Nazi Invaders Defied
Tor Three Years by !.
Red Guerrilla Island
BY EDDY GILMORE.

n'eoo'ateo fress war Correspondent.
MOSCOW. July 8.-The story OF
vast Russian guerrilla island"
ringed with barbed wire and mines,
which held out behind the German
lines IN White Russia for three
years. was revealed today after
juncture of its fighting forces with
the advancing Red Army.
Two correspondents for the army
paper Red Star, 1t. Col Nikolai
Prokofiev and Maj. Yakov Litesky
sent the story back after talking to
hundreds of the residents of this
strange guerrilla land in the tri-
angle formed by Borisov, Lepel and
Minsk. recently liberated from the
Nazis.
The guerrilla land, embracing
hundreds of villages" the corre-
spondents said. never submitted
and never recognized the Germans y
Every Road Blocked.
Every road was blocked with
mines and wire and every German
attempt to penetrate into the terri
tory was halted.
Contact never was lost with the
Soviet government. Soviet COM
muniques were received regularly,
and Moscow newspapers arrived
often.
On state holidays, the houses and
streets were decorated with Red
flags. Even the Soviet collective
farm regime was maintained.
Without disclosing its location,
Soviet communicates often have
mentioned the guerrilla land, and
Premier Stain has praised it as an
inspiration to guerrillas elsewhere.
The leader of this strange district
was a tall, blond, blue-eyed White
Russian.
Each Village Had Job.
Using the village of Sashuni as an
example, he explained:
This village had its own specially
to break down enemy communica-
tions. Another. Tenelevo, had an
other job, to blow up bridges.
Every one has it's assigned tasks.
and all inhabitants took part in
one way or another in the opera
tions"
A small boy nearby said, They
wouldn't take me along, but served
as lookout sometimes"
An old woman in Sashuni ex-
claimed, For three years the Ger
mans did not get crumb out of
US: everything went to our fighters. "
The Germans made three ma jor
efforts to wipe out the guerrilla
district. Once several German di-
visions moved against it. Each time
the villagers disappeared into the
depths of the forests, taking all their
livestock, weapons and utensils with
them. Each time they returned.
Foe Constantly Harried.
Their constant harrying attacks
on the Germans grew stronger con-
stantly, and finally they were car
rying the fight to the invaders.
driving the enemy out, then build
ing strong defenses with captured
weapons and materials.
Near the village of Goreliki the
Red Star men said they met a long
column of guerrillas, singing as they
marched.
Where are you going?" the cor
respondent asked.
To the recruiting post" the guer-
rillas replied. We are going to join
the Red Army now"

1884 as the result of a merger of
Rutherford and Weaver colleges.
It is ideally located here in
Brevard and occupies the site of
the former Brevard Institute, a
school operated successfully for
more than so yrs. by the Women's
Missionary Council of the Meth
odist Episcopal Church. South.
The spacious grounds, buildings
and equipment was given to the
Western conference for the pur-
pose of establishing the college.
The institution also owns a large,
modern dairy farm consisting of
80 acres of rich land and a large
herd of purebred cattle. In addi-
ton to the farm, the college owns
1000 acres of forest land a few
miles west of Brevard.
DR.. Coltrane has been president
of the college since it was estab-
lished and the institution has en-
joyed substantial growth. Until
the outbreak of the war, enroll
ment totalled around 400, approx
imately 200 boys and 200 girls.
Draft needs have practically de-
pleted the male enrolment, while
on the other hand, more girls than
ever before are attending the col
lege.
Last year as a wartime measure,
a pre-college department was
opened and enrolment in this
department which enables high
school boys and girls to acceler-
ate their education, has been
good.
Under the leadership of Chair
man Jones and DR.. Coltrane, a
campaign is underway to increase
the institutions endowment fund
from $4,000 to 100000, and a
million-dollar building program
was launched prior to the war
and is expected to be revived in
the near future.
