finding the way or means for
such a venture.

ltd Just that, found her way
to Happy Camp not more than
tour months after landing on
the east coast. She knew no
one In this area prior to ar
riving In this country. Ac
cording to Tessa, "I go where
the wind blows me."
Tessa landed in Virginia
after sailing across the Atlan
tic on an Irish freighter "to
save expenses," enduring 12
days of rough sailing. To help
finance her travels, she work
ed after her arrival in this
country at historic Williams
burg, Va., at the Williams
burg Inn as a cook under the
chef, this occupation bolng
on for which she was school
ed in England at the Cordon
Bleu, a famous cooking school,
from which she received a
diploma.
Tessa also has had secre
tarial courses but she said
her first love la to cook.
After leaving Virginia,
where she spent the Christ
mas season, she went to New
York. All her traveling was
made by bus.
New York was a wonderful
place to visit, but Tessa said
"1 wouldn't like to live there,
as it is too much of a rat-race,
you know," mixing new-found
Amerlsan slang wnn a very
lovely English accent.

The total tax levy of $73,-
827.09 was considerably be
low last year's $89,293.76 and
