
gest a year ago, shoyld be of in-
terest to resident's of McGillivray
who are interested :in the school
question. It was written by
Dorothy C. ;Fisher,
"i.et The Bridge" Fall Down
High school graduation in cur
Vermont town is. :a.
big event,
Everyone attends andthe :ritual
never varies,
The :tall boys and
girt
s, solemn in
their
gowns, is, march slowly down the
aisle while the school band plays
--rather loudly for indoors, The
program begins— the glee club,
the valedictorian, the "speaker
of theday", the .awarding of
scholarships, Singing again—the
n a ti on al anthem, Everybody
stands up. The decisive moment
has passed,
Before our oyes they have
turned the corner. The big boys
and girls begin to file out.—they
become part of our future. The
Woman next to you is. crying,
The roan on the other side stares
straight ahead.. •
Perhaps he is thinking of an-
other gathering of citizens years
ago, when the seed for tonight's
celebration was planted. Per-
haps he remeihbers every de-
tail of that crucial town meeting.
The group was divided then,
as all human groups are and
always will be. This was no
academic discussion on the ab-
stract proposition, "Resolved that
every child has the right of four
years schooling beyond the
eighth grade." This • was a fight
over action to be taken now.
One group of voters believed
the town could never raise the
money for the building and up-
keep of a school. Against the
need for a school, they listed
our community's needs. The hill
roads should be resurfaced. Care
for the sick and poor was more
costly every year. But, above
all, the bridges.
In a mountain town, bridges
have an imperious priority. Our
bridges needed reinforcement not
only from recurring high water
but against the great tonnage of
modern traffic. It would take all
our resources to keep the bridges
in repair. TO add to that the
enormous cost of a new school—
insane!
The tangible needs of the body
and the impalpable needs of mind
and spirit stood up to'see which
was the stronger. The material
needs outshouted the ideal. They
sounded real and actual. The
little flickering flame of re-
sponsibility for thefuture of the
town's children died down to a
faint glimmer. Those who' had
, longed and worked for the school
sat silent, disconcerted by the
predicted crash in g o f the
bridges, loud in their ears. What
could be said against that?
Then, up sprang Patrick Thom-
son—only one generation away
from those who came "steerage"
from famine -ravaged Ireland to
find a new life in Vermont. He
had worked his way up to part-
nership in one of our two
grocery stores. We usually saw
him in a white apron, standing
behind. the counter, selling sugar
and tea. We have never forgotten
arid we never will let our
•children forget how he looked
that day his powerful shoulders
square, .his hands clenched. We
still remember hiss words, in-
tense • as the flame of a blow.
torch:
"We are being told that our
town council cannot afford • to
keep its bridges Safe and also
provide for its •children.
"That's . what we are being
told. Not one of us here really
believes it. We just . can't think
what, to say back. But suppose
It were true—:then I say, if we
have to choose, 'Let the bridges
fall down.'
"What kind of a town would
we rather have, 50 years from
now—a
—a placewhere nitwit folks
bo bacand orth over good
ridges? Or a town which gives
its children a fair chance, a
town with educated people cap-
able of holding their own in
modern life? You know which of
these two is really wanted by
everyone of us here. I say, 'Let
the bridges fall down.'
He took his seat in silence.
It was the turning point ' in
the life of . our town. We knew
it was. So we spoke riot a word.,
We sat silent, thinking. Present-
ly the moderator said in the tra-
ditional phrase, "Any further
disctissin?"
'..t The silence was unbroken.
Then "Forward your. ballots"
In a silent line the grave -faced
voters moved slowly towards the
ballot box, each hand holding a
white paper.

Gentlemen:
May 1 ' offer my congratula-
tions on the exceedingly effec-
tive and artistic job you did
with the front page of your
Christmas number. Frankly, I
am wondering. how you did it;
I know that our plant couldn't,
and 1 ani quite sure that it
would keep a lot of metropoli-
tan dailies hustling to produce
anything nearly as good.
Nice going!
Compliments of the season to
you all.

are back and hope to be with you

We have rather a. lotto report
,on so we'd better ot started.
Firstly., we have the same three
leaders as last ,year,. Nal Hooke,
Ralph Sweitzer and your writer,
Terry Lawrence.
Jim Tomlinson has been pro-
moted to troop' leader and our
patrol leaders. this year are Doug
Jermyn, Eagle Patrol; Vernon.
Heywood Cougar Patrol; and
Tom Arthur, Beaver Patrol.
Our.enrolment at present is 20
boys, with promise of about :six
Cubs to come
up beforeg
too long,
So you can see' that Scouting in-
terest is fairly high ,among the
boys of Exeter.
Our summer activities the past
year included a weekend camp
on which we took five boys, who
incidentally didn't like getting up
in the morning (neither did Scout-
er Ralph), This camp was a joint
affair with Clinton RCAF troop,
Skipper, as your writer is called
in the troop, .attended an exten-
sive eight-day Scout. Leaders'
Course at Blue Springs, Ont.,
completing part two of the three-
part Wood Badge. Later in the
fall, we three leaders attended a
campers' course held in three lec
ture sessions and one weekend
outdoor ,application test. We all.
passed and had a wonderful time. •
We started up this year's activi-
ties just after school began by
reorganizing last year's patrol. A
few fellows dropped out for va-
rious reasons, •we were sorry to
ace thein leave us and we hope
they wilt stilt 'inatntaial en aettve
interest in the group activities,. in
October we had an .evenifig of out,
door games followed by a bean
teed on, Warren Sanders farm,
which was 'enjoyed by all,
A .out the wine UAW", we
launched our big fund raising
project, the sate of Christmas

ing .and we now have enough

ment so badly needed by the.

ning with the showing of a film
on the Niagara World Jamboree
of 1955, and' by serving cocoa and
do -nuts. You know we're still re-
ceiving acknowledgements :of an
evening very much enjoyed.
