Then, by all means, drive one yourself. ''Corvair’s steering is so light that at parking speeds it feels power assbted; it is so precise as to be absolutely without play, and it is fast enough to allow complete control over every situation.” —Karl lAuhigsen, Sports Cars Illustrated "Steers like a feather and is extremely quick. . . . This is a beautifully designed automobile, engineered by real pros....” — Tom Me Cahill, Meehan ix Illustrated "Most surprising thing to me outside of the excellent handling characteristics was the feeling of roominess inside. ... I didn’t have the sensation of driving a small car and the headroom was greater in the Corvair than in some standard size cars. . . .” —/.. II. Houck, Automotive News "So far as shopping goes, the Corvair is a housewife's dream. It’s small and easily maneuvered without any power steering, and so easily parked . . . it’s a lot easier to unload a cart full of groceries into a front trunk at the supermarket than it is into a rear one.” — Rosemary Francis, Popular Science "I want to state as firmly as I can that the Corvair handles as beautifully and is as safe as—if not safer than—any family car on the road today.” —Jim fl hippie. Car Life Tiiere is none of the typical whine normally associated with rear-engined vehicles. Inside the car, the effect is quite unlike anything we have ever experienced. It almost seems that there is no engine, and the general effect is so quiet as to be almost uncanny.” —John R. Bond, Road & Truck "No written word can suffice for the genuine pleasure that you will receive behind the wheel of America’s newest and most advanced contribution to trans portation. ... It is a great car.” — Don Stewart, Motor Life corvair by Chevrolet Drive it—it's fun-tastic! See your local authorized Chevrolet dealer for fast delivery, favorable deals.

The problem is becoming acute observers say, for two reasons— people generally are living longei because of new medical aids, anc Nebraskans have a better life ex pectancy than in the bulk of thr other states. Little has been done for the agec on a wide scale in Nebraska, othei than privately operated nursing homes. Some communities an sprouting homes for elderly people But the numbers of those reach ing retirement age is mushroom ing. The problem is acute nationally also, and the President has ar ranged for a White House Confer ence on the Aging, similar to pre vious ones on Childr\i and Youth Gov. Ralph G. Brooks has narner a committee and slated a statr conference on the matter sometime in early spring. Mrs. Ralph Brooks, wife of the governor, is aiding in the work She says the "myriad problems growing out of our aging populatior have grown like Topsy, often evolv ing slowly and quietly without out being aware of them.” Yet, she says, overall, the pro blems are developing rapidly and call for much greater attentior than they have received. Only by thinking about older people as live human beings car society help them achieve Ihe rich full life to which they are entitled during their later mature years, Mrs. Brooks said.

Records and Space Nebraska has a space problem But it isn't outer space The pro blem is crowded conditions in the Capitol where thousands of docu ments are stored in rooms by each of many departments in the sky scraper.
