Despite Diane1s
Destructive Gift
Although the county roads are far from being “back to par,” they have been built up well enough for the school buses to make their • rounds, with only an occasional detour.
Several bridges are still out, including the one on 614, behind Bee Miller’s and another, on 600, near the old Charlie Coates place, about 11/2 miles from Old Hollow Church.
State road forcemen are still working long hours, slowly but competently continuing the long* job of rebuilding.
