Thirty exhibitors competed for the money. Penn State's Berkshlres dominated the swine show. As has been the case In recent years, the Berkshire entries from the Keystone state made almost a clean sweep of the barrow show.

When the final placings had been made MeCarty had the ribbon for the grand champion barrow of the show. The same barrow was champion in the class for weights between 2S0 and 300 pounds. Last year a half brother of this year's winner was reserve grand champion. In 1936, Penn'a. State also took the grand championship.

Shirley's playroom is stocked with every conceivable kind of wind-up toy, game, block set, doll and miniature furniture for doll houses. Mrs.

Temple has had to resort to books and novelties. One of Shirley's present this year from her mother will be a doll's tea act in sterling silver. Within the last few months Shirley has developed a belated interest in dolls. The one she likes best is a small one, fashionably attired, which she bought with $3.60 of her $5 month'i- allowance The dolls made to resemble Shirley, of which she has a score, don't appeal to her very much, her mother says. Shirley pretends, like a good many other nine-year-olds, thit she believes in Santa Claus, although Jack, her older brother, spilled the beans last Christmas.

Some mechanical toy, left by Santa, didn't operate very well for Shirley. Jack said he'd fix it, "because I had it working yesterday afternoon." In preparation for Santa's forthcoming visit, Shirley bought a very large cambric stocking. With knowing glances at her mother, she sewed a tiny bell to its toe the other day. "I'll bet I hear him this year," said Shirlev.

Austin Bullivan, Robert B. Smith and J. Martin Goodman, President John J. HaberstroK of the Blair County Bar association announced yesterday. In announcing strong opposition of the bar association to alleged "illegal proceedings by laymen," Haberstroh said, "There has been a recent epidemic of illegal practice of law by laymen, entailing protracted litigation and provi costly to litigants, due to Inadequate descriptions in deeds, illegal wills, separation agreements and other matters.

"Our committee will make a complete analysis of the situation and, if the matter uncovered warrant such procedure, we will insist upon the full observance of the act of assembly which sets forth "that any person who shall piactice law, within this commonwealth, without being a member of the bar of a court of record, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof, shall be sentenced to pay a fine not exceeding $500, or shall suffer imprisonment not exceeding six months, or both, or either, at the discretion of the court' "Cases have come to our attention where wills are improperly prepared, as the result of which heirs have suffered and the true purposes of the decedent have been defeated.

11 The arrival of a Bible and four slingshot this week opened Shirley Temple' Christmas season. And Shirley's mother Hgalt wondered, as she does every Chrietmas, "What are we going to do with all this stuff?" The difference between ShUley'a Chrlatmas and million of other is hers starts sooner and lasts longer, If her brothers pitch in, she may have all her presents opened by New Year'). Mrs. George Temple doeen know what to do with gifts from admirer, and, she admitted today, she hesitates to talk about their eventual disposition for fear of offending well-meaning givers "The problem is the same every year," said Mrs. Temple.

"We get packages from every place ir. the world, some of them containing elaborate presents, some with simple, home-made dolls and toys. A minister's wife In England sent her a beautiful Bible and, because Shirley said once she'd like a slingshot, little boys are sending them as Christmas presents." The Temples hoped, four or flvo years ago, to keep Shirley's Christmas as simple as they were before she became the movies' biggest name. But when truck-loads of toys and dolls and books started arriving early in December, they regretfully gave up hope and fairly successfully (they believe) convinced their daughter the tributes were for the characters she plays and not for herself. "I don't like to give the impression that we give away the things people send her," Mrs.

Templo said. "We let Shirley enjoy every present she gets. When she tlrrs of whether it is our present or one from a fan wo store it in the attic. Just before Men's Club To Hold Christinas Partv Edward F. "Snaps" Emanuel.
