Bremerton, Wash, heretofore
unknown to the Negro Americans
as a whole, will be put on the
map as we'll as on the tongues of
every civic minded colored person
in the United States.
Our goal is 1000 members. We
are sure of that We desire to
become one of the many valiant
little communities that have re-
solved TO create the necessary
strength to wipe out segregation
and discriminatory practices in
our midst.
Though a little later starting
than our neighboring towns, we
are planning to offer them stiff
competition.
The drive is officially one week
old and to date we have already
one-tenth of our quota.

Nylcn's Qualities Make II
Good Fabric for Parachute.

Thousands of nylon parachutes
are riding the skies today in every
type of plane. Nylons are being
worn by navigators, radio operators,
pilots, bombardiers, gunners, para
troopers and glider troopers. The
nylon chute is the flying mans lad
der back to earth when the plane Is
knocked out or can't find room to
land.
Out at Wright Field, in Ohio,
where the army air forces try out
the rewest developments, nylon has
long since been put through the
works, and came out with flying col
ors.
There is an old saying among air.
craft engineers that what aviation
needs is a material with no weight,
no bulk and infinite strength. Moth
ing in the world can fill that bill,
of course, but nylon comes closer to
it than anything else. 1t is very
light, occupies comparatively little
space and is strong, supple and
resilient 1t has also the quality
that can only be described by the
word "toughness." In this combina-
ton of physical characteristics, n.y.
Ion yarn is far better than silk ever
was.
Nyion has other properties which
make it valuable for parachutes.
