Please let us say amen" to the
opinion expressed by Mr.. Richard
Egan in his why Try for Quality?"
His program, Empire, was one of the
most intelligent, realistic on the air.
We looked once at the Hillbillies and
could not stay with it for the whole
program. It may be we went beyond
the famous fourth grade, but we were
bored beyond description.
We are utterly baffled by the de-
parture of such programs as Ensign
O'Toole, which is delightful, has no
ak to grind, is adult and fine enter
tainment, while, at the same time
retaining such inane MASTERS as
Car 81, etc.l Wide Country, we
feel, is also good entertainment.

I agreed Richard Egan's portrayal
as Jim Redigo in the Empire series
was my family's favorite program
last season. Not only did he eStab-
fish a believable character in the
role of Redigo, but most of the stor-
les in the series were entertaining
and enjoyable.
It seems as though NBC has made
a big mistake by not permitting EN-
pre- to continue as a weekly hour
long series next season. Are the
tastes of TV viewers so immature as
to prefer the Beverly HillbillieS over
a really good show such as Empire?

cut off unless an improved
transportation planning process
is put into effect, officials said

Two major provisions of the

for county and city officials to
have more responsibility for To-
cation of highways.
The Washington area, in
Guiding Maryland and Virginia

list of the 214 metropolitan

instructions being circulated to
State highway departments and

Correcting this report, Mr..
Ellis said the 100 to rs vote
was in favor of an amendment
that opposed moving any en-
bassy Of any government into
the neighborhood, Russian or
otherwise.
This vote was taken by a
count Of raised hands, Mr..
Ellis said.
Then, the residents were
asked to ballot on the basic
proposal to bar the Russians
from Chevy Chase and Mr..
Ellis said the voice vote was
so overwhelming against the

count it. 1t appeared to him,
he said, that there were no
more than 10 voices in the
room in favor Of having the
USSR move its embassy into

When her disappearance was

Gould this, then, be the tradi-
tional story of a miracle which
attributes to an extraordinary
phenomenon the Intervention of
a power beyond that of ordinary
human beings? In the land of
miracles and among people who
believe in it, there is always the
story of an event in the midst
of supernatural circumstances
where a mysterious character is
prominent and which, as believ-
ers aver, is sent by a greater
power.
So far as the above incident
is concerned, Mrs. Tedrow's

to come, cannot escape its rela-
ton to a greater power that
must have given her this special
gift.

predicting the future and read

to lean on the science of palm

THE MODERN
MARIA CLARA

Let us assume that RiZal'S Ma
ria Clara had the characteristics
admired in women during our
herO'S time in the 18th century.
As cOrOllary, let us also adj
init that Rizal'S Maria Clara
was the typical, if ideal, Filipino
woman of that era; that upon
her were embodied the virtues of
Filipino wOmanhOOd of centuries
back and before the present:
their simple and, perhaps, rural
beauty unSpOiled and idOlized,
their devotion to family, country
and God, their loyalty to tradi-
tons even at the expense of
their own welfare and happiness.
They were talented and trained
and educated accordingly. These
are the broad strokes of our
brush as we attempt to paint
the Maria Clara of RiZal's time.
What, then, is the modern Ma
ria Clara as the MANILA
CHRONICLE I. S. EDITION
is patiently trying to find?
Is she still devoted to the
country of her fOrbearS and to
the national heroes who gave
their all for the cOuntry'S sake?
Is she still devoted to family,
country and God, and loyal to
traditions, her personal welfare
and happiness notwithstanding?
Is she still as talented as her
sisters of yeSteryears, trained
and educated according to her
special and native endOwmentS?
Modern times and circumStanc
es necessarily must have modi-
fled the characteristics of Rizars
Maria Clara to fit into cOntem-
porary SOciety-eSpecially so in
America. Now, she wears bath
ing suits at the beaches, expos
ing the beauty that Nature has
endowed her with; she goes out
with bOy-friendS unchaperOned to
enjoy the cool breeze of the sum-
mer evening as they admire the
beauty of the sunset or the glim-
mering reflection of the moon
on the CLASSY surface of the lake;
she drinks the popular soft drinks
with or without; she goes to
driye-in theatres with her date
to be benefited with the educa-
ti0nal materials of modern NOV

without chaperOns, and throws

form to the fast rythym of mod

Mrs. Lola TedroW
big business executive, Atty.
Dominador B. Ambrosio. Mrs.
TedroW made predictions for
persons in the higher stratum

How Does She Do 1t?
How does she do all these
things?
There must be an ingredient
of the mystic in all this con-
coction that plays with mans
belief in powers beyond that of
ordinary mortals. There must
be scholarship in that branch of
learning that has to do with the
lines of the palm of the hand
and the face and the structure
of the skull. There must be
more than passing acquaintance
with the relation of the plan
etary spheres to the birth-time
of human beings. There must be
other avenues by which the hui
man mind reads from the past

If this confession of Lala must
be taken with complete and abb
solute credence, the element of
mysticism or the gift of super
natural power from Providence
must be accepted. In this case,
an incident in Lala's early child
hood deserves due considera-
ton. We quote the following
from a magazine article about
Mrs. Tedrow:
Element of Mysticism
when Lala was born in
linus, Cayite, neither her moth
er nor her father had any ink
ling of the unusual gifts with
which their child is possessed.
Her mother died when Lala was
but 10 months old; her father
was First Sergeant in the Phil
ippine Constabulary and had to
spend most of his time at the
Quartet, where Lala incidentally
was born. Her care then was
entrusted to an old nurse.
There was an elder sister
who looked after her and two
brothers, too. That same sister
was the one who told Lala of
strange incident that happen
ed which seemed to augur her
extraordinary powers.
Zone day, according to her
sister, when Lala was but two
wears old she diSaDneared from
