Boyles, Assistant Director of the Motor Vehicle Div ision cf the State of Nebraska «-i'ls to the attention of all motor ve hicle operators that Operators’ Lic enses must be renewed every 4 wo years from date of issuance of oi iginal license. According to the reports froi l the different counties, it is indic ated that there are a considerable number who are operating vehicl es in violation cf the Nebraska Statutes. Applications for renewal of Op erators’ Licenses need not be mad" in person, unless tiie original has expired more than 90 days alter the same became due for renewal. In all cases where the Operator's 1 License is more than 90 days past i due, the applicant for renewal must appear before a Patrolman- j Examiner as required on an orig inal application. Even though the individual mav renew within 90 days without ex amniation, this does not authoriz ed him to operate a vehicle over the highways of the State of Ne braska after his license is delin quent. Mr. Boyles therefore urges all persons to check their operator’s License to determine the expirat ion date.

WELLES CREDIT FOR HIS SUCCESS When an actor becomes a suc cess, he usually forgets that his .-ai'ser was inspired by som3 other actor. Candad Lee .s an exception. "I never would have amounted t anything in the theatre if it ha-n t been for Orson Welles.” says the rensational young Neg.-o actor, who won the 1941 Critics’ Award for his portrayal cf the title role n the Broadway play, "Naiiv-i Son.” He is now making his film debut in "Lifeboat.” the powerful Alfred Kitchfoek sea drama, at 20th Cen tury-Fox_..the same studio tliat produced Welles’ latest pictur- .

For a while after that, I ran a night-club. The prohibi ion was repealed and the club folded and cne day I found myself down to my last dime, w.th no job in sight.

The door opened into an auditorium full of empty seats. Up on tnc stage, some guys were standing a rcund, and one of them was read ing. I didn’t think they’d notice if 1 took a seat in the back row.

You in the back, there_ let's hear YOU read.’ I didn’t know what this was all about, but I heard the word ‘job,’ so I wont j up and read. “When I finished, the man said, ‘The role is yours.’ That’s how I got into acting_with the Federal Theatre Project.

As an abundant source of Vitamin C, they are invaluable in maintaining the health of America's fighters in the field and on the industrial home-front. Union Pacific serves a large part of the Western territory which produces great quantities of citrus fruits. Modern re frigerator cars provide the protective transportation that keeps these fruits in orchard-fresh condition. Thus, a transportation service of com mercial value in peace-time has become even more essential in war-time. To guard America's health through supply ing proper foods might be considered almost as important as the transportation of armament and troops; another job that the railroads are doing efficiently and whole-heartedly. 1416 Dodge St. or 1614 Famam St., Omaha, Nebr Phone JAckson S822 7^2 ‘Tty™4***' UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD ROAD OF THE STREAMLINERS AND THE CHALLENGERS
