by Clara J. Hallett
This is your local station, 213 Ocean NoK.
It AVUS the last day of January, 1949. It had been BIW
and an inch or more covered the grounds. I looked out of K
north window and saw a sight that never before in the If'i
years 1 have looked out of those windows have I CVp v , nM
anything like it.
r se
'
Twenty-five or 30 medium-sized
gulls had taken possession of the
field next to my land. I call it the
Held because although there is a
new house there now, until a few
years ago It was always, Joshua
Baker's Held , where he pastured his
cows and raised big crops of hay.
Mr. George Dine Hart used to
mow it and a more graceful man
swinging a scythe could not be
found , so I ulways think of It as
the field; but for this day it be-
longed to the gulls. They were
having a regular ice carnival. First
they would bury as much of their
bodies as possible in the snow, then
fly up and flutter their wings rap-
idly and shake themselves thor-
oughly—taking n snow bath—with
"beautiful Ivory Snow."
After this, little groups would
curry on maneuvers in the air,
playing and fighting, swinging
around in circles, apparently hav-
ing great fun. It was like an air-
field full of small planeB carrying
out u regular program. There wus
an usb burner in the field but no
one hud been living in the house
for weeks. One gull sat on the
burner—Cuptaln of the Fleet, I
culled him for he stayed there most
of the time. A.ter the gulls had put
on their stunts in the utr , they
would ull line up on the snow", sit
perfectly still lor some minutes,
then ull slide on the snow as if
they were skating—then ull up in
the air, playing tag—then flying
i over the back land that used to be
a cranberry bog where In times
gone by they could get tiny fish
from the ditches . 1 never saw more
than two or three at a time flying
over the land although we see
many of them over the water.
One year, when the water in the
bay was frozen for a long time,
they would come into my yard for
food. If I put out bread they would
take a whole slice at a time arid
away with it.
Finally, after going on this way
for 30 or 40 minutes, without any
signal I could see, the Captain flew
up from the ash burner , hovered
over the fleet , and they arose as
one body and all flew away together
over the bay. It had begun to rain
and the game evidently wr.a called
off.
1 did wish I had a moving picture
camera to preserve this unusual
scene.
Birds seem to understand each
other. We humuns often fall to do
that.
One day it's snow and ice, then
its bare ground and there's a touch
of spring in the air. We have no
idea what's coming next.
Itobins have been seen. I haven 't
seen a meadow lark yet. One year
In February a flock of 25 or 30
came to feed in my back yard—
maybe more. I could not find my
records. Two red poll linnets were
seen in my shrubbery Feb. 28, 1924.
But generally we have plenty of
snow in February. We had quite a
different January this year than
we are accustomed to. I find that
Jan. 14, 1899, we had no trains for
four days, no papers, not even the
Patriot, until Thursday—at that
time it used to come out here on
Monday. It was snow, snow every-
where and trains were late every
day.
It's hard to keep pace with all
that is going on all over the world
or even in our own home town. We
have a little of everything here.
The cartoons in all the papers are
certainly clever and often amusing.
It's a good thing the American peo-
ple have a sense of humor and can
see some truth In them, whether
they are about political parties or
ubout ourselves.
Town Meeting and that it means
to the people la now a subject ot
tulk and many all-year-round peo-
ple wonder what they will have to
prepare for after it is over. Big

The Road Story
The Commonwealth Committee , with headquarters at 8C
Federal Street , Boston, has been organized to promote, on a nou
partisan basis, adoption by the Massachusetts Legislature of J
modern, integrated highway system for the entire state. It i>
eomposedof over 1200 representatives of organizations whose
combined local interests span the state. These organizations
cover civic, business, labor , and miscellaneous activities ;
women 's groups are also included.
Mr. Nathan Tufts of Greenfield , a prominent business man
and civic leader, is the elected general chairman. Regional co-
chairmen have been appointed throughout the state. Cape Cod
is listed in the Southeastern Region, for which two organiza-
tions are appointed to serve : the Cupe Cod Chamber of Com-
merce, represented by Frederick V. Lawrence of Falmouth ;
C. Russell Harris of East Sandwich ; Allan F. Jones of Barn-
stable ; Joseph Rosenthal of Provincetown ; and Joseph Sorenti
of Sagamore ; and the Cape Cod Board of Realtors, represented
by Benjamin F .Teel and John J. Pendergast of Centerville.
Massachusetts needs an over-all highway plan. If our
hi ghways are ¦inadequate , that inadequacy affects not onl y
our state, but all New England as well, for the regional hi gh-
ways of today transcend state boundaries aud even form links
in through-highway chains which span the nation. In the ex-
press highways extending between New York and Maine, Massa-
chusetts is now the missing link. Extending across New York
and Connecticut to the southern boundary of Massachusetts are
the Hutchinson, Merritt , and Wilbur Cross Parkways ; there
is the Maine Pike which will soon be connected with the north-
ern line of Massachusetts by an express highway which New
Hampshire is constructing. Massachusetts must form the con-
necting link.
Fur the period 194!)-l!)o'2 a 200-million dollar highway con-
struction program has been set up by the governor in his
plans, as it was by last year 's governor. Iu this plan is pro-
vision for the study of a proposed toll road between the Con-
necticut and New Hampshire lines, with inter-connections to
metropolitan areas.
The Massachusetts Petroleum Industries Committee, with
headquarters at 1
1 Beacon Street , Boston , has made up a High-
way Financial Analysis for the state. This shows over $230,000,-
000 to be available for all road purposes during the four fiscal
years 1949 to 1952, mid of this, $120,768,000 available for new
state highway construction. The figure $152,780,000 will be avail-
able for state highway construction and maintenance ; and
$34,880,000 additional allocated to local units for construction
and maintenance of loeal roads.
The money to finance this program, this Committee says.
is alread y on hand or in sight from present taxes and other
existing revenue sources. Large accumulated balances of high-
way funds, and liberal allocations of federal aid, coupled with
the fact that revenues are coming into the state treasury at a
faster rate than ever before , make the highway financial picture
very favorable.
It breaks down the $230,000,000 thus : Highway user rev-
enues, $141,700,000, Highway balances, $29,688,229, Federal
Aid , 158,922,000, grand total available , $230,310,229.
Highway user revenues are running well above prewai
levels. Due to increasing registration and increased use of motor
fuel , each cent of the tax on gasoline is now producing over
$000,000 annually more than in the best prewar year of 1941.
And the recent adoption of a constitutional amendment guar-
antees that henceforth all highway funds will be devoted ex-
clusively to road purposes.
In addition to revenues from highway user taxes, the state
highway fund had on June 30, 1948 a balance of $29,688,230.
With regard to federal aid , the figure is derived from an
unspent balance from the 1944 Act and the grant due from
the 1948 Highway Act. Money from the federal government
must be matched by the Stute dollar for dollar.
According to the Petroleum Industries Committee, in spite
of the lack of progress in a postwar highway program, so far
us our internal highway system is concerned , our standards
are higher than those in neighboring states and in the country
as a whole. Nearly 93% of the state highway system has been
payed with a high type surfacing, as contrasted with 32% for
the New England area and with only 29% for the United States
as a 'Whole. Massachusttts ' hi ghway system also compares fav-
orabl y with the hi ghways in other states from the standpoint
of width. More than 77% of the mileage on the state system
in Massachusetts is more than 20 feet wide, as compared with
t he national average of less than 47% and the average of only
37% for the New England states. This is due to large volume
of hi ghway user tax receipts against the small mileage in
state roads,
Before the state legislature now is the Staves bill provid-
ing for ti bond issue of $100,000,000 to launch the highway road
project. The hearing came last Thursday before the Committee
on Highwaysand Motor Vehicles, of which our Hop, Allan Jones
is a member. Several proponents attended the hearing from
this part of the Cape. The bill has not yet been reported out
of committee.
In the allocation of funds outlined in this bill , $53,000,000
is for highway construction outside Metropolitan Boston by
the State Department of Public Works ; $2,0,00,000 for highway
safety devices throughout the State ; the balance for use iu
constructing highways and parkways in Metropolitan Boston
Cape Cod has a vital interest in this legislation. Several
of the projected works will directly benefit Cape Cod. New
construction in Wareham and Buzzards Bay and two bridge
widenings in Middleboro will facilitate travel to and from the
Cape ; a piece of new highway in Wellfleet , and above all the
new Mid-Cape Highway the length of tho Cape are much-to-be-
desired improvements, Rep. Jones reports that the State De-
partment of Public Works has announced its intention of start-
ing actual construction of the segment of tho mid-Cape road
already accepted in plan.
Under the pro visions of Chapter 90 of the General Laws
allotments are made from the highway user revenues to th<
counties of the State , these State sums augmented by Countj
funds' and money appropriated by the towns themselves foi
road work.
The Barnstable Town Warrant contains several articles call
iug for appropriations for road work.

Dear Theodosia:
It seems there Is never an end to
new experiences. Here I've been a
New Englander all my life and yet
1 never attended a sugaring-off
party until this winter. Of course,
it's a Vermont custom and I'm not
a Vermonter. But this winter I
sugnred-off right here on Cape Cod.
I believe it's not done in Vermont
until March, but here it's done
whenever there is snow. We have
so little , and might have none, if
we waited until March.
Each one of us had a big bowl
full of fresh snow and a dish of
maple syrup which had been boiled
on the stove to the sugaring point.
With a spoon we dropped syrup on
the top of our snow. The latter
cooled it instantly and we then
picked up, with a fork , the daubs
of syrup turned sugary from the
action of the snow. It taBted good.
When the sweetness began to cloy,
we ate a picle.a dish of them was
on the table.And so we ate and ate,
inserting a plcle now and then be-
tween mouthfuls of sweet, IUBCIOUS
sugary syrup.
I am sure I shall hope from now
on to sugar-off every winter , even
on Cape Cod. It is certainly a de-
lightful custom.
