We reserve the right to delete any material which we con­ sider libelous or in objec- tional taste.) "Editor: "I am a 14-year-old girl from McHenry East campus. When I read in the Country edition of the Crystal Lake Herald that the old bridge over the Fox river was going to be torn down, I couldn't believe it. That bridge has served its purpose for over 95 years. I'll admit it does need a little filling in and smoothing out, but all in all it is a charming old structure. "Every time someone rides over it, just for a few seconds, it is like living in the 1800's. 1976 is America's. Bicentennial when everyone remembers the his­ tory of America. The bridge is a kind of historical landmark in McHenry, marking what McHenry was like. After all, the new bridge shows the progress McHenry has made in the last few years with its modern cement design. "I feel we should keep the old bridge and" just fix it up. I'm sure McHenry county needs help in other areas of road construction rather than a new bridge. Hopefully other people feel the same way as I do and will express their thoughts openly.
