It takes rare, fine, pure water, coupled with
premium grains and hops and the patience and
skill o the master brewer, to make an excellent
beer. When Leopold Schmidt, master brewer
discovered the sparkling waters from a subter
ranean well at Tumwatcr, Washington, over 54
years ago, he knew he had found a treasure of
great rarity. Here was one of the few spots in the
world where such water could be found for pro
"first postwar program," as Initi
aled by the 1IH4 road act of con
gress, which earmarked $) mil
lion (121 million of federal funds
and 116 million of stata funds) tor
frdrral aid construction In Oregon
during tha three-year period.
The second postwar federal aid
program waa authorised and Initi
ated by the congress In June 14.
Under tills program, the highway
commlvUon will have available ap
proximately $21 million 111 both state
and federal funds for construction
work during the coming two years,
