When the traditional wed
ding vows, "to love him, and
to cherish him 'til death do you
part," are. changed to "never
cook any meals or scrub any
floors for him," there's bound
to be a divergence into a
different vogue. And sure e
nough, it most certainly was
when many Charlotteans wit
nessed the most hilarious, foot
stumping, eye catching, yet
extraordinarily beautiful and
delightful Tom Thumb Wedd
ing.
This breathtaking event was
sponsored by the Rosa M.
Morris Chapter No. 650, Order
of Eastern Star, and held at
the Friendship Baptist Chur
ch. The dainty bride the little
Ms. Tonya Alford, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Alford,
and the handsome groom Jo
seph Burton, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Joe Montgomery, were
united in mock holy wedlock
by the Rev. Ronald Maxwell.
Beautiful pre-nuptical mu
sic was provided by a piano
selection from Stacy Pauling

Enderly Park Group To Meet With Dannellv
By Cynthia Bell
Post Staff Writer
The Enderly Park Neighb
orhood Organization will
meet Friday night, Dec 2 at
7:30 p.m. with councilman -
elect Charlie Dannelly. The
problem stemming from poor
drainage will be the main
topic for discussion An appa
rent neglect on the part of the
city has plagued homeowners
in a five block radius on the
south side of Tuckaseegee for
some time. **
When it rains, the water
from Tuckaseegee Road
drains down side streets, flo
oding the roads and yards.
This problem is caused by the
lack of drains on the streets
and piles of excess dirt from
past years construction on
Freedom Drive. Erosion has
come about as a result One
homeowner noted that some of
his lot has fallen victim to this
unwanted erosion. Gene Loss
of Carolina Action and others
have noticed pipes extending
out of the sand piles with what
is believed as sewage from the
Freedom Drive establish
ments draining onto the lots of
homeowners.
Edith Proctor, homeowner
and representative of Carolina
Action to City Council, belie
ves that the city should try to
upgrade the entire are? in
stead of building sidewalks
and catch basins in certain
areas. The city, however, says
that there's nothing that they
can do about the erosion and
flooded back yards because it
is on private property.
Proctor said "the park ne
eds improvements too A more
attractive park will make mo
thers feel secure about their
youngsters playing there. Bro
ken down fixtures need to be
upgraded."

borhood Organization is one of
