He doesn’t think he’ll ever go back into show-business, but might if the opportunity comes along. e, STREAMS IMPROVED Salmon gpawning streams in the Eastern District are generally good and salmon are escaping to spawn- ing grounds, it was reported here today when the Swanil, fisheries; boat, returned from a week of stream survey work. v STI TIME w 7 Futlkin /IOUERCA These 1,1000-pound live bombs have been rolled up to a B-I18 L | later.
