COHEN WILL CONTINUE
AS CUSTOMS INSPECTOR
Washington, D. C. — Presidenl
Coolidge will continue Walter L. Co
hen, comptroller of customs at Nev
Orleans, La., in office without a re
appointment, it was learned recently
Mr. Cohen’s original appointment ex
pired April 15.
The action of the president in per
mitting Mr. Cohen to hold over wil
prevent a recurrence of the bittei
fight that he faced in the senate whet
his name was presented for confirma
tion four years ago. The Louisian!
senators, Joseph E. Ransdell and Ed
win Broussard, democrats, opposec
him because he is a Negro. They hat
always indicated their opposition t<
his reappointment.
Y. W. C. A. NEWS
The religious and general educa
tion committee closed their vesper
services for the summer vacation pe
riod, Sunday afternoon. May 27.
There was an excellent representa
tive group, composed of the business
and profession men and women of the
city, of both races. The reports of
the various welfare workers were en
thusiastically received. High com
mendation was given the report of
our acting secretary. Miss Ruth O.
Collins, who was the delegate from
the North Side Branch, to the nation
al Y. W. C. A. convention held in
Sacramenta, California. The work of
the religious and general education
committee is due great praise because
| of its far reaching helpfulness. Es
j pecially should credit be given to Mrs.
, Hiram Greenfield, chairman, who has
! carried on so faithfully.
The Blue Ribbon club of the
branch is sponsoring a vesper service
scheduled for June 17. All of the
participants on this day will be Girl
Reserves. It is rather an unusual
happening for the girls to take entire
charge of such a meeting, so there
fore, we feel that the girls should be
given your heartiest support. Watch
for further announcements.
The outdoor activities for the “Y”
girls have begun. If your girl is not
a member, send her to the “Y” build
ing, and let her enjoy the outdoor
life. Hikes, tennis, baseball, etc.
