Shirley Named
'Temple Chan'
By Nipponese
Shirley Temple discovered she
was "Temple Chan" to the Nlp-
poness millions when the Hon.1
Saburo Kurusu, Japanese
Ambassador to Belgium, visited,
her at Twentieth Century-Fox-
studios during the making of!
"Dimples," Shirley's new Twen-
tieth Century-Fox triumph, at
tha Criterion Theatre, Wednes-
day, Thursday and Friday, Dec. 2
—3—4th.
Kurusu explained that "Chan"
is a Japanese diminutive of en-
dearment and that it might be
translated literally as "Dear Lit-
tle Miss."
"My people do not use your
first name," he told Shirley. "You
are known there as 'Temple Chan'
and that is the way your name is
put cn the theatre."
He took a pen and showed
Shirley how her name looked In
Japanese.
"My, but Japanese letters are
funny, aren't they?" she said.
"Here, I will show you hew il
looks in American."
Shirley scrawled her name, and
then gave it to the Ambassador.
"American letters are kind of
luiny, too, aren't they?," she
asked.
Kurusu visited Shirley while he
was enroute from Japan to his
post of duty in Belgium. His It-
inerary was deliberately changed
to include Hollywood so the Am-
bassador's 10-year-old daughter,
Pia. could visit Shirley.
Frank Morgan, Helen Westlfiy,
Robert Kent, Astrid Allwyn, Del-
ma Byrcn, the Hall Johnson Choir
and Stepin Fetchit are featured
in the cast .supporting Shirley
in "Dimples."

Has
*ine Wheat Pasture
For the past thirty days now,
hundreds and hundreds, of cattle
have been shipped in by 'truck
and by the carloads to be put
on this ipk wheat pasture in Lip-
scomb County. In many cases
wheat fanners that put in their
wheati<arly and , who had suffi-
cient Uand are now enjoying a
daily itiiome ifrom six to ten dol-
lars per day, with the average
running from 3 to 5 dollars per
day. This is indeed the finest
wheat pasture that we have had
in this section of the country in
many a moon. If we should re-
ceive sufficient moisture later in
the season from time, to time as
peeded, there is no doubt but
what Lipscomb County would
have another Bumper like back
in 1928. Boy, Oh Boy, happy days
are here again.
