ROSEBURG NEWS-REVIEW, ROSEBURG, OREGON, THURSDAY, JANUARY 15. 1948 THIRTEEN Philosopher Looks Forward to Happy Century No. 21 By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK (.P Tomorrow Is Just today with circles under Its eyes. Yet many people (to on believ - ing that the future is sure to be better than the past like a small boy who thinks the Ice cream cone he hasn't the money to buy would taste a lot better than the one he Just ate. Why? Is there anything a sen sible man can admit about the fu ture except that it probably lies ahead? But by Ouija board and crystal ball, by tea leaves and horo scopes, the effort still goes on to plot the happy life in the world to be. Someone even has figured out a way in night clubs here to forecast coming events by the shapes ice cubes assume as they melt in the glass. The usual con clusion by the hyDnotized patron is that it is about time to buy an other drink. The other day members of the Advertising Club of New York sealed into the cornerstone of their new building a number of predictions on how Amricans will live in faraway 2004. the year the club celebrates its hundredth anniversary. There was little held out attrac tive enough to make a middle aged man of todav want to hang around overtime just to greet these dubious benefits of the twenty-first century. Here's Clothti Forecast A man who canvassed clothing designers, for example, came up with this soul-clabbering portrait of the dame of tomorrow: "Women will carry their own little flying machines in Jewelled handbags and fly through the air with irridescent wings. Clothes will contain their own air-conditioning units. "The great immodesty will be public exposure of eyes. Men and women will dress verv much alike. Clothes will be mechanical ly contrived and electrically con trolled." Isn't that something to look forward to! Ladies flapping about like Junebugs, flying blind be cause they don't dare show their glimmers for fear of losing their reputation! Or maybe glaring at you through a periscope because you splashed mud on their rain bow wings.

I feel a heat wave coming up my ankles." Or when you poked a hole In your sock, you'd have to beg the wife, "Hone" can't you sew up the rheostat so I won t be late to the office? Before you changed suits you'd have to pour water In the battery and check the coat with a wheautone briedge and a voltmeter. With man and wife dressing alike there'd no longer be any doubt about who wore the pants In the family. (As If there It now! ) Other Possibilities Of course this strange new world will probably have other compensations to make it more liveable for people afraid to go out In a storm in their 2004-mod-el electrically-wired raincoat un less it has a lightning rod. too. Racehorses that you la" $2 on will probably be guaranteed to run on wheels Instead of their knees. Paychecks will be of rub ber and stretch enough to pay all bills, including the one for jun ior's new atom-powered helicopt er. Golf will have all its temper fraying uncertainties removed, as it will be plaved with balls equip ped with built-in radar that al ways assure a hole-in-one aver age. Oh, the future will have its ad vantages, and our antiseptic orogeny will probably enjoy it. But we'll stick with the dirty old grrnvbit world of todav. The hardest thing about any life is getting used to it and we're used to this one. Lobbying Probe Set for District of Columbia WASHINGTON.

Game Resources Of Alaska Being Ruined, Assertion WASHINGTON, Jan. 13. CP) Wolves, airplanes and an in flux of what he described as trig- Xer-happy job-seekers, are ruining laska's game resources. Earl N. Ohmer, chairman of the Alaska Game Commission said today. Ohmer, a businessman of Petersburg, 100 miles south of Juneau, and a resident of Alaska 32 years, flew o Washington to "Bend the ear of everyone in Congress" on territorial wildlife problems. "Alaska gets $175,000 a year for game law enforcement and fish and wildlife administration less than any state," Ohmer told reporters. "With $200,000 additional, we could just barely hold the line on our game resources. We could double our game law enforce ment, which now consists of seven officers for an area one fifth the size of the United States. Alaska's resources have "slipped !
