Two Ice Glaze Storms Over U. S. Interior Plains, January, 1949 GORDON B
ACADEMY OF SCIENCE FOR 1963 316 Two Ice Glaze Storms Over U. S. Interior Plains, January, 1949 GORDON B. SCHILZ, Southeastern State College, Durant After driving, January 1st, 1948, from Detroit to St. Louis on Ice glazed highways from which more than 50 telephone and power line crews were clearing broken poles and tangled wires, it seemed worthwhile to ascertain the area, duration and damage cost of. such a storm. A year later first hand observation and experience during four days of January without water, light, telephone, or newspaper, caused by severe ice glaze damage in southeastern Oklahoma stimulated this study. Ice glaze storms may result from (1) a moist air mass Which is present over a region being uplifted by an inrushing polar continental air mass; or (2) from warm moist air over-running the cool dry mass; with temperature of surface air mass between 10°-33° F. while the upper moist air reaches a condensation point above 32°. During January 9-12, 1949, such conditions were charted by the Weather bureau (Map I, Frontal Action, 1st Ice Glaze Storm) as cPK pushed from Canada towards Texas and Kentucky. The trend of the cold front action (designated on the map by heavy black lines) was influenced (1) by a slow movement of the low over the Great Lakes on the 9th and 10th and (2) by "high" on the 11th and 12th over Alabama North Carolina. This ice glaze storm was characterized by the Des Moines meteorologist as "caused by a wide stream of warm moist air overrunning a shallow cold air-mass that covered the mid-west" (1). -

History Workshop
UNIVERSITY OF THE WITWATERSRAND, JOHANNESBURG HISTORY WORKSHOP STRUCTURE AND EXPERIENCE IN THE MAKING OFAPARTHEID 6-10 February 1990 AUTHOR: Iain Edwards and Tim Nuttall TITLE: Seizing the moment : the January 1949 riots, proletarian populism and the structures of African urban life in Durban during the late 1940's 1 INTRODUCTION In January 1949 Durban experienced a weekend of public violence in which 142 people died and at least 1 087 were injured. Mobs of Africans rampaged through areas within the city attacking Indians and looting and destroying Indian-owned property. During the conflict 87 Africans, SO Indians, one white and four 'unidentified' people died. One factory, 58 stores and 247 dwellings were destroyed; two factories, 652 stores and 1 285 dwellings were damaged.1 What caused the violence? Why did it take an apparently racial form? What was the role of the state? There were those who made political mileage from the riots. Others grappled with the tragedy. The government commission of enquiry appointed to examine the causes of the violence concluded that there had been 'race riots'. A contradictory argument was made. The riots arose from primordial antagonism between Africans and Indians. Yet the state could not bear responsibility as the outbreak of the riots was 'unforeseen.' It was believed that a neutral state had intervened to restore control and keep the combatants apart.2 The apartheid state drew ideological ammunition from the riots. The 1950 Group Areas Act, in particular, was justified as necessary to prevent future endemic conflict between 'races'. For municipal officials the riots justified the future destruction of African shantytowns and the rezoning of Indian residential and trading property for use by whites. -

COLLEGE OF TEXAS FMPLOIMENT OF WCMBN IN JANUAKT 1950 The woman labor force increased by more than 3/4 million from January 1949 to January 1950, according to figures issued by the U. S. Bureau of the Census. This increase represents a rise of 230,000 in the number employed and a rise of 565,000 in the number unemployed. The number of women employed in agriculture decreased considerably, while those in nonagricultural employment increased. Between December 1949 and January 1950 the woman labor force decreased, owing largely to the withdrawal of extra workers employed in stores during the holiday season and of unpaid workers who had been helping on family farms. _____________________ January 1950___________________________ Number of Percent women Change since Change since women of all persons December 1949 January 1949 Population (14 years and over) 56,096,000 50.9 ♦ 43,000 ♦ 637,000 Civilian labor force 17,712,000 28.8 - 568,000 ♦ 795,000 Employed 16,494,000 29.0 - 769,000 ♦ 230,000 In agriculture 625,000 10 a - 224,000 — 181,000 In nonagricultural industries 15,869,000 31.3 - 545,000 ♦ 411,000 Unemployed 1,218,000 27.2 ♦ 201,000 ♦ 565,000 Armed forces 21,000 1<5 None 4 6,000 Nonworkers 38,363,000 80.9 ♦ 616,000 - 164,000 (U.

Major Economic Changes in 1948
UNITED NATIONS MAJOR ECONOMIC CHANGES IN 1948 Department of Economic Affairs Lake Success, New York January 1949 Major Economic Changes in" 1948 Department of Economic Affairs UNITED NATIONS Lake Success, New York January 1949 UNITED NATIONS PUBLICATIONS Sales No.: 1949. n.C. I PREFACE Ma]or Economic Changes in 1948 is the third of a series of reports dealing with world economic conditions, prepared by the Department of Economic Affairs of the United Nations. The first, Economic Report: Salient Features of the World Economic Situation 1945-47, was issued in January 1948; a supple- ment to that report, Selected World Economic Indices, was issued in July 1948. The purpose of the present publication is to make generally available a preliminary review of important economic developments which occurred during 1948. It is being issued at this time in order to provide the Economic and Social Council with a useful factual background for discussion of the current world economic situation at its eighth session in February 1949. A comprehensive economic survey of the world situation will be issued towards the middle of 1949. That survey will take account both of the regional economic reports which will become available during the early months of 1949 from the secre- tariats of the regional economic commissions of the United Nations in Europe, Latin America and the Far East, and of the economic activities of the specialized agencies. Part I of Major Economic Changes in 1948 provides a broad picture of the main economic develop- ments during the year 1948, based on data, necessarily incomplete for the year, which were available at the time the report was prepared.
