April 6 is the date of the anni- versary of the entry of the United States into World War I. The date was officially recognized as Army Day by Congress in 1937.

One day every year Is set aside as Army Day, whose significance is three-fold. It is to honor those who serve or have served in the Army, with particular remembrance of the men and wo- [ men who gave their lives ; the Day is used to show the citizens of our country the equipment and duties ot tneir Army; and It announces to the Nation the importance of muintultilng for the defense of our country an army adequate and strong. While It is the first duty of the Army to defend the country in time of war, It also serves in time of peace. When disaster strikes, the Army is always ready, mobilized in full resource to aid under distressed conditions. In the recent blizzards ' In the west, it was the Army who mine to the rescue of the people anil animals who were snowbound.

Hiiskius and Miss Dorothy Worrell , publisher and editor , ro-« speativ'ely, ot the Barnstable Pat- riot. The program was given under tho auspices of the Business and Professional Women's Club of Cape Cod , and was on the subject , "Cape Cod Newspapers." The material was compiled largely by Mrs . Jor- dun. , Cape Cod newspapers, old and , new. The Idea for this subject wus ( suggested by a Cupo Codder who ; thought we should all know more about those romantic papers and the people responsible for them. I ltrcords reveal that there have been at least twenty-four nowspa- ' Mini's lounded on this side of tho Canal, their founding dates ranging ( from 1923 to 1!MS. The oldest active , paper on Cape Cod is the Barn- Stable Put riot, rounded in 1880. The very llrst Cupe paper was the Nautical Itilulllgonser , publish od in Falmouth by W. K. P. lingers In 182H. The plant was moved to Sandwich and through luck of , Hinds discontinued publications I within a few years. i The llarnstiilil n Journal wus pro- , liiicod in Hie Village of Hurimtahle i at I hut time by N.
