The Last
Word
By Elizabeth Davit Pittman
The Yuletide Season is here
with its happiness and joy, but
not enough snow has blown this
direction to give that buoyant,
cheerful feeling. There is noth
ing so exhiliarating as a round of
Christmas shopping with merry
greetings tossed back and forth.
This year we approach the
Christmas season with tragedy in
Europe as Hungarians struggle
l for freedom and make a stand
for human rights. We in Amer- |
ica have a feeling of internal se
curity that with a national elec
tion just over and the nation pro
ceeding its steady course in world
leadership.
Let us be thankful this Christ
mas that our loved ones arc safe,
that we have a hope for happiness
and that tomorrow will be better
than yesterday. Gladness is con
tagious and Just a wee contact
with it can work miracles. The
light on a child’s face at Christ
mas time is worth all the gold in
the world. Remember this, for
these are the basic values.
NAACP ASKS THAT SITE OF
TEXAS INJUNCTION TRIAL BE
SHIFTED
TYLER, Texas, Decemebr, 14 —
A hearing on an NAACP motion
to shift the trial which will decide
whether a permanent injunction
should be issued against it from
this city to Austin or Dallas closed
here on December 13, after testi
mony was heard from the two top
officials of the Association.
Roy Wilkins, executive secre
tary, testified on December 1?,
and Thurgood Marshall, special
counsel on December Jl and 12.
The NAACP is questioning the
venue of former proceedings held
here, as the result of which a tem
porary injunction was issued
against Association units in Texas.
The NAACP contends that un
der Texas laws a corporation such
as itself can be sued only in the
capital city of the state or in the
county in which the corporation's
office is located. The NACCP’s
main Texas office is situated «n
Dallas.
Minnesota
Team Bids
Cage Lead
Omaha, Nebraska, December 12
—Runner-up to Western Illinois of
Macomb in the first NAIA "Tip
Off basketball tournment here a
year ago, Gustavus Adolphus col
lege of St. Peter, Minnesota, will
make a second straight bid for the
championship with a team built
around sophomore stars.
Coach Gus Young lost four
starters by graduation and the 6
foot, 7-inch Bill Patterson, Negro
forward sensation, through schol
astic difficulties, but he is confi
dent he has another winner in
the making.
A year ago he stamped Owen
Wallin, a 6-4 forward, and D. L.
Smith, 6-2 guard, as "two of the
best freshmen I’ve ever coached.”
They will be starters this season.
Rounding out the first five will
be veteran Harvey Goldberg, 6-3
senior, with Wallin at forward;
Phil Bellefuil, an outstanding
freshman prospect, with Smith at
guard, and Bob Freund, a 6-7 cen
ter who led Minneapolis Roosevelt
High to a state title last spring.
Two other lettermen are on the
squad, pressing for starting assign
ments. Pat Sweeney is an ex-all
stater from Minneapolis Wash
burn, and Paul Youngdahl, a soph
omore, has rebounding strength
in his 6-foot, 5-inch frame.
Young, one of the most colorful
of NAIA coaches, has monopolized
honors in small-college competi
tion in Minnesota the last three
seasons, and team spirit was at a
higher pitch at the St. Peter
school.
“We will play six games before
we head for Omaha and I hope
we'll be able to correct some of
our errors before the tournament
opens,” Young said “This is a
young team, but it has much
promise.”
Gustavus will make Its annual
trip to Dayton University and
Western Kentucky, December 1
and December 3. The team then
will play Beloit in the home open
er, December 8. before engaging
St. Mary's, Macalestcr and Augs
burg in conference tests prior to
the “Tip Off” event.

Highways
Are Short
of Funds
By OWEN J. ~BOYLES, Secretary
Of Highway Commission
Under the present division of
our Highway Users Revenue there
are only sufficient revenues a
vailable to our Highway Depait
ment to match primary and state
secondary funds, there being a de
ficiency in the matching of inter
state monies. The counties and the
urban areas of the state have not
in the past taken full advantage
of the Federal Secondary and
Urban Funds and the past year
the Highway Department was for
tunate to have had monies to
match these funds or, otherwise,
we the people of Nebraska would
have lost sufficient revenues un
der those allocations. Now with
the accelerated program under
the new Federal Act, the counties
and urban areas must find some
way to take advantage of their
ez; Tigers - Herbert Moss; El Dor
ados - N. Adkins; Crosstown Dra
gons - Jack Childs and Old Timers
- Eugene Skinner.
Topeka Teams To Invade Omaha
Plans have been made for the
Annual Topeka-Omaha clash of
basketball teams on Saturday,
December 8, when teams from the
Carver Branch of the YMCA, will
bring their two representative
teams to Omaha. The first game
starting at 7 P.M., will bring to
gether the Carvettes Girls Team
against the Omaha Trotters Girls’
Team. The second game starting
at 8 P.M., will pit the Carver
Dons against the Omaha Travelers.
The Travelers will have such
players as Mickey Bowman, Bill
Harmon, Anthony Wright and
Bob Rose. A social will follow
the games with the public being
invited.
allocations or such funds will re
vert to the Federal Government.
In previous comments I have
attempted to set forth the sources
of state revenues to the highway
agencies of our state. At this time
I would like to quote to you the
figures of federal revenues which
j are available to Nebraska under
| the Federal Highway Act of 1956.
i During the period of July 1, 1956
to June 30, 1959, Federal Funds
allocated during this period for
our Primary System total Seven
teen Million Nine Hundred Thous
ind Dollars, to our Secondary
Road Fund Seven Million Seven
I Hundred Thousand Dollars, to the
| Interstate System Seventy-Two
Million Two Hundred Thousand
i Dolars. Of the above amounts
j state revenues must be provided
j by our State Highway Department
; on a ratio of 50-50 basis on the
1 Primary and Secondary monies.
Of the Interstate Federal Aid they
must be matched with State Funds
on a 90% Federal and 10% Stale
basis.
In addition to the foregoing
monies there is also made avail
able under the act the following
allocation to counties of Federal
Aid Secondary funds in the sum
of Eight Million Seven Hundred
Thousand Dollars and to the cities
under Federal Aid Urban Funds
In the amount of four Million Nine
Hundred Thousand Dollars which
monies must be matched by the
counties and cities on a 50-50
basis.
Again I say, there is an urgent
need at the present time to find
a way in which these monies may
be matched by the counties and
cities. For if they are not then
as I stated before, we the people j
of Nebraska will forfeit these
funds not matched to some other ,
state, this we surely cannot afford |
to let happen.
Of our present State Highway
System I believe we must strive j
and make it our goal to dustless i
surface all our highways and bring
them up to present day standards
and in so doing will ultimately
accomplish the following:
1. Reduce our traffic deaths
due to the hazards now en
countered on. our present
dirt and gravel roads.
2. Reduce maintenance cost
which in turn will make
more monies available for
more construction and im
provement.
3. And for the economic values
and your convenience and
driving comfort.
Today it is my belief that we
are on the threshold of some im
pressive doings in the highway
field. Each year with the excep
tions of war years, the pressure
has built up for a realistic pro
gram to correct the ever mounting
deficiencies on our streets and
roads. Since World War II the
Better Road Movement has been,
greatly stimulated by the unpre
cedented growth in the automo
bile and truck population. More
and more vehicles ' have been
crowding our “horse and buggy"
roads and our narrow and highly
inadequate city streets, the re
sult being a great loss of human
lifes and an economic loss which
runs into the billions of dollars.
There is a need at this time at
the Veterans Administration Hos
pital, Omaha, Nebraska, for per
sons qualified for the oo-dtion of
Dental Assistant, $3175.00 per
year.
Employee benefits include sick
and annual leave privileges, low
cost life insurance, an excellent
retirement plan, standard 40-hour
work week, and periodic pay in
creases based on satisfactory
service.
Persons interested in any of
these positions should get in
touch immediately with the Civil
Service representative at th local
Post Office for applicaion blanks
and further information.
Tolerance is the quality that
keeps a new bride from reforming
her husband right away.
