Town of Barnstable
Cape Cod ,
January 27, 1949,
Hear Theodosia:
Stories about pet animals are al-
ways interesting, 1 think , and I
don 't know hut wbat some other
animals than pets can be , too. I
have beard tell of skunks treated
us pets, although I must confess
they wouldn 't appeal to me. How-
ever , we should feel kindly toward
all animals, pets or not. and even
if we sometimes have to take meas-
ures to get rid of them , we can act
humanely.
Speaking of skunks, I did bear a
good story about one the other day.
It happened some time ago, but
that doesn 't lessen the effectiveness
of the tale.
A family discovered a skunk In
the cellar. They hesitated to go
down to tend the furnace, even
though it was cold winter weather.
Hut the moment came when the
furnace could no longer be neglect-
ed, and one of the members of the
famil y ventured. Putting on an old
bathrobe, she went boldly down.
Seeing Ihe skunk silling there , she
said to him . "See here, now , Mr.
Skunk, you nnd I have got to be
friends , for it won 't do for us to be
enemies. I' ve got to put coal on the
lire and my Intentions toward you
are entirely peaceable," The little
skunk seemed to understand, for
he stayed where he was and watch-
ed the coal shoveled In.
A little later a young man came
along anil, being told of the pres-
ence of the skunk , said he had bad
considerable experience with them
and had developed his own tech-
nique for getting rid of them. He
went down cellar with a piece of
[ stove pipe , a bag, a sweater, and
some skunk food. Placing his
sweater in one end of the pipe, he
threw the food along the lloor end-
| ing with a morsel inside the pipe.
I The skunk followed this line , eat-
ing up the food , and finally entered
the open end of the stove pipe,
whereupon his captor clamped the
1 hag over the end of the pipe, und
walked .out with Mr . Skunk nicely
bagged.
Your loving
Aunt Jane.

"Woman's Rights." The lecture -
took the opposite view from thai

ject. He represented women 's
rights to consist chiefly in the per-
formance of domestic duties , in

Memories of

The Cape Needs Light Industries
The following paragraph is quoted from the Patriot of
May 2, 1865 :
The Company recently formed in Hyannis for the manufacture
of Bond's new- Patent Parlor Stove, will erect their Foundry near
the Machine Shop of the Cape Cod Railroad Company, In the course
of a few weeks. Parties have already purchased Patent rights of
the States of New York and New Jersey, for sums we believe, ex-
ceeding $5000 , and extensive sales are expected the coming season.
How this new business progressed we do not know. We
tlo know, however , t h a t there have been and there are a few
light industries established on Cape Cod. The candle concerns
i n Hyannis and Truro are well known ; also , the fisheries plants
in Barnstable and Provincetown, the fish-packing concern in
Woods Hole, a small factory in Bass River for making a very
tine precision instrument. Others include several industries in
F a l m o u t h and Hyannis—gloves, cement blocks, stone crusher,
eye glass frames in the former ; hot asphalt plants, building
supplies, cement mixer, pearl factory, cannery in the latter.
Bourne has a sun glass factory ; Truro a perfume factory. We
have a business specializing in building moderate-cost dwellings.
This is just, to name ,as examples, a few Cape industri es
that come readily to mind. The Sandwich glass works, the rail-
road car shops in Sagamore, the ship-building, the salt work s
recall the past , with boat-building still found today.
Cape Cod has a seasonal unemployment problem. Many
workers are needed for the expanded summer trade, but there
is not sufficient industrial and commercial activity to take up
t h e slack w h i c h follows in the period from October to April
Thi s year fewer are receiving unemployment benefits t h a n a
year ago, but t h e welfare load is climbing. The veterans' load
is less, i n d i c a t i n g t h a t they are either working or in school .
There is not much i n t e r c h a nge of workers among the vari-
ous Cape districts. If t h e r e were, no such situation could have
arisen as t h a t where a small manufacturing plant in a lower
Cape c o m m u n i t y need s several women workers. The workers.
though available in t h i s area , cannot easily shift locations. In
the aforementioned community, t h e r e are no un emp loyed and
mi welfare recipients.
Retired per sons like to seek (.'ape Cod as a h ome. Would
it not be fine if a few men and women in t he vigor and prime
of life came here U< s t a r t s u i t a b l e light industries, which could
operate in tensively in the winter months and ab sorb the poten-
tial labor ? If such industries slackened in the s u m m e r, the
arrangement would be perfect.
We are open to suggestions. What are suitable new indus-
tries for Cape Cod .
' W r i t e in and tell us, and we will give it
publicity , hop ing th ereby to bring together p arties t h a t can
i n i t i a t e such enterprises.
The following notice has come in w i t h i n t h e last two days
from the Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce, signed by Norman
II. Cook , its executive secretary , It is interesting, in connection
with our subject.
One of our small Cape Cod Industries wants job lots of stitch-
ing. Articles suggested that they feel they can offer competitive
prices on are the following:
Lightweight work clothing, bags, aprons, house
dresses, children 's clothes, buttonholing, etc., aud
other detailed types of stitching.
Their sewing equipment is modern and adequate. Operators
and inspectors are carefully trained , skillful and conscientious.
Concern has never had labor troubles. The wage scale Is reason-
able and the overhead low .
The owners will consider installation of additional or special
equipment if the volume of business warrants.
Your cooperation with the above request will be appreciated.
Address all replies to the Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce, 298
Main Street, Hyannis, Massachusetts.
"What A Dime Can Do"
W h a t it Dime Can Do " is the title of a new song. It enumer-
ates the specific services which i n f a n t i l e paralysis cases re-
ceive und er the national program. The author of the song is
Judy Canova, who is also appearing on special television and
radio shows in aid of the March of Dimes campaign.
Th e campaign is moving on toward its closing date of
January 3
1
. On last count, contributions were 10 per cent be-
hind those of corresponding date last year. The figures should
be brought up by increased gifts as well as by new contribu-
tors, for the demand has increased. During the past year nine
active cases in Barnstable County have been hel ped from funds
raised in the campaign a year ago.
Half of the money raised in Barnstable County stays here
for local use. The other half is sent to national headquarters.
This is given to hosp itals and some to colleges, where it is
available for research in a national effort to stamp out the
disease of poliomyelitis ( i n f a n t i l e paralysis). Much of the money
comes to Massachusetts hospitals. Harvard and Simmons Col-
leges ar e recipients, for research purposes.
This is tin i m p o r t a n t cause, for which you are asked to give.
For your convenience, contributions may be sent to March of
Dimes, Hyannis, Massachusetts.
Campaign chairman for Barnstable County is Daniel J.
Fern.
Erratum
In one of the editorials last week, the case of the parking
meters proceeds was stated as $7,862.50 representing 25% of
the total intak e from July 10 to J a n u a ry one. This was mis-
leading. The amount was the total intake during that period ,
and out of it 75',< went, toward payment of the meters and
25% to the town for operating expenses of the system. A read-
ing of the lust para graph would have shown the first part of
Ihe editorial to be a mis-statement
.
Pen Points
A Woman went to buy u drinking bowl for her dog, and
he shopkeeper asked h er if she would like one with the in-
icription, "For the Dog. "
It really doesn 't matter," she replied, "My husband never
Irinks water, and the dog can 't read.

if ilieiv were Fewer men in office in our government it
would be better for bite country. Whenever there is a change
nnd n now inuii takes over he immediately starts to think up
some new scheme to spend more money, raise salaries , raise
Wilges, raise l u xe s , devel op new t h i n g s regardless of eircunt-
s t n nr e s - jiisl b ecause t h e y would seem to be a little better on
tin- surface.
It money would mure often be
pm Into something thai could be
self supporting if would help, bill
i„ have a deficit year after year.
lulling more and more to keep II
going or else let It run to waste or
be abandoned seems like poor man-
agement, II looks as If "Soak the
Ric h ," lliiey Long 's slogan, may
now be used as a way of grabbing
whnt others have accumulated by
thrifty methods, If the promoters
of this system cannot see how it
will work out they are not lit to
carry on, Thinking people are not
fooled.
Taking large sums in taxes from
big business concerns is one of the
quickest ways to make the cost of
living rise higher and higher , and
put more people living on email
Incomes Into the class that has to
be helped. They resent this.
Dig companies have many stock-
holders . . . In order to give them
something for their investments
and pay the ever increasing price
of materials and wages and have
money for the upkeep and expan-
sion of the property they must keep
it surplus on band for bad times
and changes In Ihe business world
—disasters, wars and unforeseen
events. If the government takes
more and more from them in taxes
thai will be allowed for, it will lie
passed on through many hands to
their customers and added to the
price of everything they produce
nml sell. These men are not in
business to work and provide work
for thousands oi people ami run
the risk of bankruptcy. They are
in il to make all they can and they
will or else elose down and then
there would be no work for anyone.
There seems to be no signs of les-
sening government expenses. By
raising all their salaries now they
lose their lasl chance of holding
down strikes or stay ing the rising
Scale of wages.
Strikers wilt now have some rea-
son Io say in n noil of the head Ol
II ballot you have and can take
imy salary you waul. We have to
net il hy a strike . . . what' s the
difference, they might say. Ex-
Presiden t Hoover was the onlj
president who did not take his sal-
icy. He ought to have a distin-
guished service medal . I hear that
nearly all of our presidents have
heen very rich men.
Mr. Truman Is an exception -but
be will be better off when be goes
nut of office .
Let us he thankful we have some
rich men who can afford to he geu-
eroifs, I wonder what use that sal-
ary was put to, it might well havt
been applied to the national deb
as it belonged to all the people,
ami not frittered away with no at
counting at all. I hope it went into
something useful . . . hut I doiihi
it. You would t h i n k to hear some
of the Democrats talking in the last
election that Mr . Hoover was ' re-
sponsible for all the depression we
had In the past, In my opinion un-
less something almost miraculous
baiipens and people have a change
of heart we will see some dark days-
of depression . . . before we get
out of this cold war.
Perhaps the most elaborate and
spectacular Inauguration in our his-
tory has now taken place. Tickets
have brought high prices for this
celebration and money was freely,
spent in Washington during this
exciting period iu our history—so
maybe somebody will benefi t by
it. Poor people can stand on the
sidelines if there is room and
make believe they see a moving
picture by television. Of course
they have to contribute their mite
to pay for it but it's only once iu
four years. Take it all in all, It
was a great pageant. We know
.vhat kind of a hat or necktie all
the men had on and what beauti-
ful gowns Hie ladies wore.
I suppose Murguret pink will be
fashionable for the spring. The
President spoke with great ;on-
(Idence of what lie plans foi this
country to do. He seems to feel
that we have a good chance of re-
storing or working out a way to
get pence all over the world. Well ,
he will surely be a regular saviour
if he does.
The Wide has heen talking about
peace on earth , good will to men
for hundreds of years without much
success. If the President has any
better chance or way of bringing
it about it will be a miracle. It was
interesting to know that the Bible
used was to rest en a little table
that once belonged to a Cape Cod-
der an 1 was used al the inaugura-
tion o. President Lincoln . The Bible
Itself was In two volumes wei ghing
25 pounds. It win fund hod |y bin
homo town and paid foi' by the
Chamber of Commerce at a cost
of $FI UI)JO. It was an exac' i epllca
of the original Outenbe Bible
printed about 1466, It &as ,..ie of
the Bib.es printed in Germany in
1918-14,
Well If he keeps his solemn oath
to uphold and defend the Consti-
tution of the United States of
America it will make little differ-
ence what copy of the Bible he
swore it on. I hope that Constitu-
tion rill be left alone and not
meddled with too much.
Did you ever see or hear of a
President and bis famil y any bet-
tef pleased with themselves and
Ihe life they are entering into foi
the next four years? The hours,
spent by the President touring the
country, running down the Eight-
ieth . Congress bus surely paid big
dividends—besides his $100,000 —
he can now spend bis $90,000 for
a n y t h i n g he wants to, without ac-
counting tor it to anyone . . . just
put down for l\js own record—bad
SOU ,(Kill; spent It all. Well we can
only hope that we may find the
right road at last and then follow
it Io Ihe end . It seems strange
that so many different ideas can
exist about life In general. Wbat
is happening to humanity.
I read in a paper recently thut In
Long Beach , California, a child
live years old has been ordained to
the ministry and has married a.
couple already. 11 seems incredible
—ordained to one of the most hon-
ored and sucred orders in the
world—requiring spiritual gifts and
knowledge and solemn responsibil-
ity pertaining to the redemption
of mankind and the fulfilling of
other dalles of a spiritual nature.

Dr. Schultz is u former chairman
and current member of the hoard
of trustees of the Massachusetts
Congregational Conference and also
a former moderator of the Confer-
| ence—the only Cape minister to
| serve in that capacity during his
pastorate in that area.
Mrs. Scbultz is the former Janel
Austin Prince of Hlngham. They
have two children , Carl . Jr., 18, and
j Martha Janet . 11.
During his sermon last Sunday,
when his church was packed for
both morning services with nearly
•100 persons from all over Cape Cod,
Dr. Schultz said that the church
does far more to make a minister
than an ordination council. Forty
new members were taken into the
church.
The Boston papers lasl Sunday
carried accounts of Dr. Scbultz '
career In the ministry, with pic-
tures of both him and the Hyannis
church. These articles were in-
spired by a lay religious leader in
Hyannis, who feels that other .Vow
England churches might well pat-
tern after our own local church.
Many learned of the anniversary
first through these outside sources,
and , after Sunday, Dr. Schultz was
honored with a beautiful bouquet
of flowers from the Cape Cod Syn-
agogue and with telegrams from
friends, former parishioners, sum-
mer guests, and members of the
Synagogue.
Iu further observance of his or-
dination on January 22, 1924, and
in recalling his first sermon in
Hyannis as a supply, January Ti,
192S, Dr. Schultz will preach this
coming Sunday, January 31), 1949,
on the theme, "Vision and Revi-
sion in 11149," the same theme used ,
with a change in dates , in 1028 on
his first becoming pastor here and
again in 1939, Uai nstable 's Tercen-
tenary year.

The mother of six sons and one
daughter , Mrs. Taylor was named
this year the "Massachusetts
Mother of the Year."
Besides being a world traveler,
she is a student of history as a
background for her keen appraisals
of current happenings both nation-
al and international. She is a grad-
uate of W'ellesley College.
The series has been planned as a
benefi t for the Cape Cod Hospital
Aid Association, Tickets for the
remaining lectures , which will
come on February 2:>
, and March 2,'i,
may be obtained from Mrs. Louis
Woodland , West Barnstable; Mrs.
James I,. Chute, llsterville; Mrs.
John Hinckley, Hyannis; Mrs.
Frank Travers, Barnstable; Mrs.
Reginald, Holies , Cotuit , and Mrs.
Lawrence Grimes, Centerville.
Presiding at last night's session
was Mrs. W a l t e r Baker ol Hyan-
nis. whose guest Mrs. Taylor was.
In her address, Mrs. Taylor
showed a grasp of the world situa-
tion, both economic and political.
Declaring that the I'nited States
was close to war last July and
"very near " to it in December, she '
expressed the opinion that the !
I' nited States has no statesmen |
aud has had none since Monroe in !
1821. "But", she added , "we have
had no foreign enemy to train ' 1
them on, we were growing up un-
der England's umbrella."
Acclaiming the present "pro-
west" attitude of President Tru-
man rather than the "anti-ltussia"
attitude preceding it , Mis. Taylor
attested to her love of America. I
saying it is stronger than any other
nation in the world , because found-
ed and fostered on the worship of
Cod.
