Flint Branch NAACP
Speakers Established ~

The Flint Branch of the N.A.A.C.P. announced

week the establishment of a

organization. A number of qualified officers and members;
of the branch are available to speak to clubs, ch
and service organizations, regarding the prog!

jectives of the N.A.A.C.P.

The N.A.A.C P appears in the
news frequently in connection
with Tegal cases brought. before
the U: S. Supreme Court, in orGer. to secuie equal educational |
facilities for Negroes and equal
job opportunities; to protect the
right of Negroes to vote in. the
South; and to protect the person |
and property of Negroes. Mis-,
information and lack of information exists regarding the objectives of the N.A.A.C.P.

There is sometimes deliberate mis-interpretation of ils
goals. We feel that a speakers
bureau will fill an exisiting
need for greater communication between various segments of the community and
will be heelpful in bringing
about racial understanding
and harmony.

The roster of speakers from
the Flint Branch who are available free of charge includes Dr.
J.. L, Leach, National Board
mémber; Herman Gibson, president; Attorney Eligha Scott,
cha:rman of the Legislative
Committee of the Branch; Leo
A. Greene, Chairman of the Educa~ion Committee; Mrs. Lola
Gibson, Chairman of the Publir
Relations Committee.

Do The Laundry

A revolutionary new washing' principle that washes
clothes. cleaner but uses less water highlights the new combination washer-dryer now being introduced: in local Sears,

~The convenience of a com
-| bination unit like the ~Turbo
Matic is obvvious,~ stated E. A.
Tallberg, local Sears store manager. ~The homemaker~ can
place soiled laundry in the unit,
turn it on, and forget it. The
unit will automatically wash
and do everything quickly and
safely. The effort of~ transferring wet clothes from washer to
separate d is eliminated.~
Only the] enmore ~TurboMatic~ wa ~clothes out of
water but not without water,~ Tallberg pointed out.

~The housewives will even
use it as a clothes hamper and
simply turn it on when sufficient laundry accumulates.~

The new washing action of
the ~Turbo-Matic~ was explained by Tallberg as much
more thorough than. previous
methods, and also uses much
less water.

The main ~components of the
unit are a specially constructed
water reservoir in the base
which automatically controls
water usage, and a newly-designed cylinedr which activates the clothes while using
the minimum amount of water.

The,resevior saves water by
controlling water flow so that
small amounts are.used for
smalll loads of laundry, and
greater amounts of water are
used for larger loads.

Clothes are rotated in the cylinder in a tumbling action and
ere saturated with water and
detergent by a powerful jet-like
stream.

Every particle of dirt i is forced
out of the clothes by this com| bination of ~controlled impact,
the penetrating stream of sudsy fater, and the turbulant ac-: = that flexes every fiber of
lothing.

Other features include a
