He added, "If these On the road between Penns-ville and Kreidersville, there is a bridge. That's not a surprising fact, to be sure, for Northampton County has many bridges. But not like this one.

In fact, this bridge is the only one of its kind left in the county. And for that reason because it is the only covered wooden bridge left in the countyit has the utmost significance. This particular bridge has spanned the Hokendauqua Creek north of Kreidersville for almost 120 years. The historic and scenic structure has withstood all the forces of nature wind, water, fire.

It can't tell of its own benefits to the community it serves in beauty, historical interest and utility. And until last week, no one else would carry its banner.

But, someone has come to its rescue, and, together with nine other men, is calling upon the people of the county for immediate support. Norman J. Borger of Northampton R. 2 recognized the value of the bridge and has begun a campaign for its preservation.

If the people of the county do rally to the bridge's aid, a sum- Among those recognized was gues that, "for the expense it would cost to tear the bridge down, it could be put back in good shape." Admittedly, the bridge needs repairs, and Borger would like the state to consider fixing up its roof and sides.
