RENTS
If a frock has lost its freshness
By ah accidental tear,
Gaping thro the rent, it may be

That will mend a broken heart.

Urban League Drive
Goes Into Final Week
U111II11
Bending every effort possible*
to reach the goal of the Omaha
Urban League Financial Drive,
The captains and workers assist
ing the officials of the League are
entering upon the last week of thi«
e.firt Many special events have
been planned, e ven until June 2nd
when St- John AME. Choir will
give a special performance to
make a successf 1 campaign Some
gifts have come through the mai>
u» '.’cited from Lier.ds of "lie
Uiban League. But the goal is
*:ii. rot within leach. On Monday
tV I rban Lea n had less than
.inn rourth of rhe funds nfccssmv
to pi rchase their building.
.''lie people )i the community
ere ssked to respu.d with direct
drr:tions as wr’l as to support
special activities in order that
tun community might not fail in
to effort to retain a very vital
community service. The Chair
man of the Drive, Mr. Sayberf
Hanger, would like for the general
public to know that after June 1st
if there are individuals interested
in still gvng, a phone call to the
Urban League, We- 5020 or a post
card or letter addressed to this a
gency will receive immediate res
ponse and some authorized person
will pick up the donation. At the
meeting Tuesday night, held to
encourage the captains and work
ers of the drive, they were urged
to contact every individual work
ing in order that we may have at
least 1,000 employed persons giv
ing at least 11.00. The business
and professional leaders in the
community with incomes over the
average, were urged to contribute*
a larger sum. It was mentioned
that to place the hundreds of
youths on the streets who were
berng served by this agency, would
create a delinquency problem that
would result in the property as
well as the increase of crime rate
of our boys and girls. For the
Negroes of Omaha to let this ef
fort fail would cause the youth to
lose the respect of people not only
in Omaha, but throughout the na
tion.
It was mentioned at the meeting
that many people who have very
small incomes are making their
donations of 2 and 3 dollars at a
sacrifice and that those who are
better able should be urged to give
in accordance with their means.
The next captains and workers
meeting will probably be held at
the Urban League on Tuesday,
June 3rd in order to make the fin
al report.
c elebrating his 87th birthday, had
10,000 people, perhaps more, out
at his birthday party.
The guests attended a spring
time music and flower festival ar
ranged by a committee of 1,000 in
honor of the veteran citizen. Scor
es o fchoirs and other music or
ganizations furnished music; rep
resentative citizens of two races
spoke; mountains of flowers and
garden exhibits were arranged by
expert horticulturalists, and bevies
of beautiful debutantes dotted
huge Convention hall.
E. Washington Rhodes, lawyer
and newspaper editor, was chair
man of the birthday affair with
representative men and Women in
te community leading the group of
sponsors.

Manclmkuan Lama Festival

drums throughout the dance.
