...trucks which the Civilian Conservation Corps proposed to buy. His bid was declared ineligible by General Johnson because Mr. Ford had failed to sign the automobile code and under Presidential ruling only Blue Eagle firms could receive Government contracts (TIME, Aug. 21). Dealer Sabine protested that his firm was under the Blue Eagle, that he was, in fact, a leader of the NRA in his locality.

Thence, with almost convincing regularity, have come tales of Okanagan Lake's "Ogopogo"-a mighty serpent "with the face of a sheep, the head of a bulldog" (TIME, Aug. 15, 1932). And thence last week came two descriptions of a phantasmagoric sea serpent big enough to dwarf the 30-foot Ogopogo...
