...having to buy those little plaque's (costing 15?), the idea of deposit insurance being thoroughly obnoxious to them. Once the bankers had the plaques, however, the idea of having them taken away seemed even more obnoxious. Until last week none had been withdrawn. Then Chairman Leo T. Crowley of FDIC announced that North Bergen (N. J.) Trust Co. would lose its plaque May 1. Reasons: operating with impaired capital, lending in excess of the legal limit, unwarranted concentration of loans, extension of credit to people and companies in which the bank's principal stockholders were interested...
...Arthur, Tex. it is 625 mi., from Port Arthur to New Orleans 250 mi. Near the centre of this big southwestern triangle is a man-made lake near Hot Springs, Ark. called Catherine. On an island in the lake is Couchwood, the spacious summer home of Utilities Tycoon Harvey Crowley Couch, onetime (1932-34) RFC director, chair-man of Louisiana & Arkansas Ry. and Arkansas' richest citizen.

Davis of Remington Arms Co., some 200 other big & little wigs. A waiter opened the door, and in waddled Field & Stream's hearty Publisher Eltinge F. Warner disguised as Donald Duck, with a large basket on his arm. Squawking, he advanced to the speaker's table, pumped the hand...

Edmund Franco, left tackle, whom Coach Crowley calls the best college lineman he has ever seen. The Pole is 5-ft. 11-in., 190-lb. Center Alexander Franklin Wojciechowicz (pronounced Woe-gee-hoe-wits), whose hobbies are cooking and helping his mother crochet rag rugs.
