New Rehabilitation Policy Aims at Self Support and Land Grants
A new rehabilitation policy outlines loans and advances to help tenants stay on farms. It envisions small land tracts for gardens, a cow, and poultry to cover most living needs while a modest income supports repayment to the Nebraska Rehabilitation Corporation. Loans target viable plans with income exceeding costs, with terms aligned to asset life, and interest capped at 5 percent. The rural division urges farmers near quitting due to debt to apply, stressing community cooperation to provide housing, land, and jobs. Also notes social events and visits in Cheyenne and area, including club meetings and visits by residents and clergy over the holidays.

Evolution of Front Engine Cars Reduces Weight On Axles
A lengthened chassis moves the engine forward eight inches and positions weight over the front axle. Front and rear springs are more flexible to redistribute passenger weight, equalizing load between axles for a smoother rear seat ride. The redesign adds an eight inch bumper to bumper length, slant grill, flowing lines, wider bodies, larger tires, and V8 insignia on hub caps. Engine tweaks include slow crankcase ventilation to reduce sludge and a new camshaft. Internal expanding brakes with floating wedges improve stopping with less pedal effort and better cooling.
