"HAPPY YEARS" AT
CAPITOL TONIGHT,
MEMORIAL DAY
"The Happy Years,” new MGM
attraction at the Capitol Theatre
tonight and continuous shows to
morrow, Memorial Day, is a picture
which every member of the family
can enjoy to his heart’s content.
Based on the American boyhood
stories about Lawrenceville Acad
emy made famous several decade,
ago by Owen Johnson, the Techni
color photoplay is filled with de
lightful humor, tender touches anc
heartwarming characterizations.
The screen play tells the story of
Dink’s regeneration under the influ
ence of his school mates, but the
highlights of the picture are iso
lated incidents selected from the
Owen Johnson stories. These in
clude the Pancake Derby in which
"Hungry Smead” breaks all record
by devouring 49 pancakes, the foot
ball free-for-all and the agony of the
final exam before the day of the Big
Game.
The role of Dink is taken by Dear
Stockwell and other juveniles are
Darryl Hickman, Scotty Beckett,
and Donn Gift.
NORTHERN COMMERCIAL'S
ADVERTISING MAN HERE
On his first trip to Alaska David
Pollock, Pollock Advertising Agen
cy, Seattle, is in Juneau to con
fer with Ernest G. Whitehead, Nor
thern Commercial Company man
ager in Juneau.
Pollocks company is advertising
agent for the NC Company and
his present trip has taken him to
Nome, through the interior and he
will now cover southeast Alaska. He
left today for Ketchikan.
A first hand picture of the ter
ritory in which the NC company
has been an important factor for
many years has been the purpose
of Mr. Pollock’s trip. That the NC
company traces its beginning to
the old Russian-American company,
to the Alaska Commercial Com
pany and finally to the present, and
not so young, NC Company gives
it a fascinating history, the adver
tising man said.
The Northern Commercial Com
pany operates seven machinery •
agencies in Alaska and the Yukon
and 33 stores. Both Volney Rich- j
mond, Sr., and Volney Richmond,'
Jr., now manager of the N.C. Com-1
pany, are well-known throughout
the Territory.
Since his arrival in Juneau Mr.
Pollock learned that his advertis-1
ing agency had been given the "In- j
dustrial Advertising Award” of the:
Seattle Advertising Club.
ANNUAL MIGRATION
NORTH REFLECTS
IN PNA TRAFFIC
i
Alaska air traffic continues to
grow according to statistics releas
ed by Pacific Northern Airlines for
the first quarter of this year. Pa- j
cific Northern Airlines, flying the!
largest amount of air traffic of any
airline in the Territory of Alaska,
reports an overall 40 percent in
crease in passenger, air cargo and
U. S. Mail traffic carried during
the first quarter of 1951 over the
same period last year.
Traffic officials of PNA forecast
a continuation of the first quarter
growth well into the third quarter
of 1951. An indication of the in
creased tempo of Alaska air traffic
is an overall traffic increase of
slightly over 50 percent for the first
15 days of April.
Pacific Northern Airlines is now
engaged in the annual airlift of
Alaska fishing industry personnel
and a rapidly increasing number of
construction personnel for the
many private and government pro
jects now underway , in the "Great
Land” Alaska.

THRILLING STORY
"TASK FORCE" IS
AT 20TH CENTURY
“Task Force," one of Warner Bros.’
greatest productions of the post-war
period, arrives at the 20th Century
tonight for a three-day run.
Starring Gary Cooper, "Task
Force” is the story of naval aviation
with emphasis on the aircraft car
riers which helped achieve the vic
tory in the Pacific and over which
there is much controversy in de
fense circles even today.
Besides Cooper, the picture fea
tures Jane Wyatt, Wayne Morris
and W. Brennan. An interesting
sidelight concerning Morris’ role is
that during the war he portrayed
the same role, only in the real
sense as a pilot on board the Essex,
one of the Navy's most illustrious
carriers which saw action all the
way to the final big show at Oki
nawa.
A tender love story forms a great
part of the film as Jane Wyatt,
sweetheart and then wife of the
stalwart but impetuous Lieut. Scott,
waits at Pearl Harbor for him to
return from a cruise on the famed
Enterprise when the Japs strike.
In the climactic scenes, the pic
ture employs Technicolor to depict
the graphic action.
