INTRODUCING
NEWS IN
THE MOTHER
TONGUE
For Black people, the mother tongue is the
same all over the country. It's the unique
way we have of expressing ourselves.
That’s one of the reasons the National
Black Network saw the need for a
national Black news service.
What do we call Black news? It’s simply
news reported by Black people, edited
by Black people, and affecting the lives of
Black people.
That’s the National Black Network-a vital
communications link between Black
communities everywhere.
It’s a bet that when you listen to an NBN
station, you’ll know where it’s coming from.
After all, it’s carrying your news.

$ MONEY $ SAVING TIPS
FROM DURACLEAN
"Flower - Fresh" Care of Carpets
and Upholstery
If yuur family is typical, your
carpets and upholstered furniture
represent one of the three biggest
investments you will make. Yet
what takes more punishment?
Spills, tracked-in dirt, even the air
you breathe are constantly at work
to shorten the lifetime of your
precious furnishings.
But the battle can be won,
however. You can actually add
years to the life and beauty of your
carpets and furniture if you
understand a few basic concepts of
soiling and of soil removal.
Essentially, there are two types
of soil that must be controlled by
different measures* One type is the
loose, gritty soil that is tracked in
from outside. Each of these soil
particles has many sharp edges
which grind away at the carpet pile
or upholstery fabrics under
ordinary use.
Fortunately, this abrasive soil
can be controlled by frequent
vacuuming plus periodic
deep-suctioning by professional
cleaners.
The second type of soil is the
homemakers. It's the "atmospheric"
soil that floats in the air and comes
from cooking, exhausts, chimneys,
and other sources,
Duracleans employs a special
absorbing foam which cleans
carpets and furniture without
soaking or mechanical scrubbing.
Special equipment heatsand aerates
chemical solutions into a
highly-absorbent, semi-dry foam
which is applied by hand and
removed quickly by warm natural
sponges, leaving furnishing "flower
fresh" and really clean.

furniture maintenance calf Lionel
