By Senators Jacobsen, Adler, Augustine, Coffin, James, Mathews, McGinness, Neal, O'Connell, O'Donnell, Porter, Raggio, Rawson, Regan, Rhoads, Schneider, Shaffer, Titus, Townsend, Washington and Wiener:
Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 28--Designating April 24, 1997, as "Collector Car Day" in the State of Nevada.
Whereas, The State of Nevada takes great pride in preserving its history, which is reflected by the hobby of restoring antique automobiles practiced by many of its residents; and
Whereas, As our country approaches a new century, it becomes increasingly evident that with the invention of the automobile, the life of every citizen of the United States has been impacted tremendously; and
Whereas, This legislative body salutes the inventors, tinkerers and dreamers who began with a covered wagon and participated in the evolution of the wagon into a hardtop, minivan and four-wheel drive pickups with air conditioning and cruise control; and
Whereas, Looking back to the genius of Henry Ford as he took the first step in making the automobile practical and affordable for the average man, we recognize how much progress has been made in the automobile industry as we reminisce over Henry Ford's comment from days gone by, wherein he stated, "You can have any color you want so long as it's black"; and
Whereas, The residents of this state become nostalgic over the classics of the 1930s, when those who could afford them drove Auburns, Cords and Duesenbergs, and remember the absence of the production of civilian vehicles during World War II; and
Whereas, Later in the 1950s, "woodies" became the epitome of class, Hudson Hornets dominated the NASCAR circuit, tail fins sprouted on everything and everyone "oohed and aahed" as Corvettes and Thunderbirds sped by; and
Whereas, The members of this legislative body celebrate the inherited blessing of the automobile, which has found a permanent place in the garages and hearts of all mankind, both in daily life and in leisure-time pursuits; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate of the State of Nevada, the Assembly Concurring, That the members of the 69th session of the Nevada Legislature commend the many residents who participate in the car clubs and automotive organizations in the State of Nevada in an effort to maintain the memories of our car culture and provide a reason to reflect upon the past and its many cherished memories; and be it further
Resolved, That April 24, 1997, is hereby designated as "Collector Car Day" in a statewide celebration of the automobile.
Senator Jacobsen moved the adoption of the resolution.
Remarks by Senators Jacobsen and O'Donnell.
Senator Rawson requested that the following remarks be entered in the Journal.
Senator Jacobsen:
Thank you, Mr. President, to you and through you to the members of the Senate. I have the benefit every morning of having a half hour to reflect on what I see as I drive to Carson City. This morning I was thinking back as to what I might say this morning concerning this resolution. I think it relates to "something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue." I think some of you relate to something borrowed and something blue although garters are not a real phenomenon today. I want to relate this to the automobile. Each and every one of us, sometime in our lives, had some kind of pet. Today, there are approximately 30 pets lined up out on the Mall. As for relating to something blue, when I looked at these cars this morning, only two of them and they had no blue license plates. I was really disappointed. Perhaps this is something for the car collectors to give thought to.
Certainly, this is a special day. I have to admit that I was hoping there would be more old-time cars displayed which would reflect on my age group. I was informed that there is a 1910 Oldsmobile displayed, a 1925 Franklin and a 1926 Rolls Royce. Probably Senator Townsend is more the Rolls Royce type while I am more the Model T model. The first car my family had was a 1917 Dodge Touring Car. It had canvas side curtains which were open most of the time. We would drive to Lake Tahoe by way of Kingsbury Grade. It took a half day to get there. At every turn of the road there was a water barrel since the vehicle would boil. The car had a vacuum tank on it so that it could only go up hill for so long and then the nose of the car needed to be faced downhill in order to re-fill the vacuum tank. The vacuum tank was in place of the present day fuel pump. The first vehicle I had was a 1917 Dodge Truck I picked up for about $10. I used this truck mostly for trapping at the time since it was high off the ground. One morning, I caught 22 skunks. I had skunks hanging all over that truck. It did not look too good and it smelled bad.
There again as I reflect back on those days, I recall the engine which was a four-cylinder which had small priming cups on top of each cylinder. When the weather was cold, you had to pour a small amount of gasoline in each of these cups, release it into the cylinder, in order to make the vehicle start. Once it was started, it would burn almost any fuel that would burn. I am sure some of you remember the Ford Model T. For those of you who do remember, it had four coils on the dash board. If you held one of those coils in your hand, put your fingers on the two contact points and had someone turn on the key, it made your hair stand on end. That was how the fuel was ignited. We do not think of these things today. We get in, turn the key, start the car and off it goes.
There is a great deal of heritage attached to old cars which even goes back further than that. On the ranch, I remember even before we had a car. We had horses and buggies. My mother and father used to go to dance in Fredricksburg, California, at the upper end of the Carson Valley. They would leave the ranch early in the afternoon in the buckboard. It probably took four or five hours to go the 15 or 16 miles. They would take all of the blankets off the bed since these German dances were usually during the winter. This was how they kept warm. They would come back home about the time the sun came up. I asked why they took all the blankets and my mother said you had to snuggle to keep warm. Of course, the horse provided some warmth. The heat from the horse served as a heater in those days. There again, I am losing the trend, but I wanted to show the importance of the automobile.
As I indicated, we all have pets. The car collectors pets are sitting out there on the Mall. Speaking of pets, I am sure all of you are reminded of some pet you had in the past. When I was young, I had a dog, a hog and a horse. All three were black in color. I called the horse "Blackie." With this horse, I could beat anyone else in the Valley. She was half race horse. Anytime anyone wanted to challenge for a race, I was on. The hog I called "Susie." I have a daughter named "Susie," but of course I did not name her after the hog. One time the hog delivered 20 baby pigs. She did not have enough faucets to take care of them all, so it was my job to transfer them from one faucet to the next in order to make sure they were all fed. The dog was called "Tip." He was a favorite and slept on the foot of my bed. He was so protective my mother couldn't even make the bed. As pets, you care for them dearly. One time, mowing hay, I almost cut off both Tip's hind feet. I packed him home and, with the help of my mother, sewed up the tendons and he walked around on his two front legs for a long time. But, he was a pet of mine and something I loved. Like all of you who have old cars, you have a great deal of love for them. They are a hobby and they are costly.
I think, if we don't preserve our heritage, we are lost. I want to commend those people who take the time to have old cars and love and preserve them. I asked Senator Raggio, this morning, where his T-Bird was. He told me it was in the garage, but I told him it should be on the Mall where it could be seen.
I would hope we all have time to look at these cars and that we would adopt Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 28. Thank you.
Senator O'Donnell:
Thank you, Mr. President. I do not remember about cars overheating, etc., but I am an old car buff. I have four 1967 Mustangs, two convertibles and 2 coupes. I have restored these cars and really enjoy them. I think the love of the car goes very, very deep. It is easy to work on these types of cars. It is just as easy to break them, too. We have a deep love for working on these cars. In fact, some of us would rather work on our cars than do other things.
This resolution making this Statewide Collectors Car Day is important because in Reno, we have one of the premiere auto shows in the world called "Hot August Nights." That show attracts an incredible amount of tourism to the state and brings in an incredible amount of money to the City of Reno and the state as a whole. This event started several years ago and has now become a gem for the State of Nevada.
In southern Nevada, I produced a car show called "Rocktober Fest." Hopefully, in the future, this show will also become a premiere car show. Last year on Fremont Street, we had an appearance by Chubby Checkers. I understand he also appeared in Reno at Hot August Nights.

What we are looking at is tourism using the collector car as a vehicle,
if you will, to bring in those individuals who love these cars, love to work on them and love to talk about them. So, Mr. President, I would urge support of this measure. I think it is a good measure and I am glad to see that it is a statewide measure. Thank you.
Resolution adopted.
Senator Jacobsen moved that Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 28 be immediately transmitted to the Assembly.
Motion carried.

MOTIONS, RESOLUTIONS AND NOTICES

Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 29--Commemorating the 50th Anniversary of the United States Air Force.
Whereas, The men and women of the United States Air Force have served our nation with dedication and selflessness over the last 5 decades; and
Whereas, The United States Air Force and its predecessor, the Army Air Corps, have operated with professionalism and distinction in the great State of Nevada since 1941; and
Whereas, The United States Air Force has defended the nation in conflict and served the cause of peace and freedom through humanitarian and peace-keeping operations around the world; and
Whereas, This nation's industry has provided members of the United States Air Force with the most technologically advanced weapons systems in the world; and
Whereas, The residents of the State of Nevada recognize the past and present contributions of veterans, retirees and those serving on active duty, in the National Guard and the National Guard Reserve and in the civilian ranks, who have been or continue to be affiliated with the United States Air Force; and
Whereas, The State of Nevada is hosting one of the largest celebrations of the 50th Anniversary of the Air Force, which will be attended by members of the United States Air Force and international members of Air Force organizations; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate of the State of Nevada, the Assembly Concurring, That the members of the 69th session of the Nevada Legislature do hereby commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the United States Air Force as a separate service and salutes the entire Air Force community.
Senator Regan moved the adoption of the resolution.
Remarks by Senators Regan and Neal.
Senator Regan requested that the following remarks be entered in the Journal.
Senator Regan:
Thank you, Mr. President. Currently, for the past week in Las Vegas, we have been celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the United States Air Force. Tomorrow and Saturday, there will be a Tattoo at Nellis Air Force Base at which time I will present this resolution to the base commander and the Chief of Staff of the United States Air Force.

Senator Neal:
Thank you, Mr. President and members of the Senate. I rise in support of Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 29. As being the only veteran of the Air Force in this body, I have a great interest in this anniversary. The Air Force has made a great contribution, not only to the defense of its country, but also a contribution in the area of technology and technology transfer. I can recall, in my early days of association with the Air Research and Development Command (ARDC), that we were dealing with a lot of things which were not on the market at that particular time. Many of the things we now take for granted such as the miniature radio and the advancements that have been made in communications such as utilizing the one-dial pickup of the telephone whereby you can be transferred to multi-state calls.
These were all being utilized by the Air Force in the 1950s and 1960s.
The forerunner for the Space Program, with which I was associated with at Holliman Air Force Base, at Alamagordo, New Mexico. We were there to get that program off the ground. The early stages of the development of the space program and the testing of the G-forces by humans were done at that particular facility. I can recall our first "sled ride" as they called it when we tested those first G-forces. I can recall visiting Colonel Stadt in the hospital and he looked as if he had been in a prize fight as a result of those tests. We also were there when the first ejection seats were tested and developed. We also saw, on the defense side, the work that General May did in terms of producing the long-range bombers and enabling those bombers to be refueled in midair. These planes were on 24-hour alert in the skies around the world. We saw how all of that operation occurred.
I remember visiting Offut Air Force Base in Nebraska. That was the headquarters of the Strategic Air Command (SAC). Even though I was not a part of SAC, being a part of the ARDC command you have the chance to travel. They had this facility where I saw this man in the map room. I asked him to draw the State of Nevada and pinpoint my residence. I gave him the quadrants and in a few seconds he pinpointed where I lived, the mountain range and everything else. We have seen this group of men and women do a tremendous amount of work in terms of aviation. The U2 plane became very famous at the end of the Eisenhower administration when Krushchev visited the United Nations. He made the statement that they had captured one of our pilots, Gary Powers. The U2 was actually built in this state, as was the SR71 of which there are only three still in commission throughout the country. The technology in those particular planes is something to be proud of. The SR71 can fly at a height of 12 miles and take pictures of the ripples in a bucket of water. That is the type of technology this air force has been able to produce. We did not receive much credit for that since we were known as the "fly boys." Those who fought the land war were glad to see our aircraft appear because they knew it would scatter the forces they were arrayed against.
I'm glad to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Air Force and hope that we will continue to have an air force and continue to have the technology transfer that we have had over the years which has contributed greatly to the advancement of this nation. Therefore, Mr. President, I would support the passage of this particular resolution. Thank you.
Resolution adopted.
Senator Regan moved that Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 29 be immediately transmitted to the Assembly.
Motion carried.
