THE BRIDGE WORKER
To the Editor of the Herald:

The picture of the aerial bridge workers was just to our liking. They are certainly a good-looking bunch of huskies, with strong bodies, strong hearts, level heads and willing hands. It is this type of men that always makes the wheels of commerce move. The Hand of providence has surely been with them in this great undertaking without any mishaps. The contractors and foreman and the men who climb day by day to dizzy heights, these many cold winter days to do the work that has been allotted to them, are to be congratulated on this fine piece of engineering. But wait for the coming summer months when many thousands of tourists will be visiting Duluth and Superior. You will see many of them at the base of this aerial lift bridge, watching the raising and lowering of the bridge to let the many freighters and passenger boats come and go through the ship canal. It will be a sight that they will always remember.
