EASTER SERVICE Easter at the Village Church has long been notable for its special preparation and beauty of service and decoration. Last Sunday was thought by many to be the most notable they had seen. The entire chancel was completely banked with very beautiful green, inter- spersed with numbers of Easter and calla lilies and other white flowers, the offering as it has been for many years, of a village resi- dent and member of the church. At 10:15 the grades of the church school gathered for their own pri- vate and devout service before the alter. Many have spoken of the in- 1 spiring quality of the music and the pastor's sermon. "Easter, so longed for, is gone in a day ", but it need not be if we will remember it and treasure its helpfulness in our hearts. What is memory given us for but to remember what is good. SERMON EXCERPT This to "remember".—The com- bination of work in the present and trust in God's grace for the future must become the settled habit of mind. Recall how St. Francis was one day working in his garden, when a passerby asked him , "Now what would you be doing if you knew you must die tonight?" And St. Francis gravely answered , "I should go right on hoeing my garden." SCOUT HIKE The scouts are on their way. Don- ald Dixon, formerly a Cub Scout, has now become a Tenderfoot. A practical hike is planned for them by their Scoutmaster for Thursday evening. FIELD DAY APRIL 23rd Field Day of the Athletic Associa- tion was postponed on account of uncertain weather the 1th, and is now dated Saturday, the 23rd , wben it is expected the same program will be carried out. May the sun shine! KNITTING SESSIONS The Ladies' Circle .whose work has been so seriously affected by weather and illnesses this winter , expects to meet as usual at the vestry Wednesdays, the remainder of the month. A new order for a large number of the knitted mitts for golf club heads has been re- ceived, to the great pleasure of the indefatigable knitters. PASTOR ON VACATION Our parsonage family, the Rev. and Mrs. Robert Brock and family left Wednesday morning for a week's vacation before the opening of the summer activities. PLACES OF INTERES T VISITED M/. and Mrs. John Pendergast find they have much to review and remember of their month-long re- cent vacation. After five days ln the Nation 's Capitol , at the thrill- ing Inauguration time, where they had the opportunity, of course, to meet and observe many of those who have our country 's welfare in their hands. They visited at least a dozen other places, for 24 hours or more. These included the new— old Williamsburg, a prosperous vil- lage of many years ago, which has of recent time been restored to be exactly as it then was. by one ot our patriotic wealthy families, in order "that we may not forget. " The Golfer 's Paradise, which is Mr. Pendergast 's second choice for the finest place in the world (you may guess first choice I, across the Trail to Sarasota, where the Great- est Show on Earth makes Its win- ter home, can be visited and com- petes for interest with a museum , cotainlng some of the most valu- able paintings in the world. St. Petersburg, crowded and burstlg at the seams. Everywhere Mr. Pen- dergast found prosperity and good cheer but believes that the era of extravagant spending is passing to give way to sane and reasonable prosperity. One hopes that the prac- tice of travel might become in- creasingly more general. There is so much to see and hear and learn. BIRTHDAY PARTY Little Miss Kristin Fuller, daugh- ter of Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Fuller of South Main Street, enjoyed her second birthday on Monday and had as guests Linda Pukki, Judy Perry, Carolyn Hallett , Deborah Bearse, Marc White, Larry Cole- man and Stephen Fuller, Jr. Many lovely gifts were brought for the little lady and refreshments of cake and ice cream were served.

WILLIAM LUMBERT Our village is bereaved in the passing of Mr. William Lumbert. After a lifetime honored by the re- spect and affection of those who knew him and busy with good and useful work almost to the day of his sudden summons, he quietly entered a life of larger usefulness, where his good wife awaited him. We shall be the losers if we allow time to erase our memory of them and their lives of exemplary serv- ice. In his later years he was happy to be ln the home of bis daughter an dher husband, Mr. and Mrs. Prescott Fish, where his own home had been for many years. CENTERVILLE NEWS It again becomes necessary for Local Board Number 1 to call at- tention to the fact that all males are required to register upon reach- ing their ISth birthday. It is appar- ent, from the tew that have regis- tered in the 1931 group, that some have overlooked the fact that the Selective Service Act of 194S re- quires them to register within 10 days after they reach their 18th birthday. Using 1930 as a comparative year, it is found that 18 born In January of 1930 have registered , against 15 in January of 1931; 18 in February of 1930, and only 8 in February of 1931; 25 in March of 1930, and 10 in March of 1931. So far in April only one born in that month of 1931 has registered , against 22 born in April of 1930. For the convenience of the reg- istrant there are Registrars in the following towns. 1. Barnstable: Office of Local Board No. 1, Room 9, 255 Main Street, Hyannis. 2. Bourne: Kathryn C. Chatuber- layne. 3. Brewster: A. Percie Newcomb. 4. Chatham: Rudolph Farrenkopf. 5.

SOME SEA SUPERSTITIONS An old time sailor would never kill an albatross believing It to be the dual repository for sailors' souls. On sailing ships caught ln the doldrums, the crew used to whistle for a wind or throw an old boot over the side. A male figure- head or name on a ship is bad luck. A baby born with a caul will never drown. A woman once brought a caul to the Information Desk, Seamen's Church Institute of New York, 25 South Street , and offered to sell It to any merchant seaman who might be Interested In carrying It for good luck. There were no takers. If the man is on her back it means dry weather; on her face, rain. A pig tattooed on the left arm will keep a sailor from drowning. PASSENGER PIGEON MEMORIAL Located at Pigeon Hills , York County, Pennsylvania , is the newly established Passenger Pigeon Me- morial , recently dedicated to wild life conservation by tbe Boy Scouts | of the Conewago District of Penn- sylvania. The memorial is a shaft of native stone on which is set a Plate with a life size figure of the Passenger Pigeon, reports the American Express Travel Service, Pigeon Hills was named from the thousands ot migratory birds which , from pioneer days annually have darkened the skies ln that district.

Millet. MARSTONS MILLS Continued f rom Pag esf York, used to bring sugar, tobacco, linen cloth, "Holland finer and coarser" stuffs to trade with the Plymouth colonists. The English- men, by another creek on the north side of the Cape (the Scusset River) brought their furs to within four or five miles, at what is now Sagamore, and then portaged them to their Manamet store—Aptucxet —to "avoyd the compasing of Cap- Codd and those deangerous shoulds; and so make any voiage to ye southward in much shorter time, and with farr less danger." From the correspondence of Gov- ernor Bradford, and from his his- tory "Of Plimoth Plantation," it has been found that this Trading! Post not only played a most vital part in the financial struggles of tbe early settlers, but appears to have been what truthfully may be called the Cradle of American Com- merce. From a report In the Rijks Ar- chlef (National Archives), at The Hague, it has been learned that here, in October, 1627, the Dutch West India Company, through itB representative, Isaac De Raslere, then Secretary at New Amsterdam, first introduced to the New England colonists the use of Wampampeake —or Wampum—which for years was legal tender ln business trans- actions throughout the colonies— an event of much historical inter- est, and it marks a preliminary step in the development of our cur- rency. Within the foundations of the old ruins, many articles and relics were discovered, which are now on exhibition in the replica : part of the blade of a huge English hoe, Apostle spoon bowls of latten with handles missing, fragments of Early Dutch slipware, a riding spur, stir- rup, iron harness buckle, a pewter rosette, small knife blades, a table knife with bone handle, fragments of blue glass bottles, pieces of early American earthenware, pottery and china, clay pipes, a candlestick. A large fragment of an oak beam was found , most of which crumbled on exposure to the air, In the fireplace ashes fragments of iron were prob- ably originally cranes and hooks. A stone axe blade waB uncovered, also two stone pestles and a stone adze. TATTOOING STILL PERSISTS^ Though some people think ot tl tooing as a relic of sailing dal along with parrots and peg leg bin caneers, the custom still persist among merchant seamen, Althougi many ot their ships now have die* el engines and radar and powg driven winches, the men still em blazon their brawny arms and chests with colorful tattoos. Tastei have changed little . . . the fulsow female figure is still popular, u are hearts and butterflies, squari rigged ships, flags, liberty bells am flying fish. Occasionally an lndlvli ualtst emerges from the ranks. On old tar had the tombstone of bi father tatooed on his chest. A wall through the lobby any day at it* Seamen's Church Institute of Nes York, 25 South Street, will con. vlnce the curious of the undying custom of nautical tattooing. CALIFORNIA'S MYSTERY HOU8E ' Visitors to San Jose, California now may inspect the Winchester Mystery House, reports the Ameri- can Express Travel Service.
