Experiment On Main
Street Rail Removal

Anticipating a possible re-surfac-
ing of Buttons Main street next
summer, Lee Coon, Bluffton street
commissioner, assisted by municipal
employees, is experimenting in the
removal of the steel rails of the
abandoned Western Ohio Railway
running through the middle of Bluff
tons Main street.
The work is being started on a
section of street located near the
Johnson Filling station on South
Main street. A cut is made on
either side of the rail with pick axes
after which an acetylene torch is
used to cut off the "ball" or top of
the rail.
When cold weather sets in it may
be possible to break off the ball of
the rail due to the brittle qualities
of the metal in cold weather, Coon
pointed out. Thus, it may not be
necessary to completely cut the rail
by using the torch, it was stated.

that, your friend interrupted me with,
He told the wrong person - didn't
he? l think it was horribly ruder'
1t may have been rude. But it was
terribly true. This woman had blind
spot which made it impossible for her
to see that she was traitor to the
man who had made her his conf
dante.
1t is pleasant to cause a sensation
by bit of gossip, and to have people
show intense interest in it as they
always do. 1t fatters our vanity. But
it is concession to a personal weak
ness that amounts to actual dis
honor.
If my friend hands me piece of
jewelry and asks me to keep it for
him, what right have l to pass it on to

confidence. The fact that a person has
a loved one with whom to share all
possessions does not give him a right
to share what is not his own.
How glibly we mention "in strict
confidence" something that has been
conhdentially conveyed to usl And
how many otherwise intelligent peo-
pie there are who simply do not un-
derstand what keeping a confidence
truly keeping it means. Oddly
enough. these are the very people
who are most terribly hurt when they
are accused of indiscretion or of be-
traying friend.
Years ago a woman complained to
me that a well-known writer "a
friend of mine - had spoken rudely
to her.
Il was talking to him." she ex-

had, in burst of confidence, con-
fessed to me that he loved this woman.

my dearest friend? Yet the jewelry
could be returned when demanded
it. The secret, once given away, can
never be returned to the owner. And
when it is passed on to one individual,
what is to prevent its going on to an
other and another in an endless chain?
Each person who repeats it is sure
that the one in whom he confides will
not let it go any further. Yet - he
should judge others by himself.
1t may be that in this present day.

of us tell what we have no right to tell.
If we display our inhibitions by pratt
ting of ourselves and our concerns
it may be in bad taste, but it is our
own business. We have parted with
that which was our own.
But Our friends secret is not ours.
1t has been entrusted to our safe
