But what about performance of vehicles actually in the hands of the average driver, operating in typical everyday driving conditions? According to a survey of 1,370 privately-owned and operated cars throughout the United States, vehicles of 1970s are running about twice as clean as models built prior to 1968. The survey, conducted by Champion Spark Plug Com­ pany, showed the following results: MODEL YEAR Pre-1968 1968-1969 1970 and newer AVERAGE CO EMISSIONS (At Idle) 4.7 per cent 3.8 per cent 2.9 per cent AVERAGE HC EMISSIONS (At Idle) 723 PPM 450 PPM 308 PPM Reason for the cleaner-running car, according to Cham­ pion, is the anti-pollution systems designed and installed by the car manufacturer. Due to these new devices, prospects for rapid improve­ ment in the nation's air quality are excellent. According to the Motor Vehicle Manufacturer's Association, 17 out of 20 cars now on the road have some form of emission control. Forty-three per cent have crankcase controls only, 33.3 per cent have crankcase and exhaust controls and 8.2 per cent have crankcase, exhaust and fuel evaporation con­ trols. As the older, non-controlled or not-fully controlled cars are scrapped, cars in operation will be emitting at only a fraction of present-day levels. The Champion tests, conducted in nine U.S. cities, showed that engine maintenance contines to be vital to keeping emissions low. In the Phoenix tests, there was an average reduction of 50 per cent in CO and 40 per cent in HC at idle after tune-up. Similar reductions in harmful emissions were noted in Denver tests as well. Other cities participating in the test were Dayton, Ohio; New Orleans, Louisiana, Chicago, Illinois; San Ramon, California; Norman, Oklahoma; Dallas, Texas and Mem­ phis, Tennessee.

Finding Security In Retirement Contemporary dwellings in plan­ ned communities are in growing demand by older home buyers, many of whom are thinking ahead to retirement. In the past, older home buyers, in the main, have tended to favor single-family homes of traditional or colonial design -- dwellings with ample lawn and landscaping. Contem­ porary styles were for the young home buyers. In recent months, however, a new trend has cropped up within "the older crowd." Home builders are finding that an increasing number of Ameri­ cans over age 50 share many4 of the same ideas about housing as their younger, under-30 counter­ parts. Builders report a strong demand from this group of more decorative, versatile and distinc­ tive dwellings, particularly for cluster homes. But they are not only looking for style -- they are also seeking planned communities with good facilities and activities geared to their age group. They are mature, active people who plan to stay active. For starters, they want golf courses, swimming pools and community centers. These are the same facilities that are being sought by the younger families and individuals. The demand for the total com­ munity concept and maintenance- free life style are rising extreme­ ly fast among these older Ameri­ cans who truly think young. Com­ munities that feature contempor­ ary homes with textured exterior materials blending in with the natural surroundings are highly favored by these older home buyers.
