What to Seal in Cornerstone?
Gold Piece, Balloon, G-String
-ly BILLY ROSE
** If anyone is going to lay a cornerstone in 1950,1 would suggest
he seal up the following items for the benefit of the folks in 2050.
1. A COPT of Th* Congressional Record. It will make dullish reed
ing, I grant you, but it will prove that our legislators could get up on their
hind legs end 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
Icnow that there once was a time when e legally ..elected representative
could shoot off his fact without being shot en hour later.
s. A *20 GOLD PIECE. At th«
rat* goirs by 2050 a pound
3i cuuer may c«
worth mora than
a pound ot print
ed money, and
thart'a no telling
how much tha
lucky finder may
ba abla to buy
with 20 bucks
worth of tha yel
low stuff,
3. A FAT
CHECK, com
•illy R*m
pletc with stub showing all tax de
letions. It’s my hunch that tt will
• maze the folks of the future to
realize that back in 19S0 a guy did
aave a few bucks left after the
lovernment was through with him.
4. A COPY of the New ■ York
tlassified telephone directory to
•how how enterprising 8,000,000 peo
ple used to be when their enter
prise was really free and frolic
tome.
* 3. A G-string and a length of
tori used in a lynching—two ex
amples of tv hat the 20 th Century
was capable of doing when given
enough rope.
«. 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
pup of uranium it'll whistle better
ihan 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
purselves. And a copy of the Kinsey
Report to show the kinds of answers
we are getting.
8. A TOY HALI.OON filled with
hydrogen to prove that this destruc
tive gas was once used in the pub
lic interest.
». 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 tot.id paint a* he
pleated.' .
li. A COVER of Tim* me ferine
—the on* with the picture of Mark
111, th* electronic computing ma
chine developed *t Harvard. Alto
th* accompanying articl* suggest
ing, on th* batit of Prof. Norbert
Wiener’s new science of cybernet
ics, that the wpfld may eventually
b* ruled by this machine’s off
spring, aince th* machine's brains
•ra getting larger and larger while
man’a braina ate getting smaller
and smaller. It will probably
etartle the cellar-dwellers of 2030 ta
learn that there was a time whan
ptopla wart only thinking of the
machines taking over.
11. A SNAPSHOT of the immi
gration buildings on Ellis Island.
Generations hence, people may be
curious te know what tha Island
was used for, becauta by then it will
probably bt a launching platform
for robot missiles, and similar
knick-knacks. Next to the snapshot,
an 8-by-10 glossy of th* new U. N.
building on First avenue, wrapped
in a copy of th# song hit, “But I
Can Dream, Can't I?’’
12. An archil act’s modal of m
voting booth. And with it, in
structions on how you ton pull a
Itvsr and vota a straight tkhtt,
or flip off any sassdidata you
don't liha and fUp on tha ona you

I'd taka it kindly if tha man lay
ing the cornerstone were to make
certain that the curtain is on the

makes it possible for one to vote
without a cop peeking over his
shoulder. This little curtain, I sus
pect, Is darn near th* most import
ant piece of equipment w* have in
1930, and judging from what’* hap
