Ice For Great Island A schooner with 100 tons of ice from Maine for Great Island ar- rived at Hyannls April 29, 30 YEARS AGO Making Annual Visitations District Deputy Grand High Priest Walter B. Chase of Hyannls and suite are making their annual visit to the Royal Arch chapters in this district. Shows Some Speed The volunteer submarine chaser of Roland C. Nickerson of East Brewster made the trip from T wharf, Boston, to Provincetown Sunday in one hour and 45 minutes Sunday School Convention The Barnstable East district held Its annual spring Sunday school convention at the Chatham M. E church Wednesday. FromThe Patriot'sEarly Files The Cape Cod Hospital , as a member hospital of the Massachu- setts Blue Cross, lias been desiK- nated an Institution to receive veterans hospitalized through serv- ice-connected disabilities, Francis R. VanBuren , Hurwlchport , admin- istrator, announced this week. "The plan Is not yet In effect ," Mr. VanBuren said, "but awaits the acceptance of two contracts, one between the Veterans Administra- tion, the Blue Cross and the mem- ber hospital , and the fee schedule, between the VeteranB Administra- tion , the Blue Shield and the Massa- chusetts Medical Society." The Blue Shield , Mr. VanBuren said, takes care of the financial end of reimbursing the doctors for their •services , while the Blue Cross pays for hospitalization of members. "The hospitalization of veterans here," Mr. VanBuren continued , "will be administered by the Blue Cross, and will be handled by the Veterans Administration in the same manner as the Emergency Maternal and Infant Care program now going on." While the hospitalization of veterans is still In the "proposed" , stage? the local administrator said ! "I have no doubt that it will go In- to effect , and we of the Cape hos- pital will care for any veteran sent here." Speaking. In regard to the num- ber of veterans that could be handled, Mr. VanBuren continued, "As I aee It. our facility Isn't going to be a veterans' hospital , but just to handle the overflow that can 't be handled by regular services. "It Is just that the Veterans Ad- ministration , according to General Bradley, hasn 't enough facilities to handle all cases and local institu- tions are stepping in to care for any overflow , with reimbursement com-! ing from the Veterans Administra- tion ," he continued. "While we will cure for any vet- erans «ent here," Mr. VanBuren concluded , "our facilities at present are not sufficient to care for any large amount. However, in the future, we expect to be able to handle more." DINING ROOM OPENS The new dining room of the Hy- annlB Inn was opened to the pub- lic last night and from the com- ments heard among the many who went there to dine, the setting and the foods made for a most delight- ful meal. Jack and James Pendergast, who recently purchased the Inn from Mr. and Mrs. Henry Hatigh, have engaged a topnotch chef in the per- son of Charles Connell, for ten years at Boston's famous Lincoln- shire Hotel. The new proprietors have extended a standing Invitation to all to inspect the new kitchen. A cocktail lounge Is In operation and a wide and varied menu is the feature of the dining room. Cape Cod Hospital Soon to Take Veterans With Service Disabilities In spite of this country 's great wealth of men , machines, ¦ natural resources and technical ability, we are headed for i trouble. The principle reason for the trouble is that in the | wake of the war there is a crying need for everybody to work I harder and longer than ever before and perhaps suffer a decline \ in living standards to boot , but nobody seems willing to do 1 so. The theme song is shorter hours, higher wages, lower taxes. However, unless more work and higher production ac- ' companies wage raises, nothing has been gained. As Mr. Bernard Baruch said, "To make the take-home worth while, more things at lower prices must be produced. That is up to labor more than management. Unless each man produces more j for what he receives, increases his output , there will be less , for him and all the others. Each one will receive more money but have fewer things. '. . . Who gets any advantage if goods are not produced faster than wages are advanced and money printed?" What has been happening in the coal industry gives point to Baruch's warning. Mine operators, knowing they were buck- ing an irrisistible trend , offered the miners wage increases and shorter hours in conformity with settlements in the steel and automotive industries. This was before the latest coal strike. The offer would have added between 100 and ISO million dollars to the cost of producing bituminous coal in the course i of 12 months, all of which would have been added onto the nation's fuel bill because the profit margin in coal can be squeezed no thinner. However, the strike went on for even higher stakes. The union now demands a 10-cent royalty or excise tax on every ton of coal, which would also have to be paid by the consumer. The royalty would put fifty million dollars annually into the hands of the union—more money than the bituminous coal industry netted after taxes, in 1943, the most recent year for which the figures are available. Thus there will probably be less coal at a higher price, when all that stands between the country and uncontrolled inflation is high production at a minimum price. This prob- ability of less goods at higher and higher prices will become a certainty in all lines of industry if steps are not taken to curb the monopolistic power of the modern labor union. Headed For Trouble Continued from "Page I Bell Bottom Trousers The ditty, "Bell Bottom Trousers," may soon have the nostalgic note of "A Bicycle Built for Two" if efforts to change the sailor uniform are successful. Critics of the old uniform point out that modern ship facilities take much of the wind out of the argument for the practicability of the traditional uniform left over from trie days of wood and sail. Some of the older men i in for the emergency feel that while the "monkey suit" may j have a certain jauntiness on the youngsters, it does not lend dignity to age. On the other hand, there is no getting away from the fact that a man-of-war's man with his present outfit can cruise for a year with no more than a scrubbing brush , a whisk broom and a little shoe polish , and look as neat and smart on his first liberty as he ever did. The three creases in the collar, like the reverse seam creases in the "bell bottoms," are always there after being stowed in a seabag with seaman-like skill. For years the male civilian has been adopting more and more the bluejacket 's neckline in business, after knowing its comfort in sportswear. Many an old Navy hand feels that when "the fleet 's in" and a tide of battlejackets instead of bluejackets , overseas caps instead of jaunty flat hats, begins to roll down the street, "some- thing about a sailor " will be gone.

Real Estate Developments Two tracts In Craigville, one In Ostervllle and another at West Yarmouth are being developed. j Moving Old Town Building The old town building at Hynn- nis Is ready to be moved to its new location to make way for the new town office building. Bridge To Remain Open Thanks to the efforts of Repre- sentative Charles Bassett, the Bass River bridge will be kept open this summer for traffic. The House was considering closing it all summer for necessary repairs. 20 YEARS AGO Continued from Page I The Hyannis Steamship Line will operate from its own pier on Ocean Street in Hyannis, two blocks from the center of the village, and will dock on Nantucket at Straight Wharf , directly at the foot of Main Street. Extensive additions are be- ing made to Straight Wharf and the Hyannis Wharf by the company. Tentative schedules call for two round trips each day, leaving Nan- tucket at 7 a.m. and 3 p.m. and leaving Hyannis at 10 a.m. and G P.m. The trip will approximate two hours. The Hyannis Steamship Line, a new company, was the conception of Mr. David , Daniel J. Fern, Hyan- nls attorney, and Edward L. Har- ris. Seeing the need for Hervlce from Hyannis to Nantucket , the company was' formed , and is financed entirely by Cape Cod capital. "It is logical," said Mr. Fern , "that passengers and freight to and from Nantucket should pass through Hyannls. Not only is It ' the major terminus or the railroad . and motor bus and motor freight lines on the Cape, but it is the ! closest mainland point to the is- land. We intend to provide fast, dependable service to and from Nantucket for as many months of the year as economically possible. May I point out that even air transportation, theoretically faster, will not be much faster , center of town to center of town, than our ship service. And other forms of water transportation will be much slower." NOTHING CORNY ABOUT THIS Hybrid corn acreage has been expanded at such a rate as to make up nerly two-thirds of America's acreage -today. Steamship Continued f rom Page I J a member of the hall committee for three years. Miss Ida M. Taylor, First District President , sent a telegram of con- gratulations to Mrs. Pierce, awl Miss Arey was presented a Presi- \ dent's pin. The latter also received a large bouquet of cut flowers from Mrs. Horatio S, Bond, the oldest member and a charter member of the Club. Of the five charter members llv- Ing, others present were Mrs. Charles E. Harris, who was presi- dent when the other mortgage was burned , Mrs. Arthur G. Guyer, Mrs Daniel Bearse and Miss Eloise H- Crocker. Mrs. Everett O. Bond Is the other charter member. The 1946-47 budget was present- ed and accepted and a fund for re- decorating and re-furnishing the clubhouse was started. There were 50 members present at the meeting and a luncheon, which preceded the business. A musical entertainment followed Ye'low tulips and beachphim blos- soms decorated the tables and stage. Mortgage { Colonel George O. Bond, son of Mrs.' Daisy N. Bond, 20 Pearl Street , Hyannls, Mass., has been assigned as Air Inspector of the Atlantic Division of the Air Trans- port Command with Headquarters at Fort Totten, Bayslde, New York . Former Base Commander of Meeks Field , Iceland , and Lagens Field In the Azores, Colonel Bond returned from overseas In March , 1946. The culmination of many Im- portant assignments, Col. Bond is directly responsible to Major General Lawrence S. Kuter , Com- manding General of the Atlantic Division , which maintains 36,000 miles of military air routes In sup- plying high-priority mall , personnel and cargo to the occupation forces in Europe, Africa and Asia. As Air Inspector he is charged with the economy and efficiency of adminis- trations and the manner of per- formance of tha assigned missions of the Division and its subordinate echelons. A Command Pilot with thousands of hours flying time, Col. Bond was Base Commander of Lagens Field in the Azores during the critical period shortly after VE Day when thousands of aircraft and troops were being redeployed to the United States with Japan as their ultimate goal. Problems of supply, aircraft maintenance, flight control, and personnel In the Azores were ex- tremely complex. Colonel Bond and his staff at Lagens Field faced their peak problems shortly after VE-Day, when the Azores were used as a key base for the White Project (the redeployment of thou- sands of tactical planes to the U. S.), and the Green Project (the ferrying of more than 50,000 GI's a month by C-54 Skymaster Aircraft) . ' In October 1945, Colonel Bond transferred to Iceland of the North Atlantic Wing to assume command of Meeks Field. He remained at this station until his return to the United States and his present as- signment In March , 1946. A graduate of Barnstable High School, Colonel Bond attended Springfield College and Northeast- y ern University before entering the service as a Flying Cadet In Feb- ruary 1929. Upon completion of flight training at Brooks and Kelly Fields in San Antonio, Texas, he re- ceived his Wings and was commis- sioned a Second Lieutenant in the Air Corps Reserve. Assigned to Mltchel Field , New York , he com- pleted his tour of duty as pilot and communications officer and re- , signed to accept a Civil Service position with the government In Washington. Recalled to active duty for brief periods each year to maintain his aeronautical rating, Colonel Bond rejoined the Air Corps In July, lit ai , ana was assigueu io L,angiey | Field , Virginia. In October ot the j same year he transferred to France Field In the Canal Zone. A squad- ron commander and pioneer ot many inter-Latin flights , he return- ed to .the continental United States In Apri l, 1940 , to assume new duties as a squadron commander at Boil- ing Field, Washington. Promoted to the rank of Cap- tain In February 1941, his flying expreience proved Invaluable as pilot for many officials of high posi- tion in the government , In addition to dignitaries and diplomats of other countries. A Senior Pilot at the time , he was promoted to Major in March 1942, and to Lt. Colonel In June 1943. With the advent of the Training Command in 1943, Col. Bond trans- ferred to Forth Worth , Texas, to organize and establish the Head- quarters Squadron at Turin Field. Later, as Assistant Air Inspector, a post he held until his departure overseas, he was awarded the Com- mendation Ribbon and promoted to full Colonel In February, 1945. Wearer of the European Theater of Operations Ribbon, the Ameri- can Theater Ribbon , the American Defense Ribbon and the Victory Medal , Col. Bond maintains resi- dence at Fort Totten with his wife, the former Lillian Baker of Wash- ington , D. C. I _ YOUTH HOSTELS OPEN MAY, 30th Both Youth hostels on Cape Cod, one at Sandwich and the other at North Eaatham , have been Inspect- ed and accepted by the American Youth Hostels, Inc., and will be opened May 30, Donald W. Booth , New England regional director ot the organization , announced this week. Each of the hostels Is sponsored by a Community Committee, the Woman's Club at Sandwich , and at Eastham by a group headed by Mrs. Mildred H. CummingB, and each has been chartered by the national organization. The Sandwich hostel, with Mrs. Nan McCann as house mother, Is situated in a converted barn at the rear of the McCann home. The one at North Eastham comprises part of the home of the house mother, Mrs. Elmer Lloyd , along with a converted garage near the house. Each has facilities to house 15 boys and 15 girls each night. During the Summer, the hostels expect to serve at least 1200 at each, Mr. Booth said, and because of the distance necessary to travel, other hostels, in the Prov incetown Hyannls and Falmouth areas arc sought.
