Lure Of the Distance

a movie craze Is sweeping
the Far North. Picture theaters
in Alaska are doing record
breaking business. Audiences
up there are not keen for snow
country pictures showing hard
ships and struggles with nature.
They get too much of that in
daily life. The Alaskans prefer
warm tropical scenes and ball
room and other spectacles por-
traying comfort and ease.
Here in civilization, life is
soft. We have, as everyday
comforts, many services and
conveniences that would be
classed as Injuries in the Far
North. The natural reaction is
that We flock to pictures por-
traying hardships of the cold
north or the burning desert.
In a life of hardships, peo-
pie yearn for comforts In a
life of comforts, they are en-
tranced by hardships. On a
showdown, few would actually
trade places with the other kind
of life.
The lure of the distant is as
strong as when the early explor-
ers sailed daringly into unknown
seas. Romance and adventure
are scarce, SO we associate them
with the places far away. No
matter how attractive things
may be, most folks imagine bet
ter things lie on the other side
Iof the hill.
Climbing to the top of the
mountain, they look down into
a valley much the same as the
one they've just left. On, then,
across other mountains.
The same spirit makes the
radio bug more interested in
long distance reception than in
actual radio concerts.
Mans restlessness and dis
satisfaction, his craving to ven
ture into the unknown-tbese
are the forces that have brought
all progress, that have evolved
the cave-dwelling brute into the
comparatively high type of
mentality of modern times.
Contentment breeds stagna-
ton.
Dissatisfaction generate
progress.
Curiosity leads to new discov-
cries.
Accordingly, the fact that so
many Americans are dissatisfied
is a certain indication that rapid
progress lies ahead.

PERPETUAL

The Able Moreoux, French scien
fist, swings his telescope and finds
a swirl of "star dust" so far away
that it takes a million years for lis
light to reach us.
What the Able saw, therefore,
was the light that left the nebula q
million years ago. Another million
years must pass before earthlinga
with their. telescopes win be able to
see what that far-off place is like
today. If you were as far from Che
earth as light travels in 109 years,
and had a powerful enough tee
scope, you'd now be looking down
here and watching the Battle Qf
Waterloo. Light takes moving PIC
lures of everything, carries them on
through space forever.
