nounced today.
The help came in the form of a

Committee Will Work For
Passage Of School Bonds

Formation of a Citizens Com
mittee For School Bonds was an
nounced Tuesday. Co-chairmen
of the group are w. Dale Clark,
chairman Of the board Of the O.
maha National Bank; Morris E.
Jacobs, president, Bozell and
Jacobs. INC; and w. c. Frazer,
Attorney. Executive secretary
of the group is Mrs. Harry
Schneiderwind, president Of the
Omaha Council of Parents and
Teachers.
The chairman of the new group
said that they are expected to n
roll at least $4,000 members in
their committee before the spec
ial election on November p. On
that date, Omaha voters will bal
lot on a proposed $20,00O,0OO
bond issue for construction of
schools. The chairman said they
are advocating the bond issue af-
ter careful study. They said that
the schools are urgently needed
now but that the cost should be
spread among those that will ben
eft from the buildings in the
years to come.
The three chairmen issued the
following statement: 20 m a ha
grade school population has
grown tremendously : approx
mately 5000 within the last three
years. This growth has come a
bout because Omaha's Industrial
expansion is bringing new fami-
lies to our city and the average
family is becoming larger.
NEARLY four thousand public
school children are now attending
schools ~half-days or using class
rooms in easements or portable
temporary shelters. There r.
"a such steel and wooden shelters
now in use in Omaha. Omaha's
birth records show that, within
the next six years, elementary
! schools will have to be provided
for 5000 nor youngsters than
are now enrolled.
"The Schools must be built.
Even with half day sessions and
classes in make-shift buildings,
Omaha public schools cannot
house the children who are now
Of pre-school oge. All Of US want
Omaha children to have adequate
schooling facilities. Our Board
Of Education wants to keep the
school taxes for buildings as low
as possible. The only question
to be considered in this school
matter is: What is the best way
to get the money to build the
schools we must have?
"After considerable study and
consultation with experts, the
Citizens Committee For School
Bonds recommends the proposed
type of bonds. The new school
buildings that are needed will
prpbaby be in use for at least go
years. Those of us now living
in Omaha and paying taxes to-
day are willing to pay our fair
share for these buildings. Those
who will be living in Omaha and
paying taxes Is or 20 years from
now should also be willing to pay
their share for these buildings.

costs sinve the end Of World War
IL shows a. constant rise in these
costs. school construction
costs continue to increase at their

Frank ShaugEnessy. president of
the International League. said
last night the sale of the SYRIA
cuse franchise to Miami will
renew a natural baseball rivalry
and ease travel problems for
the league.
THE .transfer will revive an
old baseball rivalry between
Miami and Havana. It will also
ease travel problems by giving
the northern teams another
Istop-over city on the way to
Havana, he said.
Prior to the transfer, Rich
mond was the last southern stop
before the long plane hop to
Havana.
The franchise shift is the
sixth in the league since 1850,
when Springfield replaced New

franchise was moved to Ottawa.
Springfield dropped out in 1853
and Baltimore joined the Amer
lican League They were re-
placed by Richmond and Hav-
ana. Ottawa dropped out in
