Mrs. Charles Robbins was very well and enjoying her winter and looks forward to returning home in April. They were accom- panied in St. Petersburg by Mrs. George Burlingame , recently o£ Os- terville , who has many friends In this vicinity. Mr. Burlingame, who drove the school bus for many years, passed away last winter In Florida, while in St. Petersburg, Mr. and Mrs. Robbins called on an- other former Centerville resident , Mrs. George Backus. They found her very well and enjoying the pleasant house and grounds , which she purcliused for a home some time since. (In a personal letter from Mrs. Backus) : "We have had a delight- ful winter as to weather. There is an immense crowd here und St. Petersburg cannot take care of so many. Everything is full. Little George grows and grows. He Is five years old. I was surprised one af- ternoon when I found Willis Rob- bins, his wife and mother, and Mrs . George Burlingame at the door.

About 40 friends were in during the day and many cards, gifts and refreshments of ice cream and cake were enjoyed.

But In truth , spring should only be written about by n iwet. Memory Four ducks on a pond , A grass-bank beyond , A blue sky of spring, What a little thing To remember for years— To remember with tears." MARCH I am glad 1 live so near to the woods, fields and swamp. Along about this time ot the season ..e ask our neighbors in the morning— "Did you hear it—in the night— the fox barking in our lower orchard?" It is such a wild and uncivilized sound on the night air: it Is good to hear this call , surrounded as we are by all the comforts and dis- comforts of our modern world. We are roused in the night by it; dear dog rushes to doors und windows, anxious to pursue this untamed instincts. But we contain ourselves and him. Again something deep stirs within us, some ancient un- derstanding bark of our own, per- haps, which this little creature of the night , has roused from slum- ber, and we wonder, as we lie there, whether It is fox call or our own voice thut has echoed down the dawning. This Is the season, too, when our purple finch does his spring prac- ticing on the top-most bough of the sweet apple tree. I hear a very soft echo of a warble, sotto voice, indeed, and I look up to find this sweetest of singers rehearsing his phrases for his inter full perform- ance, lt Is a rare moment—being present at the tender beginnings of a great song which will soon wake the whole orchard with its warm und radiant beauty. The nickers quicken the land; every thicket is vocal with song sparrow 's liquid song. Ills is the Hi st voice I hear these early morn- ings, as I lie on my too sleepy pil- low. Even now we ure waiting for the first elfin music of the hylas— "horns of elfland faintly blowing." We resume our beach walks after too lo^ an absence und surprise a returned piping plover (our fav- orite bird of the beaches) ahead of us, just above the tide. Soon we see him in the beach hills, from which he rises with his sweet wild "peep-lo", and Is lost to our sight. Our wintering loons are still on riv- er and bay, their easy grace in the water so much u part of our winter and spring that we almost forget to notice them. Before spring is too far advanced , they will de- part for their lonely spruce wilder- nesses in the far north , leaving the river to become the restless haunt of returning gulls and terns. How the resident gulls greet the return- ed ones who have been ftrther south. What conversations *ake place on river side and marsh. What a springtime sight it is to see a great company of them as the tide comes in on the wide marshes, whlto as a snowstorm, BB they watch for the early herrings run- ning up the river. I said I woudn 't write about spring. Hers is a secret Bong in every heart. Her miracle takes place a million times; "still lt is as if it had never p happened before." So I will leave her to the poets— and you. If she isn't exactly as you have anticipated her, she will be Infinitely lovelier. BARNSTABLE HIGH SCHOOL Barnstable vs. Oliver Ames Roy W. Nightingale Last Thursday night In Brockton Oliver Ames of North Easton wal- loped Barnstable High to the tune of 50-26. i Oliver Ames jumped to an eavly lead and were never bothered by Barnstable. The boys from Oliver Ames were fast, shifty, dead shots and most of all they were aggressive. They con- trolled the backboards , and showed a very well organized team, Oliver Ames' center was high man for the night with 15 points while "Big Ed" dropped in nine for the losers. "Son " Perry and Walt Perry played the best that they could for Barnstable but lt was just too much to do alone. Barnstable hud a very good sea- son with 12 wins and 3 defeats, plus the ract that they beat P-town three times In one your , two league games and one for the Cupe cham- pionship. A talent show was presented Fri- day to students of Barnstable High School by the Junior Class. Per- formers were Owen Robbins, Charles Amado and Kenneth Du- chaney, who sang and accompanied themselves on guitars; John Jones and Donald White, who played plane solos, and Margaret Walsh , who sang "Becuuse."
