Woman joins Agriculture Dept amid celibacy commune scrutiny
Miss Susie Carter, a member of the Woman's Commonwealth that upholds celibacy and communism, has been appointed clerk in the Department of Agriculture. Her move into outside work is unprecedented for the group, which is centered at 37 Ewing Street and owns property in Montgomery County. The community, now with about sixteen mostly older women, faced notoriety when a member eloped two years ago, drawing national attention and marriage proposals.
