MEMORIAL SUNDAY
In earnest Invitation is extended
to all veterans of the wars of our
country to attend this very special
service—in uniform if they please
to do so. Since there is no organiza-
tion to attend as such , uniforms
would mark the occasion. People of
all faiths are also covdlally invited
to attend, as we remember and pay
honor to those who offered their
lives that we, as a people and as a
country might survive.
QUOTATION FROM SERMON
To emember from last Sunday,—
"Life is a school, in which we must
run the risk of struggle, pain and
tragedy. God does not seem as
much interested in making life
easy as He Is in giving power ad-
quiite for the experiences of life.
This must be necessary for our
growth of soul, mind and character.
Christianit y Is not a false assur-
ance of freedom from the struggle.
Rnther it offers us wisdom and
understanding, faith In the ulti-
mate goodness or life , fellowship
with one another and with God ,
a sufficiency open to any one who
by daily relience upon God will
accept it. le is true that when we
reach the end of our bearded re-
courses, our Father's full giving
has only begun, 'For out of His
infinite riches in Jesus, He giveth
and giveth again '."
LUNCH FOR CHILDREN

similar Camp-o-ree, our boys took

or exceed this record. We have now-
some fifteen members (a new Cub
seen coming up) but there are as
many more who should have the
advantages ot Scout training. An-
gus Perry is their popular Scout
Master.
FESTIVAL OF FLOWERS
If one needed a little reminder
of spring to carry about In one's
heart until another May returns,
one should never misB the annual
spring flower show of the Center-
vllle Library. There it is for you—
the loveliest of the season's offer-
ings from garden, woods, field and
hedge row—in case you belong to
the school of thought that likes to
have a picture of spring time to
carry around with you in your
pocket.
This Is a most unusual affair . It
IB not a flower show In the usual
Bense of the word. If you want to
enter something in a class , you
will have to make up one. If you '
want a row ot judges to award you
the best in the show, you will have
to furnish both the judges and the
prizes. This is a real festival of
spring when everyone makes his
finest bouquet in his favorite con-
tainer, expressing himself thereby
(we hope), carries it all dripping
and fresh with the morning to the
church vestry and knows that it
will add to the general air of grace
and beauty all about.
Was there ever such a spring for
beach plum blossoms? To many the
sight of old fields foaming with the
mist ot plum blossoms is just so
many jars of Jelly at the proper
time. But to the perceptive eye
and loving heart no spring time on
Cape Cod is complete without the
beach plum blossom. So it was
meet that the first sight that caught
your eye as you entered the church
was a huge bowl of these very bios- 1
soma with their dark and twisted i
stems tucked in with the new soft
rosy leaves of the maple .
And Macs. One Is tempted to
quote all the poetry that comes to
mind about New England' s beloved
flower and the "heart-shaped
leaves ," but their perfume—or the
memory of it should send you to
reading It first hand. Lilacs every-
where—with tulips in an old com-
pote ; with pink dogwood against
the wall ln a delicate blush shell
shaped vase; with narcissi—some
like gardenias—and lilies of the
valley ; with the first airy blossoms
ot the columbine. Lilacs fell , as
they should , In a groat drift from
window sill and table top—the
deep wine colored ones companion-
ing some rare ones in a soft shade
of blue,
Pansies bloomed from every cor-
ner and formed the theme of many
of the children 's bouquetB. Rose
hugonls—our earliest yellow rose—
was there near a bowl full of flow-
ers from the woods, while a brown
fungus had Inspired some one to
combine It with copper beech and
box wood and make one of the moBt
beautiful designs of the day. Kerrla
and bright yellow tulips brought
the sunshine of the day into the
room, while the scent of white wis-
taria which was a part of some-
one's offerin g hung all about like i-
dream.
Ladles fair poured tea and coffee
from 3 until 5, while Mrs. Phillip
French luul charge of a food sale
which proved very popular all after- ,
noon. About a hundred people came j
to enjoy the occasion, many of them
carrying away a spring afternoon
In May which will never be forgot-
ten.
SQUARE DANCING
DEMONSTRATION ,
For the past 10 weeks the chil-
dren have been rehearsing square
dancing at the village school, under
the sponsorship of the Town of
Barnstable Playground and Recre-
ation Commission , with Mr. Rich-
ard Anderson , member of the Com-
mission, as Instructor, assisted by
Mrs. Louise Cavaniigh of Center-
vllle. who volunteered her services
during this period. Practicing has
been done in the school basement.
The final session will take the
form of a demonstration, to which
parents ami friends are Invited , at
,-! o'clock on Friday afternoon, May
27, at the school. Prizes will be
given tor the best farmer's costume,
the best hill-bil ly costume, and the
best cowboy costume. Grades 1 to
ti will participate.
tint of this group will be selected
a smaller group who qualify for
giving demonstrations at future
square dance festivals.
From tiO to 05 children have been
taking advantage of the opportu-
ne- offered at the Centervllle
school , and children have been wel-
comed as participants from all over
the town.
MAY FESTIVAL
May 18th, the day of the Cen-
tervllle Festival , was ideal. The
sun shone warmly and the sky was
cloudless. The committee on ar-
rangements worked hard all morn-
ing, placing folding chairs for the
audience ln the center of the Hol-
low, tacking up scenery on the
wooden frames they had built for
the back of the stage and moving
chairs into the school basement for
the student participants to use
during times when they were off
stage. By 11:30 all was ready and
lunch hour was held. Students in
costumes and carrying properties
were seen gathering in the base-
ment. By 12:45 they were breath-
lessly waiting tor the performance
to begin. •
John Aylmer, custodian ot the
school, and Howard Broadbent,
director of Curriculum Testing and
Guidance, kindly took tickets at
the gates, with the assistance ot
Robert Perry and Edward Mc-
Manus, both ot Grade 5. The audi-
ence was a capacity one of about
120 adults and numerous children
under school age. The festival
started on the dot of 1 o'clock
with the first grade Rhythm Band
playing and singing and looking
very trim In crisp paper hats and
collars. They were given an en-
thusiastic ovation.
Then tip-toeing through the
woods came little elves in green
with quaint little pointed caps and
turned-up pointed shoes, little
brown ponies, the cobbler and his
wife , and other characters from
grades 2 and 3, who took part in
the delightful fantasy of "The Cob-
bler and the Elves." Their songs 1
were gay and clear and their move-
ments light and graceful, The out-
door setting added to the quaint-
ness of this imaginative operetta.
Following this fantasy, a more
realistic group of Indians prowled
through the woods ,sang Indian
songs and greeted the Pilgrim men
and women. Grades 3 and 4 had
developed three scenes from their
American History study. Pioneers
followed and the audience enjoyed
their songs and the dances of the
period.
With the completion ot the
American episode, we moved into
the International sphere through
the medium of the children of
grades 5 and 6. The boys were
sailors on a cruise around the
world, who were joined at each port
by groups of glrlB ln national
costumes.
In Ireland, the Rhythm Band,
now in green caps, played an IrlBh
song. Also the Irish lilt was danced
by girls of grades 5 and 6 and Irish
songs were sung. Dances and songs
from countries of Northern Europe
followed the Irish and then Span-
ish and Portugese- girls ln gay red
and black costumes danced and
sang. ,
Ronald Perry, playing "Over the
Waves", on his accordion was re-
ceived enthusiastically. The audi-
ence laughed loudly at a dance
done by the upper grade boys por-
traying the Initiation of a sailor,
as his ship passed the equator.
A stop at Rio gave chance for
South and Central American songs,
games and dances to be performed
with castanets and tambourines
sounding merrily. i
The last stop on the trip was
at Hawaii. Here girls in real grasB
skirts with gay flowers in their
hair, about their necks, and around
their bare ankles, gathered about
a camp tire to be seen joined by
sailors and girls from other lands.
To the accompaniment ot ukeleles,
several Hawaiian songs were sung.
As the Hawaiian group finished.
Miss Dorothy Barton, Supervisor
of Music, who had been accom-
panist throughout the Festival,
Played Yankee Doodle as the first
grade with new caps marched to
the front and sang and played. In
a long, quiet line tho rest of the
children marched Into orderly rows
—some carrying the flags of all the
countries of the United States.
The final e was the singing of the
United Nations Hymn by the en-
tire school body, after which the
children marched quietly away.
The audience was very delight-
ed with the discipline and coopera-
tion that the children showed and
claimed that \his unique outdoor
performance gave them one of tho
best afternoons of enjoyment that
they had known.
CRANBERRY TRAIN
Representing Centervllle on the
beautiful and very modern Cran-
berry Train, also at the preceding
banquet at the Parker House in
Boston, were our Editor, Miss Dor-
othy Worrell and the Secretary of
the Chamber of Commerce, Norman
Cook.

MYRNA LOT
100 YEARS AGO
Strange, Isn't It?—As long as a
man gets six dollars a week he can
live, and get along rather quietly
and contented, but as soon as his
wages reach twelve dollars a week
he'needs twenty-four—gets In debt,
and "busts up" at that. Man is a
high pressure engine, vanity Is the
steam, and money the fuel—apply
the principle, and you have the
facts. Make a note ou't.—Exchange.
Hard Times
Twenty years ago the market
price of . . . eggs was ten cents
per dozen. Farmers this year sell
them at twenty cents per dozen,
realizing a corresponding advance
in the price of other products, while
they buy everything they do not
produce thirty-three and one-third
per cent, below the prices of 1832,
Their farms (worth double the
price they gave for them) are mort-
gaged "up to the huh." They, of
course, join lustily in the cry of
hard times. . . .
"I'm blowed if I do," as the trum-
pet said when it was asked to give
a tune.
50 YEARS AGO
The Legislative Committee on
Ways and Means have reported the
. . . resolve tor the survey of the
Harbor and Land Commissioners of
the channel of Wltchmere harbor
in Harwich and the building ot jet-
ties , the cutting of a channel from
East Bay in Barnstable to Vineyard
Sound, the dredging of the Main
channel from Nantucket Sound to
Lewis Bay in Barnstable, uud
through Lewis Bay to the inner
harbor of Hyaanis.

Mrs. Falvey and Miss Prender-
gast came down last week. Mr.

Archie Lumbert caught the lar-
gest trout of the season, it weigh-
ing 3a ounces.
Mr. and Mrs. Parker Kingman

Mrs. Mary Scudder motored to

noon.
We are pleased to see Mrs.

regained their strength enough to
enable them to take short auto
