BY HARRY JAMES
Pinch Hitting for Erskin, JOhnsOn)

tPInch-HittIng Tor ErSkIn, JOhnSOn)
Three years ago l said that l
would never return to Hollywood
For me it was always a city of hard
luck and disappcintments. Today I
never want to leave it. guess that
is what a wife and baby can do for
a guy. Musicians are seldom known
for their domesticity, but here is a
trumpet -tooter whose life from now
on will be tied up with a fireplace
and pair of slippers.
Since Betty and I were married a
little over a year ago, things have
certainly been different in the life
CT Harry Haag James. l used to
constantly have the smell of night
club smoke in my nostrils. Now l
wake at 8 o'clock in the morning
with the fragrance of orange bios
SONS coming through the window.
I guess I've just become softie,
but l love it.
My fellow band leaders think I've
gone completely batty I've heard
them say. Harry has three loves in
hi life. and outside of his work,
that's all that interests him"
COMES THE 'SLEUTT
l guess Erskine Johnson heard
someone make the crack. too. for
he called me up. Whats all this
stuff about your three loveS?" he
asked. Il know all about Betty and
hn l,1 In
pin-up girl that arrived at your
house a couple of months ago, but
where does the third love come in?'
Boy. what a letdown for super
sleuth Johnson when l laughed and
said "baseball "
I've been a baseball fan since l
was kid.
There have been a lot of rumorS
circulated about me. / read a story
about myself in a newspaper the
other day that was a dirty lie. 1t
said that recently when I was in
terviewing a number of musicians
for spot that was open in the
band. I asked one of the boys what
ne played. The violin replied the
boy. NC, that's not what I mean,
supposedly replied James impatient
ly. What position do you play in
baseball?"
The truth of the matter is: first
I ask a prospective member of the
band what instrument he plays,
then l ask him what position he can
play on the Harry James baseball
team
HOW ABOUT LA CRADLE?
All of this brings up the question
that is put to me so many times,
What does Mrs. James-some peo-
pie call her La Grable-think of all
this baseball business? Doesn't she
raise a fuss?'
I hate to give the answer to that
question. It seems that Betty is the
nations number one pin-up girl.
All of which makes it kind of tough
on a guy named James. Now when
the bows hear the answer to that
baseball question they're going tc
go fo" Mrs. James even more than
they did before. Betty loves base
ball.
incidentally, here's an inside tip
for tie gossipers. The Jameses real
" don't get along as well as most
PEOPLE think they do. We have our
differences. She likes her steaks
rare. 1 like mine we'll done.

WHO RUNS
tine EXCHANGE :?

Being a little hazy about the gen.
eral set-up of the Exchange and
how il works, your reporter decided
to attend some Exchange Board
Meetings and find out.
They're held at Q 80 every Wednes-
day morning at the Sunkist Build
ing in Los Angeles. The 25 growers
from all over the citrus area who
make up the central Board of Direc-
tors of the California Fruit Growers
Exchange, come to Los Angeles each
Wednesday to represent the grow
ers in their area.
These meetings are open-any
Exchange grower may sit in, many
do. Toward $50, the crowd in the
lobby makes its way to the second
floor, to the Board Room. The 25
Directors take their places in seats
, up in front. The President of the
Exchange, elected from the Board,
takes the chair and calls the meet
ing to order.
First comes the weekly report of
the Sales Department, then reports
of other Departments-Field Serv-
ice, maybe, or Advertising. Impor-
tant problems and proposals are
likely to come out in the weekly Re-
port of the Management, given by
Paul S. Armstrong, General Man
ager of the Exchange.
Board members rise, address the
chair, ask searching questions, make
criticisms, suggest alternate solu-
tions. You don't have to attend many
of these meetings to realize that the
authority rests iCith the Directors.
Your reporter looked into this
further and learned that the Mar
ager and entire staff of the GEN.
tral MISUNDERSTANDING those en-
ployed in the 81 Sales Offices-are
hired by this Board of growers. Each
department of the Exchange is
under supervision of a committee
made up of Board members. Every
dollar of expenditure, for whatever
purpose, must be authorized by the
Board. There is, in fact, no phase of
Exchange activity which the Board
does not control.
The obvious question arises:
Where does the Board get its
authority? -.
The Exchange is made UP of
14,500 citrus growers. Each is a
member of his local Sunkist pack
ing house association. There are
208 Sunkist packing houses Each
packing house association elects
one grower to represent it on the
Board of the District Exchange.
There are 25 District Exchanges =.
and each District Exchange elects
one grower to represent it on the
central Board of the California Fruit
Growers Exchange.
The central Board, therefore,
through this system of representa-
rion, gets IT'S authority directly from
fhe 1850 groIocrs ,Vio make up
fhe Exchange membership.
In other words, the Exchange is
democracy. 1t is run by and for
the growers themselves. After 81
years, it is still youthful and still
growing, because it has kept firmly
TO this American principle.
Your reporter, sitting in at the
careful deliberations of the Board,
sensing the deep responsibility they
feel toward the growers back home,
and the no less deep responsibility
of the Management, wished every
citrus grower could have the same
experience. The Exchange is your
kind of organization. It's been built,
from the ground up. by growers like
yourself. You ought TO belong.

two weeks from today. Asy

New School Plan
Considered in
Delinquent Study

LOS ANGELES, Sept 7. (UP)-
State-operated 24-hour schools for
children whose environment is sub
normal as a means of preventing
juvenile delinquency is under con-
sideration by a state legislative
committee.
Senator Jeff r. Dorsey. Bakers
field, chairman of the assembly in
term committee on juvenile delin-
quency, said the committee on state
training fer boys and girls would
study and decide feasibility of ac-
quiring sites for establishing state
training schools or schools to teach
military discipline, academic sub
iects and vocational training.
Several local asthorities have
been called to testify during the
committees three-day session. Sen
ator Dorsey said the committee is
seeking comments and advice from
all persons experienced in handling
youth problems.
The committee favored 24-hour
schools to which children might be
admitted without being made wards
Of juvenile courts. Senator Dorsey
said the committee would investi-
gate possibility of acquiring militar,
camps or establishments which
might be abandoned by the fedora
government for use as such schools

Back to School
Drive Opens

A concentrated drive TO get chill
dren back in school began in Impe-
fial county Thursday.
THE drive was occasioned by ma
tion-Wide concern over the great
numbers of school children who are
employed and may not return to
school," said Mrs. Liefy V. Upholt,
attendance supervisor. "Officers in
all branches of the armed forces of
the United States have joined par
ents. other interested Americans
and teachers in their campaign to
induce all school children and
young people to go back to school
this fall" she declared.
BELONG IN SCHOOL
Mrs. Upholt said the consensus
was that teen-age children, both
boys and girls, belong in school un-
til they have completed their
courses and are better trained men,
tally and physically tc meet the re-
quirements of adult life.
When necessary it is possible to
arrange well-planned school work
programs which will not deprive
the nations young people of their
right to a good education and the
advantages of the educational SyS-
tenn of the United States, she said.
VINO HEAD SPEAKS
Mrs. Upholt called attention to
The following stat ment made re-
Gently by Paul V. McNutt, chairman
of the war manpower commission
to teen-aged children:
Many of you have spent your
! summer vacation on farms, in stores
and factories helping with the job
of winning this war. Now that
I trust that you will return to your
