A speeder at Schuyler tried to pay off his fine in pennies last
week but found he couldn't get the judge to go along with the
scheme. The Schuyler Sun reported the case of a California tourist
who was nabbed going 85 miles per hour. He was fined $55 and
attempted to give a check in payment. But the judge refused to
accept the check, insisting that the money should be in cash.
Whereupon the motorist went to his car and brought in several
huge jars filled with pennies. He started to count out the $55
and the Judge again ruled that the form of payment was not ac
ceptable. The Judge objected to having to count 5500 pennies.
After some discussion the speeder whipped out some $10 bills
and was soon on his way.

IT’S YOUR MOVE
Here Are Money Savers
Is 2-Term
Amendment
” • ___
Mirror of World Opinion
President Eisenhower’s misgiv
ing about the constitutional
amendment limiting the President
to two terms probably are shared
by many persons who have
thought about the problem. This
does not mean that they believe
a President should normally serve
more than two terms or that the
term while he is running for a
President Is longing for a third
second. Rather, it indicates a
dislike for a rigid prohibition in i
place of the more flexible two
term tradition established by
Washington and adhered to until
the third election of President in
1940. Many of those who deplore
the Twenty second Amendment
are equally emphatic in saying
that the two-term tradition should
never have been broken, but of
course the events of history can
not be altered by hindsight.
Most of the complaint about
the amendment stems from a be
lief that it will seriously handicap
a President in his second term.
President Eisenhower does not
appear to be greatly concerned
on this point. Aspirants for the
Presidency in the party in power,
he points out, will want the Pres
ident's blessing and his help in
getting the nomination. And for
other reasons his influence in his
own party may remain strong. In
any event, it would be premature
to talk about repealing the Twen
tysecond Amendment on this
ground before any President has
had any experience under it.
Another factor must be weigh
ed before any effort is made to
repeal the amendment. Such re
peal would not, of course, re
store the two-term tradition. On
the contrary, it might well be in
terpreted as removing all re
straint of any sort upon the re
turn of a President to the White
House as many times as he coul1
win the quadrennial election. !
This, in our opinion, would be
mort unfortunate. So much
power has been concentrated in
the Presidency that no man should
be permitted to hold it indefinite
ly even with the consent of a ma
jority of the people. Except in
the most extraordinary circum
stances. the short term advantages
of keeping an experienced man
in the office are outweighed by
the long-term dangers of one-man
government. For these reasons
we surmise that the two-term
amendment will remain in the
Constitution (unless it should
work very badly in practice) un
til some other means of discour
aging third-term candacies has
been devised.
Chamber
Host to 11
Boys, Girls
Eleven farm boys and girls from
s i x surrounding counties will
“taste city life” this weekend in
Omaha as guests of Omaha boys
and girls.
The program—a new project of
the Agriculture Committee of the
Omaha Chamber of Commerce—
will bring the farm youth here to
spend three days with their
city hosts.
In Omaha, the rural boys and
girls will meet their hosts first
at a general meeting at the
Chamber Thursday evening. Fri
day, they will go to school with
the city boy or girl; and that eve
ning, they will attend school or
youth activities in lown. Satur
day, the city boys and girls will,
take their farm friends to their
fathers' places of business, and
that afternoon, they will tour the
city together.
On Sunday, the farm and city
boys and girls will attend church
together. In the afternoon, the
Omaha host will return their
guests to their farm homes.
Dr. Merle E. Betts, chairman
of the sponsoring Chamber Com
mittee, said this is a new oppor
tunity for farm and city boys and
girls to become better acquainted.
“Because of the interdepen
dence between the farm and the
city these days,” he said, “this ‘ex
change visit’ will give both farm
and city boys and girls a fine
chance to understand each other’s
way of life’."
Open 30th
Christmas
Seal Drive
New York — The thirtieth an
nual Holiday Seals campaign of
the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People
has opened, it was announced here
today by Miss Bobbie Branche.
Miss Branche, campaign direc
tor, said that the seals have been
mailed to persons in all parts of
the United States, as well as in
Alaska, Canada and Europe.
A letter accompanying the seals
is from Lena Horne, singer, who
is campaign chairman. Miss
Horne’s message declares:
"Our principal concern is that
those of America’s Negro child
ren, hitherto denied a fair chance
at equal education in certain
states, shall enjoy their constitu
tional rights, and shall have the
opportunity to develop themselves
and contribute their best talents
to their country. This will be
one of the best demonstrations of
what America really means and
can be a powerful weapon for
peace and freedom in the world.”
The purchase of NAACP holiday
seals, Miss Horne points out,
"will enable us to carry on the
crusade for first class citizenship
and to meet the adversaries of
freedom with something more than
mere hopes and wishes.”

Object To
Jet Noise
SUPERONIC SILENCE — Jet
airplanes that can break the sound
barrier when flying high also
have a tendency, while being
at ground level, to break
the silence that suburban com
munities would like to enjoy. This
has been a major problem for
all jet aircraft builders.
Good-neighborly Republic Avia
tion Corp., which builds the super
sonic F-105 fighter-bomber at
Farmingale in the heart of popu
lous Long Island, has been grappl
ing with this problem ever since
it arose, back in the days of the
Korea fighting. RAC even hag
an engineer of high rank as offi
cer in charge of making less noise.
Jet noise doesn't arise from the
jet engine itself, bul from the
comet's tail of hot gases the jet
leaves in its wake, and this is
particularity true when the en
gines are being tested on the
ground. Republic now has erected,
on its engine-testing field near the
main plant, three silencers that
are so effective that ground crew
men can carry on nearly-normal
conversations a few feet away.
Newest improvement on these
mufflers is a coupling that closes
the ten-inch gap all around the
test jet's tail that existed on the
earlier silencers. Air sucked in
through this gap sounded a note
of its own, and a rather loud one.
Progress
Report Out
Next Month
Chicago — The annual Negro
progress report, published each j
year by EBONY, is featured in the
January issue of the magazine.
As in the previous years, school
integration was the best yardstick
by which to measure Negro pro
gress in 195fl. Regretably, figures
showed that the classroom de
segregation, which moved at a
gallop in 1955, had slowed to a
trot a year later.
In November, 1956, roughly
320 000 Negroes were attending
mixed schools in the South. How
ever, a breakdown of the figures
show that fewer than 65,000 of
these entered mixed schools in
1956. Furthermore, an estimated
2.400,000 Negroes still are attend
ing completely segregated schools
and five states (Alabama. Florid?
Georgia. MissGissippi and South
Carolina) do not admit Negroes
to white public schools at all.
Not content to resist the Ne
gro’s climb toward full citizenship,
hostile whites in the South
struck at the very nerve center
of the civil rights forces by out
lawing the NAACP in Texas, Lou
isiana and Alabama.
On the credit side of the civil
rights ledger, perhaps the most
dramatic incident on Negro pro
gress occured last March when the
San Antonio (Texas) city council,
unanimously passed an ordinance
forbidding segregation in all
public facilities.
Among other advances record?'1
were: The 135. Supreme Court
wiped out bus segregation in th»
South: Texas Democrats brought
its first Negro delegate (and th''
first from the South) to the party’s
National Convention in Chicago:
When the CIO and AFL merged
two Negroes were appointed as
y^'-presidents; Assistant Secre
tary of Labor, 3. Ernest Wilkins,
was elected president of the Meth
odists Judicial Council, the hl"h
est post a layman can hold; Ne
gro entertainers and athletes were
sent overseas by our state depart
ment on goodwill tours: and. U.S
Air Force Major Oscar J. Chap
man, former president of Dela
ware State College, was appoint
ed deputy director of the pro
pulsion research unit at the huge
Chanute Field in Illinois.

Ollie Matson

Jan.Ebony
Chicago — Ollie Matson, the
Chicago Cardinals’ fleet-footed
210 pound pile driving half back,
is featured in the January EB
ONY. Matson, described by op
posing teams as a football coach’s
dream player, has been an avid
grid fan since he was seven.
As a child in his native Trinity.
Texas, Ollie Genoa Matson, got
so he would roam the sidelines, at
Trinity High School games. “At
seven,” recalls his mother, “he
knew the game very well. None
of us ever dreamed we had a clue
to what he'd be as a man.”
In 1946. Mrs. Madson. a nursery
school teacher moved her family
to San Francisco, seeking “better
conditions” all around for her 14
year-old son and his twin sister,
Ocie. Ollie enrolled in the George
Washington High School at the
beginning of the 1946 fall semest
er and hesitantly went out for
track. Four weeks later he won
the 220-yard hurdles, rte subse
quently played basketball and
baseball before going out for foot
ball. Ollie scored his first high
school touchdown in 1947 but had
become nationally famous earlier
that year by placing second to
world quarter mile champion
Herb McKenley with a 47.1 effort
in the Pacific Coast AAU's 440
yard run.
While in high school Matson
kept a level head although George
Washington High girls formed
“Matsonettes” fan club for him.
After graduating, the school had a
'Matson Day," retired his jersey,
and gilded bis track shoes. Col
leges from all over the country
tried to get Matson.
When he gratuated from San
Francisco, be saw his jersey again
retired to the school trophy case.
Once the professional season is
over, Ollie returns to San Fran
cisco U. to continue work towards
a master degree in education.
