Why not drop Durñingers Pan Gold in California While visiting in southern Cali- fomia, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Dur- flinger of Route 1. Cottage Grove, panned real gold nuggets in the gold mine at Knott’s Berry Farm and Ghost Town at Buena Park. With the aid of a helpful old prospector, the Durflingers finally extracted some actual gold from the mine but found that panning gold as the '49er did is no easy task. The old prospector accompanied them on a trip through the real istic ghost town, an exact replica i of a boom town in the gold rush ’ days of ’49. Along creaky board-' walks, held down by foot-polished square nails, the Durflingers re lived the colorful history of the old West when they discovered the Silver Dollar saloon, general mer chandise store, and many other buildings, all on free exhibit, I which were typical of the places where miners spent their hard earned gold dust.

So says Dr. Charles E. Dutchess, medical director of Schenley Lab oratories, Inc., and an authority on geriatrics, the science of aging. Dutchess reports that the life- j span of Oregon residents, based ' on latest government and insur- ance company figures, has been lengthened by more than 11 years since 1920. A girls born in the state today, he says, has a life expectancy of more than 73—over two years alcove the average of the country's female population. And a boy baby , in Oregon can expect to live to 66 about a year above the na- i tional average for males. Nebraska is the nation’s leader ' in longevity, followed closely by South Dakota and Minnesota.
