annual state conference for Ne.
gro Girl Reserves was held in Ho,
Springs, Ark, April Hip, with
80 Girl Reserves and 9 club ad-
visers from the Phyllis Wheatley
Club Y. w. c. A. attending. The
theme of the Conference, "What
Next?" was well developed by the
very able speaker, Miss Louise Lo-
max, worker in the U. S. @. Gen.
ter in Texarkana. The spirit of fel-
lowship among the girls from the
four communities represented -
TT. Smith, Tcxarkana, Hot Springs
and Little Rock-was indicative of
increased understanding of the
spiritual and character building'
nature of the Girl Reserve Move
ment in the Y. w. G. A.
The adult leaders present were
proud of the very fine manner in
which the girls employed the demo-
cratic process in directing their
meetings, expressing their points
of view and adjusting themselves
in the total program Of the Con-
ference.

Howard Named
Temporary Choirmon

With r. E. Howard appoint
ed temporary chairman, several
property owners and others to-
day were going ahead with plans
to organize a Nacomb county
branch of the Greater Detroit
Property Owners and Taxpayers
association.
Some 40 persons attended a
meeting at the Macomb school
last night and heard the policy
of the association outlined by
President Carl Smith of Detroit.
The association is crusading
for fair and equitable rent con-
troll measures, officials contend.
Howard said an organizing
committee would be appointed
soon and a permanent Macomb
branch effected within the next
week. At a meeting to be held
some time next week, officers
will be elected, Howard said.
The date of the meeting will be
announced later.
Howard declared the organi-
cation is not exclusively 70 r
landlords. All property owners
are invited to join, he said.

fields, ITO miles south of Ros-

1.-THE situation is very tense"
Soviet dispatches said referring
to the Caucasus.
For the first time, the Rus
slams acknowledged that the
Germans had lunged far down
the west side of the Caucasus
land bridge to the middle east
after a major break through Red
Army defenses.
Dispatches to Red Star, the
Russian army newspaper, said
Marshal Semeon Timoshenko' S
armies had made a heroic but
unsuccessful attempt to stem the
Nazi onslaught in the loop of
the Kuban River above Maikop,
in the Armavir sector, 160 miles
south of Rostov, and east of

German field headquarters
asserted that. Nazi troops had
captured Kurgannaya, only 80
miles from Maikop, and the i'm

clared:

German planes striking ahead
of the land forces were report
ed to have attacked Soviet col

Nazi headquarters said Ger
