THE "OLD PARSONAGE"
There are the Presidential
"White House." the "Governor's
Mansion" and the Parson 's parson
age. Other nations have their tradi-
tions. So do we, of a sturdy and lion
orable sort. President and Parson
may be more or less praiseworthy
but when we elect a person to the
service of the people, he acquires 11
sort of "aura " which turns a for
ever light on what he does und
owns. The "White House" may be
repaired out of recognition or even
torn down but the finger of mem-
ory would always point to the spot
where it stood. So, In a humbler
way, with the houses of ministers,
If dedicated to such use. In 1945
the Old Parsonage ceased to be so
used , but to this day it has been
so known and called.
"The house was built for a par-
sonage for the Congregational
Church In 1S34. The first deed was
lost , apparently, when the Court
House burned , but it Is known to
have been In existence In 1S34. At
that time the church on Phinney 's
lane was being transferred to the
new church edifice , where It now
stands. The minister In 1S35 was
the Rev . Wm. Merchant , so ho
must have lived in this house. The
previous minister was the Rev .
Hazel Lucas, who came here in 1S31
and probably served until 1S35.
"In 1S45, the church sold the
property to Mr . William Phinney
(great grandfather of the late Mr.
Howard Lumbert), who, with his
wife, occupied the house until their
deaths. The present owners have
that deed of sule , which is most in-
teresting for it bears the names of
all the church members in 1S45.
Many of them of course are ances-
tors of present residents of Center-
ville.
"After the death of Mr. Phinney,
the property was purchased by
dipt. George W. Hamblin , who oc-
cupied it for many years, with his
wife, son and daughter. He was one
of the well-known sea captains who
went out from this town.
"Later occupants of the Old Par-
sonage were Mr. and Mrs. Ed W.
Crowell. Mrs. Crowell established
here her little variety shop and dis-
played her embroideries and other
wares in a porch which she added
to the house. Her little sign noted
'Embroideries, stamped linens , la-
ces, stationery, hosiery, etc' for
sule. Up to that time the white
fence , such as still exists on North
Main Street , enclosed both sides
of the lot. A picture of the "Old
Parsonage' appears in the book on
Old Home Week. Especially shown
in the picture are the two elm trees
by the front door on which grows a
sturdy vine , the root of which Capt.
llainleu brought back to his wife
from one of his sea voyages. The
vine is still abundant , though it has
practically killed the trees.
"Following the occupancy of Mr.
and Mrs. Crowell. the Old Parson-
age passed through several hands
but was occupied very little until
it came into the possession of Mr,
and Mrs. Clifford A. Waterhouse,
the present owners."
The devotion and care which they
give to this historic building are
greatly appreciated by the Village.
FIRE DEPT ADDS MEN
Our Fire Department has recent-
ly added us new members , Elwood
Bearse , Thornton Nickerson, Rob-
ert Childs, Warren McKim , Burton
Robbins and Frank Horn , who are

MAY DAY
Put a plain mark on your calendar
for .May Day, when our schools will
present a very attractive program
for the benefit of all concerned;
I The First Grade 's contribution will
be selections which will be sung
and then played by the Rhythm
Hand . Several songs tie in with
other countries , dances from which
will be presented by the upper
' grades.
The Second and Third Grades
will present a play, adapted from a
folk-music play, "The Cobbler and
the Elves." It takes place In the
| Land of Make Believe, where the
Cobbler and his Wife make "make
believe shoes," out of "make be-
lieve leather " for "make believe
people."
The boys and girls of Grades
[Three and Four plan to present a
portrayal of early days In America.
This will Include an Indian scene
by n camp fire, which will serve as
the background for the Peace
Treaty between the Indians and
the Pilgrims. Then the Westward
Expansion will be represented ,
showing the Pioneers in their dress
of the times and their household
equipment and songs and folk
dunces typical of the Expansion
Movement , advancing toward the
West with their covered wagons.
The costumes, Indian headdresses ,
peace pipes, etc., are made by the
children themselves.
I The Fifth und Sixth Grades con-
! tribute an imaginary World Cruise,
with the theme of World . Friend-
ship. The dances and songs come
from Finland , Sweden, Spain , Por-
I tugal , Ireland, Hawaii and several
South American countries.
The school children are busy
I making programs, tickets, posters,
scenery and costumes, as well as
rehearsing the songs and dances to
he used. The performance will be
given out of doors in the Hollow
on May 1st or the first pleasant day
thereafter. The proceeds will be
used for recreational equipment for
the school. May the Column say
again . . . Let us all realize and re-
joice in the beautiful and suitable
school building we have , that it Is
here among our homes , conducted
by teachers in whom we have con-
fidence and filled with the best—
for our thinking—youngsters in the
land. Shall we support and stand
by it to the limit?
FALL FROM LADDER

Childs . 10-year-old son of Mr. and
Mrs. Joseph Childs of North Main
Street , while climbing a ladder at

In the Cape Cod Hospital for a
week and was brought home Wed-
nesday. He is doing very well. It is
recalled that his brother, Billy, nlso1

EXCERPT FROM SERMON
To remember from last Sunday 's
¦sermon :"Nothing was ever sacred
to Jesus , save as it helped persons.
Religion , society, the Church and
Sabbath are made for men and not
men for them. We know that the
tragic sin of our modern world bus
been und still Is that It has cured
too little for what happens to Indi-
viduals. It has forgotten to mind
what befalls men und women , boys
and girls , one hy one."
