QUIET VERSUS DISQUIET CON*T
dwellings* True, families can develop a
close family relationship and ties just
as strong, but it is harder. There isn't
as much time together, there * s more for
the young people to do and they want to
get out and do it, so they donU stay at
home as much* The parents, too have
other things to occupy them and the to
getherness stretches out-*—there just
isnH the opportunity for peace and
quiet with lie hub-laub of other people
constantly around you in close living
quarters*
In a small town, everyone knows every
one else and it^s always a friendly greet
ing from each person you meet that gives
one a warm feeling of security* — * You
just can*t get to Imow everyone in a big
city and most of the people you meet on
the street are strangers, rushing to get
somewhere and not caring if you*r*e in the
way—shoving, pushing, jamming*
A home-cooked meal—fresh, apple pie
like *mother—used-to-make * that melts in
your mouth* Who could compare that to
restaurant food no matter how eaqpensive
and rare? Pood served by the loving hands
of a mother at the family table and that
served by a waiter in a big room with
strangers seated all around—no ccaDDparison
There *s something about a aman town
that draws people together and forms last'
ing, secure foundations—-the backbone of
America, the strength of America, the
he^t of America is found in her gmftn
towns—in the people who work and strive,
suffer and enjoy, laugh and Crvy-Live*
I have never read a better descrip
tion of the feeling or a better tribute
to our native hills, than Judge Felix
Alley's coEimonts on the North Carolina
mountains:

«ICE PALACE”
”Ice Palace” is the big-scale
Technicolor film version of Edna Ferber*s
novel about, the taming of Alaska and the
struggle of this great northern wilder
ness to became America's 49th state*
What ”Giant” did for Texas, ”Ice Palace”
does for Alaska*
The story of the march of this last
grealb American frontier to statehood is
told in the half-century-long stmggle
of two Titans* The Titans are Richard
Burton, as ”02ar” K^inedy, who wants to
take everything from the country and
give nothingi and Robert Ryan as Thor
Storm, whose love for Alaska rouses him
to battle for the statehood its people
want*
To insure authenticity of back
ground, the company spent four weeks in
Alaska filming scenes against its primi
tive grandeur of glaciers, mountains,
and ice-fields, its salmon^fishing, its
canneries and the frontiecp-faceted cities
of Fairbanks and Juneau*
Carolyn Jones, Martha ifyer and Jim
Backus also are starred in a cast vfaich
includes Ray Dan ton and two lovely new
comers, Diane McBain and Shirley Knight*
Of unusual interest is the casting of
a 19-year-old Eskimo beauty, Dorcas
Brower, from Point Barrow in the Arctic,
in the role of Robert Iran’s young na
tive wife*
