Letter of the week: “I am a 16-
year-old girl who likes an 18-year-
old boy who works in the same
store as my mother. I have liked
this boy since Christmas, but he
doesn’t even know I am around.
Please tell me how I can get this
boy to like me.”
Getting someone to like us is
usually not too difficult a task if
we put our mind to it and the
formula for doing so is very sim
ple: be friendly, but not too for
ward.
Even in these modem times.
the wise young lady doesn’t just
walk up to a boy and say ‘‘I like
you.” This is much too forward
and, while the boy may be flat
tered, he is likely ■to decide here
is a gal who knows her way
around. He is much more im
pressed—and more likely to be
friendly to—a girl who smiles and
says, “hello” each time they
meet without taking any further
initiative. The fact that a girl
smiles and speaks is enough
to assure the boy that she likes
him and he will respond in a
friendly fashion ... if h 3 is inter
ested.
Quite often, most of us get the
impression that a certain person
isn’t friendly because they do not
speak to us. What we forget is that
we do not §peak to them, either,
and they might be thinking the
same thing about us. A smile and
a cheerful “hello” don’t cost a
cent, but they are invaluable.
They are magic keys that will
open many doors. To prove this,
we have to but stop for a moment
and think about some of the
friends that we like best. They are
friendly, happy people—we enjoy
doing things with them and just
being in their company.
As we choose our friends, so do
our friends choose us. A smile and
a “hello” has marked the begin
ning of many a long and lasting
friendship. •

FHA Loans Are
Reported
Loans made and insured by the
.Farmers Home Administration in
South Carolina during fiscal 1959
totaled $7,544,000, Edwin P. Rog
ers, State Director, announced to
day. This compares with $4,701,-
4)00 advanced in fiscal 1958.
Collections of principal and int
erest during fiscal 1959 on loans
outstanding amounted to $5,302,-
000 compared to $5,753,000 in fis
cal 1958.
As of June 30, 1959, the out
standing loans totaled $21,853,000
compared to $19,880,000 on June
SO, 1958.
There was in increase in the
amount of real estate loans made
-with insured funds and in the
amounts advanced for farm hous
ing and farm operating costs.
Farm ownership loans to im
prove and buy family-type farms,
enlarge undersized farms to fam
ily-size, and to refinance debts,
-were extended to 80 farmers for
$1,017,000 of which $285,000 was
advanced through the insured loan
program.
Loans for the construction and
repair of farm houses and other
essential farm buildings were made
to 332 farmers for a total of $2,-
958,000.
Operating loans totaling $3,-
525,000 were made to 2,800 farm
ers. These funds were invested
in machinery and livestock need
ed to make maximum use of land
and labor resources, and to pay
the cost of fertilizer, insecticides,
fuel and other farm and home op
erating expenses.
Size of the average operating
loan continued to increase in
1959, reflecting, according to
,Mr. Rogers, the effects of infla
tion, the need for the expansion of
family-farm operations, and the
adoption by borrowers of more ef
ficient but capital-requiring farm
management practices.
In fiscal 1959 the average initial
adjustment operating loan to a
borrower was $2,145.00. In 1958
the comparable figure was $2,080.
The number of loans of all types
made during 1959 totaled 3.215.
Approximately 4,745 farmers,
including those who were still us
ing credit received in previous
years, made use of the credit ser
vices during 1959.
More than 2,000 borrowers re
paid their loans in full during the
year.
The amount of credit extended
is determined after a thorough
plan of the farm and home opera
tion has been agreed upon. Farm
ers Home Administration assists
farmers in developing plans that
will result in the best land use and
efficient production of crops and
livestock. In addition, the County
Supervisors counsel with many
farmers that do not receive credit
from the agency concerning the
manner in which credit should be
used to make sound and profit
able adjustments and improve
ments in their farming operations,
the other credit sources available
to farmers in the area, and assist
when necessary with request for
credit services from other lenders.

Why we built two cars for 1960 ... ,
as different as night and day
On October 2—for the first time in Chevrolet's ^9-year history—you will be able to walk into your
dealer's showroom and see two totally different kinds of cars. ■ One is the conventional 1960 Chevrolet,
brand new in appearance’and more beautifully refined and luxurious than you can imagine. ■ The
other is unlike any car we or anybody else ever built—the revolutionary Corvair, with the engine in the
rear where it belongs in a compact car. ■ We'd like to tell you why we built two such different cars,
how we built them—and for whom we built them.
Why two kinds of cars? Because
America itself has been going through
some big changes in the past few
years. Our cities have been straining
at their seams. Traffic is jam-packed.
Parking space is at a premium.
And our suburbs have spread like
wildfire. People are living farther from
their work, driving more miles on
crowded streets. There is new leisure
time—but more things to do. There’s
a new standard of living—and more
need for two cars in the family garage.
In short, America’s automobile
needs have become so complex that
no one kind of car can satisfy them
completely. That is why we at Chev
rolet, keeping tab on these trends,
have had a revolutionary compact car
in the planning stages for more than
nine years.
Thus, when we decided three years
ago to prepare for production of such
a car we were ready to build it the way
it should be built. There was no need
for a hasty “crash” program that
would create only a sawed-off version
of a conventional car.
* That is why the two cars you
will see in your dealer’s showroom
October 2 will be two entirely
different kinds of cars. One is the
conventional '60 Chevrolet—brand
new in beauty, with new space inside,
new spirit under the hood, a new
feeling of sumptuousness and luxury
never before attained by any car in its
field. There is great V8 power linked
with new thrift, plus Chevrolet's
superb 6-cylinder engine. It is a
traditional car that comes even closer
to perfection—in silence, in room, in
ease of control, in velvety ride—than
any other car we have ever made.
The other is the Corvair, a compact
car that is astonishingly different from
anything ever built in this country.
It has to be—because this is a six-
passenger compact car, with a really
remarkable performance ... a car
designed specifically to American
standards of comfort, to American
traffic needs.
The engine is in the rear. Among
the basic advantages resulting from
this engine location are better traction
on a compact 108-inch wheelbase and
a practically flat floor. But to be
placed in the rear, the engine had to
be ultra light and ultra short. So
Corvair’s engine is totally new—
mostly aluminum and air cooled; it
weighs about 40 per cent less than
conventional engines. It is a “flat”
horizontally opposed six—so it is only
three cylinders long . . . and that
leaves a lot more room for passengers.
Another weight saving: like modern
airplanes, the Corvair has no frame;
the body-shell supplies it great struc
tural strength . . . it’s a welded unit
that is virtually rattle-free.
The ride is fantastic. But to get it
we had to design independent sits-
pension at every wheel; conventional
springing would give a compact car a
choppy ride. Right now we’ll make
one prediction: no other U.S. compact
car will ride so comfortably, hold the
road so firmly and handle so beautifully.
Now there are two kinds of cars
from Chevrolet—because it takes two
kinds of cars to serve America’s needs
today. If you love luxury—the utmost
in luxury—and if you want generous
interior space, breath-taking perform
ance, automatic drives and power
assists—then the conventional '60
Chevrolet may be your choice.
If easy parking, traffic agility and
utmost economy are high on your list
—then you should seriously consider
the Corvair. But the best thing to do
is to look these two new cars over at
your Chevrolet dealer’s ... take them
out for a drive. It may be that the
only logical choice for your family
between two cars like this is—both.
They make a perfect pair.
