The request of Klliott II. Mac-

lug High School in Portland"
, Me.
Principal Uriah K. Connor prais-
ed Mr . MacSwan highly and Issued
the following statement:
"The request of Mr. MacSwan to
be relieved of ills duties as head
football coach is receive d with
deep personal regret. Except for
the years during World War 11.
when be was in the Navy, Mac has
been associated Willi Barnstable
High School football since 1936.
"Last Jllllo when be was asked
to take over again as head conch ,
It was his request thai it be for
ono year. Only those close to the
situation havo any true apprecia-
tion or understanding of the prob-
lems this year caused by the lack
of a practice Held at Ihe new hig h
School, the Asian intluen/.a. and the
loss of key personnel.
"Those who have played for him,
bis associates, and nil those who
know litin respect and admire Mr .

preciate what lie has done for lliirn-
Mable High School athletics ."

der Mac are indeed fort una I e, as
I know of no liner gentleman on or
off the football Held than Elliott
MacSwan. "
llyannis call tireinen will no
longer depend upon bearing tho
lire whistle to call tlieni to the
station in case of a blaze. A new
system Inaugurated this week will
automatically issue a call to each
of the call fi remen by means or n
short wave radio set installed in
their homes , ami OjOnnected lo the
llyannis central tire station.
Fire Chief (Monti ('lough , has said
this will mean a great saving in
lime In getting Hie men to Hie sta-
tion in the least possible time and
will also insure the department
that each of the men will hour the
alarm wherever they may be In
their home.
Mr . t'lougb said. "In the pnst
when we were dependent upon the
li re Whistle, many limes our men
failed to hear Ihe whistle If there
was undue noise in the hf mm> or
it the wind was blowing the wrong
way. There have been I - when
as few us ten men responded to an
alarm, owing to some factor beyond
their control. "
Chief ('lough explained the new
system In Ibis way. There Is a con-
trol, sending and receiving set in
the central station. When an alarm
COmes Into the station , a button Is
pressed which sounds an alarm
from the sets In the 110 homes , loud
enough to wake a call fireman it'
ho is Bleeping and of about 10 sec-
ond duration. After a brief Inter-
val , the location of the lire is
broadcast Into each home , so the
call fireman may know where to
report, whether directly to the Htu-
tion or to the location of the blaze .
Chier OlOUgb believes that tho
now wrinkle in Informing call lire-
men will be of great help to tho
department, by making possible o"
Informing the cull-men quickly.

CONSTRUCTION OF NEW DWELLINGS BOOMS BUT
COMMERCIAL ACTIVITY IS STRANGELY QUIET
Luther H. Howes
Building Inspector Herbert 1) . Stringer informs us thai
residential building is booming in Barnstable but thai there
is loss new commercial construction now than normally during
this pre-tourist season. Mr. Stringer had expected that as the
result of the fact that virtually all motels did a thriving busi-
ness last summer there would be more new motor courts erected
for the coming season, particularl y out on Route'132. This is
not the fact.
Last month the estimated value of the dwellings for which
permits were issued totaled $346,000. In this respect Barnstable
was exceeded by only five other cities or towns in the State ,
namely, Brockton , Boston, Framiugham , Quincy and Falmouth.
Mr. Stringer said that during April he continued to issue
permits for new dwellings at a high rate. Most new homes being
Will HIT in the $15,000 to $20,000 price range and they are
general ly scattered on large lots throughout the town , he said.
The rumor , and it is strictly a rumor , is that the next
major bi g commercial move in Hyannis will involve tho Holm
property, the parcel on Main Street west of the new (.rant's
Rtora and bounded by Main , Bassetl Lane and North street.
«e rumor is that a big food chain store would like to locate
there and that, some other businesses now located downtown
are mterested in going along.

PB0P0SED OSTERVILLE MOTEL WOULD REPRESENT
A MAJOR INVESTMENT
Building-wise and otherwise, the hearing before tlie Board
of Appeals next Thursday on the application of Thomas 1'.
l'oogan of New York for a special permit which would allow
'urn to tear down the famed old Osterville Manor on West Bay
""ad and replace it with a stiper-duper motel type hotel is
«tremely important for that village and for the town.
Very fragmentary reports which we have received indicate
"»at there will be no massed opposition to the request -and we
don't believe there should be.
Harry Jenkins, who has long been affiliated with highly
desirable properties in Oyster Harbors , is familiar with Mr.
poogan's plans and informs us that, a most attractive structure
ls Proposed. Ho was unable to give an estimated cost but a good
Bless is that the 50 to 100-unit project will represent an overall
"Watmeat of somewhere between $250,000 and $600,000.
'Hie Manor which the motel would replace is one of Oster-
Wlle'g oldest commercial landmarks. It was erected back about
lMI
'"
' by _he jute Horace S, Crosby and first was operated by
• Ir- Crosby and Grandma Lucy Crosby as a rooming house
Fnr Summer boarders.
The Manor remained in the Crosby family until sometime
'" foe 1920?s and in recent years has had a succession of owner.-.
Time of the hearing next Thursday on Mr. Coogan 's appli-
' a,,"» is 4:1 5. Presently the Manor is owned by a corporation
™d the understanding
*
is that the sale to Mr. Googan is eon-
m8ent nj,,,,, granting of the permit.
