COTUIT NEWS A LESSON IN HISTORY There is. apparentl y, no stay ol! execution J'or Barnstable Inn , built in 170!) and serving the public continuously since 1hat dat'6; It is Hit' oldest inn on Cape Cod that can make that boast. Yet it is to go, torn asunder by the wrecker 's ball. The structure lias deteriorated lo the point that it is con- sidered unsalvagable, and thus a page in Barnstable 's history is reluctantly expunged. Various owners have taken their turn at innkeeping at the ancient sta^e coach stop over the years. Some have been rela- tively successful. Others have bad no luck, whatsoever. It. is incredible, however, to think that none went f u r t h e r below the surface of upkeep t h a n mere painting during an almost two-century span. Sadly, the verdict has been handed down now. Barnstable Inn , an integral part of Main Street in Barnstable Village , must be razed to be replaced by an oyster house and office build- ings. The deatli knell sounded for this bit of our town 's heritage should serve as a clarion call to historical societies and others who would preserve pertinent artifacts of the Cape 's past that future generations might have a tangible lesson in history . A venerable landmark froes. A lesson in history is gone. Forever. Will it finally come to the point where there is only the present and nothing remains to remind one of Barnstable 's -'550 years of life ? In one of the oldest parts of the United States , that would be a crime. SdltoziaC Following the sale of the Ocean Street Gallery to the Cape Cod Standard Times last December, Cape Cod Art Association voted to open its summer gallery at Ba- con Farm Barn on route 6A in Barnstable.

Cape Art Association Opened At Bacon Farm Barn Location Selectman Martin Hoxie inform- ed the Conservation Commission this week that Miriam Blair of Hyannis has been assigned the po- sition of title searcher on the West Barnstable conservation tract. Mrs. Blair replaces Attorney Russell Chapin who died late in 1969. If highway trees to the town are to be saved , the tree warden and all interested parties should make sure that utility companies are more careful when working around root systems. Willy- nilly treat - ment will mean an awful lot of dead trees in short order and mean hotter streets with more pollution.. Hyannis Road , for one. Conservation Officer Ty Ranta and his wife spent yesterday after- noon with their son Bobby, still hospitalized in the Bartlett Unit, Peter Bent Brigham Hospital In Boston for burns suffered last month. It was young Ranta 's 27th birthday, and wife Helen had visit- ed with him the evening before. He is reported to be gaining. , . Second highest stogie day dona; tion of blood was reported by trie Cape Cod Bloodmoblle Monday when 229 pints were given at Cape Cod Mail to jjless than six hours. Some \ $ Registered during the visit, with 98 walk-Ins and 39 re- jections, some due to lack of the required 110 pounds. Hope the ' Red Cross will consider a half - pint program someday, with blood needed as it is. We are told by Town Counsel Robert E. O'Neil that land given for conservation purposes may not be diverted to other purposes Land purchased , unless restricted by deed, could be, if the need a- -•ose. Robbing Peter to pay Paul , so to speak. British Columbia , Canada 's most western province, has a manda- tory two cents refund on returned containers beginning on Jan . 1971. During a three- month period , 8, 000 litter- conscious citizens of Salmon Arm on Lake Suswap, published anti- litter advertise - ments and articles , successfully opposed the glass industry, refus- ed to sell non- returnables and thereby aroused the provincial government to ban non- return- ables to a Litter Act. TOWN TOPICS "No seme in going up- H! H-"M tiignalling she isn't in- teretried." My Neighbors MISS LINDA BORG Correspondent Osterville 02655 Tel. 428-6223 HISTORICAL SOCIETY MUSEUM OPENS SUNDAY Sunday, June 27 marks the open- ing of the 39th season of Osterville Historical Society's museum. The doors will be open to the public from 3 to 5 p.m., and during the same hours on every Thursday and " Sunday, following until the last Sunday in September. The Museum continues its pol- icy of free admission and Mrs. Robert J. Greenwood' s hostesses will be prepared to help visitors enjoy everything in the many rooms. Mrs. David Cole, the mu- seum curator , will be on hand throughout the afternoon. Mrs. Wilfred Godfrey is chair- man of the committee arranging for refreshments to be served dur- ing the afternoon. Assisting her are Mesdames Leslie Read and Frederic Vroom. One of the highlights of the day will be the display of a newly ac- quired collection of pitchers and the handsome cabinet in which they are arranged for exhibit. Do- nor of the collection , Mrs. Ethel Roulston of Milton , has been ex- tended an invitation to attend the tea. Also added to the museum 's col- lections is Miss Catherine Hans- berry 's donation of a spinning wheel and a mannequin, indispen- sable for displaying the museum's fine array of costumes. Bequeathed from the estate of Philip Chadwick are a very fine ship's clock and a marine paint- ing. One may sit in a Windsor arm chair and peruse a bible used by the Reverend Oscar Johnson when he was pastor of the Oster- ville Methodist Church in the 18- 90's. Aside from the rooms filled with excellent examples of period fur- niture and objets d'arts of endless variety, visitors will find countless rry^^/V'HWV"--.jv'—-" » "-""Wl/ qwiv mementoes of Osterville life of yesteryear. It is hoped that many of the lo- cal residents will share some of their own tangible past by pre- senting their guarded heirlooms to the museum so they may be shared with others. The Marine Room is interesting for obvious reasons - one being the marvelous ship models. In an- other room is a collection of snuff boxes not too far from some color- ful paper weights. Those who wish to arrange spe- cial visits during times other than the museum's regular hours may contact Mrs. Ronald Chesbro, pre- sident; Mrs. Cole, the curator or Mrs. Howard West.

I Do, I Do;' " M Tent by Dana Hornig Making East End Scents Have you noticed how the east end of Hyannis has in the past year or so become one of the real garden spots on Cape Cod? Now I'm not refering to the two new most obvious eye brighten- ers, the reshingled Graymore Club and the big-city facsimile Ply - mouth- Brockton bus terminal , each itself a little flower to be sure. I'm speaking of that sense of garden you get if you work in or walk in this end of town; that sti- mulated sense of smell; that Colo- nial Candle factory olfactory opu- lence which has, recently, been delicately scenting the whole Hy- annis east end. Not every day, to be fair. The prevailing sou' westerlies, when they prevail , dillute the air with sea odors and most days the east end smells approximately the same as the west end. But on the still days, and , though I lack a cause and effect, It seems the sunny days, standing on Plea- sant Street is increasingly a plea- santly aromatic experience . It comes, of course, from the perfumes Colonial uses to manu- facture its "scented" lines, most- ly pillars in style. And it comes about because scented candles are the big thing at the moment. The volume of scented candles now made at Colonial's Hyannis plant is about five times higher than a few years ago. Candles with smells now account for some- thing like 50 percent of the com- pany 's production. The number of odors offered has increased from six to 30 in the last three years. Important too is the demand the public is making for specific fra- grances. Ten years ago pine , bay- berry and spice were just about all candles were offering noses. In the business these are known as "subtle" scents. They don't have an especially good carrying capability . Today buyers demand and buy- ers are getting sweet , fruity scents. Cranberry, strawberry, blue berry, honeydew, french vanilla, orange sherbert, high potency fragrances. Also called volatile fragrances, which means they vaporize and float around real well. Few persons seem to object to the odors. Manager of the Coun- try Squire Motel , a factory abut- ter , claims his guests, generally, iavor the sweetened atmosphere. Cape Cod Chamber oi Commer- ce take note : Isn't this just ano- ther example of The Wonderful Way of Life you've been telling us about?
