Gadget To Wipe Off Paid Parking Meter Time Under Experiment in San Francisco
MAKING FORMAL CALL on Egyptian President Nasser
before departing for Washington, U. S. Ambassador Rav
mond Ildie ileiu, is given warm welcome. They discussed
-Ei.-pnhoiver doctrine for Mid-East" which President Xas
scr later openly criticized. (International Soundphoto)
San Francisco .U.RJ The city I enough to gladden the heart of
fathers here have come up with I any bureaucrat.
The gadget is the product of
John E. Jones of Culver City,
Calif. It sells for $45 and is be
ing distributed by George A
Jarrett, sales manager for Traf
fic Master Co. Jarrett has of
fered to install the devices at
his company's expense and let
the city pay for them out of the
extra revenue.
It works like this: When
motorist pulls into an empty
parking space he covers an elec
tric eye set about two and one
half feet from the curb. He de
posits his nickel in the parkin
! a diabolical scheme to outwit
motorists by cramming more
j than 60 minutes into the hour.
Lying on the desk of Chief Ad
j ministrator Thomas Brooks is a
I plan of immediate danger to. San
Franciscans and future concern
to every man and woman across
the country who has ever
sponged on a parking meter.
Behind it all is a photo-electric
eye called "Traffic Master."
The gadget is designed to
erase those extra minutes left
on the parking meter when the
motorist who puts his nickel in
for a full 60 minutes pulls away
oetore tne nour is up.
In the first tryout in the na
tion, San Francisco installed 50
of the gadgets in a neighbor
hood shopping area for a 12-day
period. Revenue from the meters
jumped 37.5 per cent.
Jump for Joy
The city fathers jumped too
with joy. San Francisco grosses
more than SI million a year off
parking meters and the pros
pect of an additional $370,000 is

Minister Preaches
Own Funeral Rite
Johnston City, 111. flj.F!)
Elder Charles M. Weaver of the
Primitive Baptist church, here
preached his own funeral ser
mon today. .
The Rev. Weaver, a minister
of the Primitive or "hardshell
Baptist sect for 62 years, died
Tuesday at the age of 89 after
a heart attack.
One of the elder's desires in
recent years was to say the last
words over his own body as
windup to his career.
Seven years ago he made pre
parations for the funeral by put
ting a 13-minute sermon on
12-inch record.
Weaver's widow, Alice, and
furneral director Roland Mur-
man arranged to play the record
at today's service. Both have
heard the sermon before.
Mrs. Weaver said the record
is "almost as if he were preach
ing someone else s funeral.
Weaver started the oration
witnout any Introductory re
marks and . hardly mentioned
himself anywhere in the ser
mon which runs through both
i sides of the record.

"Traffic Master indeed. They
should call it Traffic Monster."
