STRAWBERRY FESTIVAL
GREAT SUCCESS
A Strawberry Festival followed
by an auction sale was held by the
Ladies' Guild at the West Barn-
stable Congregational Church last
Friday evening, Over 100 people
attended and many were the ex-
clamations like "The best straw-
berry shortcake I ever ate"—"Deli-
clous" and "Out of this world."
Guests were allowed to serve them-
selves with big ladles of strawber-
ries and whipped cream on hoi but-
tered shortcake and the coffee was
kept steaming hot in large electric
coffee makers, The tables were
very prettily decorated with fancy
linen cloths and duisy centerpieces.
Mrs. Norman Everett was chair-
man, and upon being complimented
on the line job she did , replied , "I
had a wonderful committee and
they cooperated in every way."
LOVELY WEDDING
Amid a setting of beautiful while
gladiolas, the First Baptist Church

noon , of a very pretty wedding.

by her father. The Rev. E. Gage
Hotaling performed the double

j satin with sweetheart neckline and
pearls, and her lingertip veil was
caught with orange blossoms. She
carried a bouquet of white roses,
sweet peas and lilies of the valley.

of marquisette and carried a mixed
bouquet to match. Miss Elsie Smith
of Hyannis was maid of honor and
wore yellow marquisette and car-
ried yellow roses. Caroline Cahen
from Harwich , cousin of the bride

BIRTHS I
Town of Barnstable
Cape Cod
June 23, 1949
Dear Theodosla:
As you know, I am a great be-
liever in family gatherings , and a
picnic is no exception. But there
are picnics and picnics. There's
the beach variety, where you stand
around munching hot dogs and
drinking coffee, all the while whif-
fing the salt air and watching the
changing ocean , which usually
makes you chilly and pushes you
nearer the nice, warm bonfire of
driftwood , where your coffee got
steaming hot and over which
you've cooked your hot dog on the
end of a stick.
Then there's the automobile pic-
nic, when a group has driven off
somewhere and , after finding a
suitable spot, settles down with
sandwich-laden basket and ther-
mos jug of delicious drink, hot or
cold , according to weather and
taste of picnickers.
Or there's the Impromptu picnic
out in the grove or on the pond
shore, hard by the house, when by
spontaneous anil simultaneous
thought the family "gets up" a pic-
nic lunch or supper.
But the variety of picnic I at-
tended last night was something
new to me. I've been to many a
lawn party, and swell suppers
served at long tables set in lus-
cious garden surroundings , straw-
berry festivals and out-door recep-
tions. Last night, however, I was
bid to a picnic , which transformed
itself into a delightful outdoor
supper party. That long white table
cloth, sparkling silver, and vase of
flowers, was a sight for the eyes
on entering Nature 's dining-hall ;
and when the food was brought in,
it was a whet for the appetite, Its
fragrance pleasing to the nostrils.
Many of the relatives were
present. There were Cousin Jeru-
sha and Rebecca and John, to say
nothing of your Great Aunt Su-
sanna, bustling around seeing to
her guests.
All had a good time, you may
be sure of that.
Your loving
Aunt Jane
A Letter From Aunt Jane
To Her City Relations
... for of Such is the Kingdom of Heaven
Through this month on various Sundays many of our local
churches and. indeed, those over the country have been observ-
ing Children 's Day,—a Sunday set apart and devoted to the re-
ligious interests of the children. In many cases, the church
school takes complete charge of the church worship service. At
any rate, the pupils show the work in which the Sunday School
has been engaged throughout the year. Babies come in the arms
of their parents and are presented for baptism. Many churches
have the fitting custom of giving a Bible, suitably inscribed , to
every child of the church who has attained the age of seven.
Yes, such a day is the Children 's Sunday.
Religious leaders know how important a factor in character
formation is early religious training. Before the child' s under-
standing penetrates very deeply, he can hear the beautifu l, old
Bible stories, and even learn to lisp some of the names. The
grooves of habit are being made into which religious acts and
feelings will slip easily, when sufficient years are added to his
life and those things taught early become an integral part of the
maturing process.
There is a National Sunday School Week, sponsored by the
Laymen's National Committee , an organization which is non-
sectarian and non-profit , and which was created to bring about
a better understanding of the important part religion has played
in creating and maintaining our government. This committee
stresses also the function of the parents and the home as the
source of religious training of children ,—a function which can-
not and should not be delegated to any other agency.
Early Sunday School training forms a bed-rock of char-
acter upon which in later life to withstand the onslaughts of out-
rageous doctrines.
Daily Vacation Bible Schools are conducted in many church
communities for a part of the summer, and Cape Cod carries on
in this respect, too.
This summer an interesting program is being arranged in
two villages, jointly, of this town. Osterville and Centerville are
to hold a Demonstration School, details of which will be found
in a separate article under that title. Demonstration schools are
not new, but the idea of using demonstration schools in local
churches to teach leadership education in religion is new. There
is such a school used for this purpose in Minnesota, we are told.
This Ostervule-Centc-ville school will be in lieu of a Daily
Vacation Bible School, such as was sponsored last summer, It is
an interesting experiment, so far as the Cape is concerned, and
will be watched.
These morning classes will be a good place for the children
to be,—another block in the building of a staunch bulwark.

Notes 5 Cape Places by Clara J. Hallctt
This is your local station 213 Ocean No K.
So, Mr. Carter has a double or would I say he is a douliloi
Is that good ? Is it a nlpusant experience for the two lheJ
Twins , or course , come double , but 1hat doesn 't mean they ar<
just , alike. We Iinve been used to the idea that in creation w
had only one of n kind ; no two people had exactly the sum
fingerprints, etc—lias Unit become n snare and delusion ''
This Barry Fitzgerald and Mr.
Carter may look alike in the face,
but I gueBs that will be as far as
it goes, their voice and personal-
ity will be different , 1 feel sure.
If their minds run along the same
track and they are Interested in
the same things or vice versa, a
lot of complications might arise.
1 wouldn 't care to e a, double or do
have one. If we begin'with doubles
ive may keep on until It's double'
or nothing and we all get to look
alike. We may not like the sample.
Families would then be disorgan-
ized , husbands, wives and children
would get all mixed up. Another
cause for divorce would be found
besides cruelty and abusive treat-
ment and lncompatabllity—these
reasons are worn threadbare.
Laws are always being repealed
or amended .The lines ln the mar-
riage service, "Until death us do
part" should read—Until death or
divorce doth us part—or something
like that. It's a crime to swear
falsely to almost anything in court ,
so why should two people take a
false oath at the very beginning
of their union.
Looking over some old paperB
—last year's—I saw an article
about woodtlcks. They were to be
sprayed out of existence; no ticks
next year. What a blessing, but
evidently they thrive on sprays or
else they take a bath so often It
has no effect. Nothing short of
boiling water will penetrate their
tough hides. It resembles what we
sometimes call horseshoe crabs.
I must say all you see ln print is
not true. I have already slaughter-
ed 11 ticks found In my own yard.
I say found—but they found me.
The last one took its revenge. I
don't know how many feet a wood-
tick has, but this one was feasting
on my shoulder almost out of
, reach, it had to be removed forci-
bly and it proved to be a regular
Shylock. It didn't take Its pound
of flesh , but it took all its feet
would hold.
Ticks are always looking for
blood transfusions, they care not
for the type. It's too bad they never
get arthritis In their frisky legs,
travelling everywhere in all kinds
of weather, devouring whatever
they like, making bubble gum-like
sacks on dogs, catB, and human
beings—they are pests. Sometimes
it' seems as if animals and even
insects have more sense ln their
lives than we do. We suffer from
all kinds of afflictions, where even
the lowly worm escapes. • |
We seldom hear anything about |
Mr. Dooley now ,but some of his
advice and quaint sayings are as
good today as when they came to
us fresh off the press. Take this
one—Says he, "Whin a man has
samething to say, an' don't know
how to say it—he says It pretty
well; whin he has something to
say, an' know how to say it, he
makes a great speech; but when he
nawthing to say and has a lot of
worruds, that come with a black
coat, he's an orator." We sure have
one quota of orators at the present
time, much talk about everything
in the world, "worruds, worruds"
that bewilders us who are not In
the way ot getting knowledge first-
hand.
The little man at home some-
times wonders if he is a commun-
ist, a democrat or just a mis-
placed person. He can be proved
to be anything or nothing. Every-
body seems to be on trial with
juries disagreeing and the public
against everything. What a day
and what a great word Day Is;
only three letters, but it takes In
all the variety of and experiences
of life and death. Mother has had
her day ; Father has has hiB day ;
all sorts of things have been be-
stowed on them , things that be-
long In the too numerous to men-
tion class, but there would bo • I
usual gilts of flowers, curdiB
candy, new clothes, socks, si|9
