THESE WOMEN ! by Clara J. Hallett
This is your Kudu " Station 213 Ofcean , NoK .
We welcome to its plftce on oil* wall the old Farmer's
Almanac for 1949, For 157 years it has serve d New England
and each year it gives us more and more information oti a great
number of subjects as tbe world grows and new inventi ons , umi
new methods of doing things dome about,
In all these years, with the high
cost of product ion increasing all
the lime and a larger book , it has
only increased 15 cents in price
from 10 ceil Is to 25 cents. A lot of
Information tor 25 cents!
How the weather man can tell so
much about what the weather will
be during the coming year is (|Uite
remarkable, for the old Almanac is
often a good prophet. 1949 is not
like the slute of the nation which
according to the President is so
"good."
it starts In saying plenty of bud
weather, it will be icy, so "butIon
up your overcoat." "The northwest
wind never died In debt to a so'-
euster." There will be very high
tides in the middle of each month.
Will the water come over the bulk-
head as it did In 1944. That' s a con-
stant worry. Storms, strong winds,
cold, snow und ruin prevail all
through April it's ruin und unpleas-
ant weather . Showers for Fustei—
What no lovely Faster bonnets and
gorgeous gowns for the Easter Pa-
rade, .Must the beauty of it all be
spoiled by umbrellas, sweaters,
ruin coats, rubber boots and over-
shoes or will they march along in
their gay apparel rain or shine,
Unprotected no matter what comes.
The month of May is a little bet-
ter, starling clear , but turning hu-
mid and sultry as il goes on. Does
that mean a lot of fog— I hope not.
Then comes June, starting with
rain and ending with rain—but With
nice weather between times. 1 hope
Its some of those perfect days so
often sung by pools . 1 find by my
diary that last June started in
foggy, rainy and miserable, but we
had nice piazza weather later on,
July will have changeable weath-
er—you would think that was some
new kind for New England, When
did we ever have any other kind.
Murk Twain Bald ; "If you don 't like
the weather, just wait a while" -
there's no telling whut il will be
Inter, but the Old Farmer's says
showers, muggy, ruin.
August begins with thunder-
storms. If there's anything I hate
it' s tempestuous weather . . . wake
up from u sound sleep Willi bung,
bung, flash , flash , and With all win-
dows open—is ii raining In—you
hope nobody will be hurt or prop-
erty damaged or lires set in
there's nothing you can do about
il , hut think of a lot of things that
could happen und wait for it to be
over. I' m ng'in ' it. It will be hot
for a while Ibis month but tbe lust
of tbe month frosts muy come.
September starts in with good
weather . . . we usually have grand
weather in the fall—last fall was
beautiful and lasted a long time—
we began to think winter had for-
gotten all about Cape Cod , but no
such luck , for the Almanac says
rain and maybe bad storms last of
tbe month .
October starts with, nice cool
zippy weather, very high tides and
toward the lust of the month this
one will be foul. Sounds anything
but good.
November It could snow; time
to don your woolles (robins in the
old days), snow and ut last winter
has come to stay.
December comes blustering in.
It evidently thinks it will have no
other chance this year to show
what it can really do, but it does-
n't look as bad through the month
and there's always Christmas ahead
and lots to do, although it says
"colder—no comfort in these days."
What a gloomy Gus, so ends the
year. It looks as If good waslt days
would be rew and far between for
the ones who still have to depend
on outdoor service.
We find puzzles and interesting
ads as usutil. Here's one: "Slowly
rising thirsts begin in May . . .
Drink Cliuuot Club Beverages-
aged ginger ale—old stuff ."
Boston Five Cents Savings Band
—Fusy to make deposits and with-
drawals." Sure thing, there's one
little difficulty they don 't mention.
You must have money to put In or
you can't take any out. That may
he the hardest thing to get extra
money to put In. "Eddie, the Cigar
Man , IS going to slash his prices—
especially on aluminum pipes ."
Well , I don 't smoke but I warn
you. Eddie, be careful , don 't cut
yourself—slashing is dangerous,
l.ydia IMnkhum is still on the j »h
—so everything is under control.
It ' s going to be bad for Lyddy and
a lot of her kind If the President
over succeeds In getting free med-
ical care rot- everybody—or will
people buy more of every kind of
drug—but why call It free medical
service—somebody has to pay for
everything. It won 't hel p healthy
people—they will be tbe lucky ones
but will also have to pay with-
out getting any benefit—they will
be that much out. Some give , some
get—it was always so—it will al-
ways be so.
"The wind bloweth where it lis-
leth ," but nevertheless you can
get a Cape Cod Wind Indicator at
llarwichport , Mass. Keep up tn
date, don 't depend on straws to
tell which way the wind blow: .
Don 't forget Ihe Yankee Maga-
zine, published in Dublin , New
Hampshire. There are interesting
items in its ml columns-. If yen
want to swap what you have for
what you don 't have and never ex-
pected to have, why somebody has
it In Yankee. No matter what you
.want to know, whether it' s weath-
er , motor vehicles, law , holidays,
plantin g, growing, harvesting,
plants and vegetables , sclent itl c re-
search , postal rates, etc., you
couldn 't begin to tell what you
can find out by and through the
Old Farmer's Almanac.
Then there's "Mlss-cellaneous."
She's some "gul"—she covers and
lakes In everything that's left over
—and don 't forget the moon, the
stars and the planets. Don 't think
you know all about the solar sys-
tem because you hud a few lessons
In Astronomy. The Old Fanner's
Almanac is full of Information
about the heuvenly bodies. FoVB
months this year have live Sunday*
each—January, May, July and Oc-
tober . Four more sermons for min-
isters lo prepare und deliver. Four
more Sundays tor footbull , base-
ball , sports and movies . . . thai
have seemed to make Sunday just
like any other day of the week.
For better or worse—that's cue
thing the almanac will not decide
for you.
Although our world seems to
change rapidly some things con-
tinue—maybe under a different
name, but fundamentally the same.
Take greed . . . getting something
for nothing. Abraham Lincoln wus
walking out with his two sons
They were crying. He met a neigh-
bor: "What's the matter with the
boys?" "The same thing that's the
matter with the whole world ," saiil
Lincoln. "I have three walnuts and
each boy wants two of them"—
Q.F.A.
High water, low water, sunrise
and sun set—new moon, full moon,
short days or long—consult the Old
Farmer 's Almanac . . . you can 't
go wrong.

Conservation For Cape Cod
Th ere is a lesson for every Cape Cod pr o p e r t y owner in
t h e story on the first page about the soil conservation work
t h a t is being undertaken here . We have too long neglected
the agricultural and fore stry p ossibilities of onr soil, forsaking
it in the pur suit of summer bnsiness. There lias been no neglect
of the latter. We ha ve pushed it, to the limit of our resources.
There is n o t h i n g wrong about doing that, however; but there
is a d e f i n i t e wrong in overlooking the best good of our soil
resources. Years a go the Cape was dotted w i t h small farms
which , t o a considerable extent , were g i ven up as summer
business grew sizeable. We should like to see those farms again.
In common with the rest of the country, we have withheld
at tention from our soil u n t i l erosion is reaching the danger
poin t . Not onl y can tha t waste be prevented, bul much of a
c o n s t r u c t i v e n a t u r e can be done w i t h our soil und our wooded
areas which will m a k e t h e m continuous assets. Read the full
story on page one.

The Gift
Once, lon g ago, a friend gave me a book
Of poems—gems, the fr u i t of many minds ;
I read them , thoughtless of the toil they took—
The words moved softly as a stream t h a t winds.
But now I know t h e lines I glibl y read
Perhaps were born of pain , a broken heart ;
Regret that followed with its stealthy tread—
The arrow of remorse with searching dart.
For wisdom comes w i t h time 's stern tut elage ;
The years are k eys, u n l o c k i n g many a d o u r;
And sometimes as 1 read mUt b l u r s t h e page,
Here soul meets soul , a precious golden store.

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Dear Theodosla:
It seems as though I am renew-
ing my youth. What do you think
1 did the other night'.
' 1 went and
watched some real, old-fashioned
square dancing. You probably want
to ask me why I didn't take part
In it? Well, I didn 't, that' s all. The
catch of the music made my feet
want to go. but I should have
thought those dancers would be
dizzy. How they did whirl around
and around. They were having such
a good time, it did our hearts good
to see them. Yes, I went with your
Great Aunt Susanna and she en- '
joyed it as much" as I did. We
clapped and clapped with the best I
of them. I
The little boy ol 9 who did some
of the calling was too cute for
w i n d s You should have seen him.
lie put one hand In his trouser 's
pocket and with the other , held
the microphone to his mouth. How
he did sing out the calls. No adult
caller performed any better than
he did. The audience was much tak-
en with him. In a way, he stole
the show. He came down from
Bridgewater to be there.
There are rumors of more square
dance festivals to come, particular-
ly of one next summer to be held
out of doors. If so, you may be
here yourselves, some of you , and
I shall strongly recommend your
going to it.
Your loving
Aunt .lane.
