Business will be omitted and a dinner and program will be held in Baldwin Hall in the eve- ning. Community Service John D. W. Bodflsh spoke at last week's meeting on "The Present Needs of the Town of Barnstable." During the all-day meeting 60 tow- els were made and marked for the Cape Cod Hospital. The 1949-60 program was dlscuBsed by Mrs. Arthur Congdon, Mrs. Fred B. LiveBley and Mrs. Leslie Sander- son, who are arranging lt. A white elephant sale was planned for March 11th and old and new photo- graphs of the village and Its inhab- itants will be shown. Mr. Bodflsh said In part; My study of the needs of the Town of Barnstable probably be- gan about the time I commenced to attend the High School in 1892. It was about that time that my fa- ther began taking me to Town Meeting with him regularly. He thought it was the best way for me to learn democratic government. Iiefore that I had been helping him carry wood, straw and hay to the other villages in town , and once a week we drove to Hyannis from our West Barnstable farm with fruit , vegetables, poultry, eggs and butter. We used oxen as well as horses for our heavy teaming. We came into Hyannis at the corner of Winter and Main Streets where Captain Albert Chase had a gro- cery store, now O'Nell's, and a set of platform scales where we weigh- ed our hay. It created quite a little stir when we came with oxen, guid- ing them by voice, so that the wag- on stood squarely on the platform for weighing. Lyman Baxter had another store at the West End, George Crocker at the East End, Hartshorn Hallett , Capt. Chase and Ferdinand H. Bas- sett had other stores In between. There was one hotel, The lyanough House, and Ossie Crowell had a restaurant. The high school I attended was at the foot of School Street. The Selectmen's Office was in West Barnstable and the Town Clerk and Treasurer had his office in his home. The Town Meetings were held in the old Town House In the woods, as near the geographical center of the town as it could be. There we voted and held our busi- ness meeting. Men got twenty-five cents an hour for working on the road, we boys used to get half that for dig- ging snow for the town. The Su- perintendent of Schools received from twelve to fifteen hundred dol- lars a year, the high school prin- cipal one thousand and the other teachers about forty dollars a month. The tax rate was around twelve dollars on the thousand. There were a few summer cottages along the south shove, a summer hotel in Craigville and three In Hy- annisport, The Bella Vista, The Hallett House and the Port View. To all of these I used to deliver milk every morning during the sum- mer, using a horse and democrat wagon. We had sand and gravel roads, and by urging I could get about six miles an hour out of the horse, I let him take ft easier go- ing home. The Normal School was com- pleted, so I entered it in 1897, grad- uating in 1899. Miss Ursula Paine was appointed principal of the West Barnstable school at the same time I went to Osterville, and each of Us received the magnificent salary of fifty dollars a month for a thirty- four week year. 1 did my own jani- tor work during the day.

GARDEN ROUND TABLE A study in Oriental flower ar- rangements was led by Mrs. Geo. O. Bartlett at the last round table of the Garden Club at the home of Miss Annie S. Crowell. With this, adaptation of materials at hand was discussed. The speaker said, "From now on we will have ses- sions in sparseness. I want you to get acquainted with things in the upper bracket." She recommended for study "The Arrangement of Flowers" by Mrs. "Walter R. Hlne, and "Flower Arrangement" by Rockwell and Grayson, The speak- er displayed several types of metal containers and members discussed flowers and growing things adapt- able and appropriate tor each one. The main idea was to make use of what one has at hand, both in con- tainers and material. Highlights among suggestions included small copper container for wall holding rhododendron leaves set in plater- cine; for a silver pitcher, roses, platycoden or baby's breath, point- ing out that silver calls for soft leaves, maidenhair fern—nothing stiff. Other suggestions were tor a large copper bowl, datura, or in summer use bayberry leaves as a cool and restful change from the many flowers; in a boat-shaped footed pewter dish UBe three pin- point holders and pussywillows with daffodils; for a silver mug, Shirley popples; for a pewter tea- pot, dogwood because the texture of pewter with the teiture of dog- wood 1B beautiful; a small brass basket, nasturtiums, pansies, cala- dium leaves or begonia leaves: Chinese brass dish on teakwood base, nasturtiums, bittersweet, daf- fodils, delphiniums or iris, but never combine anything with iris in Chi- nese or Japanese arrangements, Mrs. Raymond S. " Person con- tinued a talk on biological plant names and explanation of origins and parts. She defined "stamen" as the filament and anther; the "pistil" as the central part contain- ing the seed vessel. From those two words, she said, we have "stame- nate," having only stamens, and "pistilate," having only pistils. These words lead to the under- standing of the monoecious plant, which has one household on one tree or one plant; and to the dioe- cious plant, or two-household plant, which has the pistilate on one tree or plant and stamenate on the oth- er, as with holly.
