RICHARD WRITES:
Dear Citizen Staff:
I know you're real busy so this

ed by 600 miles of desert on all
sides. It is about the Site of Hills-
boro. The whole town is brand
new All nice brick buildings. ;
I live in a tent. Barracks are
being built and we will move in
May 15 We are getting a dust
storm now. I start work Monday
in an air conditioned building.
Drove the Ford 60 most of the
way. It sure did run good I
think I Will like It here fine ex-

ard is the son of Mr and Mrs.
T. R. Stafford. Route 2. He for-
merly worked by the Waco Citi-
zen.
When I think of them I always
think of the poem of the Bridge
Builder, and I quoted it;
“An old man, going a lone high-
way,
Came at evening, old and gray,
‘Old man,’ said a fellow pilgrim
near,
You are wasting your strength
with building here;
You never again will pass this
way —
You’ve crossed the chasm deep
and wide; 7
Why build this bridge at

5 of the most Important

school teacher is one of the
greatest assets of any community
It therefore behooves uk to give
proper recognition and righest
estimate of appreciation to those
persons who have given many
years of their lives to the teach-

The builder lifted his old gray
head;
‘Good friend, in the path I have
come,'
He said, ‘there follows after me
today:
A youth whose feet must pass
this way;
This chasm that

To that fair-haired youth may a
pitfall be;
He, too. must cross in the twi-

Certainly the retired school
teachers were builders of bridges.
They built bridges of knowledge
across the chasm of ignorance.
They built bridges of light across
the chasm of darkness. They are
among the greatest bridge build-
ers of all time.
I do not wish to be presumpt-
uous, but I should like to sug-
gest that the civic organizations
of Waco get together and...se.t a
day as appreciation day for th<*
retired school teachers of our city,
having the teachers as guests of
the occasion. It would be a most
fitting tribute to a most wonder
ful group of our citizens.
