The Barnetable Patriot Is entered as «<>«onvery Import-
ant in those days, carrying passen-
gers, freight, mail, etc., running
between Boston and Barnstable,
also between Hyannls and Nan-
tucket. Later In life Capt. Chase
carried on a grain business near
the Hyannls depot, now used by
the John Hinckley Co. His oldest
son, Heman B. Chase, married
Maud Pineo, daughter of ' Peter
Pineo, M.D., a distinguished sur-
geon, and polished gentleman. An-
other son, Edward L. Chase, was
well known and liked here. He car-
ried on the grain business after
his father's death. His wife was
our beloved Cteone Crowell Chase.
His daughter, Emily, Mrs. Everett
Stevens, everyone knows—what a
good, useful life she has lived—a
grand woman.
On of his grandsons, Walter B.
Chase, Is the widely known presi-
dent of the Hyannls Trust Co., and
another is Milton Chase, who has
been town clerk for about 30 years.
So you see they were and are
Cape Cod stock ot the best kind.
Heman, Peter, and Kate Chase
were children of the oldest son,
Heman B. Chase, and thus grand-
children of Peter Pineo, M.D., who
lived in the house on Main Street,
now occupied by the Rainvilles.
Deyo's History of Barnstable
County, notes that—"He was born
in Cornwallis, Nova Scotia, March
6, 1825, and came to Barnstable in
1850. He had already had a bril-
liant career for a young surgeon, ;
but his later activities were more
remarkable. In 1853 he moved to
Groton, practicing there for several
years. In June 1861, he was com-
missioned Surgeon of Ninth Regi-
ment, Mass., volunteered and en-
tered active service. He served on
staffs of General James S. Wads-
worth and Rufus King and was ]
General McDowell's medical di-
rector during the second Bull Run
battle. He also served on the staff
of General George G. Meade at
Antletam and South Mountain in
1862. During years 1863 - 1865 , he i
inspected every army on the At- ¦
lantic Coast from Washington to j
Texas. He was consulting surgeon '•
to Jefferson Davis during his con- !
flnement at Portress Monroe.
In 1866 he settled In Hyannis j
with his family. He was In charge
ot the V. S. Marine Hospital of
Barnstable County until 1880."
During that time hundreds of
vessels put into our harbors land-
ing sick soldiers and sailors who ,

lie, so we may never know, but tht
magazine article itself will tell
how well the grandson, Peter Pint,
Chase has succeeded. His brother
Heman, was equally successful , bet
he passed away some years ago.
Editor's Note : The article to
which Miss Hallett refers is called
PACEMAKER. Dr. Peter Pineo
Chase is, at three score and ten
incoming president of the Rhode
Island State Medical Society Hie
home Is in Providence.
Besides a full-time surgical prac
tlce, Dr. Chase Is named "an ac
complished skier, a newspaper
columnist, a civic light, ana a
student of the life and tlmeB tfi
Samuel Johnson." In bad winur
weather Dr. Chase sometlmej
makes his professional calls on

writes a medical column four tlmse

medical history of Samuel Johnson
from the birth record to the
autopsy report, and Is probably the
leading authority In this country

Dr. Chase sustains as well a deep
interest In civic affairs, having
been active In air pollution from

Signe Ha8so-Swedish
Film Star-Biography
When Signe Hasso, Swedish (11m
star, comes to Richard Aldrich'B
Cape Playhouse at Dennis to play
the lead In Frank Vosper's LOVE
FROM A STRANGER the week of
July 4, she will have appeared in
no less than a .dozen Hollywood
productions.
Playing opposite Ronald Colman
in IMAGINATION tops a formid-
able list of screen appearances in-
cluding THE HOUSE ON 92ND
STREET, THE STORY OF DK.
MASSELL and A DOUBLE LIFE.
Before coming to this country,
Miss Hasso was the reigning act-
ress of Sweden. She was the first
woman in that country to win an
award for a film performance, and
first to win the Scandinavian award
for both stage and screen perform-
ances.
Naturally, Signe hoped to dupli-
cate her success in Hollywood.
American , producers had been pag-
ing her for five years before she
finally signed a contract. That was
in August 1940 and, because of the
European war, she was forced to
travel three-fourths of the way
around the world to reach the film
capital early in 1941.
She didn 't start right In making
screen history, as she had hoped to
do. In fact, she didn't even get in
front of a camera for two years.
Signe was born in Stockholm,
Sweden. She has a sister and
brother, both younger than she.
She was raised in an atmosphere
of art and culture, her grandmother
being one of Sweden's foremost
artists.
When Signe was four her father
died, making it necessary for her
mother to work to support the
family. Eight years later the young-
ster entered the acting profession,
although she never had aspired to
become an actress.
One day the manager of the
Royal Dramatic Academy tele-
phoned the Lursson home and
asked to speak to the girl who
wanted to act. Mrs. Larsson in-
sisted that there must be a mistake.
She had two daughters but neither
of them had ever expressed a de-
sire to go on the stage. The man-
ager insisted. Someone had told him
that one of the Larsson girls was
just right for the stage.
Mrs. Larsson tulked to her girls
and they finally flipped a coin to
determine which ot' them would go
on the interview. Signe won and
was promptly enrolled in the school.
During the ensuing years she not
only studied constantly but ap-
peared regularly in roles of In-
creasing importance In Hoyal Acad-
emy productions. Her greatest suc-
cess during this period came at the-
age of 19 when she played the title
role In Schiller's MARY , QUEEN
OK SCOTS. She was the youngest
actress to appear in this role.
The actress can't recall all the
plays In which she has appeared
but the number runs into the
scores. In 1937 she made her first
appearance before the cameras in
HAXMATTEN which was filmed In
Stockholm. Her success on the
screen was as rapid as it had been
in the theatre and she appeared
in 14 more pictures, made in Swe-
den, Norway, Austria and Finland.
From the time her first picture
hit the theatres , Signe started re-
ceiving offers from Hollywood . But
she was reluctant to leave her na-
tive 'land until she was firmly 'estab-
lished there as' a film star.

Initiating Ceremony
For Nine New Elks
A Private, Little Subsidy
If ever an enterprise had an auspicious start , it is the "Cran-
berry." We are not referring to the cranberry industry,—that
started some years ago. We refer to the new train, the "Cran-
bery," whose inauguration took place on Monday.
Regardless of how much people like their new "Cranberry,"
approve its rolling qualities, take satisfaction in its equipment,
and are pleased generally at the convenience of having such a
train , what will really count will be the use to which the train is
Put ' . ,
When the Government thinks a new industry needs encour-
agement, it offers a subsidy or institutes a protective tariff. Cape
people have the opportunity of a life-time to secure really good,
—no, that is not the word—Cape people have the opportunity to
secure excellent railroad service, service which will extend the
year through. If we would, each and everyone of us, assume the
responsibility of helping that service to pay the railroad com-
pany which is giving it, we can win for ourselves the use of it
permanently.
Why not do a little private subsidizing, a little clapping on
of a private, little protective tariff? Why not take a hand at
priming the pump with a few bold, determined strokes? In other
words, why not make a business of using our trains? The differ-
ence between using the trains and the government subsidies
and tariffs we are talking about is that our kind of a subsidy
brings us immediate and direct benefit, for we get the train ride
each time we buy a ticket.
And you summer residents. Are not some of you just han-
kering to live on Cape Cod all four seasons of the year? NOW is
your opportunity . At any rate, try the 5-day commuting this
summer. See if it isn't preferable to a trip half its length or time
fighting for a place in a sea of moving mobs in a subway.
Don't just read this and say, "Yes, I must help, that is
fine " and then forget the matter. Decide to do it, then do it.
Whoever you are and whatever your calling, find some reason
to ride on our trains.
What you do to help an infant enterprise will become a good
habit that you will find yourself continuing to indulge from
choice. It will also encourage others to adopt a similar policy.

1949 "Jimmy" Drive
Starting Today
The Salvation Army has Inau-
gurated "Town Meetings " to be held
annually among its Service Fund
tthCoinmittees , which function in
419 New England communities.
Through these committees, in a
pooling and exchanging or experi-
ences, the organization is moving I
to strengthen and broaden its ac-
tivities .
The first of these "Town Meet-
ings " was held last week in Boston.
Attending from this community
were Rev. and Mrs. Carl F. Schultz ,
D.D., Mr, and Mrs . Edward C. Stone ,
and Mr. William A. Nicol of Hyan-
nis, who, as secretary of the Pub-
lic Relations Department, Issued
the "warrant" for the meeting. It
was voted to hold the next "town
meeting" in May or I960 at Port-
land , Maine , or Hartford , Conn .
As a result or last week's "town
meeting, " Salvation Army band mu-
sic ami the Army 's stimulating mes-
sage or spiritu ality and right-liv-
ing, regardless ot creed , may be
available on request to the remotest
New England villages.
The prpoposal for a motor Cara-
van manned by Salvation Army per-
sonnel and equipped with loud
speakers , record-player, and a
speaking platform was made by Mr.
Nicol. Reception was enthusiastic ,
and contributions were pledged to
help make the specially construct-
ed motor unit a reality.VThe prior-
ity rating given to the project will
be affected , it was stated , by the
degree of need for this service as
"In most communities where
there is no active unit of The Sal-
vation Army," Mr . Nicol said , "its
Service Funds ilo a remarkable job
helping the materially needy. Now I
this Caravan can supply
'
meuns
whereb y The Salvation Army and
Its Service Fund Committees can
reach the spiritua lly needy with in-
cidental lieueflt to »l\ chuvch.es.
This Is, after all , the primary and
fundamental purpose of The Salva-
tion Army, which believes no man
can achieve his best happiness un-
less he keeps In a right relation-
ship with God, regardless of denom-
ination or creed. "
The Service Fund plan , origi-
noted by Mr. Nicol 20 years ago,
was taken up by many area com-
manders of The Salvation Army and
eventually was given national sta-
tus as official policy by the Army's
top administrative board,

Dear Theodosia:
One Sunday afternoon not long
ago I went off for a nice ramble and
took "Greeter" with me. You re-
member "Greeter," the dog, £t"
course, with the curly, little fur
coat?
We had a flue walk in the lovely
afternoon spring sunshine. Greeter
enjoyed it as much as I did . But
she did one tunny thing,—at least,
to me it was funny. 1 suppose it
was perfectly natural dog conduct.
I noticed her running a little
more almfully and as if away from
something. Turning, I saw a' very
large dog standing watching my
Greeter. When the latter reached
a safe distance, she stopped to turn
around and survey the creature
that had startled her. She didn't
spend long looking him over, but
took to her heels again.
The incident quite tickled me.
How perfectly natural the conduct
was, although Its obvious quality
made it amusing. •
Maybe I've told you before that
Greeter got her mime from being
such a vociferous greeter when
any one in the family returns
home after even the briefest of
stays away. How will she jump all
over you, kiss you If she can reach
the right spot, and wiggle and wag-
gle to show you , in an unhesitating
way, how glad she is to see you
again.
Greeter certainly adds warmth
to a home-coming,—even to a home
already filled to overflowing with
rays of sunshine.
Your loving
Aunt Jane.
A Letter From Aunt Jane
To Her City Relations
Springtime 's song moves onward to the perfect finale—
June 's glory !
More definite , sparkling, grows the melody with deepening
harmony ;
Songbirds participate; Color and Fragrance j oyously vie for
foremost accent
While east, south, west, and north waft their tonal breath.
The penetrating loveliness of the music stirs the dormant self
to strong urge
For betterment. A time to recover lost faith.
—By Ida C. L, Nickerson
The Song In May
Unless editors take a strong stand on the question of gov-
ernment in business, a free press will disappear along with pri-
vate enterprise, That may sound like a broad statement but
socialized policies are taking hold in this country faster than
most people realize.—Industrial News Review.
