Descended from an old-line Oapo Cod family and a familiar
figure in Hynnnis for many years, Frederick L. Jones, known
as Fred Jonos 1o all and sundry, going on 82 years of age, still
plies Ins trade of fin and sheet iron smith at the rear room
In Bradford 's Hardware Store. Moat'
of UH at one time or another have
had to net a new stove pipe or
luivo one reli t ted and , II' wo no Into
Bradford's to not it , wo are luoky
tf wo stoi> through to Hio rear
whore the work In dono, for It la-
variably loads to a chat with Frotl
Jones, III H keen blue eyes haVO U
merry twinkle in them and look us
if they found life nlouuant and iu-
toresttng, They are remarkable
eyoB, too, for thoy can road lino
print today without the aid of
Kinases.
Mr. JOIIOH was born in Murslons
Mills, ills grandfather, Jododluh
JoneM , bad hone there from West
Harnstahlo. The bonio of IIIB ma-
ternal grandparontH wag the vil-
lage of IlariiHtublo , where bis
grandfather was Elijah Lorlng.
Until bo WU8 IX , young Fred lived
In Aland OHM MUI H. Uo recalls lug-
ging wood over to the Patriot
Office, t hen located in the village
of liuriiHtuhl '), In payment of a sub-
scription, it HeotiiH his father wus a
regular subscriber both for himself
and for bin brother out in Cali-
fornia. A four-foot, cord of wood
paid for two annual subscriptions,
and every your thin amount was
totod over from Murstouu Mills.
V, It. OOSH published the Patriot at
that time. Another I'atrlot reminis-
cence—Mr. Jonos says his grand-
lather Loring got to the point
where ho oould nut " v>rd nn,y long-
er to carry on bis subscription, so
not Hied the offlco to stop the
paper. The Patriot did not stop,
however , but kept right on coming
as an Integral part of IIIB house-
hold routine. Mr. JonoR says ho
know Hoverul putroiiB in Uurnstable
Villugu who bad experiences just
like that one,
At. 18 the young man loft Mars-
toiiB Mills and wont to Hyannis to
live. The occasion wus a job in a
barnoHH shop. Aftor two and a half
years ho married and want back
to Murslons Mills , whore bo stayed
Huvorul yearn , then wont to Barn-
stable. For a while ho worked In
the West Burnstablo Brick Yards.
Ono Saturday night two employees
left Bradford's Hardware Store In
the lurch and Monday morning
found our friend , Frod Jonos, work-
ing there. That proved to bo the
first day of a fin-year span and , be-
fore Mr. Jones finishes IIIB job, It
bids fair to bo considerably longer
than that.

The Legislative Bill for setting up again the Old Colony
Transportation Commission is now in committee and the hope
is for a favorable report out of committee preparatory for its
journey through both houses.
The recent announcement of service reduction is a dis-
appointment, and yet we must, not be discouraged or sit back.
Fundamental
ly, the issue is not yet resolved. No real plan has
ns yet been adopted on a permanent basis. It is very important,
tiierefore, that the Commission be reestablished. Incidentally,
no opposition to this was voiced at the recent public hearing.
In the curtailment scheduled for March 1st, the noon week-
day train is lost, also the Sunday morning train , which means
that there is no rail method of going to Boston and way stations
for the day on Sunday. This seems unfortunate. And , while our
truins are being dropped, the Boston to New York run is being
speeded up, so that it will take less time to make this trip.
The Valentine Special was well patronized , and we are told
there is to be n special round-tri p train up March 16 for a
hockey game. We will add that it is always a full or nearly-full
train, according to our observation , when we take the trip
ourselves.
An explanation might be helpful regarding the bus that
dime down late at night , as to why it could not continue. It
luiil been operating on a temporary license for that particular
run. A different sorf of franchise, on u basis of broader terri-
tory would be involved in a permanent, license and this, for
the
*
time being, has been withiuld by the State Department of
Public'Utilities. This does not mean, however , that the permit
will not be issued later. AVe have expectations that it will be",
but those closest to the problem feel it is best to hold in abey-
ance disposition of the bus matter until the train business is
settled. After March 1st , the late afternoon train up changes
to an earlier hour so that it will reach Boston in time for an
opening. If the bus is reinstated , the two together will make a
suitable round-trip for those Cape Codders who wish to go to
Huston for an evening. The return tri p by train would be bet-
ter, but the bus was making a satisfactory stepping stone in
the progress of transportation facilities.
Our disposition should be to support the rail management
in its efforts to supply proper service, exercising patience when
ire do not receive all we want at once. There is one point we
have mentioned before , which we wish here to re-mphasiac. We
have been repeatedly told to patronize such trains as we have ,
if we expect more to be added. Is this sound advice '/ The trains
ure well patronized now by passengers, but there are many
more who would use 'them in preference to private automobiles
\? the trains coincided with appointments. The present, schedule
is ideal for a business day in Boston! the present Sunday
schedule is ideal for a Sunday in Boston. There are other times,
however, when the trains just don 't fit.
EDI TORIAL
After one and one-half hours of
discussion , Chatham voters at yes-
terday 's town meeting voted 319
to 14 to raise and appropriate the
sum of $500,000 to build an addi-
tion to the ChaJlam School to In-
clude 10 elementary classrooms and
an auditorium-gymnasium.
Disregarding a finance board rec-
ommendation, 123 voted In favor
and (ill against the purchase and
development of the Chatham Air-
port at a cost to the town of $43, -
750, with state and federal govern-
ment furnishing over $120,000. Be-
fore voting, there was a quest ion
as to whether a two-thirds vote was
necessary. Due to the resulting
vote, a ruling will be requested of
the attorney general.
"Progressive Action" sewed as

Lent
Lent 1B the season of forty days
preceding Kaster . not counting Sun-
days. The word Lent" is from the
Anglo-Saxon Lencten, meuninn
spring. It is a period of fasting anil
of penitence observed In the
church from very early times. By
using these days for deepening the
devotional life the faithful Chris-
tian 1B better prepared to enter
Into the sufferings of Christ which
are particularly recalled dining
Holy Week, and also Into the joy-
ous triumph of Kaster.
Easter
For many centuries Lent has
been a period used by the church
for the preparation of those de-
siring baptism or confirmation ut
the Kaster season. The pastor of
the church of one 's choice will he
delighted to receive and tulk with
anyone who 1B interested In closer
affiliation with the church.
These two stanzas from George
Herbert's poem, Lent" Indicate the
mood, usage, and hope of those who
observe Lent.
'TIB true, we cannot roach Christ's
fortieth day ;
Yet to go part of that religious way
Is better than to rest.
We cannot reach our Saviour 's
purity ;
Yet we aio bid , Be holy e'en us ho."
In both lei' s do our best.
Who goeth in the way which Christ
hath gone,
Is much more sure to meet with
him , than one
That travelleth by-ways.
Perhaps my God, though he ho far
before,
May turn, and take me by the hand ,
and more,
May strengthen my decays.
