patronage Is The Answer"
A gentleman of our acquaintance came to the Cape last
turday from the State of Maine. Without planning to do so, he
ded ^e "Sand Dune," which was making its maiden run.
Kon arrival he told his sister and others what a wonderful trip
|
had down from Boston. The train made such good time, the
Lg was so smooth and so comfortable, that it all contributed
make a most pleasant journey.
Yes, the Sand Dune has joined the Cranberry and, under
s pleasing and happy choice of names, these two trains will
tvel back and forth throughout the busy summer season cater-
i to our needs and those of our visitors. The Cranberry leaves
linnisdaily (except Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays) in the
riy morning for Boston, returning from Boston in the late
iernoon. It omits the stop at Barnstable and is express between
areham and Boston. It makes the run in about 2 hours. The
y Dune leaves Boston on Saturdays only at 12:25 p.m., is
tress to Wareham, and omits the stop at Barnstable. Its run-
h time is about 2 hours. It returns from Hyannis in the eve-
tig on Sundays only.
Summer-time business ties most Cape Codders fairly closely
home, so that they do not normally trip it to Boston as often
they do in the winter. Since this is so, we shall have to rely
gely on the summer folks to make full use of our good train
vice, and we hope they will.
The extent, however, to which we do use it this summer
1 make the service so satisfying to us that we certainly shall
t want it taken away from us in the fall. We shall want it con-
ned throughout the year.
.4 bill is before the legislature for purchase of the South Sta-
/!property. Several conditions are attached to such proposed
irchase, one of which is the requirement of adequate passenger
lii service. But "adequate" will be judged by the needs of the
asportation district, and the meaning of "adequacy" will rise
fall as measured by the use the people make of the trains
die we havethem. The passage, therefore, of this purchase bill
\place more than ever upon us the responsibility of being the
terminaatin the amount and quality of the service that will
itinue to be supplied to us.

In its treatment of the function of rail transportation, the
iipany is but following Nature's ways. Atrophy would quickly
im an arm or a leg that the body ceased to use; and we must
it keep in mind that our supply of rail transportation service
1stay with us, in readiness at all times to perform its function,
ILY as we use it. In the last analysis, "Patronage is the
5wer."
