ton officials belatedly checked
the records and found that WON.
an previously had been president
of the association, making Jean
Everhart the second woman presi.
dent, not the first.
Mrs. Everhart, who was elected
in last months voting, has been
told, along with other members
of the previous executive com.
mittee, if elected, she would be
the first woman to head Tea.
After the election results were
publicized giving great play to
Mrs. Everhart as the first TEA
leader of her sex, few complaints
came in from people who served
with Mrs. Andrea Washburn.
Mrs. Everhart then checked the
records which had been turned
over to her and found that Mrs.
Washburn was the second pres.
ident of TEA in 1950-51. Mr.. Viii
liam P. Hall was the first, in
1949-50, according to records avail
able to Mrs. Everhart.
Mrs. w a h burn. when con-
tacted, said she had read several
reports that Mrs. Everhart would
be the first woman as president,
but did not feel it necessary to
draw her term to anyones atten-
ton.
''The presidency of Tea is a
thankless, mean job, and I don't
want to do anything to give Mrs.
Everhart a difficult beginning"
she said. II was anxious to get
out, and when new blood came
along to take over 1 was thankful.
1 don't intend to get fussy over
little things, now"
Some of the initial confusion
arose when one Tea official said
he believed Mrs. Washburn was
instrumental in forming TEA. He
believed she had served as chair
man until president was elected,
but that she never served in an
elective post. Subsequent checks
of the record show this to be
erroneous.
The new slate of Tea officers
will start its term with a dance
at the Civic Center, November %.
Tickets are limited to 30 couples
and can be bought from Bucky
Seaton, GA. 4-9339.
The dance committee is COM
posed of Betty Ann Marshall,
Frank Driscoll, Lorrie Miller and
Joe Garry.
The newly-appointed chairman
of teas Traffic and Safety COM
mittee John Moser reports his
petition for action on the Bradley
entrance from Veirs Mill COM
pleted and sent to the Mayor and
Council.
Of the 49 houses approached
only one person said they liked
the existing setup, and gave as
her reason the belief that it cut
traffic on Bradley ave.
Of the remainder, 43 signed the
petition, three said they never
signed petitions, and two were
not reached.
Moser hopes his petition will be
instrumental in opening the serv-
ice road for two-way traffic TO
Bradley ave.
His petition was taken only to
those, who are Immediately and |
most seriously affected by the
oRe-way sign: those on Bradley
ave. to Marshall ave.
These people must drive sew
eral extra blocks to get to their
homes in order to obey the one
way injunction. Other homes,
deeper into the subdivision, are
also affected but can circumvent |
the one-way sign by leaving Veirs |
Mill several blocks before reach |
ing Bradley and weaving through |
residential streets to their homes.
Another method, which is by no
means without advocates and |
practitioners, is the expedient |
method of ignoring the one-way |
sign.
The United Giver's 1858 Drive |
is over, but as yet only incOm-
plete returns are in for the Twin
brook Area.
Shirley o bermiller, section
chairman south of Veirs Mill, re-
ports near completion of her
work, with II of her Ia captains |
having turned in their kits.
Mrs. Obermiller has Is percent |
of her goal with $521.55 of her |
$699 quota. She said she doubts |
that the two remaining captains |
will be able to make up more
than a fraction Of the 25as deficit |
of their quota.
One of Mrs. Obermiller's work
ers reported she canvassed two
blocks without receiving so much |
as farthing.
Louise Hartley, section chair
man north of Veirs Mill, has 50 |
percent of her Sal quota, and
