Page 12 Friday, October 20, 1978 I have decided to give to the' world my ideas, stratagems and devices designed to improve the lot of suffering humanity and make life worth living in the unforeseeable future. 1. THE UNIFORM SPEED LIMIT -- All cars on a designat- ed stretch of highway would proceed at the same speed, say, fifty miles and hour. This means that no car would pass any other car and therefore the chances of an accident would be greatly reduced. 2. THE RUBBER AUTO- MOBILE -- An automobile cast in hard rubber so that on impact with another car of the same material, it would simply bounce back rather than crumpling in a mass of twisted steel. The pos- sibility of death or injury would be greatly reduced. According to my calculations two hard rubber automobiles meeting head on at sixty miles an hour would bounce back for a total distance of roughly two miles. While this would entail some inconvenience and slight delay in a journey, it beats ending up in_ hospital, doesn't it? 3. THE CIRCULAR AUTO- MOBILE or "SSPHEREOBILE"' -- This vehicle shaped like a hemisphere with glass all round, has a motor underneath, rides on two main wheels with a third wheel for steering. The interior is fitted out like an ordinary living room, with easy chairs, television and magazine racks. It combines luxury, high gas Beaver Bob' Stratagems and Devices mileage and versatility. It can turn on a dime and is no trouble parking. Top speed about 45 m.p.h. 4. THE PLASTIC IGLOO -- I have talked to a lot of Eskimos about this little number and they are very enthusiastic. In fact, I am led to believe that a large. corporation is interested. These igloos are simply stamped out on an assembly line, painted to show blocks of snow and sent up north to the Eskimos. This device takes care of the problem of summer habitation when there is no snow to build an igloo. The plastic igloo is ready to fill in the breach. 5. THE HEMISPHERE HOUSE -- This is a variation on the above for urban use. The units are hemispherical in shape, stamped out in plastic with an inner and outer shell. The space between the two shells provides insulation and wiring. Windows made of glass or clear plastic, slightly rounded are simply slid into place on site. The unit is fully wired for all services, hydro, telephone, heat, appliances, TV, etc. The unit is set down on a concrete pad or similar foundation and all that is required to activate it fully for light, heat and power, is to plug in to the nearest hydro source. The householder secures his own water supply. If additional space is required second and third units may be ordered, furnished as required. Each unit is stamped out on an assembly line basis, fully wired, like a transist- or radio, at very low cost. 6. FUTURE CITIES -- We are now fighting a holding action against pollution, overcrowding and mass insanity which grips populations subjected to the above conditions. Within three generations, cities will exist in space to take care of earth's surplus population. Each city will contain about one million inhabitants. Each city will consist of a gigantic air bubble, shot into space from earth and constantly refreshed by air manufacturing processes on earth and in space. Within the air bubble there will be mass housing, traffic belts, space cars and all facilities required to maintain life. Earth will become a gigantic vegetable garden supplying protein to the space cities, as well as oxygen, hydrogen and carbon. There will be a continuing space shuttle from earth to space supplying necessities of life. For the first few hundred years conditions may be slightly primitive in comparison with future standards. Since these will not have come into exist- ence, no comparison will be possible. Eventually air bubbles will be landed on the moon, Mars, Venus and Saturn, making it possible to colonize these planets. Air and water will be manufactured by chemical pro- cesses or imported from earth. Because of the lack of gravity, bodies will become weightless and gradually atrophy, becom- ing long, attenuated append- ages, like the roots of vegetables or trailing seaweed. None of this will matter, since humanity in space will communicate tele- pathically. Some creatures will remain on earth to look after the vegetables and maintain a flow of human reproduction. I hope to be among them. CASTOR REVIEW CVisiting with Dorothy Marquette Mr. and Mrs Ronald Clayton of Montreal were week-end guests of Mr. and Mrs Walter Kinkaid.
