Ginger Rogers, Rogue River's
Hollywood star, gained consider
able publicity in Oct. 17 issue of
Look magazine. In the magazine
several pages were devoted to
pictures of Miss Rogers and her
Rogue River valley ranch. Two
pages show the star's life his
tory in pictures and other pages
reveal the fact that she can
"farm, fish and ride as well as
act."
She is shown currying a prize
Hereford bull on her 1,082 acre
ranch near Medford, feeding her
chickens and turkeys, cultivating
corn, irrigating an oat field and
other pictures of her fishing the
famed Rogue and riding horse
back, with her secretary on her
vast acreage.
Miss Rogers purchased the
land in 1942 as a business in
vestment and partly a hideaway,
according to the article. Now
the ranch is worked on a profit
sharing basis with a partner. Miss
Rogers visited the ranch several
times during the past summer
and participated in a bond rally
in Mrdford during one of her
visits' here.
