Land" which opened today at Loew's
Capitol with Don Ameche in the
principal role, Happy Land" a high
ly successful piece of current fiction
by McKinlay Kantor, reduces total
war to not merely one hero but a
new one, the father who fought in
the last war to make the world safe
for democracy and who pays for his
failure to make it so by giving his
only sons life in this one. Twentieth
Century-Fox studio has done a
highly commendable piece of trans
lation of Kantor's emotional story
and it would not be at all surpris-
ing should many movie goers rate
it as their favorite picture of the
season.
Total war is reduced to its small
est denominator in Happy Land"
TO dimensions that every one can
understand. 1t is the story OF a
family in small Iowa town.
Head OF the family is the town
druggist. Lou Marsh (Ameche) 4.
The Marshes are good Americans.
Lou runs the typical small town
drug store, the one that is more
than an emporium of soft drinks
and vitamins and tonics. 1t is a
community center, a club where the
youngsters meet and the oldsters,
too. 1t Is the simplest possible frame
for a story of America at war and
within it Ameche, Frances Dee. Ann

TRAINING

Until this year America had no Federal
training system for its merchant marine
personnel Today. the Academy overlook
ing Long Island Sound Is regarded as the
finest merchant marine training school In
the world. Its entrance requirements are
the equivalent OF the highest grade col
leges. It's discipline Is as rigid as that OF
Annapolis and West Point. Ordinarily the
course requires three years For the war
emergency 1t has been stepped UP to l6
months.
Two months are devoted TO basic train
ing in the fundamentals Of seamanShip.
THE Government also operates basic
training schools at San Mateo. Calf. and
Pass Christian. Miss.l Cadets are then
given six months Of practical training at
sea- which are followed by eight months OF
advanced training at Kings Point Upon
graduation cadets are licensed as deck and
engineer officers and commissioned en-
signs in the Navy. The boys-it is empha-
sized, however-must be sailors first and
specialists afterwards.

and then powders.
