“CORVAIR HANDLES BETTER, STEERS MORE EASILY, RESPONDS
MUCH MORE QUICKLY AND HOLDS THE ROAD MORE SECURELY
THAN ANY STOCK FOUR-DOOR SEDAN EVER MADE IN THE U.S.”
—Jim Whipple, Car Life
If you think were enthusiastic about Corvair, leaf through the leading automotive, sports and science
magazines and see what the experts are saying. 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

Nebraska Elders
Are Increasing
In Numbers
By Melvin Paul
Statehouse Correspondent
The Nebraska Press Association
LINCOLN One of the big prob
lems that will face Nebraska soor
is what to do with the growing
number of people classified as
"old" or "aging."
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.
Higher Education
The outline of a study of higher
education in Nebraska has taker

It was proposed to a committee of
state senators by Pr. Lyman Glen
ny of Sacramento, California.
The committee, headed by State
Sen Richard Marvel of Hastings,
slants Glenny to conduct the study
ami make recommendations to the
senators.
They would in turn study the
, Glenny report ami submit their re
commendations to the next session
of the Legislature,
Glenny has proposed a study
cover these areas:
1. Programs, enrollment and
population.
2. Student affaire.
3. Budding utilization and needs
4. Faculties.
5. The place held by the state in
financial aid to public institutions
; and its ability to finance higher
education through 1970.
6. Junior colleges.
7. State administration and con
trol dealing with coordinating bud
gets, plans ami programs.
8. Finances of institutions.
Marvel's committee was ap
propriated $30,000 by the last Legi
slature to make the study . Glenny
proposes to use people from the
institutions to be surveyed to cut
costs and said he may call in out
side eonslutants also.
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.
A committeee of state senators
is studying the fesibility of micro
filming records and destroying
originals m order to save room in
basements \ aults and offices. . i
There an’ already offices in the ; I
building's basement originally eon l
structed for storage, 11
The study is more than a casual ;
one It will require cheeking of
law !>ooks since many departments ,
are hy law required to keep some
documents indefinitely, others for
specific periods of time.
Even if there were micro-filming
on a mass basis, some records1 (
would lx* turned over to the State
Historical Society, the committee
headed by Sen Otto Liebers of
Lincoln, was told.
The committee was informed
Ix’st guesses are Si' to 90 per cent
of vault space could lx’ sa\ed by
micro-filming. There would also
i lx’ savings in above-the-basement
offices where many records now
are kept.
Some documents now preserved
in the statehouse date back to the
1850s.
I.eglslatlve t'ouneU
The executive board of the legi
slative Council says it doesn't feel
at this time that a committee of
! state senators should investigate
the highway department. The
; board's ruling came after contro
versy over the Interstate Highway
