Do you know how easy it is to take corner with Corvair or park one? Turn this newspaper sideways and it will give you a pretty good idea. The wheel handles just about that easily.
 The Corvair's engine is in the rear, for not only greater traction, but more balanced weight distribution. And that's what makes the steering so completely effortless.
 The engine is air cooled, too. No radi- ator. No water or antifreeze. No boiling over or freezing up to worry about. It takes the weather and the terrain as it comes.

Numerous items of bushes
kept Palmer city councilmen in
their chairs until we'll past mid
night on Tuesday, with most
discussion revolved around a
complaint from Virgil Severns
and Carlos Driggars on what
they felt was an exorbitant
price for stretch of sidewalk
in front of their place of bust
ness.
The men had petitioned the
council several years ago for
a new sidewalk, since the one
in existence was slippery and
hazardous in winter.
The council at that time re-
ceived only one bid and &C
copied it. Following construc-
ton, the two were billed for
their two-thirds share of the
cost
Severns and Driggars asked
for an adjustment on the price,
saying they felt it was far out
of line with what construction
costs should be. Council mem
bers, split in their opinions, ar
gued that they could not re-
scind the action of a former
council and that the steps fol-
lowed were legal in calling for
bids and constructing the walk,
although several agreed that
the cost was high.

up the volunteers to go from
door to door.
The number of workers un-
der each captain may vary
from 3 to so, according to
locality. But we encourage
all captains to have at least
10 workers." she pointed out.
Some of the captains plan
to hold orientation meetings
which Mrs. Semler expects to
attend.
Much of her work, how
ever, can be transacted over
the telephone which will be
ringing pretty steadily from
now through March.
So many of the Svolun-
teers have young families
that the calls tend to taper
off in the evenings, at least
before the campaign actually
gets underway.
Though she likes to spend
as much time with her own
children as she can, Mrs.
Semler says she is enormous
ly fortunate in having as a
housekeeper an Irish girl who
came over last fall to spend
a year in this country.
Parker, her 6-year-old, also
attends Beauvoir School and
3-year-old Christopher is in
a cooperative play school in
which mothers are obligated
to assist only one day out Of
every three weeks.
Are They Musical
Do the youngsters show
any signs of being musical?
well, so far they just like
to sing and beat on things!"
laughed their mother. Ac-
tually, she added, her oldest
son went to Constitution Hall
last spring to pose for a cam
paign promotion picture with
drummer Fred Begun and
stayed through an entire Or
chestra rehearsal, which
seemed to fascinate him.
The s. month old long
haired dachshund who Joined
the Semler family early in
December also may be mu-
sically inclined. At any rate,
her name is "Cimbalina"
which, it seems, is the Ital-
ian diminutive for "cymbal."

Star Staff Writer

HN~NNN
One of Mrs. Ralph Semler's
first memories of Washing
ton was going to the Ma
tional Symphony Orchestra
office as a child to help stuff
envelopes.
Her mother, Mrs. Philip
Strong, whose own mother
was a Swedish concert pian-
ist, has worked for the SYM
phony ever since the family
moved here from New York.
And she used to take daugh~
ter Margot along when there
were chores in which small
hands could assist.
Since then Margot has
grown up, married, and is
now the mother of three
lively little boys.
But the love of the SYM
phony which she sort of alb
sorbed" from her mother has
turned her into a second
generation worker in the
ranks of the orchestra's vol
unteers.
After having served sue
ceSsively as Georgetown
chairman and vice chairman,
she is now the chairman of
residential. solicitation in the
National Symphony 1868 Sus-
tanning Fund campaign.
This means she's in charge
of organizing $500 volunteers
to go from door to door
throughout the Metropolitan
Area during the month of
March in an effort to raise
$4,000 in the symphony fund
drive.
It's a big job - especially
for a young mother of three.
Double Interest
And it helps tremendous
ly to have a husband who is
interested in the symphony,
too," Margot Semler said in
an interview at their home
in Georgetown.
Now a businessman, Mr..
Semler was once a semi
professional drummer and
trumpeter, and has happy
memories of the jazz festi-
walls he used to organize in
Paris while he was living in
Europe after World War II.
Like his wife, he also has
a more serious musical back
ground, being the grandson
of Horatio Parker, founder of
the Yale Music School and a
composer of distinction. Zone
of his grandfather's oratori-
cal Society,"
Though he doesn't play any
instruments now, Mr.. Semler
loves music and helps the
cause of the symphony along
by his patient understanding
when his homelife is newt
ably disrupted on occasions
by telephone calls and cam
paign crises.
Hes very good at taking
messages" says Mrs. Semler
who talks things over with
her husband as a campaign
develops so that he usually
knows what it's all about. He
even made a speech for her
once when, as Georgetown
residential chairman, she had
set up on orientation meet
ing. She was expecting Mi
chael, now 112, at the time
and didn't feel up to the
speech herself.
In organizing the 1868 resi-
dental solicitation, Mrs. Sem

Cane-C Cutting Time Again
At Hami|ton's Syrup Mill

Cane-cutting time at the Ham,
ilton farm in Hurley occasions
a social and economic activity
long considered extinct by most
town jewellers home syrup max
ing.
The Hamiltons, for several
years, have made syrup on the
farm with a horse-powered mill.
"This type of little family mill
was common so years ago."
Ellis Hamilton said, ''but you
don't see them much any more.
It puts out about 40 gallons Of
syrup per day."
Though the output Of the mill
is considerable, and the quail
ty first rate, the operation is
primarily social.
Neighbors and visitors gather
from miles around to picnic and
observe the grinding and cook
ing, and take turns feeding
the mill with sugar cane.
