NEWS NOTHING EISE In coming into Bellevue each week the Journal is interested in only one thing and that the giving of unbiased news to its readers. Sensational publicity or the air ing of factional matters is strictly taboo. Law violators when apprehended and duly charged will not be spared, but we can see no good in stirring up things for sensational effect, and will not do so. Metropolitan press may find that their way of conduct ing a newspaper, but not us. There is enough worth-while news to be printed to adequately fill our columns and that is the kind you may expect to read in this paper. ORGANIZE NEWMAN CLUB The Catholic young people of Bellevue organized a Newman Club Tuesday evening at a meeting held at the Earl Rosser home. Officers elected are: Richard Ko pecky, president; Donald Litwin, vice president; Mary Alice Kopecky, sec retary. Since there are no dues, a treasurer is not elected. The purpose of the club is to pro vide clean social entertainment for the young people and the meetings, which will be held twice a month, will open with a short religious ser vice. The Program committee is com posed of Cyrilla Ogurek, Agnes Dul ler and Jack Sullivan. MORE TRAILER FOLK LEAVE The past week has witnessed the exodus of quite a number of trailer house residents of Bellevue. With most of the dirt moving at the bomber plant completed, grading crews are being transferred to other locations. When the bomber plant opens in a few weeks, a new group of people will be knocking at our doors in search of homes in which to live a group of executives and skilled workers who will be earning good salaries and permanently located.

Bought Seven Months Ago and Priced Accordingly Bellevue grocery RED & WHITE STORE Gas Franchise Granted for 25 Year Period No Time Set for Beginning: Service Intentions of Grantee as to That are Uncertain. Special Bellevue Kews Service. Bellevue, through action taken by the city council last Wednesday night, has granted a 23 year fran chise to the Peoples Natural Gas Co., a concern that serves a considerable rumber of towns in this area. As passed, the franchise ordinance does not provide any time limit for establishment of service, which might mean five, ten or even twenty years hence and then continue for the balance of the grant period. Gas company officials, however, advised the council, their intentions are to come in with their pipeline and begin serving the town "just as soon as it appears they can do so profitably." Maximum rates are provided for in the ordinance published in this paper last week. A below-maximum-rates schedule to be placed in effect when service is started was also pub lished last week. Provisions are also made in the ordinance as to the distance service lines will be extended by the com pany for each individual user. Be yond that distance property owners would have to pay the cost of lay ing the line if they want gas. There is a further provision that no exten sion shall be made where it appears likely the amount of gas used would make it unprofitable to do so. We understand the company is now extending its mains eastward from the packing house line to serve the Anderson homes north of Fort Crook. Whether their line into! Eellevue would continue on from that point or be a separate line, we do not know. The franchise is non-exclusive, which means another might be granted at auy time. BOMBER EDITION CARRIERS The hoys who carry your paper each Thursday afternoon are Stan ley Sterba and Howard Thomas as his assistant in the north part of town; Lewis Clark and Wesley Laugel as his assistant in the south part of town.

NYA Resident Center NEWS Sixty-nine more youth took the O'Rourke mechanical aptitude test last week. A total of 1S3 project workers have now taken this test. The average score for project youth is 2 51. It is interesting to note that this is 2SC. higher than the average score of 70.000 workers in trades and industries. In other words, the young men now employed here should bo able to master techniques and skills of modern industry success fully. Results of the test will be used as guides in placing workers in var ious shops and training units. Boys at the NYA Resident Center were much interested in statements made recently in a radio address by Aubrey Williams, National Adminis trator of the NYA. Mr. Williams in his address called attention to the large number of unemployed youth at a time when employment rolls over the nation are at an all-time high. lie said that according to the latest data available, there were in August ,".,"00.000 unemployed work ers in America, of which 2.200. 000 or 12 were youth. This figure is particularly significant because if the unemployment of youth had been in proportion to the unemployment of older workers between 23 and 44. the number of unemployed youth would have been 1,300.000 less than it actually was. Mr. Williams stated that many of these young inexperi enced youth are migrating to defense centers, but that many of them fail to find jobs and are simply strand ed, thus adding new difficulties to an already aggravated youth prob lem, and increasing the strain on the living and health facilities of the defense area. In discussing the part that the NYA is taking in helping America ready itself for defense, Mr. Williams said that in 800 NYA shops and production projects throughout the country youth are learning the pre cise skill which defense industry needs by actually handling the same sort of equipment and using the same mechanical processes that will be re quired of them when they leave NYA to enter defense industry. He men tioned particularly the TO resident centers of which the Bellevue Center is one. These centers provide youth from small towns and farms with shop experience that will help them to secure defense jobs. In concluding. Mr. Williams said he had just returned from a visit to IS states, with two convictions firm-' ly intrenched in his mind. First, that the young people of America are eager to take their part in the de fense program, and second, that the nation is not doing all it can to use the services of these young people. He said: 'Our programs of giving them a chance are working in the riglit ctirecuoii. out me aie ex tensive enough.

We havej the methods, the resources, and the plan. What we need is more deter- mination to stick to it until the job; is done." HOBBY INTERFERED WITH Harry J. Frazier says: "Since that super-devil Hitler has ruined most i all Europe my hobby of correspon- j cience wnn people trie worm over sure has been spoiled." Harry still receives mail from Eng land, Scotland, Australia, New Zeal and and South Africa and says some of these letters are plenty interest ing even though they are opened by various censors. Here's an example of how his cor respondence has been cut. Since 1920 he had been exchanging letters with a French girl, Mille Suzy Camus, whose last letter to him back in the summer of 1940 stated both her father and brother were in the army. A Christmas greeting mailed November 27, was returned to send er, stamped ''Service Suspended." But the funny thing about it was the long time it took. Postmarked back in New York September IS this: year nearly ten months later it arrived in Bellevue last Saturday. It would be most interesting to know where this letter rerosed for such a long time before getting back into the U. S. A. SUCCESSFUL P. T. A. MEETING The .P T. A. meeting Wednesday night was very successful, with 42 persons in attendance. A paper sale is planned and it is hoped everyone will have a nice stack of papers and magazines for the sec ond week in October. Mrs. Roy Kratz is acting as pub licity chairman and Mrs. Yerna Robinson as hospitality chairman.
