Thanksgiving Holiday 
figures Smallest On Record
Final figures showed
629 Americans died in traffic
accidents during the four-day
Thanksgiving holiday, a figure
well below preholiday estimates 
of the death toll by the
National Safety Council.
The council has predicted
670 to 770 persons would be
killed on highways during the
peak travel period that extended 
from 6 p.m. local time
Wednesday to midnight Sunday. 

The lower holiday period
death toll is in line with a
year-long trend offewer highway 
deaths-even though there
are 3.8 million more cars on
the road and 3 million more
licensed drivers, a safety
council spokesman said.
He said a combination of
factors, including safer cars
built to meet the standards of
new federal laws, better
trained drivers, more miles
of safety engineered highways
and more awareness of the

problems of drinking and
driving, contribted to the
safer highway record.
About 1,000 fewer persons
will die in highway accidents
this year than 1969, the council 
predicted a 2 per cent drop.
Thanksgiving, 1970, was the
safest Thanksgiving holiday
recorded since the council began 
keeping figures for the
period three years ago.
National Safety Council figures 
showed 696 persons diedlast 
year and 764 were killed
in automobile accidents during 
the 1968 Thanksgiving
period.
At least 49 persons were
killed in fires during the 1970
holiday period and 61 died in
plane crashes including 47
who were killed in the crash
of a Jetliner at Anchorage,
Alaska, Friday night Severty 
persons died in other accidents 
during the period, bringing 
the total accidental deaths
to 809.

U. S. Proposes 16 Major
Passenger Train Routes
The
government proposed 16 major 
routes for a strippeddown 
national rail network designed 
to save the vanishing
passenger train. It said the
system would require only half
the current number of trains
and cut service by 15 percent.
Transportation Secretary
John A. Volpe told a news
conference the system linking
major cities would be operated
by the semi-public Rail Passenger 
Corporation created by
Congress last month. He said
he hoped it would allow cleaner, 
faster service plus a profit 
for the railroads.
The plan, which now will be
studied by Congress, the interstate 
Commerce Commission, 
various state authorities
as well as industry and labor
officials would be based on
these, route connecting socalled 
terminal cities:
Boston-New York; Washtagton- 
New York; BuffaloNew 
York; Miami-New York;
New Orleans-New York; Chicago-New 
York; Chicago-Detroit; 
Chicago- Cincinnati;
Chlcago-St. Louis; ChicagoMiami; 
Chicago-New Orleans;
Chicago - Houston; ChicagoSeattle; 
Chicago-SanFrancisco; 
Chicago - Los Angeles;
Washington-St. Louis.
Anthony Haswell, chairman
of the National Association of
Railroad Passengers, praised
the plan, but said the initial,
design should also include
links between San Francisco
and Los Angeles; San Francisco 
and Portland and New
Orleans and Los Angeles. He
said high - speed service
should be provided in such areas 
as Portland-Seattle, St.
Louis-Kansas City-and Los
Angeles-San Diego.
The number of trains to oPerate 
over each route and the
intermediate points between
terminal cities till must be

worked out. Cities hot named
as terminal or intermediate
probably will have to go without 
passenger train service
after the plan is put into effect 
and battles over which cities 
are left but were expect
ed. 

Volpe said he thought the
Rail Passenger Corp. would
"expand on these routes as
demand dictates," but that the
new schedule would be geared
to passenger convenience.

Boys Ignore Sign,
Bears Kill Cubs
The
signs were clear and polite.
"Our female bears are having
babies. They must not be disturbed. 
Please 'bear' with us."
If polar bears are frightened
when they have cubs, Detroit
Zoo officials explained, one of
their first reactions at the
first sign of danger is to kill
the cubs.
of youths
ignored the sighs sometime
Saturday.
They tore down the fence
separating them from Bertha,
the, polar bear who had just
given birth to two cubs, and
five other bears still waiting
to give birth.
by the intruders, 
Bertha immediately
killed her cub, too officials.

MODERN LIVING
BY BETSY PARKES
Many children today—and many adults—may not appreciate 
the conveniences made possible by modern technology. 
Researchers at Arvin Industries have provided the
following facts about plights of the past as compared to
present-day ease and Convenience.
American Indians used
puffs of smoke, released at
intervals, to send longdistance 
messages. The
braves who blanketed the
nation had no idea of what
was on the horizon.
In ancient times, the crow
of the rooster meant "rise
and shine" to inhabitants
of big cities as well as rural
areas. That was before the
world awakened to a new
era in broadcasting.
Ancient communication—
as deciphered today—was a
chip off the old rock. In
the Middle East in more
modern times, archeologists 
discovered and translated 
many deep thoughts
and penetrating
comments.
Stay-at-homes of the Middle 
Ages had to Wait for
wandering singers called
troubadours for entertainment. 
These singers, who
roamed from castle to
castle, provided notes of
good cheer.
Today, a powerful durable
accessory for bicyclyes—a
transistor radio—is inexpensive 
and has a built-in
reflector and electric horn
for cycling safety. Young
travelers can keep informed 
and entertained wherever 
they go.
For the businessman father 
whose travels take
him further than just
down the block, a supercompact 
AM/FM radio
with a built-in alarm clock
is- a welcome and surprising 
gift. It is almost the
size of the case of an
electric shaver.
The modern student can
carry, a new batteryoperated 
tape recorder into 
the classroom and capture 
the parts of the lecture, 
his ears might miss.
The solid state cassette recorder 
is about the size of
the average text.
Persons confined to their
homes today can enjoy a
trim, rich-sounding AM/
FM radio which brightens
the drudgery housework
and relieves the tedium of
bedfastness. It's a delight
to the eye as well as the
ear.

"Kifaru —
The Black Rhinoceros," 
a color special filmed
on location in Africa about
the black rhinoceros, will be
televised on NBC-TV Thursday; 
Nov. 12, from 7:30 to 8:30
p.m., NYT, as the first "GE
Monogram" special of the new
season.
Although the telecast's primary 
purpose is to show viewers 
what is being done by
dedicated scientists and conservationists 
to save the black
rhinoceros from threatened
extinction, it also succeeds in
painting a fascinating picture
of family life in the wilds of
Africa.
The family belongs to Dr.
John Goddard, a Canadian bi
ologist 
and expert on wild
animal behavior, who has
spent the past five years in the
African hinterland with his
wife Shelley and daughters,
Penny, eight, and Nikki, three.
Producers Irwin Rosten and
Nicolas Noxon of the MGM
Documentary Department followed 
the Goddard family for
weeks filming their activities.
Viewers will see Penny at her
studies, Nikki at play with
friendly animals and Mrs.
Goddard performing normal
household chores which
somehow are not so ordinary
in the African bush country.
But the main thrust of the
program is on Dr. Goddard
and his work with the black
rhinoceros. His studies and
experiments at the Ngorongoro 
Crater in Tanzania and
the Tsavo National Park in
Kenya are designed to expand
the limited knowledge about

the rhinoceros in order to
save the species from continued 
decimation and possible
extinction.
Dr. Goddard is searching for
answers to such questions as:
What is contributing to the
decline in the world's rhino
population? What can be done
to protect the species and
guarantee its survival?
"Kifaru — The Black Rhinoceros" 
— the title is taken
from the Swahili word for
rhinoceros — is one of three
specials being sponsored during 
the new season on NBC-TV
by General Electric Co. Still
to come are:

Five Fined

U. S. Population Gain
Seen As 25 Million
After
checking and double-checking,
be Census Bureau reported
Monday the 1970 U. S. Population 
was 204,765,770 - a
gain of 25 million over 1970
which will require the reshufling 
of congressional seats in
14 states.
The decade's gain of
25,442,595 Americans was second 
only to the 28 million
gained in 1950-60. But on a
percentage basis, the 13,3 percent 
increase was the second
lowest since the 7.3 per cent
gain of 9 million in 1930-40.
The final figures reported to
President Nixon were 4.5 million 
more than those contained 
in a preliminary count
Sept. 1, when the Census Bureau 
predicted that the final
count would be increased by
4 to 5 million after all military 
men, transients and rechecks 
had been counted.
Preliminary counts raiseda
chorus of complaints across
the country that some commutiny's 
had been undercounted, 
But Commerce Secretary 
Maurice Stans said
Monday that a recheck in 500
communities involving about
30 million persons showed that
total was accurate to 0.05 per
cent or five persons out of
every 10,000.
The population gain, combined 
with population shifts,
meant that five states will gair
representation in the House of
Representatives, while 
others will loss representation. 

California, the biggest gainer 
in population, will add five
House seats. Florida will get
three more and Arizona, Colorado 
and Texas will gain
one each.
New York and Pennsylvania
will lose two each, and Alabama, 
Iowa, North Dakota
Ohio, Tennessee, West Virginia, 
and Wisconsin will lose
one apiece.'
It will be up to state legislatures 
to make the adjustments 
in time for the new
apportionment to apply to the
93rd Congress which convenes
in January, 1973. If a legislature 
refused to redistrict,
it is assumed the federal
courts would under the
Supreme Courts "one-man,
one-vote ruling.
Technically, Congress
could increase the size of the
House, now comprised of 435
representatives, and thus prevent 
states from losing reprepresentation 
under the new reapportionment 
formula. But
the size of the House has remained 
the same since it was
increased from 386 to 435
in 1910 and mere have been
no proposals to increase it
again.
The President is required
by law to submit the Census
Bureau report to Congress
during the first week of its
regular 1971 session. Congress 
then has 15 days to act,
and if it takes no action to
change the number of House
seats, the existing apportionment 
formula would be applied
to the new population total.
With a 4 million population
gain California became the
nation's most populous state
with 20,098,863. New York
gaining from 16,783,304, to
18,287,529, dropped back to
second place.
Pennsylvania remained in
third place, but Texas moved
from sixth to Fourth, ahead of
Illinois and Ohio. Michigan and
New Jersey remained in
seventh and eighth places, respectively, 
while Florida
jumped ahead of Massachusetts 
to ninth place.

Absent Treatment
"Too bad about Mary and Harry—I 
thought they were going to
be so happy on bread and cheese
and kisses."
"So they were until Harry got
into the habit of getting alt of
them downtown."
A man managed to board a
street car the other day, after
a hot chase.
On regaining his breath, he said
Jokingly to the conductor,
"Suppose I'd slipped and lost a
leg-what then?"
"Oh," answered the conductor,
with unwonted politeness, "you
wouldn't have to do any more
running then; we always stop for
a man with a crutch;"

Wilkins Returns
After Tour
Back from
a busy five-day tour of units
of the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored
People in the Pacific Northwest, 
Executive Director Roy
Wilkins reported an alert, active 
and growing NAACP
membership in that area. The
tour took him to Seattle and
Bremerton, WASH., and Klamath. 
Falls, Oregon. He also
stopped in San Francisco on
his return to New York City.
Mr. Wilkins Jam-packed
program, Nov. 15-18, consisted 
of a series, of public
meetings, conferences with
local NAACP leaders, meetings 
with public officials and
community leaders, addresses 
before student group
and meetings with representatives 
of the news media.
In Seattle, the NAACP Pleader 
addressed a mass meeting
at the Garfield High School,
followed by a dinner meeting
with members of the branch's
executive board, and a reception. 
The next day, Nov. 16,
he spoke at the Shoreline Community 
College and later met
with some 80 journalism students 
attending high schools
throughout the county.
The Freedom Fund Dinner,
which he addressed in Bremerton, 
was packed to capacity, 
with the city's foremost

citizens as well as the rank
and file in attendance. Of the
day in Bremerton, Adele Ferguson, 
political writer for The
BREMERTON SUN, reports:
"Community leaders, Navy
brass and civil rights officials 
from all over the west
coast gathered here last night
to pay tribute to the man they
acclaimed as the most
outstanding and respected
black, leader in the nation.
"There were also just a lot
of plain people, black and
white, among the star-studded
crowd which jammed Norway
Hall to see and hear Roy Wilkins, 
executive director of the
National Association for the
Advancement, of Colored People," 
in an address that reasserted 
the common humanity 
of black and white folk.
"We belong to each other,"
he told the mixed audience
which included Rear Admiral
William F. Petrovic, commander, 
Puget Sound Naval
Shipyard and Rear Admiral
Patrick Hannifin, commandant, 
13 Naval District, and
many others.
In Klamath Fails, Mr. Wilkins 
visited Kingsley Field
where he was welcomed by
Col. Ranald T. Adams, Jr.,
4788th Air Base Group commander, 
and was taken on a
tour of the base. He met and
talked with Negro and other
servicemen on the base.

Congressional
Bribe Court
Action Asked
The Justice Department asked
the Supreme Court Monday
to decide whether a member
of Congress can be legally
prosecuted for accepting a
bribe without violating his
constitutionally protected
congressional immunity. It appealed 
an October 8 ruling
charges against former Sen.
Daniel B. Brewster, D-Md.,
for allegedly accepting $24,
500 to influence his vote on
Postal legislation.
In his brief to the court,
Solicitor General Irwin Griswold 
said the Brewster case
presents an issue the Supreme
Court specifically left undecided 
when it ruled on the conviction 
of former. Thomas 
F. Johnson, D-Md., on conflict 
of interest charge.
The issue, Griswold said, is
"whether Congress may constitutionally 
enact a statute
providing for Judicial sanction 
against a member who accepts 
a bribe for performance
of a legislative act, without
impinging on the rights protected 
by the speech orbate
clause of the Constitution."

Top Women Tennis Stars To Compete
The first series of tournaments 
ever arranged specifically 
for women tennis stars is
taking shape under the guidance 
of Gladys M. Heldman,
publisher of World Tennis
Magazine. The first tournament
will be the $7,500 Virginia
Slims Invitational of Rich
mond, Virginia.
Mrs. Heldman also announced 
that two more of the
United States' top 10 women
players have signed with her
magazine as contract professionals—Mary 
Ann Curtis, number 
3 in U.S., and Denise Carter, 
number 8 in U.S.
Eleven top women have
signed as contract pros with
World Tennis for $1 each. The
group includes seven of the
world's first ten women tennis
players. World Tennis is arranging 
the tournaments.
Making up the contract pro
group are Billie Jean King,

Nancy Richey, Julia Heldman,
Rosemary Casals, Kerry Melville, 
Judy Tegart Dalton,
Peaches Bartkowicz, Kristy
Pigeon, Valerie Ziegenfuss,
Mary Ann Curtis and Denise
Carter.
There will be a draw of eight
players in Richmond's Virginia
Slims Invitational with first
prize of $2,400.
In addition to Richmond, a
Virginia Slims Invitational will
be held in Chattanooga February 
12-15. Other cities and
dates will be announced as
soon as they are finalized.
Virginia Slims is sponsoring
the series of tournaments because 
"we're interested in helping 
promote top quality tennis
tournaments," said Steve Korsen, 
Virginia Slims' spokesman:
"We believe people will enjoy
seeing some the world's leading
women players."
Nearly all the top women
tennis players signed contracts
with World Tennis at Houston
in order to play for prize
money in the Virginia Slims
Invitational of Houston. Each
U.S. player was suspended the
next day by the United States
Lawn Tennis Association from
further USLTA non-open tournaments 
and from, national
USLTA ranking.
The new group does
not expect "appearance"
money, according to Mrs.
Heldman.

PRODUCTION DOWN
The Federal Reserve Board
report that industrial production,
a key barometer of the nation's
economy, fell by 2.3 percent in
October.

ABOUT
YOUR HOME
Are you sure that your family
is getting a balanced diet? A
well-balanced diet is essential
for good health. This is especially 
true if you're reducing or are
still growing.
The human body is a complicated 
machine that needs a wide
variety of raw materials to make
it work efficiently.
Vegetables and fruits are
stressed on any reducing diet
because they give you many of
the elements you need and are
often fairly low in fat-making
calories. They give you the all
important bulk and at the same
time valued vitamins.
Vitamin B2 is found in vegetables 
such as spinach, peas
and kale. Vitamin is derived
from green leafy vegetables such
as spinach and tomatoes. Tomatoes 
are also, a fine source of
Vitamin C along with oranges,
tangerines, lemons, grapefruit
and strawberries.
Vitamin A is found in vegetables 
such as spinach, peas,
carrots, asparagus and sweet
potatoes. Vitamins C and A are
damaged by heat. For this reason 
it's a must to include in
each day's diet some uncooked
vegetable and fruit.
Meat supplies the necessary
protein to rebuild tissue and
blood. Milk is often called the
"perfect food" and should be a

Do's And Don'ts

Officer Guns
Down 2 Boys;
One Is Dead
A
city detective exchanged shots
with two youths as he said
were trying to steal a bog.
A 13-year-old boy was killed
in the gun-fire and his brother 
was seriously wounded.
Jerry Campbell died about
eight hours after the incident
Sunday, and his brother, Laymon 
Campbell Jr., was listed
in fair condition. Both were
hit by a single blast from a
112 guage shotgun.
County officers aid, Coy
James, 40, who was hospitalized 
because he passed out
after the shooting, told them
he had shot the boys.
Officers said James told
them he saw the youths trying 
to take a hog and told
them to stop. They both shot
at him with .22 caliber single 
shot rifles, then fled.
James, who was not wounded, 
said he fired at the boys
and the younger Campbell was
hit in the head by the blast
while his brother was struck
in the back.
En route to a hospital,
James complained of feeling
numb, then fell unconscious.
County Lt, AI St. Lawrence
said the case was under investigation 
but no charges had
been brought as yet against
James. A coroner's inquiry
would be conducted as soon
as James and the surviving
Campbell youth were able to
appear, he said.

THE WORLD OF
ENTERTAINMENT
Since making a hit on Broadway 
and having done several

declaration after seeing
"The Owl and the Pussycat."
As Doris, Miss Streisand portray 
s an actress-model who adds
to her income in after-hour prostitution. 
Felix, George Segal,
feels duty-bound to expose her
to the landlord and without much
ado she is thrown out of her
apartment and in a chain reaction
loses her job as a model and gogo 
dancer.
"The film is the run-of-the-mill
