f W 1 BBy GEORGE B.RUSS OTUITI^ JBiffiiWiWiiW 1 AAiiJMt A BRIDGE BUILDER By GEORGE B. RUSS There was a time when the young men—teenage fellows, living in the North Durham, East End section could boast of having a young adult lead er, "a buddy," a friend, a pal, comrade, a confidant. Even before Scouting was introduced to the youth at Union Baptist Church, Mala chi was popular with the "young sprouts, the choates" in North Durham Bast End section. A small amount of day dreaming will bring to mind late summer evenings when the fellows gathered under a street corner light and sang like bold, devil-may care pirates, this tune: "Come along little chil ren, Come along while the moon is Shining bright, we're going to raise ruckus tonight. My old mistress promised me ■when she died—she's set me free— Boys: Raise ruckus to night! Leader*: She lived so long her head got bald, Boys: Raise ruckus to night! During the late '3os, Scout ing was instituted at Union Baptist Church. Ironically as it may seem, Malachi was not selected to the leadership of Troop 111. Life comes with these little built-in inconsis tensies. Nevertheless, a turn of events during the early '4os left no other alternative. "Mr. Malachi" was elected to serve as Scout Master of TVoop 111. This was not the beginning of Mr. M. C. Fart's dedication to the development of boys. We can say, this'was the first time he was work ing with an organized Coun cil for boys. Many were the time that M. C. marched, with Troop 111, down front, at Union Baptist Church and shouted in a sergeant's vocal tone: "Troop attention! Right face! Left face! Left Turn! Bout face! etc. The congregation found cause to be greatly amused by what they felt were "an tics" of Malachi and his scouts. Not so with M. C., he had a great belief in boys and he had a willingness to invest himself in them. IBs zeal was focused upon one point the boy's happiness through his formative years —"a happy boy is a good boy, a good boy is a good dtizen." M. C.'s dedication to serv ing boys through scouting was not an easy task for him to pursue. Most of the "hinder ing causes" tossed his way are forgivable and we can rest assuredly that they have long since been forgiven. But there were occasions when his efforts were hampered by outright stubborness on the part of adult leaders of the church, this retardation is less easy to forgive than most. All in all, everyone did what they knew to do. Through thick and thin, the boys were always loyal, they held fast to "mistah Hart's" hand. The situation was never, really, first class; but there were times when the effort was actually worth the while and M. C. donned his twist ed smile, squared his should ers and pushed out his chest. Between "Honey," his wifr Mrs: Pauline Hart, and the boys, Troop 111, M. C. weath ered the dilemmas which be set the average leader: he purchased uniforms, paid reg istration fees, paid for cir- It's NO Secret!

To him, this wasn't baying af fection or trying to make a good showing for the record he was building a bridge for boys. Declining health forced M. .C into retirement. He was a pathetic person trying to operate his troop from his "rocking chair," and the ill ness that he had kept under wrappers, eventually, drove him into retirement. Over a period of years Mr. Hart was the recipient of many awards: 20 Red, Yellow and Blue Ribbons from Expo sitions and Scout O* Ramas; a Baden Powell Leadership Award; a Round Table At tendance Oord, containing 10 colored beads. These memen toes keep alive this Bridge- Builder's hope for all boys. The pastor, Dr. Grady D. Davis, officer's and members, Institutional Representative, Committeemen and parents; staged a special service for the "gr'and ole scouter" at which time he was awarded a bronze plaque on an Oak Leaf: "For. distinguished serv ice for &5 years in scouting and 22 years as Scout Master of Troop 111, at Union Bap tist Church—June 20th, 1965." Mr. M. C. Hart's dhuiteh extends over a long period of years, as far back as 1919 he was teacher of the Metoka Bible Class. In 1920, he was appointed to the Trustee Board (the youngest man to serve on this Board at ÜBCL Most of his church activi ties are traced to the Sunday School where he served as assistant director and teach er for male classes—lnterme diate Boys; and, the Senior Udier Board. The latter awarded him a bronze plaque —an honorary award for out standing services, And, he has served with the Union Baptist Chorus since its in ception. As we talked, Mr. Hart's eyes became misty with tears. "BRuss, I think often of the poem I have recited over the years Building for Youth: An old man traveling along the highway, Came at evening time, cold and gray, To a chasm vast, deep and wide, Through which there flowed a sullen tide; The old man crossed to the twilight dim And turned when safe on the othef side, And built a bridge to span the tide. "Old man," said a fellow pil grim nearby, "You are wasting strength building here, Your journey will end with the evening tide." The builder lifted his old head, 'ln the path," He said, "there followeth after today, a youth Whose feet must come this way—the chiasm which Has been so naughty to me, to him a pit fall may be, He too must atoss in the twi light dim, good friend, I'm building the bridge for him."
