Do you want a place where you can pet away from the rush and hurry of business life? A place to swim, fish or Just watch the greatest asset of Douglas County flow gracefully by? Perhaps In your search for this dream spot you have missed that section of the river below the forks on the Main Umpqua River. Little chance has been offered until now to secure any of this frontage. Hut you now have an opportunity to see and compare river lots at RASSMUSSEN HOLE, (some say the best Chinook hole above tide water) with others offered on the river.

I want to live and ad lib." Unique In Expressions And in many a mid-town bistro, he's more widely quoted than Shakespeare, Walter Llppmann or MIMon Bnrle. George dislikes stuffed shirts mure than anything In the world, and enjoys punctur ing them.

Reporting this, the Census Bur eau said two out of three of the new job-hunters managed to find work. So the number of employ ed also rose, reaching 59.619,000.
