THURSDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1959 THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA PAGE THREE HALF-PAST TEEN How To Decorate The Nursery J An anticipated labox* of love for every young-mother, and father, too, for that matter, is decorating the new nursery, whether it’s baby’s own room or just a corner of a bedroom. Sometimes, though. it takes a bit of imagination and ingenuity to keep the cost of nur sery furnishings from running away with the pocketbook. There are some interesting and inexpensive devices such as babyland char acters made of easy - to - apply vinyl that can be used to decorate a nursery wall, baby’s crib, play- pen or high chair. Or dress up a plain lamp shade with these picture-book cut outs that include a whimsical cow, rabbit, bear, goose and kitten. They’ll be famil iar to baby as they are the same as those that appear on cereal boxes. Another way to avoid cutting too wide a swathe in the budget is to scout attics or second-hand shops for a crib and a chest of ; drawers for baby, and a comfort- , able chair or rocker for mother. Thoroughly scrubbed and given a coat of fresh, non-lead type of paint will make them look brand new and turn them into a pleas ing nursery ensemble. Still another useful but easy- on-the-pocketbook idea is to enamel an ordinary wicker tray or basket with handles to hold all the assorted necessities for baby’s ^ath. It can be lined with a turk- ish towel and separated into com partments by using the side pan- i els of a sturdy cardboard box; These ideas, plus a few inex pensive additional touches, like a whimsical night light and such will make a charming nursery for baby and his visiting admir ers. And the money you didn’t spend, on expensive furnishings ! can go into his bank account for future use. „or tost THOUGHTS GEE THAMKS, /41/AJT maiztha ! - look, mom - ISN'T THIS NICE ? 3ut uers wee it.

CO BY CHEVROLET S-' C/> CO Here’s the car created to con quer a new field—Chevrolet’s low-priced compact Corvair. The product of nine years of research and development at the auto industry’s most ad vanced facilities, it’s Ameri ca’s first truly compact, eco nomical car that retains the ride and 6-passenger comfort you’re used to in a big one. The key to this small miracle: America’s first and only modem rear-mounted alumi num engine—a lightweight 6 that’s so revolutionary it can be packaged with the trans mission and drive gears as one compact unit. By putting the engine in the rear, Chevrolet has made the floor practically flat, front and rear. There’s plenty of foot room for everybody, in cluding the passengers in the middle. Shifting engine weight to the rear also makes for smoother, easier compact car handling and gives glued-to-the-road traction on ice, mud or snow. Corvair’s size—some 5 inches lower, 2 feet shorter and 1,300 pounds lighter than conventional sedans—makes it a joy to jockey through busy streets, a pleasure to park (no need for power assists). Its revolutionary Turbo-Air 6 gets up to 30% more miles on a gallon of regular (a real magician on mileage). And, because the America's only car with an airplane- type horizontal engine! America’s only car with independent suspen sion at all It wheels! America’s only car with an air-cooled aluminum engine! The engine’s in the rear where ii belongs in a compact car! STYLING—l*URE AMD SIMPLE Clean, uncluttered lines shape both 4-door models—the de luxe Corvair 700 and the standard Corvair. Each has its own dis tinctive trim, and you get more visibility area than in many full-sized cars. FOLD-DOWN REAR SEAT* Works easily, instantly, adding to Corvair’a versatility by enlarging rear seat cargo space to 17.6 cu. ft. FLAT FLOOR Corvair is America’s only com pact car with a practically flat floor, the only one with the kind of relaxing room that UB. motorists are used to. Does away with conventional frame, incorporating all struc ture into a rigid body-frame unit that gives you more makia room with less weight. UNDER-HOOD LUGOACE COMPARTMENT Trunk’s up front (like an ele phant’s) where it’s convenient for groceries, luggage. 4-WHEEL I engine’s air-cooled, you never have to fuss with antifreeze, you get quicker warmup with Less wear on parts even on the coldest mornings (even heat for passengers comes quicker —almost instantly—from an airplane-type heater*). Yet, wonderfully practical as all this sounds, you’ll find the most practical thing of all about this new Corvair is its remarkably low price. Your dealer’s the man to see for all the short, sweet details. REVOLUTIONARY TURBO AIR « Gets up to 30% more miles on tt gallon, needs no antifreeze, >vides quicker warmup with wear on parts. Wraps rear engine, trans mission and differential together into one compact lightweight unit. Takes leas room, leases you more. There’s no conventional axle— front or rear. Wheels, cushioned by coil springs, take bumps in dependently of each other, for smooth, road-hugging ride. *Optiomal at extra coat Corvair BY CHEVROLET IV—Pat C/> See your local authorized Chevrolet dealer SHORT AND SWEET!

It’s almost, but not quite, the feeling that comes in the spring, when the weather has warmed enough to invite the first cast of the season. But the weather now is cooling. The night comes earlier, and lasts longer. The angler has a double reason for stepping up his fishing activity. The time of year that most experts consider the best season of all has arrived; the end of fishing for another year (for all but the hardy, cold weather enthusiasts) is but a short time away. Many bass fishermen, particu larly in the South, will tell you that September and October are the best months of the year. This is the time for the big ones. In the early, slightly chilled stillness of the hour after dawn, lake wa iters are quite and placid. But pthere, in the shallow depths, [lurks a lunker largemouth, ( idly ^watching and waiting, scanning .the waters above his hiding tplace with, a practiced eye. Then ihe charges out with tremendous [speed. The still surface of the .lake seems to explode in one sud den burst that might mean the ; end for a luckless insect, a care- iless frog, or, perhaps, Mr. Bass himself should the object of his attentions be a hunk of wood and a few hooks stoutly attached to a length of monofilament. September, October, good times to be fishing. Time to do all the fishing a fellow can find time for. Soon the rod and reel will be put aside for another season and the shotgun or rifle [will take their place. ) Regardless of the time of year, there’s always a “season” open to the sportsman—for monotony is a word that is unknown to him. Perhaps this is why he is general ly a most happy fellow. FfeKE OFF WITH THE CLAfrttRtP SECTION OF MY NEWSPAPER — // y s> BIRDMAN . . . Shooer enough, Otto D.
