The contribution was received by the Association this j week. Another large sum, of $6,000,: was received by the Association! during the past week, representing funds collected at an NAACP rally in Los Angeles, California. The money was sent in by the Los Angeles NAACP branch. A letter signed by Walter P. i Reuther, president of the UAW CIO and of the Congress of Indus trial Organizations, accompanied the union’s check. Pointing to the Emmett Till lyn ching and “other violations of civil rights and civil liberties which have occurred in Mississippi in recent months.” Mr. Reuther’s letter declared: “ In the months ahead, in view of the present de velopmnts our country will be faced with perhaps the most criti cal period in its history in the field of civil rights and civil lib erties.” Mr. Reuther said the UAW-CIO is donating the $5,000 “with the conviction that it will, in a meas ure, assist the NAACP in its cour ageous and untiring efforts to ward the achievement of an A merica in which the civil rights and civil liberties of every individ ual will be secure.” The UAW-CIO international executive board on October 30 is sued a statement calling for prompt enactment of legislation at the opening of Congress to pro vide for immediate intervention by the U. S. Justice Department’s criminal division in cases of civil rights violations. The statement cited the recent murders of three Negroes in Miss issippi including 14-year-old Em mett Till, as “crimes against dem ocracy and humanity,” as well as “a denial of civil rights and civil liberties of Negroes.” The UAW board blasted Con gress and the Administration for failure to act on civil rights, and announced that the international union will broaden its own civil rights program by enlarging the field staff of its fair practices and anti-discrimination department.

Homemaker s Budget Helper Flavorful ham chowder made with instant nonfat dry milk is a real stick-to-the-ribs mealtime suggestion and one that is so good it positively calls for sec onds. And once homemakers try instant nonfat dry milk, they call for it again and again for it pro vides high nutrition at low cost. Instant nonfat dry milk is rich in protein, calcium and riboflavin, the important nutrients of regular top-quality pasteurized milk, needed for good health. Only the fat and water are removed. Yet instant nonfat dry milk is so in expensive. A family-size package makes 12 quarts (three gallons) of nonfat milk for as little as seven cents a quart. It comes in two other sizes also—a one-pound package which makes five quarts and a pre-meastired package with three individual envelopes, each making one quart of nonfat milk. Instant nonfat dry milk mixes immediately, even in ice water. Just takes a jiffy to have nonfat milk for drinking, baking or for ! cooking as in our Ham Chowder recipe: Ham Chowder (Makes 8 servings) 4 tablespoons butter 2 medium size onions, chopped 2 cups cubed, cooked ham 4 cups diced potatoes 1 cup water H cup flour teaspoon pepper Salt to taste 1 quart liquefied instant Starlac nonfat dry milk Melt butter in 4-quart sauce pan. Add onions and ham; sautl until onions are tender and lightly browned. Add potatoes and water. Cover; cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until pota toes are tender, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle flour, pepper and salt over liquefied instant Starlac nonfat dry milk. Beat with rotary beater until just blended. Add to ham mixture; cook over very low heat, stirring constantly, un til thickened.
