A high school student survey
was conducted by the Junior
Chamber of Commerce in which
the students were asked to give
their opinions on what improve

made in our school and com

ions made were that we needed
improved roads, more recrea
tional facilities for youth, etc.

1940 only $63V4 billions.
Along with the rest of the
world, America has changed
radically since the turn of the
century, and particularly in the
last generation. The new prob
lems and conditions which have
arisen ever had an inevitable
impact on Government spending
and its composition. Today, for
example, national defense and

The cost of Government in the
United States Federal, State and

ly four times as fast as the en

riod of less than an average
lifetime, according to data com
piled by the U. i. department
the Census.
Whatever the precise relation
ship between the trend of living
costs and the rate of growth in

time to time, the record is clear
in one fundamental respect. Big
Government spending has always

By a striking coincidence, total

A wonderfully useful folding scat makes every
Corvair two cart in one. Just one quick flip and you
increase the higgage and parcel space to 28.9 cubic
feet And Just as simply, you're back to comfortable
six-passenger capacity. It's standard .equipment
. . . and extraordinarily practical.
Corvair does car-pool duty with the biggest
and best of them. Going to work or school or
out for the evening, you've got a genuine
six-seater. As for carting around piles of stuff
instead of people, just look at Cnrvair's Rlalion-
scilun loail spare with the rear seat folded. And
when that's full you can start on the trunk.
Corvair, you see, is no ordinary' compact
car. No others are so versatile, so ingeniously ,
engineered with independent suspension at
all four wheels, an air-cooled rear engine
that never needs water or antifreeze. You just
can't compare anything else coming out

one of the biggest in years, was
largely due to a jump of more
than $11 billions in Federal ex
penditures, combined with the
continued growth in outlays
which has characterized State
and local finances in the post

Impact of New Conditions
Indicating the extent that
Government has lived beyond its
income over so much of the past
half century, Department of
Commerce figures show a gross
public debt of $368 billions at
the end of 1958. Of this total,
84 per cent was owed by the
Federal Government. At the
