"Miss Cape Cod"
Contest Progresses
Rapidly
Blanche Robinson of "Cape Cod'
lally Yours" fume has accepted the
invitation of the OstorvIHe Vetor
ans' Association to be a judge in
their forthcoming Miss Cape Cod
contest
Blanche, on her Friday, APrll 29,
program over Station WOCB, Inter-
viewed Mr. John Lobe) , who is on
the Contest Committee , and to-
gether they straightened out many
points of misunderstanding about
the contest .
The first point was that it isn't
a beauty contest , but rather a Miss
Cape Cod contest . Tho difference
Is that tbe winner should be truly
representative of Capo Cod, which
of course would include prottlnoss ,
but also personality, ability to wear
clothes becomingly, poise, general
appearance, and any of the other
attributes that go to make up u
smart looking girl.
The second point that was cleared
up on Miss Robinson's program was
that the girls do not have to weur
bathlng suits to compete in the
contest. She can wear whatever
she thinks will best bring out her
assets. If she looks best in a bath-
ing suit, or an evening gown, or
sportswear, then by all means,
that's whfct she can wear.
Mr. Lebel said that the contest
Is running way ahead of expecta-
tions and the advanced sale of tick-
ets Is more than encoura ging. Along
with the contest there Is going to
be a May dance and valuable door
prizes.
But it is tbe committee 's feeling
that there are no pretty girls in
either Falmouth or Provlncetown.
Neither of these two towns are go-
ing to be represented. It used to be
that both towns had plenty of pretty
girls, but apparently there aren't
any left. The contest committee
feels that despite tbe fact that
those two towns haven't any nice
looking girls, they should send
someone up to the finals In HyannlB
so that they can say tbat the whole
Cape is represented.

(The following was given at a recent mooting in Hyannis of the
Forestry Committee by John 11. Lambert , Jr., Em-ester of tho Massachu-
setts Division of Forestry. Senator Stone calls it "otto of tho best prac-
tical presentations of the subject.")
In order lo show what, can be done about raising a valuable
crop of timber on the soils of Capo Cod , District Forester, Mr.
Charles L. Cherry, and myself have gathered together some
data on growth and values from existing tree stands found,
in the towns of Orleans, Barnstable, Mashpoe , and Falmouth.
This is ii good cross-section of (he Capo.
One of tho oldest plantations on'
Capo Cod, and In this country, Is
tho John Kom-lek , Sr. plantation
at Orlcuns planted In March 1878.
It eoitBlBtB mainly of white Pine,
Scotch Pino, and Tamarack or
Larch , although plantings of Hod
Pine, Norway Maple, Black and
Norway Spruce, Chestnut , Arbor
Vitae , Catulpu and Allanthus wore
also found. The Scotch Pine Is no-
table for its straightnoss of stem
and both Scotch Pine* and White
Pine have roseeeded themselves
prollfic ally.
Mr. J. H. Simmons of the Massa-
chusetts Department of Conserva-
tion made a study of this planta-
tion in 1914. it.was then thirty-
eight yearB old. He found It had
been planted with seedlings In a
corn field on a four-foot spacing,
although some hud been planted by
the seed-spot method.
The original owner lived to make
an initial thinning, taking out dead
and overcrowded trees. In 1914, tbe
White Pine had G71 trees, 40 feet
high, and 17,03.'! board feet per
acre. The Scotch Pine had 610
treoB, 40 feet high and 17-180 board
feet per acre. The Tamarack stand
hod 680 trees per acre 35 feet high
and 10,392 board feet per acre.
Unfortunately, the 1944 hurricane
blew down much of this timber, so
no volumes per acre could be close-
ly compared at this time. However,
in a study last month it was found
that a statement in Mr. Simmons'
report in 1914 is very true and 1
quote :
"Even as they stand they present
u marked contrast to tho natlvo
Pitch Pino, bolng tailor and of
greater dlumoter. "
Charles Cherry and I found White
Pine running up to 10 inch I).II ,II.
and three logs or 66 foot total
height , Scotch Pine of 18 inch
D.B.H. and 2% logs or 60 foot total
height , Tamarack 12 Inch D.B.H.
and HO feet , and lied Pino 14 Inch
and 2Mt logs or -tie feet total height.
Pitch Pino of the sanio ago adjoin-
ing this plan I at ion bud attained
only 13 inch D.B.H. and (ay. logs,
46 feel total height .
It has boon determined that this
area Is Kite III , or poor site , being
a I Mill -It li-y Sand , one of the poorest
soils in Massachusetts. A Yield Ta-
ble for Silte III shows at 86 years
a volume por acre of 16,1160 board
