GOING PLACES BY AIR
Reports from Washington indicate that a much lesser
amount for airport development in Alaska is being consid
ered under the new public works program than originally
proposed, but the fact that something in the way of expendi
ture for air transportation is likely to be granted is mighty
good news for residents of the North country.
Roads, trails and harbor facilities are all an important
part of our transportation problem in the Territory but the
real key to getting from one place to another is in the air,
and it cannot be overlooked that we have a long way to go
in Alaska. Calling on a neighboring city means spanning
hundreds of miles in many instances, thus the airplane has
filled a niche that no other mode of transportation has yet
been able to offer—speed.
The reported amount being considered at the present
time for air field development is only $371,000, but this will
mean the fixing up of many a landing field and the spotting
of others that can be used, though perhaps they should not
actually be classed as airports, rather cow pastures gone air
minded. However, they serve a most important purpose
and will be the foundation on which real aviation is bound
to develop. A semblance of an airfield is better than no
landing spot at all, so it is that while limited funds may
mean little development it will follow that a great many
temporary fields will be staked out which will serve a pur
pose until further facilities can be afforded.
If the proposed program goes through some 53 villages
and mining camps will be included in the airfield program.
Not much perhaps in a country of 600,000 square miles but
a starter from which the aerial development of the North is
sure to follow. It mustn’t be overlooked that the Army and
Navy are vitally interested in Alaska from an air standpoint
in connection with the air defense program and linked to
gether—military and commercial—
It looks as if we were going some place in the air after
all.—Juneau Daily Empire.

Is Football A Big
Racket? Theme Of
Picture At Dream
Is football 'Just another racket?’
Is a college gridiron star's great po
pularity solely the result of his pro
wess as a player?
'Yes!' answered Robert Young in
his character of Jim Fowler in Un
iversal’s stirring football drama,—
(Saturday’s Millions.) Embittered
by the thought, he lost the enthu
siasm of his earlier years in school,
he proceeded to make a business of
the game. He bet heavily on the
result of the games, sold his own
student tickets at high prices, ne
glected his training, 'let down’ the
team and the college, and excited
the contemptuous rage of his
sweetheart.
But be was vastly surprised by
events which transpired after final
game of his school career, and came
to realize the true meaning of ‘good
sportsmanship.'
This is part of the story of (Satur
day's Millions), which comes to the
Dream Theatre on Friday. Featured
with Young in this thrilling classic
of the gridiron are Lelia Hyams,
Johnny Mack Brown, Andy Devine,
Lucille Lund and many other popu
lar screen players, and the picture
was directed by Edward Sedgwick,
himself a former college player.
