Ruth Henderson, 23, and Roberta Morton, 26, found that there were no more tickets for the Nebraska-Stanford Rose Bowl game to be had in Omaha. So they wired an appeal to Stanford's most famed alumnus, who lives olympically on Stanford's campus and who has helped a lot of people in one struggle or another. Back came word that Herbert Hoover would see that they got tickets...
...that they should do what they could to bind up the nation's wounds, sponsored a post-season all-star football game "to cement friendship between the North and South." The first North-South game attracted a small crowd. Last week, 14,000 spectators crammed into Cramton Bowl for the third annual battle between Blue & Gray.

He is allergic to the mere presence of children. When he spies an urchin in his bank, brandishing a toy pistol, Fields pounces like a terrier...
...Most notorious labor-baiting group in California are the so-called Associated Farmers. These "Farmers" track very little earth into their parlors. They were born at a meeting of an agricultural committee of the State Chamber of Commerce in 1934, when the State was being invaded by Dust Bowl migrants (the Okies of Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath). The Okies wanted better wages, better living conditions than Mexican peons. With mounting labor costs, great industrialized farms faced a cut in profits. Shippers, canners, bankers were also vitally concerned. The time had come, the Chamber of Commerce decided...
