NEA Service Staff Correspondent.
 Hollywood. Shirley Temples stu Bio is having growing pains. The Company, I mean, is suffering kwinges vicariously because its Worlds No. 1 Box Office Champion tg growing up.
 This is not immediately alarm Ing, of course. Miss Temple is only 2 years and 5 months old, and certainly has some years of Childhood Stardom ahead of her. Nevertheless, there are signs. The tape measure and scales tell part lhf the story; her new talents and interests reveal the rest. When the Wonder Tot of talkietown be- gins vamping a bevy of Boy Scouts, film fans may as well re- sign themselves to the fact that babyhood is behind her.
 Take actual dimensions, in inches and ounces: Her last quarterly physical examination, given by the State Board of Education, revealed that since the previous examination she had grown three-quarters of an inch-to an even four feet; and that she had gained three pounds and weighs 63.
 That's a gain of about eight inches and 26 pounds since the day in 1883, that the tiny Temple made her screen debut. She's al-

given her by Bill Robinson, the famous Negro hoofer who teaches her most of her dance routines. The car is adjusted to maximum speed of about eight miles an hour, and, of course, isn't allowed on the streets. Her favorite play mate is the 12-year old son of the late Barbara LaMar who, after his mothers death, was adopted by Zasu Pitts. Shirley does all tAe cleaning in her playroom and playhouse, and washes and irons her dolls clothes.
 She is making more and more appearances in public, although she still is put to bed at 9 o'clock except as previewed. Until about year ago, she wasn't allowed to attend her previews.
 Has Poise
 Naturally she has developed a good deal of poise. During her recent vacation there was Catho- lie convention in Seattle and Shri- ley made an extemporaneous speech in a hotel lobby. She said, T am very happy to be here, and I thank you for the lovely badge.
 During that same vacation, gov ernment rangers staged Q show while the Temples were at Mt. Rainier. At the lodge, later, she spotted four Boy Scouts, picked out the biggest one, and said, Lets dance" He blushed, stam- mered, and fled. Shirley ap- preached the other three in turn. They blushed, too; blurted that they didn't know how to dance.
