New York City
March 3, 1949
Dear Theodosia:
This letter I'm writing aa a city
relation to my city relations, for 1
have ventured forth from my shel-
tering Cape Cod into the big, wide
world. 1 am In New York City !
I came over on the train , lauded
In the Grand Central Station, tax-
ied up to the Wellington Hotel ,
where I have a very nice, comfort-
able room.
There is no use in my describing
New York City to you, for you are
as familiar with it as 1. But I do
wish to tell you of a very interest-
ing little incident at the breakfast
table one morning in the hotel din-
ing room.
A lady sitting at the next table
leaned over and asked me it' I could
explain something on the table
d'hote menu to her. She didn 't un-
derstand the combinations and
what went with what. She said this
was her first trip to America. 1
knew at her first word that she was
from the British Isles on uccount
of her accent.
1 did my best to supply the In-
formation and then our conversa-
tion continued . She was from Ire-
Ittnd, just outside Dublin. I guess
it seemed good to her to see plenty
of food. She said that there Is
enough ot most food over there,
but they are rationed on some
tilings. Each person is limited to
two ounces of tea, lour ounces of
butter, and half a pound ot BUgar
per week. And soap, she was
amazed at the quantity of soap
here. There is very little soap
there and some families she knows
can't wash their children's clothes.
She was on a month's holiday
and on her way to Bermuda. She
wanted to buy a beach coat. Be-
cause the Minister of Finance lim-
ited the amount of money a trav-
eler could take out of the country ,
she hadn't been able to bring
enough to include purchase of a
beach coat, unless she could buy
one at a low price.
Then my friend took some change
out of her purse and held up a ten-
cent piece for my observation. "Is
tliis a dime?" she asked. Then a
half dollar. "I never BBW anything
like this before," she said , "what is
it?" Then she held up a penny. "Is
this a nickel?" was her question
and, when I told her lt was a pen-
ny, she asked me if a nickel and a
penny were the same thing. I ex-
plained all our coins to her and I
hope, when she cunie to spend her
money, she will remember all the
distinctions.
She was a very charming lady,
1 finished my breakfast first and
left the table, wishing her a pleas-
ant journey.
Such chance acquaintanceships
do add to the interest of daily
events.
Your loving
Aunt Jane.

Rail Stoppage May Prove Adjustment Period
Additional bus service was started March first by the New-
England Transportation Company to till in some of the gaps
caused when the railroad service was curtailed on the same
date. Buses will run between Boston and Middleboro, connect-
ing at the latter for Cape Cod points. A Sunday and holiday
bus will leave Park Square for the Capo at 7 :00 P.M.
This may be regardcil as an adjustment period looking
toward possibly real improvement in future rail transportation
facilities.
Conferences are being planned witli the railroad manage-
ment by prominent Cape Cod interests with a view to restored
and even better train service than in the past , and this stop-
page of certain parts of the service may yet prove beneficial
in bringing to a head the entire situation.
EDITO RIALS —
Inquiries from all parts of the
world, seeking information about
Cape Cod's recreational facilities,
its activities , history and year
round living possibilities , have
reached an all time high of more
than 1200 since Jan. 1, it was re-
ported today by Miss Doris I. Bns-
sett, Chamber of Commerce office
manager.
This figure , including several
hundred inquiries from prospective
salt water sports fishermen , is an
increase o£ 1000 per cent for the
same period over the tally of five
years ago. In 1944 there were 117
inquiries received by this date. Last
year the number was 713.
Requests for Cape literature and
information have been received
this year from points as far away
as Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro ,
Sweden , West Africa , England , ire-
land, Australia , New Zealand and ]
Peru, Miss Bassett reported.
i
Inquiries Come to
Cape Near and Far
Salt water sports fishermen
along the entire Atlantic Seaboard ,
from Florida to Northern New Eng-
land , are planning to participate
this coming summer in Cape Cod's
First Annual Tuna Tournament and
the several striped bass derbies
for which invitations soon will be
in the mails.
According to Floyd A. Van Duzer
of Cummaquld, chairman of the
tuna contest which is being spon-
sored by the Cape Cod Chamber
of Commerce, hundreds of inqui-
ries about salt water sports fishing
oa the Cape have been received as
a result of the Chamber's special
exhibits at the recent Boston
sportsman's show and the show
now in progress in New York.
Cape Cod, through its Chamber
of Commerce, was personally rep-
resented at the Boston show by
Van Duzer. Never before has the
Cape been so represented. Among
those who already have expressed
Intentions of coming here this sum-
mer are several internationally
known game fishermen.
The Cape's exhibits which also
will appear at the Philadelphia and
Baltimore shows are comprised of
action photographs of last summer's
tuna and bass Ashing, the gear and
tackle for these sports and an in-
formation booth from which the
public obtained thousands of pieces
of Cape Cod literature provided by
the Chamber ot Commerce and
srortsmen's groups.
So keen is the interest of pleas-
ure boat owners in salt water fish-
ing here Van Duzer has reported
to the Chamber directors that, even
at this early date, he can predict
that all of Cape Cod's anchorage
and docking facilities will be em-
ployed to the limit this summer.
This report has spurred the Cham-
ber's legislative committee to urge
state and federal solons to seek
funds for future expansion of local
harbor facilities, a move that also
finds the 'vigorous support of hun-
dreds of yachtsmen.
Pointing out that Cape Cod at
last Is awake to the fact that the
old "Horse Mackerel ," bluefln tuna ,
is a terrific game fish , the Tuna
Tournament committee has come
up with these figures turned In at
the end of last year's fishing by a
few pioneers of the sport:
"A total of 187,000 pounds ot
tuna were taken in Cape Cod wa-
ters by anglers using rod and reel.
More than 300,000 pounds were
hauled in by handline and harpoon ,
and more than 5,000,000 pounds
were caught in commercial fishing
traps."
The blueflns ure at home in
Cape Cod Bay from June until
November, according to veteran
sports and commercial fishermen.
With Governor Paul A. Dover as
honorary chairman, members of the
Tuna Tournament committee, be-
sides Van Duzer, are Norman II.
Cook, executive secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce, who is sec-
retary-treasurer of the tuna group;
Capt. John R. Peterson of Fal-
mouth ; Capt. John E, Veterino ,
Barnstable; H. Hey worth Buckus ,
Centerville ; Balfour Bassett, Saud-
wlch; Max Finkle, Provincetown;
Clifford R. Davis, Boston hunting
and ilshlng editor ; "Ollie" II. P.
Rodman of Outdoors Magazine , and
Henry Lyman, editor of Salt Water
Sportsman.
Preparing for Summer
Tuna Tournament
Vacationers planning a visit to
Cape Cod this summer needn't wor-
ry about Rocky Mountain Spotted
Fever, according to Dr. Joseph C.
Bequaert , noted scientist of Har-
vard University.
As one of the nation 's authorities
on ectoparasites—a tancy name for
lice, fleas, and ticks—Dr. Bequaert
says "there have been only about
IS cases of Rocky Mountain Spotted
Fever on the Cape in 20 years."
Dr. Bequaert brought his findings
to the Ninth Annual Eastern Pest
Control Operators conference re-
cently at the University of Massa-
chusetts. One entire day 's program
was devoted entirel y to the study of
ectoparasites in view of a delegate's
discovery of Rickettsialpox—a dis-
ease spread by mites.
Charles Pomerantz , pest control
operator from New York, discov-
ered the carrier of this disease and
his dramatic story was saluted last
year on "Cavalcade of America,"
, The Harvard scientist named two
additional diseases spread by ticks
—tick paralysis and tularemia. He
declared that tick paralysis is not
important In the Northeast area,
while tularemia is frequently con-
tacted by hunters dressing wild
rabbits.
Man 's best friend , the dog, was
described as the moat common
source of fleas. "The requirements
for fleas are one dog or cat and
plenty of rugs," Dr. Bequaert de-
clared. "Rugs were made fur peo-
ple who wunt to breed fleas."
"At the present time no disease
is transmitted by cat or dog fl eas,"
he asserted.
The most complaints from flea
bites come after the summer vaca-
tion , says Dr. Bequaert. While the
famil y and dog are away, fleas hi-
bernate under rugs. It takes only a
shaking motion to waken the fleas
and the scratching begins. Few peo-
ple complain about fleas in winter,
he says, as fleas ure then hatching
on dogs and cats.
Wood Ticks No Men-
ace Next Summer
Because of town meeting next
Tuesday, the Hyannis Board of
Trade met a week earlier, last Tues-
day night, March 1st, for their reg-
ular monthly meeting and dinner ,
ut the Hyannis Inn.
The speaker was Francis W. Sar-
gent of Orleans , director of the
Marine Fisheries Division of the
Conservation Department. Mr. Sar-
gent said that , because of present
conditions in the llBhing Industry,
Mils is not the time to develop
commercial fishing in Hyannis.
But the prospects are excellent for
developing sport fishing from Hy-
annis Harbor.
Fred H. Baldwin presented Cape
Cod Anglers trophies to two Hy-
annis youngsters, brothers who
caught the largest fish for their
age groups. Brian and Arthur
"Mickey " Cook, and a book on fish-
ing and waterproof jacket, to Bert
Frlmodig of the Centerville Road,
winner in last year 's tourney. He
said college youths are showing
interest in special college competi-
tion planned for this year.
President Roland T. Plhi pre-
sided at the meeting, attended by
about 30 members. One new mem-
ber, Sigurd H, Olsen , manager for
White Brothers Milk "Company, was
admitted.

A perusal of the report 1B urged

Town Meeting
The annual meeting for all the
town's voters is to be held Tues-
day, March 8, at 9 o'clock A.M. in
the Hyannis Theatre. What the
voters decide regarding appropria-
tions will determine the tax rate.
An interesting experiement was
made in Harwich this year, accord-
ing to a letter in a Boston paper,
written by a Harwich voter. We
quote :
. , . "Last year participants in
town meeting went on what might
be called a spending spree. Gener-
osity was the keynote, and just
about every department asked for
and bot a raise in appropriation.
When the meeting wa sover, there
was somewhat of a rude awaken-
ing whe nthe tax rate was figured
and announced. It was the highest
in the town's history. Many In-
creases were necessary but some
could have waited and the realiza-
tion of what it all amounted to,
came too late.
This year someone on the finance
I committee had the bright Idea of
placing a large blackboard at the
front of the hall. The tax necessary I
to cover each amount In the budget 1
had been figured In advance—so
much per $1000, so much per $100,
voted—and , as each article in the
warrant, concerning funds, was
brought up, the increase in the
the neffective tax rate, was added,
in plain view of the voters. When
the meeting was over the tax rate
(as close as it could be figured)
was right in the front ot the voters.
, There is not the slightest doubt
but that the figure , as it went up
and up, acted as a curb, upon town
spending. This year taxes will ad-
vance, but everyone who attended
town meeting had a clear chance
to see why and for what. Even ;
some of the recommendations of
the finance committee were voted
down.
Perhaps some other towns, who
have not already had their annual
meetings, might like to try this.

Town Business Days
CAPE COD AIRPORT
Winds and rain all week cer-
tainly curtailed flying during the
week. With only three days of fly-
ing possible, there was still a rea-
sonable amount or activity. Sunday
could rightfully have been called
the first day of spring except for
the calendar. Old Man Winter has
made his last bid, we hope, for the
title of being fierce , when winds up
to 65 miles per hour lashed tho
field with snow to help out. Elec-
tricity and telephone service were
restored very quickly, and there
was no damage caused by the
storm. The Piper Cub was put on
skis first thing and students are
checking out on them for a change
from, the ordinary. Woody Pond of
Ostervllle was the first one to check
out on skis. He is in hopes of get-
ting a few hours more in before the
sun melts all the snow,
Flying Service Owner John C.
Van Arsdale has been confined to
bed with illness for nearly two
weeks. He Is trying to run his busi-
ness from bed with the aid of a
telephone und with the help of
personnel from this field, He is in
hopes of getting up spon to catch
up on paperwork,,
Dr. Joel Gould of Pocasset logged
I an hour during the week to keep
his hand In. Unfortunately, doctors
don't have too much time to fly,
but when the days are longer he
will have the opportunity to catch
up on his hours.
Flight Instructor Raymond G.
Pendergast will attend a Governor's
Luncheon in Boston on Thursday to
receive the Good Airport Operating
Practice certificate awarded the
Cape Cod Airport for the year 1948.
This certificate Is awarded by the
National Aeronautics Association.
Crocker Snow, Massachusetts Aero-
nautics Commission director, will
also attend the luncheon.
HYANNIS AIRPORT

Visitors this week-end made the
airport look like the summer sea-
son was on with J. J. White of
Oyster Harbors and New York ar-
riving in his twin-engine Lockheed
12 with Art Stewart his pilot. Mr.
and Mrs. Bill Sinclair arrived in
their Beechcraft Bonanza, brand
new, from Elmira, New York, to
check on their summer home in
Cotuit.

B twin-engine freighter was flown
down from Sanford, Maine, by Par-
menter and Anthony. The B-18 will
have a complete going over by the
maintenance crew before she Is put
Into service to the Islands.
Al Sherman was pinch hitting as
pilot for the Cape Air Service when
he flew the Cessna 120 at low alti-
tude along the high tension elec-
tric line from Hyannis to the Trera-
ont sub-station and return looking
for a break In the line which cut
all power to the Cape Wednesday.
The Airport Bowling Team for-
feited four points to the First Na-
tional team because only three men
showed for the game.
Station Manager Hartley Hutch-
ins of Northeast Airlines reports
a 50 per cent increase in traffic in
February over January which he
said was probably due to the better
flying weather.
The number ot aircraft jobs rose
steadily during 1948 and the up.
ward trend will continue this year
according to the Bureau of Labor
Statistics. Wages and hours worked
also climbed, hut the wage rise may
be slowed, though not stopped com-
pletely this year.

UP IN THE AIR
One of the most extraordinary
documents to reach the Gazette in
many a day—because of the per-
sonalities involved, the rate of
medical reward tadicateU thereby,
and tiie mere fact of its having
been preserved to tills day, was |
loaned to the Gazette on Tuesday.
It read as follows.'
Capt. Theodore Whlmpeny (sic)
to Pierce und Shlverlck Dr., 1849,
Dec. 18, To Obstetrics, Mrs, W.,
$4,00.
The bill , duly receipted , is one
evidence of the entry into this
troubled world ot Theodore S. Wim-
penney, the Island's oldest resident.
It also affirms the belief In the
good old days in that the services
of two prominent doctors, for deliv-
ering a baby, came to $4.
The physicians concerned were
Dr. Clement F. Shlverlck , grand-
father of the latue Dr. C. C. Nevln
and great-grandfather of Dr. Rob-
ert W. Nevin and builders of the
great house where his descend-
ant carries on his practice, and Dr.
John Pierce, for whom Pierce ave-
nue, Edgartown , was named, and
whose home WUB the large square
white houeo at the top of the hill
now owned by the Runyons. Inci-
dentally, Mr. Wlmpenney lias had

This is your local station, 213 Ocean N6K. I
England is embarking on a Wig campaign; spending . J I
hon or more to put wigs on all the baldheaded men andVn I
in the Empire who are bemoaning their lost locks, and akn I
paring to keep them clean and in order. ,t(
I
Wigs have been worn In England
from the crowned heads down to
barristers and men in service—for
centuries—even queens with pretty
bair have hidden it under a curly
wig, as .we see in some of Gains-
borough's pictures.
Milady In her big hat with its
waving plumes would look more
top heavy than she does now, with-
out the wig to fill out around her
face, under the bat.
George Washington arid some of
our own people wore wigs but to-
day we connect them more often
with actors on the stage. It seems
a strange time for England to start
to bewig all of these people when
she pretends to be near bankruptcy
and Is borrowing from us to build
up her economic life again.
Are we buying wigs tor bald-
headed Englishmen? I think we
should resent this. There may be
some people in America who could
uBe something besides their bats
to cover their heads.
If England is turning to socialism
and planning for free medical care
—teeth, glasses of all sorts, llttlng
the nation out from the top of
their heads, to shoes and mittens,
no amount of money will ever be
enough—and we had better save
something to clothe our own peo-
ple or America will look more than
ever like a nudist camp.
I suppose they will soon get
fussy about the wigs—if they did
not like the color of their own
hair, why order a wig of any color
they prefer.
Imagine the Honorable Winston
Churchill In a red wig—he has pep
enough without a red wig. England
had better quit all this foolishness
of bewigglng a whole regiment of
bald-headed fellows if she wants
our help, or we may wake up to the
fact that she is spending our money
for whatever she wants, regardless
of its real purpose. I hope we won't
be tempted to follow that plan-
why we would know our own fa-
thers togged out in all that head-
gear If they should appear unex-
pectedly.
Old ladles with thin hair used to
wear a little lace cap and old gen-
tlemen sometimes wore a black silk
skull cap but we seldom see an old
lady in a cap these days, or don't
we have old ladles anymore?
Why would anyone want to Bee a
play or movie like "The Snake Pit"?
. . . an emotional tragedy. I read
the book to see what was being
done about this Pit, but it would
put scars on the soul itself lt pos-
sible, to read books, of that kind.
What must lt do to actors who
put themselves into the spirit of
the act trying to imagine how those
people felt and their reactions to
conditions that prevailed In that
so-called "Snake Pit." The result
must be an unhealthy state of mind,
night and day, all through rehear-
sals; every thought put into lt was
dangerous to sane, normal living.
I fall to see what benefit could
be gained by watching the struggles
and agony and despair of those vic-
tims. If doctors want lt for study
to seek a solution and cure for
such human misery—make it a pri-
vate exhibit for medical research
only. It is a horrible story. If we
go to a place of amusement and
have to shut our eyes to escape see-
ing what Is on the stage, we might
well say, "What fools we mortals
be." We, would soon feel that our
world has nothing in it but drugs,
liquor, dope, evil, misery and sin.
There is a brighter side so when
we ourselves are not In a position
to help, let's try to live in a purer
atmosphere whenever we can.
An amusing little thing happened
a few days ago. The letter carrier
brought a letter addressed to
"Clara Jane"—Hyannis, Massachu-
setts. Once I received a letter—ad-
dressed to Miss Hallett, but it did
have Ocean Street on lt, so that
was a bit more enlightening. Some-
how I can't soe Eliza Jane or Bs
Jane or Mary Jane or Sarah i
getting a letter of that ki n,| 2
out quite a delay. I had a !
:
laugh anyway. Miss Crenimer
friend of mine, said: "When i
''
away uext time I will send vo„*!
letter marked "Clara Jane-cL
Cod." "Don't put anything of ,?
portance in it," I sold, "t0f ',"
never get it, or only after u H
been relayed to every postoffiot. o
the Cape until It reaches ££
stable, and I hardly tblnk postma*
ters would bother; more likely a,.
Dead Letter Office would be
resting place." "*
They say now- if you want to
.
happy ,"Be a Democrat." I 0ften
find a way to keep cheerful with
out resorting to that draBtic change
Headlines in the Barnstable P«
triot last week—"God Hath Made
of One Blood All Nations of Men "
Well the President doesn't think
so—he bars out Republicans i |(B

pllshed fact and he has u\\ uie au-
thorlty any President ever had oi

Just because everybody in the
U.S.A. did not vote for him lie
seems to And it hard to under-
stand that some people have no

they see fit. Of course we cannot
always vote for the people of our

the job and try for It. We may speak
