I WANTED 50 More Members IN THE Commercial Club Everyone interested in Bellevue residents and investors should be vitally interested in the program this organization has undertaken to publicize Bellevue. The best manifestation of that interest is to belong. Dues are $5 per year, but with one-half of the fiscal year now expired, dues are being- pro rated for the other half at $2.50 good to April 1st. During this six month period Bellevue will need more than at any time in its history past or present a united group of citizens willing to take off their coats and go to work.

LIBRARY NOW HOUSED IN NEW QUARTERS The Bellevue Public Library is in its new location in the west end of the building in the park. It is a very 'pleasant room, with the walls painted light buff and the wood work white. Indirect lighting makes it even more cheerful and inviting. Several windows admit ample light during the daytime and also provide ventilation. This is YOUR library and we in vite you to visit it and make use of it. We extend a special invitation to the new people in Bellevue. There is no charge for a card and we have some very late books. Library hours are from 6 to 9 o'clock each Thursday evening. We extend thanks to the school board for use of the room during the summer; to the city council for fix ing up the new room; to the NYA boys and Mr. Bouyer, their super visor, for moving books and equip ment, and to Micky Huntley for fix ing shelves. BELLEVUE LIBRARY BOARD Dr. W. II. Betz, Edwin Puis Joe Larson Mrs. Aimer Stark, Mrs. L. Rickard TO EXTEND WATER MAINS With Bellevue's PWA loan-grant application for rebuilding and en larging the waterworks system still tied up in Washington, it has become necessary to take some steps to pro vide water to homes now under con struction and nearing completion, and the city council Tuesday night voted to accept part of a WPA grant covering labor and some material, in order to get. the necessary service lines and mains laid before the ar rival of cold weather. Plant enlargement and mains othe than those for which there is im mediate and pressing need will re main in the pending application for PWA assistance, set up on a revenue basis. BOMBER TAVERN Rose and Bill Toellner, Props.. Just North of Avery on U. S. Highway 75 Sandwiches and Chicken Dinners Bottle and Draught Beer Rentals to Pay for Equipment on Sewer Job $135 Monthly Allowances for Trucks and Cement Mixer Used on Bellevue Sewer Project In line with the common practice in cities that sponsor WPA projects, Bellevue is taking advantage of the opportunities of rental revenue al lowances to purchase and pay for needed equipment that will remain city property after the job is done and become available to draw fur ther rental revenue for the city on any future project that may be un dertaken. The city has a pick-up truck it has long owned and which is needed for hauling tools, small equipment, etc. The WPA allowance for this type conveyance is $25 per month, applicable on sponsor's share of the cost of the project. In addition, the project requires a heavier dump truck and a cement mixer, monthly rental allowances for which are $50 and $60, respectively. So the city dads decided it would be well to acquire this equipment and let the rental allowances pay for it. The cement mixer was placed in service when the project started and last Thursday the city purchased a Chevrolet l-ton truck withpneu matic dump body. The cab doors are neatly painted with the inscription, "City of Bellevue." The deep digging for the main sewer requires plenty of time with the small starting force, but will be greatly speeded as the number of men is doubled, trebled and quad iupled as the WPA offices advise will be done soon. A supply of sewer connection ap plication blanks is now in the hands of City Engineer John Keller, and ppplications are being received for home and business service connec tions at a $2.00 fee payable at the time of applying. As stated last week, wye connec tion will be provided opposite every lot and building site regardless of whether connection application is on file, but vertical risers will only be provided if application permit has been filed and approved before that point is reached in construction. The $2.00 fee is all any property owner will be required to pay for connecting to the sewer, which is being built as a city-wide project. The connection permit is issued in duplicate with one copy going to the applicant. This contains the regula tions governing the laying of service lines and outlining the precautionary safety measures that are up to the property owner. -. As previously stated, basement depth drainage will be provided in all parts of the city. TWO THINGS RESPONSIBLE There are two things responsible for bringing you this free copy of the Journal with its full page of Bellevue news each week. First Sponsorship by the Com mercial club which provides paid car riers and editors and reporters (who let it be said are giving their ser vices free in the interest of Belle vue's progress) and Second The support of Bellevue advertisers. Without either of these factors it would be impossible to serve you. For that reason, if you want to keep the paper coming, we ask that you patronize our Bellevue advertis ers tell them you read their ad on the Bomber page and hope they will continue it there so Bellevue may continue to have this news medium each week. Incidentally, it would be a fine thing if you would tell the editor and her assistants how much you ap preciate their services rendered with out compensation in gathering and writing the news in such splendid manner each week. LEGION AUXILIARY TO MEET The Legion Auxiliary will meet at the home of Mrs. Rufus Bailey on Tuesday, November 4. Mrs. Ronald Langheine and Mrs. Fred Leise will act as assisting hostesses. WORK CLOTHING Overalls, Jackets and Gloves Good quality Overalls, Unionall3, Carpenters Overalls, Work Gloves of all kinds and Husking Mitts. Bought Seven Months Ago and Priced Accordingly Bellevue Grocery RED O WHITE STORE TO NUMBER HOUSES A system of house numbering for Bellevue was discussed and approved by the city council at its meeting Tuesday night. Numbering will start at-the north end of town, running south, and at the east city limits, running west on the cross streets. Houses along the south or east side of any street will bear odd numbers and those along the north and west Bides will bear even numbers. In residential sections it is likely there will be 24 numbers allocated to a block twelve on each side of the street, odd or even as the case may be. In areas zoned for business, the allocation will be doubled forty eight to the block. This will take care of first and second story desig nations without having to resort to halves. A house facing Main street just south of the 22nd avenue intersec tion wear bear a 2201 Main street designation, while if it were just north of the intersection it would be designated as 2121 Main, allowing the 2123 number for a second story designation. Located directly across the street (facing east) the house north of the intersection would be 2122 (2124 upstairs), and the one facing east south of the intersection would be 2202 (2204 upstairs). Since a two block stretch separates 22nd avenue from 23rd, with the un numbered Mission street between the blocks, properties lying south of Mis sion and on to 23rd avenue, facing the north and south streets will be numbered upwards from 2251. When the east and west designa tions are established, further report will be given, CAUSED MUCH CONGESTION An unauthorized radio announce ment that the bomber plant was completed and Sunday would be open house day, caused plenty of grief for Captain Fleming and his force of guards at the plant as the Omaha cars poured out by the hun dreds, each driver thinking he could get in and much disappointed that he couldn't. The line became so ex tended that it reached nearly back to Avery and some employees on their way to work were held up and delayed in getting into the plant. Mrs. Fleming had invited a group of fellow Woman's Club members to accompany her on a trip through the plant, and when the cars bearing them arrived at the gate the conges tion was at high peak. ' MISSIONARY TEA NOV. 7 There will be a Missionary Tea next Thursday, November 7, at the home of Mrs. L. E. Wilson at Avery Crossing and the Boulevard. Mrs. White, a return missionary and daughter of Rev. Kearns of the Wheeler Memorial church, will be guest speaker. The ladies of Bellevue are invited and any one wishing to go please call Mrs. Edwin Puis or Mrs. W. J. Shallcross not later than Tuesday, so arrangements for transportation can be made. FRIENDLY CIRCLE The Friendly Circle will meet No vember 6 for a 12:30 luncheon at the home of Mrs. F. H. Freeman. Mrs. Roy Kratz, Mrs. Frank Bowen and Mrs. Harry Kinsley will be as sistant hostesses. The devotional will be given by Mrs. Donald Pratber and the lesson, "Tensions which Lead to Broken Homes" will be given by Mrs. Howard Thomas. A0KIYA WOMAN'S CLUB The Aokiya Woman's Club will meet Wednesday evening, Nov. 5, at the home of Mrs. Jessie McRob erts. Miss Marjorie Stouffer will be assistant hostess. There will be a business meeting and reports of the state convention will be given. HOME ON FURLOUGH Robert McCorkindale arrived here Monday from Camp Robinson and is enjoying a two weeks' furlough.

Story of Girls' State Recited by Suzanne Ogurek Bellevue Young Lady Tells Commer cial Club Members of Value She Received from Going A surprise was in store for Com mercial Club members at the month ly meeting Tuesday night, and it is regrettable that a greater number were not present at the meeting. A meeting of the city council took a considerable number of regular at tendants at these meetings away. Miss Suzanne Ogurek, who was Bellevue's representative at Girls' State in Lincoln last June had been invited to tell the members some thing of her impressions of this training course in government, and responded most graciously to the re quest. Speaking informally and sel dom referring to notes, she gave the members present a very fine report on the day-by-day happenings dur ing this week. Girls' State is promoted by the Nebraska Department, American Le gion Auxiliary, and Miss Ogurek was sponsored by the local Auxiliary unit for attendance. Her report showed conclusively that she had derived great benefit from attendance, and was so well rendered that members talked of having her back at a plan ned luncheon meeting of the club to be held some time in November, when a much larger number will be able to hear her. The club has purchased stationery for the secretary, with a map of Ne braska, containing a shaded section to represent the defense zone center ing around the Fort Crook bomber assembly plant. Bellevue is "spotted' on the map with a star in a circle. The wording includes: "Commercial Club, Bellevue, Nebraska" and "Cen ter of Nebraska's No. 1 Defense Zone." The special publicity committee is ready to go ahead with its booklet about Bellevue, a very fine piece of art work and printing according to Randall Biart, who has the arrange ments well completed. Copies of this are to be placed in the hands of Martin company employees in Balti more who are to be sent to the Fort Crook plant, and otherwise used to publicize the town and its advant ages. The club is now in the second half of its fiscal year and announcement is made that prorated cost member ships are available for the balance of the year, at half the full-year price, or $2.50. Everyone who is interested in the progress of Bellevue should be long to and attend regular meetings of the club. Newcomers and those who have procrastinated from join ing before, may do so for the rest of this year for only $2.50. REFRIGERATION SCHOOL The Omaha World-Herald on Oc tober 23 carried the picture of Pri vate Ralph Huntley, son of Mr. and Mrs. Lee Huntley, showing him weighing meat for issue to company mess halls as part "of his course in the refrigeration and cold storage school in the Quartermaster's Re placement Training Center at Fort Warren, Wyoming. The thirteen weeks' course is given the selectees during their basic mili tary training period. Ralph spent last week end at home.

This newspaper has no fault to find with Omaha people employed at the plant giving to the support of their own Community Chest, but to coerce money from residents of Sarpy, Cass and outlying counties employed there who do not live in Omaha and would have to look to the relief agencies of these counties if thrown out of a job, is wholly wrong. Solicitations at the plant have been directed by II. A. Knutzen, project manager, and George Burke, safety engineer. People of Cass and Sarpy county, I support your own relief agencies, for that is exactly where you will have to go for aid. if you are ever in need. Harry Frazier, who protested in a Public Pulse letter in the World Herald advises that since same was published last Wednesday he has re ceived over sixty endorsements of his expressed viewpoints from people re siding in Omaha. PRIZE-WINNING DOG Miss Monzella Havenridge placed first in the handling class for girls under ten at the Omaha dog show last Sunday. She was the favorite at first sight, since she is only seven years old and weighs but 46 pounds, while the pointer she was handling weighs CO pounds. The judge would slyly change the dog's stance, but Monzella caught the change every time and posed the dog correctly at once. Incidentally, the dog, an English pointer named Jakes Jeff, won first place in the novice class for his owner, Walter Havenridge. A large picture of the dog being judged ap peared in Sunday's World-Herald.
