No Such Thing as

| DON'T like that phrase
common people" It's
both stupid and untrue. and
il has wasted and withered
thousands OF lives which
might have been strong and
colorful il they hadn't been
caught in it's trap.
I've spent my life among
those people we call "the COM
mon herd"-obscure, inarticu-
late workers whose drab lives
seem TO have no difference
or distinction.
But I've yet 10 find one
who was really common. one
who didn't possess a distinct
pattern OF his own and a
special power or dream that
set him apart from all other
men and women.
Taken in the mass. we're
all apt 10 behave like sheep.
Follow the same regimented
program.
Talk the same stereotyped
blah.
Adopt the same fads and
prejudices.
But underneath each con-
ventlonal surface, there's a
spirit unlike any other spirit
on earth -. a spirit which
might go on great adventures
If we only had the courage

State Route IO3
To Be Resurfaced

Resurfacing of State Route 103
from the Allen-Hancock County Line
road, east of town, to Arlington will
be started this week as project of
the state highway department.
Possibility that the highway also
will be resurfaced from the Dixie
highway to the County Line road,
within the Bluffton city limits, is
seen by officials here as the result
of a request made by the town.
Street Commissioner Lee Coon was
in Columbus Monday to present the
towns request to the state highway
department. He reported a favor
able reaction altho no promises were
made.
Coon pointed out that during the
detour of Dixie highway traffic over
Route 103 this summer the street
was damaged considerably within the
city limits and that repair work is
badly needed.
Resurfacing of 13 miles of road
way is provided for in the project
between the County Line road and
Arlington. From the Dixie highway
to the County Line is distance of
about one-half mile.
Two carloads of tar-asphalt will
be required for the work, which is
to be done by L. Cossett, Findlay
road contractor. His concern also
will put a new asphalt surface on
Riley street in Bluffton, in connec-
ton with work on the Route 103
