What to Seal in Cornerstone?
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

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.

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.

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,

“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.

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

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

mum flexibility and stability,
even under capacity loads of

and steering mechanism are

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

Brannan Farm LawXrack-Do 1
May Lead to Own Plan Approvi
By WALTER A. 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.”
