...first of these broadcasts served only to add to my anguish? Both San Francisco and Los Angeles (also Portland, Ore.) are full-page advertisers in your periodical, and I believe I am correct in assuming that you also have countless readers and subscribers out on this Pacific slope; and yet it seems that we are not deemed worthy of a listenin on your advertised broadcast. I for one would be willing to forego Amos & Andy or any other popular radio entertainment, to listen to "The March of Time" in event of the programs clashing...
Montreal Canadiens, present world champions, are the fastest and one of the toughest teams on the ice. In their lineup is still famed slope-faced, round-shouldered Howie Morenz, the highest paid, the fastest hockey player in the world. Aurel Joliat, in his little black cap, puts Morenz in position to shoot and handles his passes with none of the jealousy that in past seasons has marred their cooperation...

At the same time, the Gulf of Maine, close at hand with its tributaries, offers a more promising field for intensive investigations into the interaction between the physical-chemical and the biologic aspects of Oceanography than any other sector of comparable extent along the coast of America. The thermal diversity, regional, bathymetric and seasonal...
...work of Israelite engineers who were picking holes in the fortifications. Every hole was plugged with a wooden beam or a dry tree trunk. On the seventh day, the wooden fillings were set on fire.

Charred dwellings give evidence to substantiate the Biblical account that flames rolled over the city, burned the Canaanites to crisps...
...lowest and highest points in the U. S.; Death Valley ( - 276 ft.) and Mt. Whitney (14,502 ft.). The desolate Mojave Desert is a runway to the last hurdle, the San Bernardino range, and another study in contrast as the plane "coasts" down the heavily wooded slope, orange groves reaching to the foothills, and again a close-lined population checkerboard. In the distance-it is now dusk -are the lights of Los Angeles and the welcoming beam of Alhambra Airport...
