Executive Secretary to
Leave WV

Miss Mildred Jackson, execu-
tive secretary o fthe Summit WV,
will leave her position here July
81. Miss Jackson has held her
position here since 1914.
In her two years with the WV
she has done a commenadble job.
Her absence will be noticeable
for years to come. Notable among
her achievements was to win an
increase of $1,000 a year from the
Community Chest fund. In Sep
TENDER, 1914, when she arrived
to assume her duties, it was
$4,000. Today it is $4,000. This
year the request is for $4,000.
This is remarkable when n re-
calls that several years back a
new Y vas planned, only to be
called off after pressure from ''im-
portant' persons was applied. The
approximately $4,000 which had
been collected was used to reno
vate the then rather run down
WV. In the present Y, 80 girls
can be accommodate in Is rooms.
There is a kitchenette where
the girls can cook if they wish.
The building is exceptionally we'll
kept, and is an ideal "home" for
girls who live away from home.
Of course, with the small number
Of girls it can take care of, it is
hopelessly inadequate to cope with
the rather pressing problem most
out-of-towners n having in OBJ
tanning living quarters.
Most of the activities which are
nov going on at the WV can be
accounted for in Miss Jackson's
tenure. These activities have re
suited in an increase in member
ship from 240 to 1916.
Miss jackson graduated from
Talladega college in Alabama,
and she received her masters from
the University of Minnesota. Hel
major was romance languages
She received training for the Y
W. C. A. work at the Institute OF
Executive Directors at the ma
tional YWCA board in New York
She came to Dayton from To
ledo, where she served as race
relations secretary. Her YWCA
work also includes the executiv,
dictatorship of the Murrell branch
YWCA in Miami, Fla. She alst
taught Spanish in Miami higl
schools.
1t is with regret that we an
nounce the departure of Mis-.
Jackson. She will leave a fine
heritage behind her, and an in
spiration for her successor tt
maintain the accomplishments.

Letter to Editor
NAACP Protests Guard Unit

With the sanction of form
er Mayor Edward Breen, the
recommendations of the
present mayoral incumbent,
Louis w. Lohrey, the bless
ings of the Chamber of
Commerce, the counsel of
various and sundry "elite"
Negroes, and under the au-
thority of the Adjutant Gen
eral, Ohio National Guard,
and at the instigation of one
Captain Herbert Lowery, the
citiZenry of Dayton are ap-
partntly soon to be graced
with a unit of the National
Guard, colored. Pl. lis for the
unit apparently originated
after consultation between
Captain Lowery and Edward
Breen, while the latter was
still in office as mayor.
When Mr.. Lohrey became
mayor, he evidently ap-
proved and endorsed the
plan, for in a letter to the
Adjutant General, he rec
commended both the activa-
ton of such a unit, and Sap
tain Lowry as the man to
head the same. Plans have
SO far progressed, that the
proposal has been submitted
to the City Fathers, with the
only apparent hindrance be-
ing the problem of housing
the unit.
The activation of this
separate Negro unit, is an
exemplification of the con-
tinued policy Of the Army of
maintaining segregation
within it's ranks. The most
latter statement of this pol
icy was made by General
Omar Bradley recently in q
public statement, "The army
he said, is not out to make
any social reforms. The army
will put men of different
races in different companies.
1t will change that policy
when the nation as a whole
! changes it." The attitude OF
Army Secretary Kenneth c.
Royal, on the question OF
non-segregation is vel
known to all.
Recently the President
! Harry Truman, paid lip ser
vice to the policy of non-seg'
regation by issuing and exc
cutive order calling fol

Girls State

Miss Lois johnson was chosen
by the American Legion Auxiliary
to attend the Girls State at Bill
ings and has written a report so
as to give the people some idea of
what takes place at these meet
| ings. They checked in at the regis
tration office in Billings at noon on
Friday, June IL and let the campus
Thursday June H. Her report IS
as follows:
The purpose of Girls State is
primarily to give students a chance
to run a mythical government as
their own government is run. They
are taught exactly how and why
the government functions as it does.
At this years meeting we were
taught everything from holding a
political party rally to the correct
manner of running a state, county,
or city office after it is gained
First Girls State was held on
Montana's Rocky Mountain College
campus. We were housed in three
dormitories which later figured in
our divisions of government Usually
there were two girls to a room but
in a few cases there were single and
triple rooms. While we lived IN
the dornns we followed all the rules
which college students are subject
to.
Saturday, June II, election Of city
officials was held. About one third
of the girls ran for an office This
made plenty of competition and
vigorous campaigning was done
Monday morning county elections
were held. Those who were city
officials could not run again for
county offices but everyone was en- I
titled to run for a state office. There
were four different counties each Of
which had its own election. City
and county offices functioned from
until Tuesday.
The moment we had all been
waiting for came Tuesday afternoon
when petitions were filed for state
offices. Many of those who ran, OF
course, did not get past the primary
elections: but what fun the cam /
was. When the time came /
for the polls to open for the last
time we were all sure we were
about to vote for the best woman. /
For our Governor we chose Jamie /
Brennan of Missoula, and 1t. Gov
arnor Pam Patton of Hardin.
White at Girls State we also had
20 choose two girls to represent us
At Girls Nation to be held in Wash
