chief claim to fame was not that
she cared for personal safety less,
hut that she loved her people
more.

for publication and for the mo-
yies. 1t will tell the world of a

portray her sacrifices and those
of her famed grandfather (Gen-
eraI- Ricarte), who, to the last,
lived the life of true Filipino
patriot. It will reveal the many
Incidents, still blurred by prox-
unity in time and space to the
events, that will vindicate Gen.
eraI Ricarte in his true love of
country, and Miss Dominquez'
war services to her people.

THE HISTORY OF THE COMMUNITY

Because of a resurgent interest in the establish

Three of his musical comedies
were long successes on the Lon

What may strike the reader In
this comparison is the similarity

Michael has been guarding the

ASS Deaths Reported
As U. 5. Traffic Toll
Moves Near Record
BY The Assoeiated Press

Traffic fatalities for the Christ
man weekend totaled 375 at 1870
o'clock (EST) last night and
were winging upward toward
what the National Safety Council
predicted would be new record
high marks.
In addition 81 persons died in
fires and 65 others in miscel-
laneous accidents, making the
total 507 from accidents of all
types.
Only four States and the Dis
trict of Columbia had states
clean of accident fatalities.
These were Nevada, New Hamp-
shire, North Dakota and Wyo-
ming. California led in traffic
deaths with "a, followed by New
York with %.
Toll May Exceed $40.
Traffic experts feared the final
total would go far above the pre-
dicted $40 traffic deaths for the
Christmas holidays.
The worst is still to come
unless" said Ned H. Dearborn,
president of the National Safety
Council. "Unless the shock of
the toll we have had already
brings motorists to their senses,
the death rate will be the fastest
OF any holiday to date.
Motorists still seem uncon-
vinced that Christmas can bring
something besides joy and gifts"
MI. Dearborn added. And we
have to remember that all those
millions who drove somewhere
during the early part of the
week end must return to their
homes, most of them likely
waiting until the last minute to
leave"
Normal Rate Passed.
The count for traffic and fire
deaths already had passed the
normal rate which might be ex-
pected on a given week end.
The Associated Press on the
week end from 6 pm. Thursday,
December 3, to midnight Sun
day, December 6, tabulated $40
traffic deaths, 33 deaths from
fires, and SO deaths from mis-
cellaneous causes.
The record total for any kind
of holiday was a four-day pc
riod over July 4. 1850. when the
total reached 1893. The highest
for traffic deaths only was a
four day week = end during
ChriStmastime, 1852, with a toll
of 556.
