MOVIETIME U. S. A.
Born with the century, the motion picture in
dustry has developed and perfected its unique medium
to a degree unrivalled by any other enterprise. From
modest beginnings, we have been privileged to witness
the remarkable evolution of an entirely new concept
in mass entertainment and education.
When "talkies” first appeared upon the screen,
most oi us thought that the movies had reached
their ultimate technical development. But in the
years that followed, we were to enjoy high fidelity
sound, the application of color to films and countless
other artistic and mechanical advances.
In observing its golden jubilee — Movietime U.
S. A. — the industry calls attention to a fruitful fifty
years. Motion pictures have brought to all Americans,
entertainment hitherto reserved for the fortunate
few.
By way of celebrating a half century of progress
_and in confidence that further progress will be
made--the industry has pledged Itself to deliver an
unparalleled procession of exceptional films during
these anniversary months. And the pledge is being
met.
Juneau's showgoers are enjoying one fine picture
after another — and have since the jubilee celebra
tion was announced in late September. Advance
bookings reveal that the months ahead promise more
of the same.
Our heartiest congratulations to the show folks
of Hollywood, whose "baby” is fifty years young
this year.
See you at the movies!
QUIET, PLEASE!
Boston, the cradle of liberty and the hub of the
universe, has come up with a revolutionary idea in
radio: an intermission during which the radio audi
ence is invited not to listen. The occasion was a
“live" broadcast by the Boston Symphony Orchestra,
People up there regard this as a great step forward.
So do we.
Producers of “live” broadcasts of concerts never
have quite solved the intermission problem. They
have tried everything from comment on the pro
gram and interviews with celebrities to inspirational
talks, uninspiring readings on modern science and
other forms of audible hot air.
A cardinal principal in radio has been that of
keeping the listener from turning off his radio or
from switching to another station. The "dead” mike
supposedly defies all canons of radio practice. (Bos
ton keeps within the letter by turning on the micro
phone to pick up intermission noises in the lobby.)
Unfortunately the old devices intended to keep people
glued to their receivers through the intermission of
a concert often proved futile.
Except for the fact that the listener to a broad
cast concert is usually more comfortable than he
would be if he actually were in the hall, he is subject
to similar psychological forces in both instances.
When intermission time comes he likes to give his
ears a few minutes’ rest and to walk around a bit
or get himself a drink. So the Boston idea of pro
viding a short period of relaxation has much to
recommend it.
Alaska Delegate
Chosen to Attend
Annual Youth Forum
George Bell, 15-year-old Eskimo
student attending the Nome High
School, has been chosen as the
first Alaska student to attend the
annual youth forum held in New
Yolk City by the Daily Mirror.
The newspaper this year invited
representatives from 11 foreign
countries and Alaska *to participate
in the forum to be held December
1. The paper provides transporta
tion for the delegates, and pays
all. their expenses while in New
York City.
George Bell is a junior at the
Nome school and is a member of the
Civil Air Patrol cadet detachment
stationed there. His parents are
Mr. and Mrs. Bert Bell of Nome.
Albert Wilson of Juneau was
chosen as alternate.
, Making the choice of Alaska’s
delegate were Kenneth S. Clem
and Miss Lois Morey of the Territor
ial Department of Education and
Mrs. Bertha Ellinger and Mrs. Lau
ra E. Jones of the Alaska Native
Service education division.
Prior to his departure for New
York, George Bell will be brought
to Juneau for brief^pg and orienta
tion. Upon his return from New
York, he will remain in Juneau
where he will be given assistance in
preparing a report of his trip. This
report will be sent to all Alaska
junior and senior high schools.
Qualifications for the delegate
to the youth forum were that he
was a boy between the ages of 15 to
17, must be one quarter or more
native blood, at least an average
student and was to have ha,d ex
perience through participation in
school activities and organizations.

and he has his own business in the
present city of Anchorsfge. All her
mother's brothers and sisters still
make their home in Alaska and the

Alaskans.

lowing men were given financial
aid in the form of scholarships:
Arthur Jess of Anchorage; Har
old Livingston of Clifton, Colorado,
George Mealey of Anchorage; John
Stephl of Wavwatosa, Wisconsin;
and Arne Sundt of Gakona, Alaska.

ed to the members of the other
three classes.

be of tremendous value in attract

residents of the Territory if they
knew such a policy was a part
of our Federal Government and
some day it would be completed.”
Other actions taken by the Alaska I
Development Board at the Anchor- ,
age meeting included:
1. Decision to confer with Cham
bers of Commerce, service clubs,
business and industry groups, labor
unions and others on the formation
of a broadly-based committee which
would draw up a proposal for fed
eral tax incentives for Alaska in
dustries and urge it upon Congress.
New Regibnal Offices
2. Calling upon the Wage Stabil
ization Board .and National Produc
tion Authority to establish autono
mous regional offices in Alaska with
power to act on applications from
the Territory.
3. Requesting defense officials to
sfnd a 10,000 kilowatt railroad
power plant on wheels to Anchorage
to meet an acute power shortage
which will exist there throughout
the winter months.
4. Urging the Department of the
Interior to relinguish withdrawals
of agricultural land on the Kenal
Peninsula so that settlement may
proceed in the spring of 1952.
5. Decision to conduct an indus
trial* and trade survey of the Val
dez area.
Want AAA Office
6. Requesting the American Auto
mobile Association to establishr
an office in Alaska.
7. Urging the Interior Depart
ment to reopen Katmai National
Monument to the taking of pumice
needed for building material manu
facturing in the Alaska railbelt.

Commission to extend a proposed
Nome-Teller road to the tin pro
ducing section near Lost River and
Tin City. '
9. Decision to hold a series of re
gional councils throughout Alaska
to draw from all sections sug
gestions for development activities.
Proceedings of the public forum
meeting, during which 38 speakers
discussed Alaska’s development
problems and opportunities, will be
mimeographed and distributed by
