Gold Piece, Balloon, G-String -By BILLY ROSE If anyone is going to lay a cornerstone in 1950, I would suggest he seal up the following items for the benefit of the folks in 2050. 1. A COPY of The Congressional Record. It will make dullish read ing, I grant you, but it will prove that our legislators could get up on their hind legs and sound off on anything from the price of asparagus to the plight of the Zuni Indians. And if what’s happening in Europe or Asia is the shape of things to come, it will undoubtedly interest our descendants to know that there once was a time when a legally elected representative could shoot off his face without being shot an hour later. 2. A $20 GOLD PIECE. At the i rate we’re going, by 2050 a pound of butter may be worth more than a pound of print ed money, and there’s no telling how much the lucky finder may be able to buy with 20 bucks worth of the yel low stuff. 3. A PAY CHECK, com plete with stub showing all tax de ductions. It’s my hunch that it will amaze the folks of the future to realize that back in 1950 a guy did have a few bucks left after the government was through with him. 4. A COPY of the New York classified telephone directory to show how enterprising 8,000,000 peo ple used to be when their enter prise was really free and frolic some. 5. A G-string and a length of cord used in a lynching—two ex amples of what the 20th Century was capable of doing when given enough rope. 6. A PHONOGRAPH record of “Mule Train, “ with Frankie Laine’s whip alongside it. The song won’t make much sense, but I’ll bet a cup of uranium it’ll whistle better than the Concertos to Collectivist Agrarianism which future Shostako viches will compose. 7. A COPY of James Thurber’s “Is Sex Necessary?” to show the kinds of questions we are asking ourselves. And a copy of the Kinsey Report to show the kinds of answers we are getting. 8. A TOY BALLOON filled with hydrogen to prove that this destruc tive gas was once used in the pub lic interest. 9. A PRINT by Picasso. This cul tural left-over may amuse our 21st century friends, and if it doesn’t it will at least teach them that there once were countries where even a Communist could paint as he pleased. 10. A COYER of Time magazine —the one with the picture of Mark III, the electronic computing ma chine developed at Harvard. Also the accompanying article suggest ing, on the basis of Prof. Norbert Wiener’s new science of cybernet ics, that the world may eventually be ruled by this machine’s off spring, since the machine’s brains are getting larger and larger while man’s brains are getting smaller and smaller. It will probably startle the cellar-dwellers of 2050 to learn that there was a time when people were only thinking of the machines taking over. 11. A SNAPSHOT of the immi gration buildings on Ellis Island. Generations h?nce, people may be curious to know what the island was used for, because by then it will probably be a launching platform for robot missiles, and similar knick-knacks. Next to the snapshot, an 8-by-10 glossy of the new U. N. building on First avenue, wrapped Billy Rose X By the Light of the Years I HAVE learned these things by the light of the years. Like a child conning over his books. That the darkness outside of my window at night Is never as dark as it looks, ^ And ifl but run out and search, I can find Some little light, Steady and kind. I have learned that Hope is the white-feathered bird That sings all day on its neSt, That Fear is the crouching beaSt that comes To tear the bird from its neSt I have learned to close the door on Fear After many and many a year. I have patiently learned that pain will cease Though peace comes slowly and late, And that there will drift down to sleepless eyes LoSt sleep at la&, ifl wait. So why should I worry and fret and cry, Knowing these things pass by. — GRACE NOLL CROWELL in a copy of the song hit, “But I Can Dream, Can’t I?” 12. An architects model of a voting booth. And with it, in structions on bow you can pull a lever and vote a straight ticket, or flip off any candidate you don't like and flip on the one you favor for a particular office. I’d take it kindly if the man lay ing the cornerstone were to make certain that the curtain is on the model — that bit of cloth which makes it possible for one to vote without a cop peeking over his shoulder. This little curtain, I sus pect, is darn near the most import ant piece of equipment we have in 1950, and judging from what’s hap pening to it elsewhere in the world, it may be as rare as the dodo by the time another cybernetic cen tury rolls around. BY INEZ GERHARD The • .< - ' • ■' „ Fiction ALMOST A Richard H. Wilkinson Corner A aron Jordan had a swell job writing advertising for a Chicago agency. The night he came home and told Sally, his wife, that he was going to quit because he wanted to write movie scenar ios, she thought he’d been drink ing. “Either that,” she said, “or you’re crazy.” “Correct,” said Aaron. “Just crazy enough to be able to write good scenarios. You've got to be crazy to get by in Hollywood. Joe Neal told me.” “Are we going to live In Hollywood?” Sally asked. “Naturally. That’s where movies are made.” Sally was young and never had liked the idea of settling down too early in life. Besides, the idea of living in Hollywood was thrilling. They had a little money saved up, which was lucky, because after living three months in the cinema city they hadn’t made a dime. Aaron had written four scripts, which had almost sold. Almost. That one word had become the bane of their existence. It was the one word in Hollywood that drove peo ple crazier than they were at the start. Two months passed and the Jor dans had almost made a pile of money. The money that they had saved was almost gone. They be gan to wonder about the future a little. Another fortnight passed and Aaron and Sally decided they couldn’t evade facts any longer. Almost selling something didn’t buy bread. Aaron’s latest story, 3 - Minute Fiction “But your finger isn’t ser iously cut.” now in the hands of Pacific coast studios, would, they felt, be re turned like all the others. Almost good enough would be the com ment. They held a council of war. As soon as Pacific Coast returned the story they’d have to quit and go home. It gave them a sinking, frus trated feeling. The day after the council of war, Aaron cut his finger while examining a typewriter ribbon in • nearby stationery store. The store manager gave first aid, made a report, took down his name and address and told him an adjuster would be up the next day. When Aaron got home he told Sally about it. “It’s a chain store. They’re insured against accidents. I’ll collect at least $100.” “But your finger isn’t seriously cut.” “So what? Insurance companies have plenty of dough.” The adjuster came early the next morning. They knew him to be an insurance man by the benign, in gratiating look on his face. “Cut your finger?” he asked. “And pretty badly, too,” Aaron replied. He glanced at Sally. She was eyeing him severely. He knew she didn’t approve of what he planned to do. “How’d it happen?” Aaron gave a detailed account of the accident. “Too bad. Bother you about working?” ARON HESITATED. This was the crucial moment. He could say the wound practically incapac itated him. He could make it strong, and perhaps collect $50. Sally was regarding him stead ily. He didn’t like the look in her eyes. It made him feel small and cheap. He shrugged. “No. I can work all right. It isn’t anything serious. Let’s forget it.” Their visitor looked relieved. “Good. I have a proposition to make. We didn't like your latest story especially.” “Eh?” said Aaron. “Too farcical. But Jackson, he’s our story man. Sent me up here to ask if you’d consider going to work for us. You see, we think you write pretty good dialogue. We need a dialogue writer.” Aaron gulped. “Then—you're not —I mean—” “At what salary?” Sally asked practically. “Well, I’m authorized to offer $250 to start.” “Why,” Sally exclaimed, “that’s almost $300.” “Almost!” yelled Aaron. “Don't mention that word again. We’ll take the Job. Wow! I’m almost crazy!” “Me, too,” Sally agreed. MID PUZZLE LAST WEEK'S ANSWER p ACROSS 1. Begone! 5. Store 9. Cover with cement, etc. 10. Allowance for weight 11. Bird 12.

Astern No. 42 W ENDELL COREY, “hotter than a two-dollar pistol” at the moment, can have just about' any thing he wants in Hollywood, but is so experienced an actor and so wise a young man that he knows how to take only what’s best for him. Currently seen in Paramount’s WENDELL CQREY “Thelma Jordan,” he was lent out for “No Sad Songs for Me,” soon to be released. He was lent again for the coveted role opposite Lana Turner in her comeback, “A Life of Her Own,” but turned it down. After his recent visit to New York he and Mrs. Corey planned going home via New Orleans. “But I hear my son asked, ‘When’s Daddy com ing home?’ he said. “So I guess I’ll skip it.” Ray Milland inberits the role Corey turned down in M-G-M’s “A Life of Her Own,” right back where he made “Payment De ferred” 19 years ago and was fired immediately afterward. He says it took him six days to make scenes he should have done in two. His new Paramount deal calls for six pictures in six years, giving him time to make outside films like this one. “Father of the Bride” was fin ished at Metro a few weeks ago and work on a sequel, “Now I’m a Grandfather” was begun immedi ately. “Father,” in whiefc Eliza beth Taylor stars, will be released soon after her marriage. i Mil. ■! mA “Operation, Good Samari tan,” a series of programs pro duced by Church World Serv ice, Inc., is being aired by radio stations throughout the country. The programs dramat ically describe the work of this religious overseas relief agency in aiding those in other countries who are still hungry, hopeless or homeless in the wake of war. They are well worth hearing. When Cary Grant starred as “Mr. Blandings,” who built a house with such difficulty, he little knew that this year he would be re-building one of his own. His bride, Betsy Drake, is fetting him supervise everything, including re-decora ting; she claims that all the ex perience he gained while making the picture qualifies him for this real job. Prepare Woodwork For Repaint Jobs Proper Preliminaries Make Task Easier Woodwork in farm homes can b« repainted more effectively if prop er steps are taken to prepare the surface beforehand. This conclusion was announced after a study of the subject by the Eagle-Picher company of Cincin nati. Their survey, according to re ports, showed that preparing the surface beforehand will always be valuable, whether the work is to be done by a professional, or by the farmer himself. If the woodwork has been painted before and the paint is in good con dition, it should be washed down la removing this paint brush from a can of paint, it is al ways best to scrape off any ex cess fluid to prevent dripping or streaking. with a few drops of benzine on a dry cloth. This is done to remove any grease. Care should be taken, however, as benzine is inflamma ble. Should the present paint on the woodwork be in poor condition, then it should be removed entirely, or at least in the bad spots, with a paint remover. This applies es pecially to areas with blisters, roughness, streaks or looseness. Any paint left on should be cleaned with benzine. Ngw Farm Wagon Like modern cars which . “float” over the highways, this new, all-steel farm wagon has just been offered the Amer ican farmer to help smooth out rough fields and roads. Front and rear axle tilt independent ly (as shown) to give maxi mum flexibility and stability, even under capacity loads of 8,000 pounds. Anto-type wheels and steering mechanism are used. Spring Calving Permits Cheaper Winter Feeding Spring calving permits use of cheaper lower-grade feed during winter. A cow that calves in the spring will get along nicely on a plain kind of ration. But the cow that calves in the fall must be fed a milk-producing ration during the winter to keep the calf growing rapidly. Such a ration is more ex pensive. In a climate where the cow herd must be on a dry feed for five months, a total of about 1,300 to 1,500 pounds of digestible feed is needed in winter. A 1,100-pound pregnant beef cow can be carried through the winter quite cheaply when fed 1,100 pounds of clover hay, 1,500 pounds of com stover and 500 pounds of oats straw. Handling Tips Offered In Hatching Egg Work Tips on handling hatching eggs have gone out to farmers from sev eral extension service sources. In the main, farmers are urged to pack such eggs in cases with tha small end down, and, if these eggs are marketed twice a week, it will not be necessary to turn them. If hatching eggs are to be stopped for a short time, the advice con tinues, keep the room temperature between 45 and 60 degrees. Sense of Values Crying as if her heart would break, Mrs. Brown poured out the entire story on her mother’s shoulder. “Yes,” she repeated, “he ran off with my very best friend.” “Never mind, darling,” her mother consoled her. “I never thought much of him as a hus band, anyway. You won’t miss him.” “I don’t,” she assured her mother, “it’s my friend I miss.” » « * Persuasive A lawyer, whose sparkling elo quence had won an acquittal for his client, was anxious to learn the truth. “Now, Sam,” he said, “you can ‘confide in me.

I therefore award the decision to your client.” The lawyer thanked him very pauch but seemed to have a few points he didn’t want to waste. He continued to talk and it was fully five minutes before the judge could interrupt him again.

SHE AD O NE OF THE QUICKEST meth ods of repealing a “bad” law or an unpopular law is to enforce it to'the letter. The concensus here is that this is the method being followed by Secretary of Agricul ture Charles Brannan with refer ence to the present price support law on farm commodities. For Secretary Brannan not only has the reputation of being a good administrator, he also is considered an astute politician. There is little question but that the secretary is on solid ground and is following the letter of the law in enforcing the price support law with refer ence to potatoes, cotton and pea nuts, the results of which are leav ing such a bad taste in the mouths of the consuming public, if not the farmers directly concerned Of coarse. Secretary Brannan can fail back on the “record” and point oat that he predicted the present law wouldn’t work to start with, that in spite of supports, farm income is drop ping, that It is already off about two billion dollars and still going down; that in the program of government buying to keep supply in line with de mand, the taxpayers are pat- ■ ting ont millions of dollars an nually and on top of that are paying retail prices, as in the case of potatoes, higher than equally as good potatoes can be imported from Canada. All of which is building up sen timent to try out Brannan’s own plan for price supports fixed on income instead of parity and direct payments to farmers on the differ ence between market price and a fair price for perishable commod ities, putting an end to government purchase of all perishable farm commodities. • • • Co-op Tax Talked Although the house ways and means committee has some 1,700 pages of testimony, a movement spearheaded by Congressman Noah Mason of Illinois, a member of the committee, put so much “heat” on, that Chairman Robert L. Dough- ton of North Carolina again opened up the question of taxation of farmer cooperatives.. Of course, back of the spearhead Is the National Tax Equality asso ciation which is seeking to tax patronage refunds of co-ops and point to this as one of those “loop holes” in the tax law to which the President referred in his tax mes sage to congress. NAM Attacks IFL The National Association Manufacturers in a recent “Ws ington newsletter” charged the American Federation of Li is seeking to “create a farmc labor and small business allii to obtain political control of counti^r.” What happened was that the AFL league for political action attempted to analyse record votes on three issues each In the house and senate and by compiling the record on “three key labor-farmer-small busi ness issues” concluded that 28 senators and 81 representatives “opposed the best interests of workers, farmers a«d small bosinessmen through the first session of the 81st congress.” The issues chosen were the Taft-Smith-Donnell amendment to the national labor relations set of 1949, which would have repealed the Taft-Hartley act in name only; the Taft amend ment to the national housing set of 1949 to eliminate leans for minor farm improvements, which was defeated 20 to 41; and the appointment of John Carson to the federal trade commission. Said the AFL paper, “Carson Is a friend of cooperatives and small businessmen. Big business opposed Carson. A vote against Carson was a vote against the interests of the small businessman.” He was ap proved by a 45 to 25 vote. Says the NAM newsletter: “What the AFL political leaders are at tempting to do is to classify mem bers of congress as being for or against labor, the farmer and small business. Many members of con gress believe that the AFL pro gram is to create a farmer, labor and small businessman alliance to obtain political control of the country.” Another labor publication, the United Automobile Worker, says: : “What big business thinks of or ganized labor and organized farm-' ers can now be stated in its own words. Robert R. Young, who con trols the Chesapeake and Ohio rail road and is grasping for control of the New York Central, publishes m propaganda magazine in his De cember issue. He says: “As mon opolies, agriculture and labor, ini collusion with politics, tower far above business, and their shadows threaten to rise higher and ‘ above business.” highffj
