When the eight-mile-long parade started over the mountains to Harrisburg next morning it was accompanied by a car full of medical supplies donated by the people of Huntingdon. Nobody paid and nobody tried to collect the 10¢ toll at the Clarks Ferry bridge (over the Susquehanna River). From time to time wheezy motors gave out. Once the bread trucks were hours behind time, but somehow they kept on going. Troopers patrolling the march discreetly looked the other way when they saw a 1931 automobile license in the line. Governor Pinchot had ordered the stringent State law relaxed...

In fact, we rushed out and shot and skinned one last wallaby while the Era was feeling her way through the reefs, and then went aboard as soon as she had anchored. The fishermen were actually in a hurry...
That the Harvard Society for Contemporary Art would be able to present at least three more exhibits was announced definitely last night. The Society, which has been faced with the danger of closing its doors for lack of funds, has in the past month been able to collect $933, more than half of which has been donated by students...
