liuvo been selected by the lluroau
of Wildlife Heseurch and Manage-
ment for experimenting to dotor-
mlu the llshlng pressure on the va-
rious ponds; what effect Ice fishing
has on Msh populations , and, In the
trout ponds, what speclos of trout
show the best survival. This ex-
perimenting Is for Iho purpose of
knowing how to manage properly
every one of the ponds and lakes
in the stato, in order, to provide tbo
boot llshlng possible.
The two ponds chosen are Wick-
alMig Pond In West llrooklleld , Wor-
cester County, where are found
large mouth bass, pickerel, and
perch; and Cliff Pond in <¦!•<> Nlck-
orson Stato Forest, Brewster, Barn-
stable County, a trout pond.
Men will bo located on these two
ponds. The public aro asked to fish
and submit ouch catch to tbo re-
search representative for weighing
and measuring to determine the
ugo and rate ot growth. This will
help provide information on how
to keep the ponds well stocked
with the proper number und kinds
of fish.
On A pril first the Aptucxet Trading Post in Bourne opened
again to the public for the 1949 season. Until November one,
it will be open every lay front 9 :00 A.M. to 5 :00 P.M., except
Mondays.
Cape CodderH , as well as summer
visitors, who have not yet visited
this replica of colonial trading
days, should make a point to do so
this year.
The contract between the Ply-
mouth Colony's leaders and the
London Adventurers for the con-
trol of trade made mention ot the
Aptucxet Trading Post, which was
sot up In 1627 as the first trading
post ot the Colony. This contract
marked the beginning of organized
business In this country, It was the
first business contract written and
slgnod in America.
The probability Is that the Col-
ony 's leaders disposed of the trad-
ing post in 1060, since it had been
founded as a means of paying tha
debts of the Colony and the likeli-
hood was that by that time the
debts were till discharged.
The Bourne Historical Society
was formed in 1921 and, us soon as
It could raise the money, It pur-
chased the lot of the old Trading
Post, upon which all that remained
of tbo site of the ancient building
were two cellar holes.
Excavations brought to light
many relics. In 1927 u small bronze
tablet was placed on a cairn which
certain patriotic Bourne citizens
built from some loose foundation
stones in the old foundation. The
tablet bore this Inscription : "Slto
of Aptucxet—The First Plymouth
Colony Trading Post—built 1627—
This Memorial Dedicated by Bourne
for the construction of a replica of
the old building. Response was na-
tlon-wldo. The General Society of
May Mowe r Descendants contributed
generously, as woll as many others.
In 1930 a permanent roplicu of
( he. old building had beon complet-
ed, erected on tbo original founda-
tions, and was opened to the pub-
lic as a "Memorial to the early
traders who, by their tenacity of
high purpose here blazed a definite
and successful beginning of the
trail of the nation 's commerce."
This ancient landmark was
placed at the beginning of the an-
cient Manumet (an Indian word
moaning "Trail of the Burden Car-
riers") Portage across the Isthmus
of Capo Cod near tbo mouth of
Manamot River (now the western
end of the Cape Cod Canal at
Bourne, Massachusetts) for the
purpose ot more conveniently and
safely carrying on trade with the
people to the southward.

Washington, D. C.
Dear Senator Lodge:
The Cape Cod Board of Realtors,
numbering a hundred membors, are
individually and collectively op-
posed to any form ot government
interference with the vast building
program now going on all over tho
country, and deplore the fact that
we have so many Sociallatically
minded people in our Congress. We
trust that you will be recorded
against the passage ot Public
Housing bill S 1070.
We have never had so much
building construction as is now go-
ing on all over Cape Cod, and we
are gradually bringing the costs
down because we are entering the
competitive Btage which is the nat-
ural economic development of free
enterprise and individual initiative
in the building of homes.
We realise that if the govern-
ment starts a vast housing program,
materials and labor will become
scarce and the coBtB ot building
construction will go up beyond the
price range of people with modest
incomes, and our building progrum
will stop.
We look to you to help defeat
Senate bill 1070. Thank you.
Respectfully yours,
Benjamin F. Teel, President
Cape Cod Board ot Realtors.

"There Is No Place Like It"
A statement in a neighboring paper published over on the
north side, signed by one L. P. Birch, makes a suggestion for
making the Cape more beautiful. Beyond the usual references
to tree-planting and keeping grounds neat and buildings Cape
Cod style, he has a new idea.
He says, "Paint stores in all the villages a pale gray with white
trimmings, and let each village have its own distinctive color on its
AOOTS and blinds, being very careful not to overdo the color.
"One village to have bright red doors; another maroon; another
uyannls green ; another darker green ; another yellow; another slue,
Ld so on. Then folks passing hrough looking tor stores and the village
will be sure to see them and be pleased with their neat appearance.
"It could be started on a small scale with the painting done In the
„ew color just as soon as the old color needs to be done over."
This is certainly a novel idea.Whether it will be adopted by
Cape storekeepers is another question. And what, by the way, is
Hyannis green?
Mr. Birch's closing statement is one with which we all easily
agree : "Wonderful Cape Cod! There is no place,like it."
It is true that there is no place like Cape Cod and the more
pity, then, that every possible effort should not be made to keep
all the beauty and symmetry we have and devise ways of having
more of these qualities.
Prof. A. W. Boicourt, horticulturist at the University of
jMassachusetts
, speaking recently before the Cape Cod Chamber
of Commerce, warned about letting commercial signs dominate
our landscape. He also told what visitors expect to see. They
wish to see informal gardens in so-called Cape Cod style, and
that appearances of our houses and grounds matter greatly in
the impression we make on our visitors.
Fortunately, the state extension service is available to us
1
through its local county agency in Barnstable Village. It stands
ready with advice and guidance for the beautification of our
houses and grounds, as well as for our other problems of an
horticulture or landscape nature.
