SEWER   PROJECT   APPROV-JX

for the expenditure of 8808,468.71.
Tbe borough will supply $25,548.71
for material equipment, whilh tiie
federal outlay will amount to $367,-
920 used for labor. This is according to word given out Wednesday
morning.   .
The sewer project has been under
discussion' among our citizens and
the members of the town council for
the past several months, ever since

would be available for the undertaking. The Bellwood authorities
have preliminaries well In hand-, a
swrvtey of the town halving been:
made a year or two ago, and the
plans have met with the federal' W
PA. Now that the borough has met
all requirements aind the project
having been approved!, the presumption is reasonable that work on the
sewer may start within, a few weeks.

Vienmiese gayety and music, whim-

.Met-rto
:yef"s new JornT"
romance coming Fri. & Sat. to the!
Stete Theatre, Bellwood sad in
which William Powell is introduced
in an irttirely i*|eiw type of role.
The picture has ma'ny interesting
surprises. It brings to the screen the
goldien voice of Enrico Caruso, am-
pQiijied from' existing rjacords into
the most lifelike replica possible of
his actual voice, for a great opera
sequence.
It introduces to the American screen as Powell's leading lady Louise
Rairter, Viennese stage star, acclaimed in the Old World as a great
dramatic actress andl owner of "Bu- ■
rope's Most Beautiful Eyea"
It marks the debut of Walter Jur-
mann ami Bronsilav Kaper, , composer of the European song hits of
Jlain Kiepura, as composers for the
American   screen.
The new picture, directed by Robert Z. Leonard, is a unique blend
ofwhimsical humor with romance
and a thread of serious drama, with
unique dramatic twists embellished
by amazing new tricks of photography-
Its cast includes Frank Morgan,
Virginia Bruce, Mady Christians,
Laura Hope Crews, Reginald Owen,
Hertry Travers, Mathilde Comotnt
and others of note. A great Vienna
state ball, a lilting evening in a
Viennesse music hall( and a Caruso
premiere at the Imperial opera, are
among its spectacular, musical highlights.
A doctor's racte to save a man's
life is drama contrasted to a hilarious comedy of errors surroundftng
the mysterious model of a picturq
that arouses suspicion of a jealous
husband, as the action shifts from
drama to laughter in lightning-likel
plot action.

Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Gregory of
South First street announce the marriage of their daughter, Sara Gregory, to James Fletcher "T^irnier. The

Through    Ball's    Gap
Nearly Completed
The stalte highway through Bell's
gap extending for a length of about
six miles, •northwest of tbje borough,
which hss been under construction
since early last spring, is now almost completed, but a few days
work remain. The contractors was
the N. B. Putman Co., at Fort Wayne, Ind., and during thje winter
months machinery waa brought to
Itjhe location and the job wsa opened jup, althoi^ghj active operations
were not 'begun Until during the
spring and summer months, whe*n a
largte force of men were engaged
and the work pushed sttiadily toward completion.
The improved highway is afl-
mtost six milee in lenlth and joins the
cicbcrete highway qonatructed' in*
Cambria county a number of yeare
ago st the county line spring. The
highway in Blair county is constructed of waiter bound maciadam
and is a fine piece of noadi building.
This project hss been under consideration for a number of years
and after detjermined action on the
part of local motorists aind truckers,
it was finally accepted as one* of Hhe
highwys of the state that would be
improved daring the year 1935. It
was ths last sad only connecting
link in this part to receive attention
from   the stalte   authorities.
This highway connects with routs
No. 220, the main artery through
Logan Valley, at Beech grove intersection, east of Bellwood and runs
through the borough and up Bell's
gap to Cambria county, where * 'ther
routes lead to points north. The
-completion of the highway will
prove1 a very valuable adljundt to all
motorists, and more especially truckers who acts engaged in hauling coal
from the mines in Caimbria and
Clearfield counties to local points

and as it passes up Bell's gap the
aiitoiats who aire out ffor pleasure
obtain a beautiful mountain view.
While the route has not been lof-
ficially thrown open to traffic, yet
hundreds of local motorists who
were aware that the highway could
be traversed were out in thje great
open Sunday and mlade the first
trip to the crest of thie mountain.
During the building of the route
during the summer months it was
necessary to detour through Tipton gap, which added many miles in
reaching the coal mies and towns in
Cambria and Clearfield counties.
When the road has been officially
thrown open for traffic it will no
doubt prove to be very populr with
the motoring public. Now that an
imprloived highway has Ibeen con/
pleted thruogh the gap therje isgen-
eral satisfaction in the immediate
community.
