Certi= ce will x 127, a DALLAS, PENNSYLVANIA Dedication Of Twin Covered Bridges Sunday Within Hour Drive Of Dallas Twin covered bridges, the only pair in the United States, will be the. focus for sightseers Sunday afternoon at 2:30, when a newly established recreation area will be dedicated at Forks, in Columbia County, a few miles east of Benton. The bridges, historic examples of a fast vanishing Early American scene, have been painstakingly re- novated, their former sturdiness re- stored, and new roofs constructed. Pennsylvania once had over 400 covered ‘bridges. They have mostly been replaced by steel or concrete structures as modern traffic proved too much for the plank-paved original bridges. Nostalgic calen- dar publishers immortalize them, along with the village smithy and | in an arc toward the Old Swimming | Hole. Preserved for posterity are the twin covered bridges at Forks, spanning the shallow stream, and now flanked by a charming park | with a view of Huntington Moun- tain, a perfect recreation spot. Instrumental in preserving the historic bridges, along with Colum- bia County supervisors, is the The-= odore Burr Covered Bridge Society of | Pennsylvania, which will be represented on Sunday by Mrs. Vera H. Wagner of Harrisburg. Principal speaker will be Dr. Syl- vester K. Stevens of Harrisburg, executive director of Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission. Harold A.
