MARRIAGES
At the recent Golden Anniversary
of the Animal Rescue League, cel-
ebrated with a supper at the Cop-
ley-Plaza Hotel In Boston, where
(100 members and friends commem-
orated 50 years of service to ani-
mals, one of tbe speakers was a
Cape Cod resident. Mrs. Rockwell
Coffin of Harwlchport , member of
the Board of Directors of the
League, gave the history of animal
rescue work on Cape Cod.
Those present at the occasion
paid tribute to Mrs. Huntington
Smith, founder and for thirty years
the president of the League.
Mrs. Coffin's address follows:
Friends of our Animal Rescue
League and fellow workers, having
shaken the sands of Cape Cod from
my shoes and returned to my na-
tive heath , It is a joy to be with
you tonight to celebrate our Golden
Anniversary.
One winter's day in 1910 1 first
visited our League's small head-
quarters at 68 Carver Street. From
her desk a. little lady of quiet mien
dressed In soft shades of brown,
rose to greet me: "We have much
in common I know, " she said. "Let
us sit down together and talk It al
j over."
j Thus was I welcomed as a new
director of the Animal Rescue
( League of Boston by its foundei
, and president, Mrs. Huntington
! Smith ; and today I realize that
^hen and there the first link was
(forged in a chain which eventually
| was to lead from Carver Street to
1 Cape Cod.
Discovering that I spent my sum-
mer at Falmouth, Mrs. Smith told
me of her ardent desire to extend
aid to the Cape,. "Letters have been
coming to me from one end of
Cape Cod to the other." slip said,
"begging flmt we help animals, in
distress. "
Something of this I knew, since
early childhood both by the shores
of Jamaica Pond and at Falmouth
I had gathered up abandoned eats
and kittens and taken food to old
banis haunted by strays. So I
longed to help In some workable
plan of relief but for the time be-
ing, as a mere summer resident
this was impossible.
Five years later Mrs. Smith, un-
daunted by obstucles, succeeded In
appointing a part-time agent on tho
Cape. With him I was able to co-
operate and each autumn on my
return to Boston our president and
T would confer and plan tor our
ultimate goal: That some day we
have two ugents and two shelters
where needy animals could be
eared for according to the well-
known system used at our League
In Boston.
When at last in 1931 that goal
was In sight, not long after my
husband and I were established In
our year 'round home In the Town-
ship of Harwich, one sad fact
marred the joy of approaching at-
tainment—Anna Harris Smith ,
whose vision, courage and perse-
verance had blazed the trail for us
to follow , had not lived to see lier
hopes fulfilled. But her work goes
on.
It would have done her heart
good to join the group of women
representing towns and villages all
over Cape Cod gathered on our
veranda one bright July morning.
Suddenl y an open bench wagon
overflowing |t seemed with young
people and ilogs whirled up to the
door, A vivi d woman jumped out
«nd sprang to my side. "I didn 't
answer your lette r ," she said "I'm
[H '°- but for your Tag Day we've
ORGANIZED, "
And a glorious day that was.
W hen girls and boys sporting gay
bandanas and "Animal Rescue
League" in white letters on bright
hlue arm bands, passed our dona-
tion boxes In every Cape town So
successful they were that opening
lay our Cape Cod brand, was set
mi its feet—on all Its four feet
Now in its eighteenth year we
ire steadily growing. Our work Is
jecomlng better known , better un-
lerstood and recognized as n vital
orce In the Community.
In our two shelters , one at North
Harwich, which Is under the cu-
mblo management of Hlllard Hop-
kins, and at Eastham under the of-
llclent direction of Deputy Sheriff
U alter F. Nlckerson, on the way to
I' lovlncetown , our two agents are
m the alert to faro every type of
emergency from a domestic dls-
igreement whereby a dog bewll-
lured roams from town to town in
11a. Seth saved himself many man
1 hours of work which he would
. have lost if they had traveled by
t surface transportation .
1 Among the passengers using
Cape Air Service paper plane to
the Islands were CharleB Ten-ill
' salesman for Kraft Cheese; Win
" Tallman of the Remington Type
• writer Company; Mr. R. B. Whit
1 man of the Geueral Electric Com
" pany, and Mr. Arthur Manes ol
Nantucket.
1 Cape Air Service pilots, Parinen
ter and Anthony, who regularly fly
, the newspapers to the Islands, have
, been dubbed "The Flypaper Boys"
I by the airport personnel.
Beech Aircraft Corporation is
losing no time capitalizing on Bill
1 Odom 's Honolulu-Teterboro flight
to impress businessmen with po-
tential of tbe personal-type air-
craft. The company plans imme-
diately to send the pilot around
' the country as an "ambassador"
for the light plane industry in a
campaign to sell the public—par-
ticularly businessmen—on the per-
sonal aircraft's utility, dependabil-
ity, and low cost operation.- i
With spring in the air the feeling
to get In the air hus hit many pilots
who have had their planes laid up
for the winter. For the past few
days planes have been arriving
I from all parts of parts of New Eng-
land In an almost steady stream.
Warren Frothingham and his flyer
wife VI dropped In from Newbury-
port, Mass., in their new four-place
Aeronca to deliver a mounted SO
pound and 0 ounce striped bass
caught by Charles Brown at Or-
leans last summer. It had Just com-
pleted the rounds of all the Sports-
men's shows lncludlug Boston and
New York. Airline passenger traf-
fic has BIIOWII a definite increase
and Inquiries lor flight informa-
tion has kept Mr. Hutchins, N. E.
Airlines' station manager, on the
Phone constantly.
The Cape Cod Flying Club mem-
bers have Increased their tempo
with new pilot member Norman
Dlnsmore of Yarmouthport putting
in most of the time getting ready
for his private pilot's flight test
with CAA Examiner Al Sherman.
Further proof of spring was the
appearance of Jdkn Carter to put
In some flight tinie last Sunday in
the club Cessna 140.
Airport Manager Al Sherman
called a meeting of the beads of
all services operating from the air-
port for the purpose of discussing
ways of improving all services to
the public at the airport , whether
they come by air or automobile.
I hose present were Joe Curtis, air-
port restaurant; Hartley Hutchins,

son private aircraft owner ; Jack
Hudd. Hyannis Flying Club ; Paul

, Steadily improving safety record
of the certificated airlines is being
givou favorable recognition by the
nations ' insurance companies. A
new report by the Institute of Life
insurance has disclosed that pas-
senger travel on U. S. scheduled
domestic airlines is no longer a
significant underwriting factor In
the issuunce of life Insurance poli-
cies. Of 100 companies surveyed by
the Institute, 95 now accept at
standard rates applicants patroniz-
ing the scheduled domestic air-
lines.
