I % URBAN LEAGUE MOVES TO DOWNTOWN YWCA Temporarily the offices of the Oma ha Urban League will be located on the third floor, room No. 31 of the downtown YWCA. League officials stated several factors motivated this change in the League’s offices. In orer that the League Building be utilized to the fullest it was leased to the near northside YWCA. The expanded “Y” program will now be able to reach and serve many more iindviduals and groups than it has been able to do in the past. At the same time the Urban League will be able to effect some savings in opera tion expenses. Last, the League will now be nearer those agencies, organ izations and firms with which it must work closely in the promotion of th< League’s program. The League is currently negotiating for more amples quarters and does not plan to remain in the YWCA for more than 30 days. Office hours, 9 a. m. to 5 p. m. Monday through Fri day, and 9 to 12 a. m. Saturdays, re main the same. Likewise there has been no change in the telephone num ber, JAckson 7648. ST. PAUL ARCHITECT SPOT LIGHTED BY SMART WOMAN Chicago—Clarence W. Wigington, architectural engineer of St. Paul, Minn., designer of many public build ings, including the municipal audi torium and water tower, gets the spot light in the January issue of Smart Woman magazine. For many years, Wigington has de signed the famous “ice palace” which attracts vistiors from far distant points. The palace is constructed of tons and tons of ice, and is lighted up nightly by the reflection of vari colored lights which give a striking effect. “From a home that boasted one lux ury—a telephone—to a recognized authority in designing buildings cost ing $100,000 and more is a long jump,” says the article, “but Wiging ton has demonstrated that such a jump can be made without breaking any bones in the process.” Industry In Iraq The climate of Iraq is continental, with varying degrees of heat and little rain and moisture, although Iraq is in the temperate zone. Iraq was noted in ancient time for the manufacture of cotton, wool, linen and silk textiles, also for tanning, carpet and blanket weaving. To day there are many factories, among which are textile, shoe, brick, cigarette, tanneries, distiller ies, ammunition and railroad shops The manufacture of copper and bronze dishes and of gold and silver articles also has become important. TREMENDOUS RISE IN COSTS FORCES US TO GIVE UP TOKEN FARES! January 9th we filed with the Nebraska State Railway Com mission a request for revision of Omaha rates which would eliminate adult token fares and place all adult fares on the 10 cents cash basis in Omaha. We regret that it is necessary for us to do this. We regret it because it means we have lost a long and disappointing battle with rising operating costs . . . the present adult fare having been in effect since 1930. In spite of our widespread operating economies; in spite of the fact that almost twice as many people now ride buses and street cars as before the war, which has increased our revenues—the fact still remains: We simply can't make ends meet and still bring you the type of good, dependable transportation service you want .. . and the kind of good service we want to furnish. The only answer to the problem is to eliminate adult token fares. There will be no change in fares for children and students. IEEE ABE A FEW EXAMPLES OF OUR INCREASED COSTS Everything we use costs more now! Actually materials and supplies are more than twice what they were in 1938. Taxes are up! Our tax bill for 1947 will be approximately a quarter of a million dollars more than in 1938. Wages have lumped! Dollarwise our payroll today is almost THREE TIMES AS MUCH AS IN 19381 * Fuel costs are up! For example, our buses use almost 2 million gallons of gasoline a year. Gasoline costs us $130,000 more now than in 1938. t FARE REVISION NECESSARY TO MAINTAIN GOOD SERVICE That's the story. The only way we 1 can meet these increased costs and keep your bus and street car trans portation good is through an upward lore revision. We don't like it. We regret it. We have delayed it ai long as we could. But now there simply isn't anything else to do. OMAHA & COUNCIL BLUFFS STREET RAILWAY COMPANY "In Sweden, we cannot afford to waste food,” says Sonia Llljenroth, who came to United States to take a job on a newspaper. "And we know the value of fats and oils, for food and for industry. I am de lighted to hear that American women salvage used cooking fat. Such .American thrift makes more fats available to the hungry and homeless I have seen all over Europe,” she says.

Millions of Maps When the United Nations invaded occupied Europe they took with them 125 million maps, the result of a “combined operations” job by the corps of engineers, the army air forces and the best brains of mili tary intelligence and thousands of enlisted personnel in the army. Aerial photographs have com pletely taken away the “mystery” of the Pacific islands, and the loca tion of every hut and palm tree. More original maps of France were produced by the Allies in 2 years than by France herself in 2,000 years. Origin of Indians There are theorists who trace the American Redmen to the lost con tinents of Mu and Atlantis, and still others who identify them as the lost tribe of Israel and the wan dering Greeks of Homer.
