NEW BUSINESS OPENING
Mr. Laurence Bearse Is present-
ly sending out cards, announcing
the opening of his new shop for do-
ing fine woodwork ,—"builders ' fin-
ish," on South Main Street near
his home. Mr. Bearse has been
building up a reputation with
woods for some time and his new
proposition will be welcomed both
by those In the building business
and by the man who wishes to
bulk! or improve his own home.
Friends are welcome and invited to
visit the new shop and see at first
hand plans and materials. Orders
are already coming in . assuring
Mr. Bearse of welcome for his ven-
ture. Centerville and its environs
will find it a pleasure 'as well as
profitable to deal with our own ris-
ing young townsman.
CHRISTMAS LIGHTS
The Christmas lights have grown
lim and are gone for another year
out their meaning should linger to
make our lives and those of others
sappier and better. Traditiona lly
turned on on Christmas Eve in [
honor of the natal night of the
Christ and lit until All Souls
(Twelfth Night ) when houses were
larkened because for a few hours
the souls of all departed , good and
evil, were let loose to wander
imong the scenes of their earthly
life for a few hours, our lights we
now burn for as long as possible
and they brighten the countryside
and touch the sky with their glow-
ing colors.
BURN GREENS TONIGHT
The coming function of the Li-
brary, which will be "The Burning
]f the Greens" on Tweltth Night or
'The Night of All Souls" tonight
(Thursday) will be held on the Li-
brary grounds, if the weather so
indicates. As the Christmas deco-
rations burn in honorable pyre,
those present will form a ring
about the blaze and sing Christmas
songs. Although there are many
memories of summer to attract to
the beach, still the grounds are
more easily accessible and more
can enjoy the rite.
OPEN HOUSES
The pleasant custom of "Open
House" was not neglected in Cen-
terville on New Year 's Eve and
day. Col. and Mrs . George Blaney,
Mr. and Mrs. Burnham , and , as
usual, Mr. and Mrs. Nelson Bearse
invited friends, while many other
quiet ins and outs were enjoyed.
The lighted windows, the holiday
decorations, the cheery greetings
and the taste of "salt" after which
none can then be one's enemy but
must always be a friend make this
a lovely custom.
BIRDS POISONED.'
In some sections the birds seem
unusually lacking. It Is 'eared (and
admitted by some authorities) that
they fall a victim to the extreme
use of D.D.T. In these limes. Should
we not be very careful bow we use
this powerful poison '.' Olir country
side without birds Is not thinkable '
CAROLERS OUT CHRISTMAS
EVE
In spite of the Intense cold, which
shortened their evening. I lie Christ-
inas Carolers again made their
rounds , singing the hymns or the
season which sound so heavenly
on the frosty air . The village al-
ways awaits them.
SEND-OFF PARTY
On Wednesday evening, the 29th,
some twenty or the business asso-
ciates of Mr. II . S. Ktilght on the
Cape gave him a testimonial party,
In view of his recent appointment
to another district. Durin g a pleas-
ant evening in the new home , .Mr
Knight was presented a fine Kodak
camera and a Ronson gold pencil
and lighter. His guests , as well as
the neighbors and their many
friends , deepl y regret that in time
it will be necessary Tor Mr . and
Mrs. Knight and family to change
their home location.
NEW ARRIVALS
Mr. and Mrs . George Daniels and
son. Otis, of Ridgewood , N. J., who
have recently become owners or
Long Acre on Main Street , arrived
to occupy their new home on the
30th . The village extends a very-
cordial welcome to those who pur-
chase and carry on tor themselves
and others the traditional houses
of the street. Mr. and Mrs. Daniels
entertained over New Year 's, Mr.
John J, Hart of Paterson , N. J.,
Mr. W. R. Beatty of Owensboro,
Ky„ and Mr. Albert Curtin of New
Albany, Pa., and also Mrs. Daniels '
brother and wife, Mr. and Mrs.
Ronald B. McChesney, of Ridge-
wood, N. J., and their niece, Miss
Delia Ann Lawless, of Troy, N. Y.
CANDLE IN WINDOWS
It is pleasant to read that in
Austria all children are taught to
put a lighted candle in a front
window on Christmas Eve so that
the beloved Christ Child may" not
lose his way, as he comes down
the street. Perhaps the children ot
our town and Church School might
do the same another year.
DESSERT PARTY AND SALE
The Friendship Guild gives a
"Dessert Party " in the Vestry,
Tuesday afternoon of next week .

ville , through the Patriot. The real
Maine winter Is upon us—lirst
snowfall and three degrees this
morning. We like it very much
here anil the people are wholesome
and cordial . With all good wishes

The love and good wishes are for
all , we know. Mr. Douglas was not

good wishes have flown the return

South Yarmouth
The new bullein entitled "The
Cranberry Industry In Massachu-
setts", published by the Massachu-
setts Department of Agriculture is
now available at the Cape Cod
Extension Service.
This bulletin was computed as
a result of an Intensive survey
made during the winter of 1940-17,
and contains a vast amount of
data showing the trends of the in-
dustry since 1885.
For the state as a whole HIP
average annual production has in-
creased from 260,700 barrels tot
the ten year period , 1900 to 1SW,
to an annual average of 317,300 bar-
rels for the ten-year period , 1910
to 1919. Further Increases in an-
nual production were made in the
I ten-year period , 1920-1929 , with
' 368,300 barrels, and 412,400 bar-
rels for the ten-year average for
1930-1939. The highest annual aver-
age production ever recorded is
445 ,100 barrels for the period
1940-1947.
This upward trend In production
Is notable because It was made
when the acreage was comparative-
ly stable, so the Increases are tho
direct result of better bog manage-
ment.
While the bog acreage in Barn-
stable County haB declined since
recalling its maximum of 4,677
acreB in 1905
^
the rate of decline
between 1934' and 1946 has alBii
decreased. For example , the acre-
age in 1934 is given at 3,500 and
for 1946, 3359, a decline ot onVj
141 acres.
This decline in acreage has been
more than offset by the better care
given , and by improved flooding
facilities that have been Installed.
For example, in 1924 only 1,089
acres of bog had full flowage pro-
j ection, whereas In 1946, 1346 acres
had such protection. Dry bogs
whicli are considered the most
risk , as they cannot be protected
from frost, showed a decline of 927
acres in 1924 to 323 acres In 1946.
A further interesting trend
shown by this survey, is the in-
creased acreage per owner. In 1921,
1313 bog owners In Barnstable
County averaged to own 3.3 acres
of bog, while in 1946, 518 bog own-
ers averaged to own 6.4 acres.
This trend toward large acreage
per grower is the same trend that
lias been noticed with other farm
specialities, and is caused by eco-
nomic conditions. The use of mod-
ern machinery and high priced la
bor makes it necessary to operat*
larger units to obtain the greuttf'
efficiency in production.
Of special interest is the f&ct
that the 1946 crop in Barnstable
County reached 115,790 barrels, the
greatest yield recorded since 19*4.
when the cranberry ucreage was
831 acres larger than 1946.
