Returning Husbands
to Be Made Members
kBy JEAN WHITEHEAD

Ugh on the sgenda of Detroit's
many service wives clubs are
their postwar plans.
In the long days when their hus-
bands were scattered on battle
fronts the world over, these Blue
Star women found companionship,
recreation and opportunity for
community service through the
clubs they formed.
Now their thoughts. are directed
to the time when their husbands
will be home and the original mo-
tive for their organizations no
longer exists.
HOMECOMING PARTIES
The majority of them agree
with the Center Line Club, a
group which has been meeting
weekly during the last three years,
In hope OF enlisting husbands in
the clubs as they return. and the
first joint activity on their docket
will be a gala homecoming party.
The Community Service wives,
The Northeastern Parkside group,
The Central YWCA and Royal Oak
clubs are among the groups MAX
| ing plans 10 include their hus-
bands in future meetings.

tatiVe OF the Detroit Council of
Churches, who has done extensive
work in helping service wives or
ganize within the churches, re-
ports that most OF these groups
|plan 10 consolidate with existing
young married couples clubs. or 10
form similar new groups of their

cided 10 postpone definite planning

still be meeting and working to-
|gether.
One OF the youngest clubs in the
city IS the North End Service
Wives group.
"Some Of us still don't know
each other very we'll" said Mrs.
Sally Farquhar, president, but

through our club and have had
40 many good times. we'd like

Southeastern Group
Protests New GARBAGE
Station Construction

A strong protest against the ap-
preparation of $3O2. ZOO, for the con-
struction of a new garbage transfer
station on the site Of the present
station at New Jersey avenue and K
streets Sc, has been made by the
Southeast Businessmen's Association.
Arthur J. Shaffer, president of the
association, in a letter to Senator
McKellar, Democrat, of Tennessee,
member of the District Subcommit-
tee of the Senate Appropriations
Committee, outlined the Southeast
Businessmens campaign against the
garbage station.
"This association" Mr.. Shaffer
said in his letter, has for years
attempted to have this garbage
plant moved elsewhere, but our
efforts to date have been unsuc-
cessful. /" " = We are requesting you
at the last moment to have this
item stricken from the District APP
preparation Act, not only for the
benefit Of the citizens of Southeast
Washington, but also because we feel
that its continued operation within
six blocks Of the Capitol Building
is an insult to the members of Con-
gress and to the Nation as a whole"
Mr.. Shaffer said from time to
time the associations objections
have been met with the statement
it would be uneconomical at those
times to remove the plant.
1T appears that objection can no
longer be raised since it is the inten-
ton of the District government to
reconstruct whole new plant" Mr..
Shaffer said. Now is the opportune
time to remove this blight from an
