YWCA Investigates
Dismissal Rumors

The committee OF management
was called together in a special
meeting for the purpose, if possible,
of untangling reports, answering
inquiries, investigating rumors,
disclosing contacts made by an I'M
authorized committee and indivi-
duals, in fact, the management
tried to solve the underlying mys-
teries which are generally con-
coded as having to do with the
recent hasty proposal to dismiss
Miss Elizabeth R. Summers, Exec
utive Secretary of the branch, who
has served as secretary for the
past eight years. This investigation
involved several in the community
upon which the destiny of our COM
munity life and progress rests.
There was much discussion and
cross examining before some of the
mystery was solved. However. it
was acknowledged and proven that
a suggestion to community chest
directors and central Y for broad
-er program with underlying pur-
poses which would automatically
change the present set-up at the
branch was the major reason for
the proposal. The unethical pro-
cedure in which the proposal was
issued warranted the writing of a
letter to the board of directors at
Central Y. It is believed, or rather
hoped, the mistake of interference,
jumping at conclusions, tearing
down that which you can't rebuild,
seeking to undermine and the
many other ways of retarding COM
munity progress and jeopardizing
the morale of an individual or a
group must and will be stopped.
The next meeting of the Committee
of management. will be held the
second Wednesday in September,
at which time activities at the
branch will be resumed.
