I _' | OMAHA URBAN LEAGUE MOVES TO NEW LOCATION The Omaha Urban League, an agency of the Community Chest, do ing social and industrial welfare work among Negroes, has moved to its new headquarters, 2010 North Twenty-fourth street. The new head quarters have been remodeled, with private offices and additional tele phone service to meet the needs of the extensive program in community! welfare the League is launching. According to the executive secretary, J. Harvey Kerns, the essentials found in any up to date social service agency will be found in the new headquarters. The free employment department is enlarging its services and contacts are being made each day with lead ■ ing industries in behalf of Negro labor. Not only is the League send ing out men and women on jobs, but systematic efforts will be made to impart to employers and employes their mutual obligations. The em ployment department not only wel comes men and women seeking em ployment, but will be interested in having any industrial problem they may occasion on the job brought to I You’ll Save \ | 20% to 50% | > DURING OUR £ J . ^ ^ August | 1 Furniture Sale j < WWWWJVWW/AVWW/WAVAVAV.VAV.V.V I' ji UNION Outfitting =; \ company i ;; . e. con, tea a jackson srs: ■: <~X~X"X~X*<“X"X“X**X“X~X~X~X“X“X*‘X**X“X**X~X'<"X“X~X*-X**X~X 4 I I LEE VON HOTEL f y 2212 Seward Street X Y Strictly Modern and Up-to-Date First-Class Service X ROOMS BY DAY OR WEEK S X Remodelled and Under New Management Phone WEbster 3016 £ | | j «X*<X*<~X~X,,X*,X“X”X~X**X*,X,,X*,X"X"X*'X,*X*,X-,X,*X"X~X,*X**X~X,*X' » its attention for assistance in adjust ment. The program in co-operation and cn-ordination is well under way. A number of th° social and private agencies are « , tiling themselves of this service, and others have express ed their willingness to co-operate. The League, through its research and investigation department, will not only compile for public informa tion data on various phases of Negro life, but offers its services to organi zations interested in gaining definite information before launching their program. The program in race relations has as its purpose the imparting to white and colored groups such information on the trends, progress and accom plishments of Negroes, which will lead to more sympathetic attitudes, tolerance and good will. Members of the newly formed speakers’ bureau will be sent to any group, however small, to give lectures, addresses, or engage in round table discussions on any program where intelligence, guidance and counsel is sought in forming better race relations. The Urban League Auxiliary, the big brother and big sister department co-operating with the juvenile court and public schools, and the health and housing committee are groups in the formation, which when completed, cover some of the activities upon which the League will concentrate for the first year. The League will lend its every ef fort in the assistance of any commun ity or group project. Miss Ruth Seay, a recent graduate of the Uni versity of Omaha, is the able assist ant and in charge of the industrial placements. The League is a mem ber of the Council of Social Agencies, and has a board of directors, com posed of out-standing colored and white citizens, who have caught the vision of social work and who are working along sane and scientific lines in community welfare.

We have heretofore, £ £ no doubt, witnessed this day of celebration J ■I in Omaha, but never before have we had it £ £ in this wise. £ £ There is a big effort being made by the £ £ Committee to reach every organized group £ £ of race people in and around Omaha, in £ £ order that they may share in, or have a £ £ chance to share in this affair. We are hop- j: £ ing to have every church group, every fra- ■: £ ternal society and the business and profes- £ £ sional men to participate in this celebration. £ jj We have heard from many sources, much £ i criticism about a date for this celebration. ■" £ To that we have only this to say: In the ■: £ Slave States, the dates differ; in Nebraska, jj £ there is no fixed date for this occasion, for «: £ this was not a slave state. So, we use a date £ £ on which we can secure a place that fur- £ £ nishes such recreation and amusements as ;j £ this day calls for, hence, the day and place £ £ this year is £ £ September 11th, at Krug Park! £ i £ £ Another objection has been that it has j; £ been a single-handed effort. That objection ■: £ this year is removed by reason of the fact :» i that all groups are being approached to take £ jj| part. ■: £ Still another objection has been because £ £ some have thought that the churches and £ pastors should not have the dance pavilion ;j £ operating under church management. That £ £ objection this time is removed, for the Krug ■: $ Park Amusement Co. had contracted with ■: £ Mr. John Smith for the dance pavilion last £ £ March, so the churches will have no hand in ■: £ the management of the hall. £ £ *Now let us all get together and have a big £ £ day of co-mingling one with another and at £ ■: the same time celebrate in a large way our £ £ Race Freedom. > £ The following named brethren have been jj p approached and have agreed to co-operate :j $ with the plan.
