kids I knew, then smashed them. So when 1 was finally "diocovered” in a play at Pasadena. and called into a atudio for an interview. I waa pretty belligerent. Also, I waa determined to start in confusing 'em at the very beginning. After waiting a long time I got in to see an executive. He waa very busy with oome papers he was sorting. But after awhile he looked up and barked, "What makes you think you can act?" I barked right back "Because you sent for me!" "Tou won’t do at all," he growled, looking from me to a picture of me he held in his hand. "No use wasting my time." I didn't even wait to get the picture back. I went out, slamming his door so hard that one of his pictures fell from the wall. So he threw my picture Into the wastebagjcet. Hal Roach came into his office a bit later, found this fellow still fuming. "That big goon ought to be arrested." he said, pointing to my picture in the wastebasket. Then he told Roach what had happened. Now thia is the kind of man Roach is. He laughed, and sent for i me. I refused to return. Finally he persuaded me. I was still bellig»r- • ent, but he understood. He signed me. and that was the beginning of ' our association I have come a long way as a box office attraction by continuing to ; be confusing I didn’t relax. 1 went ; right on confusing ’em. i Even up to tne last scene of • "Seven Days’ Leave.” my final pict ture before donning that Coast r Guard uniform.

Adams county farmers, who filed crop insurance appllctaiorw for their 1942 wheat crop. These Indemnities will cover approximately 11.500 acres cf wheat amounting to about 114.950. Wheat crop insurance Is available to wheat growers through the local AAA committee. The conI tract, written this year, covers the i 1943. 1944, and 1945 wheat crop This Is an advantage due to the fact that the premium rates will undoubtedly be higher next year and any one signing a contract thin year Is guaranteed the same rate for the three years. No outlay of money is needed to pay the Insurance premium. This premium Is to be deducted from any payment under the AAA program, which a farmer Is eligible to receive Loans of 41 23 per bushel are available, this year, on wheat collected as losses. The county committee urges farmers to ccn'act their community committeeman or the county AAA office prior to August 31. 1942 for further information on the crop Insurance program We live by radiation, not by absorption.
