Presidential Limit: Ten Years
Ratification of the Twenty-Second Amendment to the Constitution 
has been completed by the necessary number of states
and, as a consequence, tenure in: the office of President has been
limited to two elected terms or to ten years in case of succession
from the Vice-Presidency.
The Amendment does not apply to the present Chief Executive. 
It legalizes the rule which has been the traditional custom
since the refusal of, George Washington to take a third term.
it proclaims to the world that no individual is so indispensable
as to serve longer than ten years as the President of this Republic. 

While we are not inclined to much "regimentation" in the
Government of the country, preferring to believe that the people
have the right to the government they happen to desire, the new
amendment will probably be a good thing. It will remove suspicion, 
which has become somewhat widespread, that the multitudinous 
ramifications of the Federal Government, involving so
many federal employees, make possible a job-holding oligarchy
that tends to keep incumbents in office indefinitely.

MART OF THOUGHT
The perpetual miracle of nature
is being performed. It happens
about this time every year when
nature declares the handiwork of
God. The whole countryside is
shed cling, its brown and gray and,
donning bright green and chairtreuse. 
The evergreens are changing 
to a lighter hue. If there was
ever any doubt in one's mind that
there is a Superme Being, Spring
is the season to dispel that doubt
Who causes all vegetation to
emerge front layers of snow and
ice and blossom forth in a panorama 
of gorgeous color?
Flowers, more beautiful than
any botany-horticulturist has produced, 
grow wild in the fields
with no cultivation whatsoever.
The miracle of Spring, which is
something that each of us can
view without buying a ticket,
should make us aware of the insignificance 
of man in the broad
scope of things. Just look around
you at this spectaclar occurrence in
which you have no part and be
grateful to God that you live and

enjoy the breath and grandeur of
Spring.

later at Haskell, Oklahoma. Following 
her marriage, she and her father 
operated a small eating house
at Mississippi Blvd... (Jack & Jill)
but decided upon Detroit as their
future home. The deceased remained 
in Detroit as a permanent resident, 
becoming active in a number
of civic Organizations of that city,
Mrs. Scott was one of the key members 
of the Detroit NAACP Branch,
and was constantly being called upon 
to help in a number of crusades
to better the social and economic
conditions, of Negro citizens of that
highly industrialized center.
One of her great delights was
singing with one of the community
choral groups, stated Mrs. Amos,
who is also a resident of Detroit.
Mrs. Scott used her more favored
economic and social position in Detroit 
to be of real help, to underprivileged 
college students who
had to work their way through
school. Her home was opened to
many of these young struggling
collegians with Mrs. Scott being
fully aware that more often than
not they would not be able to meet
their obligations to her. "But that's
the "Mud of heart Mary had. . . .
even in a big and often unresponsive 
city like Detroit." all of her
sisters and brothers agreed.
Several Detroiters who had been
befriended by Mrs. Scott came to
Memphis to be present at the funeral.

Hearing Set

Founder's payroll call Thursday at
Morris Brown. And he assured this
reporter that he will appear in
court to answer the injunction.
In a long distance telephone conversation 
to Savannah late Wednesday 
afternoon, Sidney A. Jones
confirmed the fact of injunction
and gave this detailed version behind 
it.
At a statewide meeting of laymen
in Savannah Sunday afternoon.
March, 11, the group constituted a

committee to draw up the necessary
petition and have it ready to serve
on Bishop Greene Wednesday.
These include: Jones as the president, 
Donald Thorns s, Jesse Brinson. 
E, Shuler, T. Sampson, H. B.
Hannah, son of a late AME Presiding 
Elder, Mrs. Julia Sampson Hall,
also the daughter of a late AME
Presiding Elder, and Miss Rebecca
Dickerson, State Secretary of the
AME Laymen, who resides in Atlanta 
and R. R. Wright, Jr., norelation 
to Bishop R. R. Wright.
Jr." Questioned as to the next step,
in the event the injunction in overruled. 
Mr. Jones said:
"We know we are in for a hard
fight. But we plan to meet again,
before the April 6 hearing, probably 
in Macon. At that time we will
determine what our next step will
be."
Earlier Tuesday evening, Bishop
Greene, in Atlanta for Wednesday's
meeting and for Founder's Day,
told World representative that he
contemplated. "no immediate change
in the present administration at
Morris Brown, college."
He is a native Vicksburg, Mississippi, 
having attended the public 
schools there. He also attended
Alcorn, Shorter, Campbell colleges

and Wilberforce University. And he
holds honorary degrees from each
of these colleges and universities.
He was elected to the Episcopacy
at Chicago in 1928, and he has presided 
over the Philadelphia, Delaware 
and Alabama conferences.
Bishop Greene's assignment to
Georgia was made necessary in a
three-way shuffle in the Bishops
Council, which commanded Bishop
R. R. Wright, Jr., to Arkansas-Oklahoma 
and assigned Bishop William 
A. Fountain to the place vacated 
by Bishop Greene.
The shift came, as an aftermath
of the failure of Bishop Wright to
carry out a directive of the Bishops'
Council to restore Dr. William A.
Fountain, Jr., to his post as president 
of Morris Brown.
