The 20-minute, color sound presentation has been shown four times in the brief period it has been available, Parsons said.

"Because we believe the people want to know the facts about our enterprise system and how it works, the Chamber of Commerce is taking this presentation to groups who request it," Parsons continued.

He said it tells in an interesting way what happened on the day business stood still, and there was no electricity, no water, no telephone service, and in fact, no business. The far-reaching effects this had on one family's life is unfolded as the narration develops, and facts such as corporation taxes and profits are brought forth. "To request a showing of the film, call the Chamber of Commerce office," he concluded. Assisting Parsons as members of the committee are Robert Evans, Dorothea Green, Janies Hallerberg, Rodney Loy and William McNamara.

Several basic differences will be compared in this message. Tubes require a heated emitting surface in a nearly perfect vacuum. Electrons travel from the emitting surface through the vacuum to a collecting surface. is needed to heat the emitting surface. Energy is also needed to force a flow of electrons through the vacuum.

In solid state devices the emitting surface is not heated. No vacuum is needed. The electron travel is through metal to metal junctions. In a solid state device, no energy is needed for emitter heating. With a metal to metal electron path, very little energy is needed to establish a flow of electrons.

Total energy requirements for solid state devices is much less than is required for a tube. The heated emitting surface in a tube gradually deteriorates and becomes unusable. The cool operating emitting surface of a solid state device has little if any deterioration. Long life can be expected. Also, no fragile glass is needed to contain a vacuum.

The chassis of the RCA XL-100 series of color TV uses no tubes. Tubes wear out, tubes run hot, tubes use a lot of energy. The XL-100 chassis is 100 Per Cent solid state. It runs cool and saves on energy. It also saves on service call expense.
