Miss James, Youngest First Lady,
Thrilled By Events At Harrisburg
Passes 24th Birthday Anniversary Twb Divi er Inaug-
uration; Brother Arthur, 19; es The
Pep In Pennsylvania’s First Family
By WARREN HICKS
Miss Dorothy James is one of the few young ladies in Pennsylvania, or
in the whole United States, for that matter, who ever had a Governor's man-
sion, all dolled up in a pretty blue Republican ribbon, for a birthday present.
Although tired from weeks of con-&
stant activity since the election of her
father, Miss James is thrilled at the
prospect of entertaining in the Man-
sion at Harrisburg as the First Lady
of Pennsylvania, according to her per-
sonal secretary, Miss Jean Griffin. of
Wilkes-Barre.
Youngest First Lady
With the help of her grandmother,
Mrs, Grace Morris, mother of the late
Mrs, James and supervisor of the
James household in Plymouth for the
past three years, the daughter of the
governor is getting the mansion or-
ganized under the new management
and will actively enter the round of
duties as first lady of the State very
soon.
She is mainly occupied with becom-
ing accustomed to her mew home and
her new position, rather than with
changing things in the Mansion, “Mrs,
Earle has done such a nice job of fur-
nishing the mansion. I'm sure I can’t
improve on that,” she said.
Miss James, who has inherited many
of the finer scholastic qualities of her
father, graduated from Syracuse Uni-
versity in June, 1937, near the head of
her class. She attended public schools
in Plymouth, studied at Wilkes-Barre
Institute during her sixth and seventh
grades, and graduated from Plymouth
High School with a fine scholastic re-
cord in the class of ’33.
Her main interests center about the
theatre. She majored in Dramatic Arts
at Syracuse. One of the most talented
members of her class, she appeared in
several of the student productions at
the University and was active in the
Boar's Head, honorary dramatic soc-
iety.
Somewhat above average height,
well groomed, striking looking and
gracious of manner, Miss James makes
a charming hostess for the Governor's
Mansion and seems well able to handle
her new position with efficiency and
finesse.
Arthur, Jr. Is All Boy
The other member of the governor's
family would have initiated his new
home with a whoop and a slide down
the bannisters 10 years ago. But it
is reported that Arthur James, Jr. 19
years-old and a senior at Wyoming
Seminary, ‘assumed command of his
part of the mansion with a smile and
a mild Wyoming cheer,
A block off the old chip—young
Arthur is considerably taller than his
father—the Governor's son is a good
student but not quite so serious a lad
as his father was. Ome hundred per
cent boy, Arthur, Jr. figures it's a
great life if you don’t weaken, and
he’s still going strong.
One of the more popular members of
his class, the tall young man is very
active at Seminary, seems to have his
finger in most of every extra-curricu-
lar pie, and is doing well in his studies
in spite of all that. Upon graduation
he intends to enter Dickinson Law
Sohool and keep right on following
in the famous James footsteps. Maybe
someday we'll hear tell of a breaker
boy's son.
In the meantime, or at least for the
next four years, Pennsylvania has a
First Family which would be hard to
beat. Arthur H. James, who, in spite |
of his position, is just one of the fel-
lows, a son of the same stuff, and a
knowing daughter to make them toe!
theline. And what more could anyone
ask?
CORRECTION
The salary of Miss S. M. R. O'Hara
as Secretary of Commonwealth will be
$10,000 a year, not $10,000 a month as
misprinted in last week’s Post.

Arthur H. James is the second man to go from Luzerne County, third

years ago tomorrow, Luzerne County's first Governor was inaugurated.
He was General Henry Martyn
