Though some of you people have shown signs of awakening, there are many still snoring loudly here in Bellevue. Perhaps these various quotations from letters to me will serve as alarm clocks: I'lHIM mi.i.hoium:, isthi.iv 11 itler won't win!

Our sleepy indifference is costing us considerable each day. We are not so secure we can lay down on the job hoping some one else will take care of things. France was taken over because of just such faults! If you cannot take part in the activities at least cease trying to throw stumbling blocks ahead of those pushing forward. HARRY J. FRAZIKR. MONEY IN OLD PAPERS The P. T. A. paper sale was a real j success, thanks to the co-operation of the entire community. Close to j $ Kl.tio was realized. j Mrs. Clark extends thanks to the! boys who helped so willingly, to the j teachers for their co-operation and! to Mr. Bouyer of the XYA, who provided trucks for hauling the paper to Omaha..

Sarpy County Charities Worthy of First Attention Eellevue Citizen Protests '"Invasion" of Bomber Plant to Solicit for the Community Chest A Bellevue citizen who is employ ed in Omaha and, as he says, must donate his share toward the Omaha Community Chest, calls our atten tion to the announcement that the Community Chest solicitors are soon to "invade" the Martin bombing plane assembly plant to collect do nations towards the needs of Omaha, and asks: "Why should Omaha be allowed to go beyond the city limits of Omaha to collect charitable donations that will be used wholly for the people of Omaha?" Continuing, he says: "Those of us from Sarpy county who work in Omaha must donate our share toward the Chest . . . and we pre not complaining about that. "However, when Omaha comes out to Sarpy county to collect. It is going much too far! Since many Omaha people work out at Fort Crook, isn't it fair to expect them to donate to ward our Sarpy county needs the same as we are asked to do in Om aha rather than make all their con tributions to Omaha's needs? It isn't an Omaha pay roll they are living on! "We. here in Sarpy county must take care of our own charitable enses without any help from Omaha. We want only a fair deal. So, Omaha Community Chest, stay on your own side of the fence." Perhaps our big town neghbors, after singling Sarpy county folks out to be one of them insofar as parking restrictions are concerned, feel that the annexation is complete enough to warrant coming into Sarpy county in quest of donations. We think the expression of our Bellevue citizen is timely and well put. Sarpy county will probably never put pressure on to collect donations from Omahans working in the coun ty to caiy on its charitable work as Omaha does with Sarpy county folks employed there, and 'certainly has every right to expect and demand that Omaha cease from invading this territory in quest of funds. ( Omahans working at the plant can easily be contacted in their homes, EAGLE Mr. and Mrs. Harold Scattergotxl ot Osceola, Iowa, visited relatives both here and at Palmyra the latter part of last week.

IMPORTANCE OF VACCINATION The Cass-Sarpy Health Center is planning a vaccination and immuni zation campaign for school children and children of pre-school age thru out the two counties.
