The Month For A Quick Pick-Up
We are about to enter upon the month of June, that love-
nonth of all the year, so some say. Yet, how comparatively
¦ "itsiders enjoy that month on Cape Cod —just those who
f °
f
l
heir summer homes early and make a long season.
For the most part, vacationists crowd all their time into
and August, so that the season is thought of as lying be-
the Fourth of July and Labor Day. There is some linger-
"*" int0 September, more so than advance coming in June.
g
tember eases ,away the summer period, usually with plenty
1
limme r warmth, though tipped with a breath of the approach-
•
tumn June, on the other hand, has vestiges of spring in
g
^r while exuding
an
abundant promise
of
summer.
'C
One may enjoy being present on the Cape in June for fur-
reason than the delightfulness of the month itself. He has
.feasant exhilaration of securing advance seats at a show,
°
t in-ahead-of-the-crowd feeling, that peculiar satisfaction of
!
connoisseur , who knows a thing is good and partakes of its
uiv and service before the throng gets hold of it. And, for
1stwho must work through the summer , a respite in June is a
/
'pick-up before the onslaught of hot weather.
' There is no month of the year that we who live here do not
iov our Cape, but June so narrowly escapes the onset of the
L.August period, that we wonder our summer folk "do not
Hize it more.
The schools of the nation are, of course, a serious obstacle.
nee they spend a good part of June either closing or in the
ectancy 0f closing, they treat the month as a let-down time.
iniJd they not wind up the school year more promptly, with
aduation over early in June or even by Memorial Day?
ITUTORIAL
WHS there ever suh n ride from Huston to Sandwich, West
Barnstable, Yimnoul li , and ifynnnis V For comfort, it WBR lileo
your home set on wheels. For company, it was like your favorite
club , with your friends nil around, For speed , it, wus like no
train trip you ever took to Capo Cod.
The "Cranberry " rolled on Mon-
day. Wo rolled up In the morning,
but , oxcopt tor tbi- highly satisfac-
tory speed, It was an ordinary
train of cars. The "Cranberry"
was being saved tor tho uCtornoon
run down as Its official Initial trip.
About forty Cape Cod men and
women, each representing a differ-
ent group locally, were lnvttod by
the New Haven Company to go to
Boston on Monday to participate
in the ceremony of Inauguration
of the new , "Cranberry. "
The HrBt ovont wns a luncheon
i at the Parker House. New Haven
' President Laurence Whlttemore
and Assistant Vice-President Her-
bert L. Baldwin were hosts for the
occasion and with other rail offi-
cials had luncheon with their
guests in the Old Boston Room, a
prlvlate dining room. Roast stuffed
chicken with all the flxln's was the
menu.
After lunch President Whltte-
more addressed the group, review-
ing the railroad situation to date
as it Involved tho Old Colony line.
In the course of his remarks, Mr.
Whlttemore said, "Frankly, we do
not know whether peoplo will leave
highway travel and use our trains.
It the experiment we are making
with these trains this summer Is
not successful, it will be a great
blow to the railroad. If there were
no passengers at all . It will mean
to the compuny an oxpouse ot
$50,000," He explained that the
new schodule of trains has been
arranged as a result of the recent
poll taken. Summer residents hnd
told the railroad they would com-
mute dally, If a fast train wore put
on.
Tho Cranborry Is a ' fast train.
It leaves Boston dally at 4:50 p.m.,
Monday through Friday, arrives
In Hyannls at 0:45 , with a running
time of one hour and 65 minutes.
Its first stop Is Wareham. It omits
the stop at Barnstable. The train
glveB BO smooth a riding perform-
ance and, without the accustomed
stops at Brockton , Brldgewator,
Mlddleboro , and other stations, it
seems so swift that one looks out
the window at the Wareham Sta-
tion, hardly able to realise we hod
arrived so soon. Why, wo wero
practically homo!

1 "As He died to make men holy
Let us die to make men free."
—The Battle Hymn ot the Republic.
Suow-whlte against the green rolling hills ot Arlington the
headstones mark the resting places of men of three warB who
died to make men free. Not far away, In Alexandria , lies another
—marking the Unknown Soldier of the American Revolution.
All over Amerlcu, all over the world , there are others. Some
gleam white ; some nro gray, worn with time.
The park facing the White House memorializes the French-
man, Lafayette. In the park stands a statue to the Pole, Pulaski;
another for the German, Von Steuben. „
"Let us die to make men free ."
Why are men willing to die for freedom in war but un-
willing to pay the smaller prico to keep their freedom in peace?
Why do they march, gun on shoulder , to battle but fall to march,
pen In hand, to the polls? Why do they fight through the flame
and steel of the foreigners' guns and bombs lint cringe before
the anticipated blast of the embattled politician In their home
town?
As we honor the Frenchman Lafayette, the Pole Pulaski,
the German Von Steuben, do we forget that their countrymen,
too, have often died for freedom, and as often seen It snatched
from them by enemies from within?
Freedom lost must be again won by tho courage of those
willing to die. Freedom won must lie retained by the courage of
those willing to live by the Ideals for which the others died.
Freedom rests not on guns, money or modern plumbing, Its
foundation Is no stronger than the hearts of the men who would
be free. Wars end. The battle for freedom never ends.
It 1B right to pause on Memorial Day to honor our deud and
the families who gave them to tho cause of freedom. But, my
friend , you cannot pay your dolit to them with a garland of
flowers, a moment of silent prayer, a parade and a firing squad.
Look In the mirror into your own oyes. Ask yourself, "What am
I doing, today, in my town, to hold safe the freedom they held
so dear?"
Let us live to make men free.
As He lived to make men holy
