EXCERPT FROM SERMON To remember from last Sunday 's sermon.—"In Buchenwald Concen- tration Camp there wus u poster prominently dlsplnyed which pro- claimed , 'Here there is no God.' They were wrong who said that , for God was there, j udging the beastly men and women who com- mitted such unspeakable horrors on their fellows. Yet somehow tbe person who put that sign up sensed that when man ceased to believe in a God of righteousness and love and no longer required them as part of the Divine drama , life itself de- generates into something foul and intolerable."

Mr. Teddy Edward s ,of the Es- | I tales bus made an excellent recov- 1 I ery from his recent Illness, to the j ] great pleasure of Mr. and Mrs. Ed- j j wards ' friends . | Herbert Rlckaby, writing on the . Cruise ship, "Charleston. " (Fro m I the Caribbean.) "March 6.—It is Sunday evening ami a very warm one at that . Tomorrow morning we 1 Will arrive in Vera Cruz, Mexico. The cruise is going very nicely so , far and 1 am seeing a lot of very , interesting places. I manage to ' keep busy on the ship and do not ! have us much time for sightseeing I as i would like. Our last port was |New Orleans, where 1 forgo t all about looking up the Rlckaby ; Manor that we talked about and I you tried to see when yon came j through but were pprevetued by the i bad weather at the time. During our stay there the famed Mardi Qras was on in full swing. The long parades of prettily decorated floats and numerous adolescent ' hands going up and down the j streets at night, as well us in the daytime, were certainly u spectacle i to see. On Mardi Gras Day the en- ' tire city wus urged to throw aside I all inhibitions and assume any role ' which pleased their fancy. That day the populace was in every sort of costume imaginable. I will not try to explain the tradition behind the Mardi Gras, because 1 am not sure that I understand it very well myself. But it has been a tradition i in New Orleans for over two hun- ! dred years and it seems they are | j planning for a whole year ahead for this short time of merriment l and entertainment. My 'boss ' has !consented to let me off at Calves ton, where we have four days, so that I will be able to fly up to Riv- erside, Cal., to spend a tew hours with my family, if 1 can make good connections. " The Marquand story, "Point of No Return," is now out in book, form, at $. 'J.50 , The Header reports. It is a tale of New England , prob- ably placed in Newburyport , as ' where else can so good a likeness of "Clyde '' be found. In aviation , the point of no return is reached when trouble looms and there Is not enough gas left to go back— there is nothing to do but go on und chance what comes. If "Charles Cray" wins our hearts as the center of the story, we still have to rec- ognize the charm of his father , ' John,—brilliant, lovable, Irrational |in whose hands money melted like I snowflakes. But Is anyone meant j by "Lawrence Lovell" and his I portly sister Genrgianna? A strange j choice of names If ,—or If not! Re- member, if you can And the maga- zine mentioned lust week, the story begins with December and ends in April.

Crawford to the Chamber as presi- dent during tbe past two years, and thereby acknowledge with grat- itude his wise leadership to which is due much or the Chamber's steady, forward progress." Upon taking office, Mr. Megath- lin oiiLlined the part the Chamber of Commerce had taken in the growth and development of Cape Cod since the early 1920's and pre- dicted the organization 's even greater Influence In the years ahead. "The Cape is growing by leaps and bounds , both as a summer ami autumn resort and as a year-round living place, " he said. "The Cham- ber must and will grow according- ly, tor there are , more and more potential members and supporters of our organization—more people are coming to live here." i Pointing out the increasing in- terest of young people In the Cape's civic life, the newly elected presi- , dent asked the directors to give j "serious consideration " to estab- lishing in the near future a Junior . Chamber of Commerce. New directors named for a three- year term were Warren R. Corliss, Eustliniii ; Edward J, Gosselin , Bass River ; John R, Peterson , Joseph Miskell and Nathan lssokson, all of Falmouth; Louis A. Webster and John R. Emery, Chatham; Floyd Van Duzer and F. Howard Hinckley, Cummaquld; M UBCII G. Kayajan , Buzzards Bay; Walter Chase, Hyannis ; Roswell H. Nye, Harwich , and Calvin n. Crawford. The Chamber 's 1949 finance plan which calls for a $46,000 budget was announced by C. Russell Har- ris, finance committee chairman and met with unanimous approval of the directors. In explaining the budget, most of which Is earmarked for resort advertising and promo- tion, Mr. Cook said that the plan already had been approved by sev eral Cape business groups. ' "ful- fillmen t of the plan," he declared, "calls for raising $30,000 through memberships this year where $18.- 000 was raised in 1948, Our com- prehensive promotion plan la aimed toward maintenance ot Cape Cod's economy at its present level, but that cannot be achieved without adequate support of the liusinesi and professional people of tli* area, " Directors favored the resolution of Joseph Sorenti of Sagamore thai' native Cape materiuls and equip- ment owned by Cape residents be utilised as much as possiblo ID nil public works projects. Mr. Sorenti added that it was doubly vital to the Cape's economy to use more local labor in public works. Warren Corliss reported thut there was more than a million dollars worth of trucks and construction equip- ment now idle in BarnBtablc County. The annual reports of the Cham- ber 's standing committees and new appointments to these groups will be announced within a few days.
