PLEASE DON'T FEED THE LIONS
When no unspoiled vista of the sea remains, when no open
hillside is left and when Cape Cod becomes just another over-
crowded concrete and macadam jungle, then there will be those
who will wake up and bemoan its fate.
Until that time , unless it is stopped , the unscrupulous real-
tors, developers of mass production suburbia and just everyday
shortsighted humans will hold sway. They will merrily toss what
was a lovely Cape Cod to the lions of commerce and the result
will be a chewed-up, undesirable pininsula with too many of the
wrong kind of people , too much traffic congestion , too many
match stick houses and too little of its former self left to
matter.
If the warnings of those who foresee the possibility of such
a future and the pleadings of our voteless summer resident tax-
payers are ignored and derided, the fate of the narrow land may
well be such a grim one.
The very people who think of zoning and conservation of
our open spaces as undemocratic infringements upon their rights
will, no doubt , be the first to complain as the Cape slips downhill
1o murky oblivion.
What is needed is more stringent and comprehensive zoning
in almost every Cape town. A complete overhaul of the present
codes is in order, and the sooner the better.
It is truly criminal to watch as choice a morsel as the Cape
fed to the greedy lions and stand idly by while it is cruelly
mangled and devoured.
EDITORIAL
MARGARET W. PERKIN8
Sometimes It's even rather pleas-
ant to be HI. In a minor sort ot
way, you understand , and I don't
mean to sound neurotic or like
Elizabeth Barrett Browning; in her
last decline although a proper sick-
ness has a little of both these
qualities.
Probably the Ideal illness, It I
may use such a term, Is the second
day ot an old-fashioned cold when
one halt stopped aching but is still
dripping. With rain coming down,
nobody about the house demanding
attention, and no pressing engage-
ments like being fourth in a bridge
tournament, I can be quite content
in a mildly uncomfortable way.
You understand I want no active
pain and nothing that requires a
fancy-priced antibiotic to cure it.
Although , if I can square the deal
with my conscience, I don't mind a
visit from the doctor just to have
my own diagnosis backed up by
competent opinion. The doctor
always brings with him an invigor-
ating whiff of wet tweed , pipe tobac-
co, ether,~ and authority, and his
visit breaks the monotony.
The ideal Illness shouldn't be
acute enough to Induce monotony,
of course. I should say that one
should be sick enough to wear a
robe and slippers but not so poorly
that one omits lipstick , and it
should be a good excuse to put on
girlish blue ribbons, too, which are
now so inappropriate but so sooth-
ing. Idylllcally, one should be ill
enough to be languid but not so
under the weather ns to he Irri-
table.
On tho bed but not in it, let's
say, and eyeB bloary enough not to
seem a malingerer but jUBt enough
fever to look a little flushed. Oddly
enough, I really look much healthier
when a temperature puts some pink
In my cheeks than when I'm per-
fectly well and a uniform tan color
nil over.
I like to be well enough so that
I can catch up on all the oddments
that need doing but miserable
enough to pile them all on the bed
and then take my time doing them.
The sort of illness I'm talking
about is perfect for working hand-
made button-holes, which no one in
her right mind would consider now-
adays with these sewing machines
that do everything but turn up the
hem. There's an Inordinate amount
of satisfaction in a well-turned but-
ton-hole, and I save all ours for a
day of gentle 111 health.
I like to darn socks in this con-
dition, too, because a sock, to be
properl y mended, should have its
holes woven, painstakingly the way
my grandmother taught me, and not
simply bunched together In unsight-
ly lumps. Mending socks, like but-
ton-holes , however, takes time and
the certain knowledge that you
won't have to go out to a Ladies'
Aid meeting before they 're half
done.
Of if I want to when I'm Interest-
ingly but not actively 111, I can rend
mystery stories all day long and not
feel a bit guilty. A mystery etory,
as everyone knows, should be read
only when a person can finish one
without interruptions. If there's
anything I resent it's having to get
up and put potatoes in the oven
just as tho heroine has been sand-
bagged ill an empty house.
If I'm being pleasantly 111 enough,
I can rend at least three of these
things between daylight and dark
and, fortunately I don't even re-
quire that I never have read them
before. There are, Indeed , a few
mysteries, like The Moonstone or
The Circular Staircase, that I've
read annually for a quarter of a
century ; and, moreover, so simple-
minded am I that I never remember
who the murderer is from one ses-
sion to the next.
Of course, If I'm well , I keep
having the nagging feeling that I
should be Improving my mind , or
ding historical research that no one
gives u tinker's hurrah about, or
rushing through a best seller so
that I'll be an interesting conver-
sation list. Fortunately, from the
throes of sinusitis no one ever
wants to listen to me, much less
be regaled by scintillating chit chat.
I liko to play bridge with myself,
too. It Is absolutely amazing how
wonderful I am when I play all
four hands. Every hand is a little
slam. I never get set. All my fi-
nesses work. It's miraculous. Ah,
well, there's Canfleld , too which
is a solitaire game but not the one
you think.
Among tho more interesting but
seldom acknowleged members of
my family you see, was my great-
grandfather 's first cousin, the fam-
ous Saratoga gambler who Invent-
ed this little stinker. Originally, I
understand a player paid $50.00 for
a brand new pack of cards, could
go through them just once, and if it
came out, won a thousand silver
fish.
The game, 1 may Bay Is not so
much complicated as It Is un-
cooperative, and I believe Canfleld
himself would never play It as his
one unswerving principle was never
to bet against himself. I've some-
times played this game for a whole
day without having It come out.
It Is also, I believe, called "Idiot's
Delight."
Anyone who thinks it's pleasant
to be ill is probably an idiot to
start with, but the only real draw-
back to my own pleusure Is that
I'm never ill enough to make the
family rustle Its own supper. As
once I'm up and frying liver, every-'
one figures I'm up to scratch and'
blooming with health, I might just
as well agree. One day of going into
a delightful decline is all I've ever
managed and, truth to tell, it's all
I'd ever want, either.

NEW SCHOOL NEEDED
"As anticipated , the big Item in
this year'B town meeting warrant
will be the request for a new
olementary school for Hyannis,
•the cost of which has been esti-
mated at about $1,000,00. Even a
superficial study of the situation
iii respect to Grades I to VI in Hy-
annis Indicates that this new Bchool
Is particularly a 'must', and the
town will probably vote for It.
"Th o new school, for a few years
least, will add about $1.30 to the
tax rate beginning in 1962. Being
much better off financially now than
wo can hope to be in 1962, we
should raise and appropriate toward
its cost at least $100,000, thereby
asuming this year a properly pro-
portionate share of the cost. Hav-
ing in mind that conditions in 1962
and 1963 wil lbe probably less fav-
orable financially, wo should also
avoid putting too much of the 'in-
evitable' for future years."
The selectmen's reference to the
approaching visit of the Mayor,
Mayoress and Town Clerk of Barn-
staple, England, Barnstable'* moth-
er town, M written In the annual
report, la Included In the story of
the visitors In this week's Issue of
the Patriot.
Excerpts from the selectmen's
report continue:
PRESIDENT KENNEDY AND
HYANNIS PORT
"Barnstable's most notable event
of 1960, and possibly of its entire
history, was the election of a' long-
time summer resident ot Hyannis
Port, John F. Kennedy, to the
President of the United States. This
brought great honor and -world-wide
publicity to the Town of Barnstable
and Hyannis Port. Presldenlt Ken-
nedy, giving 'his acceptance speech
at the Armory in Hyannis, con-
tinued undoubtedly the most sig-
nificant and dramatc event ever
to occur on Cape Cod. Nothing to
approach it is likely to happen
again . . . .
"Hyannis Port, as the selected
site of the summer White House,
has become internationally known.
Last summer, thousands of people
visited Hyannis Port to see the
home of the young presidential
; candidate, causing traffic conges-
tion and greatly disturbing the quiet
tranquility ot that little village. We
fear that last year's problems will
be significant when compared to
what will happen this summer when
the President and his family are
in the 'Port,' Chief Hinckley is
aware of the situation and is mak-
ing such plans and preparations as
are presently possible."
