i STICKER REMINDER
Gov. Voipe has reminded Us of
our precious heritage of freedom
in his Loyalty Day (May I) procla-
mation and warns that freedom en-
dures and grows only when men
recognize its value and strive
actively to preserve and defend it
against apathy, corruption and
tyranny.
Pansy filled baskets are now ap-
pearing in all their colorful glory
at roadside stands and florist shops
on the Cape.
Tills ts really something for our
Cape merchants to think about:
sidewalk chatter says that the new
store near the airport traffic circle
did a breathtaking $120,000 worth of
business on opening day. True or
not , a lot of people went In and out.
The new state bicycle law which
becomes effective in July may do
more startling than protecting
(slowing down to 15 mph and toot-
ing) and in some instances the
riders may think you're Just being
fresh.
TOWN TOPICS
A Dartmouth College freshman
from Centerville returned to Han-
over April 24 after completing a
leisurely five day Journey by canoe
down the Connecticut River.
He is a Richard A. Scaramellt,
son of Mr. and Mrs, Albert A. Scar-
amellt of Richard's Lane, Center-
ville. Scaramelll was one of 24 men
to make the 218 mile trip from Han-
over to Old Saybrook, Conn.
The Journey is part of a Dart-
mouth tradition which began in
1173 with John Ledyard, Class of
1775, who hewed a river-worthy
craft from a log for the Journey.
Ledyard later became a well-known
world traveler and explorer.
Dick was graduated from Barn-
stable High School last June.

New Scout Troop
Being Organized
When winds are high, and when
aren't they on tho Cape, there are
several youngsters who live along
Ocean Street, Hyannls who make a
bee-line to tho beach for a session
of kite-flying. The kites are being
made by James Whyte of Ocean
Street who has had a touch of
Spring fever and each afternoon he
retires to his garage where he has
set up shop. By now, virtually every
youngster In his neighborhood,
from six to sixteen , have been pro-
vided with a kite.
Spring Fever
Remember to set your clocks
and*watches ahead Saturday
night and be prepared to low
that hour again. Daylight sav-
luf time begins April 3» at

A major dovclopmcnt in the Boat-
line Authority dispute over the
merits of public or privately-owned
steamer service between Hyannls,
Martha's Vineyard nnd Nantucket
emerged today with dlsclosuro by
Captain Joseph T. Gelinas, princi-
pal stockholder of the Island Steam-
ship Company, of purchase of (
Pleasant Struct Wharf and key ad-
jacent properties.
Details of the sale were not Im-
mediately made public but owner—
Captain Gelmas of the B. S. Mar-
tha's Vineyard , 210-foot summer ex-
cursion vessel, said that operations'
would commence late in June for
dally round-trip service for cars
and passengers between Hyannls
and Nantucket. Similar service for
passengers only will be provided to
the Vineyard by tho smaller ves-
sels Catherlne-Tek and Katerl-Tck ,
also owned nnd operated by tho
Island Steamship Company.
COMPETITION HOGGED
Competitive service proposed by
the Woods Hole, Martha 's Vineyard
and Nantucket Steamship Authority
has been bogged down, at least for
the 1081 summer season, by court
action Instigated by proporty own-
ers and the Board of Selectmen of
Falmouth and Bornstablo who op-
posed Authority plans to lease pier
facilities , not yet constructed , in
South Hyannls.
In announcing his land purchases,
Captain Qellnas said that develop-
ment of the harbor-front properties
will enhance the appearance and
waterside facilities of the entire
Lewis Bay arcu. Somo dredging
already has boon completed by the
navigation company and also tho
Federal government and early -use
of tho channel by large craft,
Oollnus asserts, will deepen Its
present moan low water level of
12 feet. The Martha's Vineyard, now
certified by U. S. Customs at below
the 100 gross tonnage limit required
for operation to tho Islands, has a
maximum draft of 10 feet , suitable
for safe operation. To Insure com-
plcto maneuverability from her
berth at Pleasant Street Wharf
and through the twisting channel
through Lewis Bay, the refurbished
excursion vessel has been oqulpped
with one of navigation's most mod-
ern aids, a water thrust bow "rud-
der". Only one other vessel Is
known to bo BO oqulpped.
"THRUST RUDDER"
Briefly, a thrust rudder consists
of a reversible propcllor Installed in
tho bow which, with a Hick of tho
wrist from tho bridge , ejects a
powerful Jet of water to port or
starboard as needed. It is useful
especially for navigating large ves-
sels in close ureas and through
winding channels. Operated In-
dependently of tho vessel's main
engine, it is an Innovation in steam-
boat navigation,
Tho properties being purchased
by Captain aellnas, except for sev-
eral smull, unneeded parcels, in-
clude, roughly, tho Plensant Street
Wharf urea bounded by Pleasant,
South and School Street Extension.
Exempted arc the Bijou rooming
house, the small power station and
building at the corner of Pleasant
and South Streets, and the water-
side proporty of the Baxter Fish
Market at tho foot of Pleasant
street. Grading operations already
have begun for a largo parking
area immediately adjacent to
Pleasant Street Wharf.
STRENGTHEN AND EXTEND
Under present plans, tho Island
Steamship Line plans to strength-
en and extend Its present wharfage
to permit loading of automobiles on
tire Martha 's Vineyard and to pro-
vide adequate dockago facilities for
tho motor vessels Cntherlno-Tok
and Katerl-Tck; also for the Alba-
tross HI, former Oceanographlc In-
stitute vessel, owned by Captain
Goilnas but temporarily out of ser-
vice. Tho Cathcrlne-Tck will give
passenger service' between Hyannls
and Martha 's Vineyard during the
summer with tho Katorl-Tek as an
auxiliary and for charter.
The parking area, which prob-
ably will bo hard-topped In 1062,
will accommodate between 000 and
100 oars. If tho Board of Survey
approves, a roadway eventually will
cross tho area to link School Street
Extension, formerly known as
Moorolund Terrace, with Pleasant
Street and thus provide two-way
access to the wharf.
GREAT IMPROVEMENT
In disclosing his purchase plana,
Captain Qellnas said that ho now
had "every expectation" of provid-
ing daytime s'rvloo on schedule
this Bummer between Hyunnl.i,
Nantucket and the Islands.
"Our nowly-ltistallod Dlosel-olec-
trlo motors," he said, "glvo us add-
ed speed. Our safety equipment In-
cludes radar, shlp-to-shoro tele-
phono, fathometer soundings, an
automatic warning system through-
out which spots oven a small,
blown-fuso, and all Bafoty apparatus
required for security of our passen-
gers. Wo will bo ono of ti)n safest
excursion vessels operating on Nan-
tucket Sound and with tho Cath-
orlne-Tok providing dally sorvlce
to tho Vineyard and the Katorl-Tek
on call as an auxiliary wo can
handle all cross-Sound traffic to
the Islands that Is required from
Hyannls.
It Is proposed that beginning In
middle or lato Juno, tho Martha 's
Vineyard will begin daily runs from
Hyannls to Nantucket , leaving
Pleasant Street Wharf at 10 a.m.,
arrlvo ut noon ; leave at 3:30 p.m.
and dock again at Hynnuls ut 8:50
p.m. Tills schedule will continue
until mid-September.
There win bo freight cpaoe for
approximately 20 automobiles and
main and upper d?ck space for
1 , 100 passengers, plus snack bar
facilities.
