used are all of first-grade fir. The
house is topped by a roof of hand
made Richmond tile, which simu-
lates old, weathered shingles.

went a thorough examination at the
medical clinic the first three days
of the week. Mr.. Jensen has appar-
emily no immediate ailments to fear,
but his general health has been below
par for some time, hence the trip to
Duluth.
