Artist's conception shows Apollo Command/Service Module (right) Although more than 41 million women in America sew, few of them realize how their stitches in time have helped our country's race with Russia to the moon. The boom in home sewing, still going on, has led to so much expansion by America's leading sewing machine com pany that today, Apollo astro nauts count on the firm for over 50 different products and services. Even before the launch, astronauts rely for help on the Apollo Mission Simulator is the primary training system in which astronauts prepare for their round trips to the moon. huge, diversified firm that got its start by making only sewing machines. All astronauts prac tice their missions many times in highly realistic Apollo and Lunar Module simulators built by the Link Division of The Singer Company.

Singer provides equipment and services for almost all stages of the Apollo missions. simulator complexes in Houston and at Cape Kennedy. Other Singer ground sup port activities include furnish ing pressure and vacuum relief valves used to protect on-site fuel storage tanks from col lapse or explosion and pulse generators that are mounted in the launch tower as part of the ground checkout system. Flooding the launch site with light during blast-off of Apollo spacecraft is a battery of 50 searchlights produced by another Singer unit. This illumination provides lighting intensity, color definition and reliability for the complete filming of Saturn V launches. Once in space, other Singer products play starring roles. Virtually all major segments of the Apollo booster and modules contain components or systems designed and built by a Singer division. Typical of the high-precision equipment assisting astronauts during their space journeys is electro luminescent panel instrumenta tion, a space-age "dashboard" built by Singer's Kearfott Division. Designed to meet rigid NASA requirements for lighting in a darkened space cabin, the panel glows to pro vide a clear display of flight information. The astronauts even rely on Singer for their de-ionized drinking water, which is con trolled and dispensed by an American Meter Division stain less steel water meter. Back on Earth, the progress of the all-important return trip is monitored by Singer-built Lunar landscape depicted in mural at the American Museum-Hayden Planetarium.

Interestingly, The Singer Company, which in eleven years has evolved from a sewing machine manufacturer to a science-oriented producer of a diversity of products, has also been called upon to apply its historic capability. Singer sewing machines are used to sew the space suits worn by astronauts on the Apollo mis sions. North Carolina Teachers Unit Suspended by National Ass'n WASHINGTONOThe execu tive committee of the National Education Aaaociation (NEA) voted Friday to temporarily suspend the North Carolina Teachers Aaaociation, its Negro affiliate in that state. The action follows rejection by the North Carolina Teachers Association on May 30 of a proposal for unification with the white North Carolina Aaaociation (NCEA), another NEA affiliate. The white aaaociation over whelmingly approved merger with NCTA in balloting June 6. UNEXPECTED CANADA DRY Where the Unexpected is Expected Unexpectedly, you're a blooming genius, and your favorite flowers do old things in new ways. Plant, a row oT tulips in a window box or in your garden, and add a little plant food to every other one. The result, unexpected by people who don't know how you did it, is that every other plant will be taller than the ones beside it! Or, start clips of ivy in water until they take root, then plant them beside a tree so you have an ivy-covered tree. Hang some ivy in the halls at home and you'll have halls of ivy! Just as Canada Dry didn't expect its ginger ale to become such a favorite with so many, a young singer with an unusual manner never expected what would happen when he tried to get onto a popular TV amateur hour. The people who gave the audition, knowing "real" talent when they saw it, let the boy down gently, "knowing" per fectly well he'd never made the grade as a professional. Unexpectedly, the youth went on to sing and wriggle his way around the world. Throngs cheered him.

Negro leader Roy Wilkins said Sunday reports of a softening of school desegregation guidelines sounded like a "dear by the Nixon administration to win enough Southern votes for passage of the tax surcharge. Wilkins, executive director of Wilkins, executive director of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, said President Nixon was having trouble getting enough votes to extend the surcharge "and the only way he can get those votes is to make some inroads" into the Southern bloc of votes. He said one way to get enough votes waa to tall Southern congressmen "that you're not going to have the federal government interfering with your school districts in the South. "It begins to look like some kind of deal," Wilkins told a news conference prior to opening of the NAACP national convention here. He expressed hope Southern congressmen would not be swayed by an appeal to ' racism" and "jump over and vote for" the surcharge on that basis. Wilkins also termed "hostile" the Nixon administration's pro posal for modifying and extend ing the 1965 Voting Eights Act and expressed concern over a "swerve toward ultra-conserva tism" in the nation.
