"A veteran preacher of the Gospel once left a strange but sensible legacy to his children in the following words: T desire (also) to bequeath to my children and their families my testimony to the truth and preciousness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. This heri- tage of the Christian faith , re- ceived in unbroken line from exiled and persecuted Huguenots and Scotch Covenanters as ancestors, is of infinitely more value than any house, laud or barns. I hereby be- queath and devise It to them.' " BUS TRIPS The Barnstable Branch of the Hospital Aid Association is run- ning a special bus today to the Toll House in Whitman.

CENTERVILLE NEWS I Continued from Page / quarters in the Herald Tribune Building the latter part of Febru- ary.. There 57 Friendly Towners came together from nine different states. In a two-day session they listened to experts on Child De- velopment, New York School Prob- lems, New York Family Life, Func- tions ot the Social Agencies, Com- munity Responsibilities. Three tours were conducted simultaneously around some of the underprivileged, neighborhoods of New York City, so that the dele- gates might see for themselves such places as "Hell's Kitchen" in the market district , the New York Polyclinic Hospital, the Hud- son Guild Settlement House, the new Elliott Houses (city housing project), a Spanish Church in Har- lem, Haarlem House near the Negro and Puerto Rlcan sections, Greenwich Village and the Arts and Crafts Building famous for the pottery made by neighborhood resi- dents, and the Italian Quarter on Bleecker Street. Hostesses from Friendly Towns visited parents and homes of their little guests of past summers. A group of the delegates was taken around the Herald Tribune plant late one evening to see the big Sunday edition being printed. Tickets were given the delegates for shows at Radio City. The highlight and climax of the Forum was the dinner given by Mr. Whitelaw Reid for the dele- gates. After a buffet dinner, served in tho Herald Tribune building, the delegates were entertained by Lanuy Ross who sang several selections to the pleasure and de- light of those present. The Bpeaker of the evening was William Agar from tho United Nations. "Widened HorlzonB" was the de- scriptive title ot this first Forum, and such it proved to those fortu- nate Friendly Town committee members, hosts and hostesses who attended. They returned to their home towns with added enthusiasm for the Fresh Air enterprise. We are sorry that more Cape Cod delegates could not have been there. (There was but one, tho Patriot editor , who was, in fact , the only representative from Massa- chusetts .) Perhaps plans can be made another year for each spon- soring organization to finance the trip ot one delegate, who could bring bock to that group something of tho spirit and thought of the Forum. Now for a look at the 1049 pro- gram. The Fund hopes to top the 500 mark this summer in the num. ber of children it can send away on vacations. The Fresh Air com- munities throughout the Eastern Seaboard states are getting into trim for the project, AB part of this great movement, all over Cape Cod committees are 1 being formed who will And homes willing to furnish these children's vacations. For the Towns of Barnstable, Yarmouth and Dennis, the Hyan- nis Kiwanls Club, of which Dr. Henry W. Pyne is president, is the sponsoring agency of the Fresh Air project, The Committee for secur- ing homes is as follows : George D. MyerB, chairman, Dr. Robert L, Baxter, Harry W. Lawes, Sidney V. Wright, Arnold H, Rogean, George P. Garoufes, James Pazakis, Victor F. Adams. Those who would like to take a FreBh Air guest for two weeks in July, from the 8th to the 22nd, should get ln touch with a member of this committee. Cape Cod entertained over 60 children in 1948. Let us see if we cannot better this figure in 1949 "Fresh Air" Season This column IB open to our readers for the expression ot their opinions on any subject in the public interest. The views and opinions expressed are not necessarily those of the management and the PATRIOT assumes no responsiblity regarding them. The New Beacon, Inc. 194 Commercial St., Provlncetown April 30, 1949 The Editor,, The Barnstable Patriot, Hyannis, Mass. Dear Miss Worrell : You recently quoted from our paper a portion of a copyrighted article entitled, "Reflections ot a Veteran", As we set forth in that particular bit of writing, Com- munists and fellow travelers have been the tormentors of discord in our particular community. This is not a matter of surmise or guess- work. It is a well-known fact. The great proportion of intelligent people here in our Town are quite wefl aware of it. We have had considerable ex- perience and dealing, down here, for a number of years, with Reds, Pinks and pale pinks. We are able to recognize the Party Line. I have noted with considerable interest the letter which has now appeared ln your latest number. In Its Walter Royal Jones, decries our choice of words in describing our feelings about the would-be Communist destroyers of American democracy. And he sheds some pretty dewy literary tears over what he chooses to call "the ten- dency to dismiss every critical exapiination of the shortcomings in our own society, as the work of Communist propagandists who are simply trying to create dis- cord . . . " Mr. Jones refers to our "un- guarded emotionalism", and to our "uncouth and abusive language." We would like to set Mr. Jones straight on three counts. First, we don't indulge in "unguarded emo- tionalism." Everything we print we mean , one hundred percent, stand in back off , and can pretty generally prove; Second , while we don't believe our language was uncouth , we don't believe in call- ing spades anything but spades, and we don't believe In calling rats and Bkunks anything but rats and skunks, shocking as that may seem; and Third, we differentiate very carefully between genuine "critical examination of our short- comings" and Communist-Inspired trouble-making. Just as Mr. Jones is dismayed over your editorial approval ot our remarks,—so are we dismayed to read of Mr. Jones' apparent will- ingness to admit the Communist charges that we are loaded to the gills with shortcomings. We don't know how the line old Barnstable Patriot will react to let- ters like the one from Reader Jones, but we can promise him one thing,—and that is that down here in Provlncetown, The New Beacon will continue to advocate real, old-fashioned solid patriotism and love of the United States of America. We will do no apologizing for the Communist Party, the Politburo, and their friends who would wreck our system ot govern- ment. We regret that The Patriot did not quote one more line from our article. We said that Communist Propagandists are aided by those who flock to any cause. Incident- ally, we will be very glad to send a copy ot the New Beacon, con- taining the artlole "Reflections oi ; a Veteran" to any one who writes requesting It, as long as they last. , Yourg respectfully, JOHN R. SMALL, Editor, The New Beacon Provlncetown, Mass j The Church ot the Covenant New York / May 2, 1949 Aunt Jane c/o Barnstable Patriot 24 Pleasant Street, Hyannis, Mass. Dear Aunt Jane: The Church of the Covenant Is honored by the mention in your column ln the Barnstable Patriot ol our Lenten Sacrificial Meal and the women's Day of Prayer. Doubtless you were in our congregation on February 27th. You may be Interested to know that the two projects have been very successful. The Day of Prayer meetings were held on March 4th in many countries around the world. There is no way of measur- j ing the results from such wide use of so powerful a weapon for peace. The Sacrificial Meals were held during Lent in many churches throughout the Presbyterian Church ln the U.S.A. In our con- gregation dozens of families be- came a little more conscious of what millions ln other lands are experiencing daily. Although the money saved in any one meal is not large and the money collected is small compared with the other benefits experienced by those who shared, it is interesting that the amount collected in our congrega- tion totals $303.00. A large soup kettle, like those used in relief feeding stations, was set up in the church vestibule for collection of the offerings. When you are in New York again I hope we can renew a friendship begun so happily. Sincerely yours, Raymond H. Rosche. P.S. It happens that the cartoon "These Women!" which was print- ed above your letter about the church on March 17th, was drawn hy Gregory d'Alesslo, who is a member and frequent worshipper in our congregation.
