Show MILLARD COUNTY CHRONICLE, DELTA, UTAH r BROADWAY AND MAIN STREET What to Seal in Cornerstone? Gold Piece, Balloon, G-Stri-ng I ' -- 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 520 GOLD PIECE. At the rate we're going, by 2050 a pound 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. ourselves. And a copy of the Kinsey Report to show the kinds of answers we are getting. 8. A TQY 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-ov- 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 COVEK 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-dwelle- of 2050 to learn that there was a time when people were only thinking of the machines taking over. U. A SNAPSHOT of the immi-gration buildings on Ellis Island. Generations hence, 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-knack- Next to the snapshot, an glossy of the new U. N. building on First avenue, wrapped 3. A PAY Biu CHECK, com-- ; plete with stub showing all tax de-- j 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 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-viche- s will compose. 7. A COPY of James Thurber's "Is Sex Necessary?" to show the kinds of questions we are asking 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. in a copy of the song hit, "But I Can Dream, Can't I?" 12. An architect's model of a voting booth. And with it, in-structions on how 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 CLASSIFIED DEPART AUTOS. JWkTT 525 REWARD Roll DeveloDelOvrrr 8 Hish Gloss PrinL " V'' REPRINTS 1 s,!e FOX STUniOS.

JMz ' SPORTLIGHT Sammy Snead Is Gallery Favorite By GRANTLAND RICE SAMUEL JACKSON SNEAD was around Hot Springs, Va., some 20 years ago. He was a caddie who could break is needed to win. There Isn't any question but that the golf of today is the hottest ever played. But that doesn't mean Jones and Hagen and others couldn't have matched this same clip, or surpassed it. Gene Sarazen, the only member of the old school to hang on, has certainly matched it on numerous occasions after pass-ing 45. Sammy Snead isn't one of the kids. He isn't a new arrival. He was peeling the hide off par 20 years ago. And he's still the best we have, especially with Ben Hogan unable to meet the killing P.G.A. f j v 1 70. The late Hal Sims, who knew how to win a bet, had Snead for his caddie in those days. Sam toted the golf bag barefooted. Hal would say to some opponent who could break QA 'TM1 W onji en Grantland Rice much my caddie '" can beat you." Hal's1 opponent would take a look at barefoot Sam, then around 15 or 16 years old, and bet plenty. Where-upon' young Sam would turn in a 69 Dr a 70. This year of 1950 is many, many years later. Sammy Snead is now practically bald-- ' headed. But there is still a ' grin on his lips, a twinkle in his eye and close companion-ship with his galleries. He is a good actor and a real com-edian. He is a friendly guy you can't help but like. Above all, he has the finest swing In golf today. Many who know will tell you he has the finest swing of all time, Including Bobby Jones and Harry Vardon. Sammy carries big galleries be-cause he stirs up their admiration by his brilliant play from tee to green and then calls on their sym-pathy by often blowing two and three-foo- t putts to prove he is strictly human. On the days when he is putting well he has no one close. He is the only golfer I know who can putt raggedly and still keep close to the top. Snead led the field in earnings and scoring through 1949. He is on his way to do the same in 1950. Counting his share In the big money tournaments in California, Arizona and the recent Texas Open, Sam-uel Jackson had a winning total of $7,558 so far for 1950. This is a lead of $3,000 over second-plac- e Jimmy Demaret. Snead is slowly wending his way to Florida and more tourn-aments. "1 generally don't get along until I reach Florida," he told me. "The put tin' miseries keep me back until then. This time I've started earlier. Maybe I'll flop quicker." Snead has ran 2 in most of his starts to date. Tins is terrific pace against golfers shooting 63's and 65's, not an uncommon experience over these western courses. It takes 10 under par to get in the money, and 15 or 16 nnder par tournament schedule. m Fifty-Ye- ar Ratings Most of the or half cen-tury ratings of leading athletes have been quite sound. A few haven't. For example, as Ed Bar-row expressed it, "Cobb should have been much closer to Ruth. As great as the Babe was, he wasn't quite as good as Cobb." Barrow in his heart puts Hans Wagner over both men as the greatest ballplayer of all time. John McGraw backed him up. The main idea being that a great infielder has something on a great outfielder for usefulness. Another error came in rating Walter Hagen so far down. Hager won eleven national titles. Neithei Hogan nor Nelson nor Snead has ever come close to this .ecord. One trouble is that so many oi those voting never saw the Hager from 1914 through 1930. Hagen with-out any question had the finesl tournament disposition of them all, with Ben Hogan second. Hagen wor five P.G.A. titles, four of them in s row from 1924 through 1927. H won 29 out of 30 consecutive matches in P.G.A. championships. Let's see the name of anyone else who ever matched this. Hagen wor two U.S. and four British Opens against the finest golfers. The Case of Blackwell One of baseball's leading trag-edies is the case of Ewell Black well. There is some hope this sea-son that the tragedy might be turned into melodrama, similar t the stories of Ben Hogan anc Citation. Three years ago, Blackwell was the best pitcher in baseball, bar ring nobody at all. He pitched with the Reds and twe or three days later pitched eight innings of another The Fiction ALMOST A MISTAKE Corner JORDAN had a swell AARON 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 Minute crazy to get by in 3- - Fiction i!oU,y7d-J,?- e , "Are we going to live In HoDywood?" 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. 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?" KARON 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. Wowl I'm almost crazy!" That one word had become the bane "Me, too," Sally agreed. 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-dan- s 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, pwwspwwi "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 a nearby stationery store. BY INEZ GERHARD WENDELL COREY, "hotter than 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 COREY "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 inherits the role Corey turned down in "A Life of Her Own," right back wnere 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 which Eliza-beth Taylor stars, will be released soon after her marriage. "Operation.
