We are glad to say that this editorial is being written , not
because there is an epidemic or even a single case of infantile
para lysis on Cape Cod. for to our knowledge there is not a trace
of the dread disease here ; but Cape Cod conducts annually a
vigorous March of Dimes campaign to assist in the medical fight
against the disease, and that means that our people are interested
to do their share in whatever can be done. Part of that is self-
interest, to be sure, for this trouble has at times struck and can
again strike in Cape Cod families. The interest is as well, how-
ever, one of sympathetic understanding toward those in other
parts of the country who become afflicted , and our usual spirit of
generosity is aroused.
"Twenty-Cent Pamphlet f so. 150" has been issued by the
Public Affairs Committee, Inc.. 22 East 38th Street, New York
16, New York , entitled "Polio Can Be Conquered" and written
by Alton Lee Blakeslee. for which the public may send. This
organization is non-profit and educational in its purpose of exist-
ence.
Mr. Blakeslee states that "the conquest of infantile paraly-
sis is now within sight ," and that "such striking progress has
been made in treatment during the past 10 years—."
It is not well to be thinking illness and disease. Neverthe-t
less, as realists, we know the world and its troubles and the cour-
ageous struggles against them, both by the victims and by those
in a position to render effective aid for the elimination of these
troubles. We would help such causes.

A Few Words About "Infantile"
Town of Barnstable
Cape Cod
July 7, 1949
Dear Theotlosia:
We have a new member of the
Hags and Bottles Club. It is a "he"
and lie is so tiny that he can't con-
tribute anything to the conversa-
tion , so I don't really think of him
as a Club member , although , of
course, he is. Anyway, we all love
him to death.
He's the six-months-old son of
Rebecca and John, and he's Heze-
kiah. We haven 't told him yet that
he belongs to our Club, but he
does.
Well , here it is summer again
and the crowd of vacationers is
pouring in the same as ever. It's
a nice feeling to know that we live
here and we don 't have to pull up
stakes at the end of the season and
move out. The other Beasons are
just as enjoyable , sometimes, I
think , more so. As a matter of
fact, they are all lour wonderful.
lt was quite hot here for a num-
ber of days a week or more ago,
and again this week, and I took u
swim in my beloved ocean. 1 expect
to take many more while the warm
weather is on.
Shall be pleased to see any of
you at uny time .
Your loving,
Aunt Jane.
A Letter From Aunt Jane
To Her City Relations
\ I I HI— -
Warning that the 1949 polio sea-
son is "just around the corner ," the
National Foundation for Infantile
Paralysis today issued a list of pre-
cautionary measures to be obsevved
by those in charge of children
during the epidemic danger period
which usually runs
from May through
October , reaching its
peak during the hot,
mid-summer months.
The five easy-to-fol-
low health rules for
children are:
1. Avoid crowds and
places where close
contact with other persons is likely.
2. Avoid over-fatigue caused by
too active play or exercise, or ir-
regular hours.
3. Avoid swimming in polluted
water. Use only beaches or public
pools declared safe by local health
authorities.
4. Avoid sudden chilling. Remove
«*et shoes and clothing at once and
k»ep extra blankets and heavier
dothing handy for sudden weather
changes.
5. Observe the golden rule of
personal cleanliness. Keep food
tightly covered and safe from flies
or other insects. Garbage should be
tightly covered and , if other dis-
posal facilities are lacking, it
should be buried or burned.
The National Foundation also
listed the following symptoms of
infantile paralysis: headache, nau-
sea or upset stomach, muscle sore-
ness or stiffness, and unexplained
fever. Should polio strike in your
family, call a doctor immediately.
Early diagnosis and prompt treat-
ment by qualified medical personnel
often prevent serious crippling, the
National Foundation pointed out.
The organization emphasized
that fear and anxiety should be
held to a minimum. A calm,.confi-
dent attitude is conducive to health
and recovery. Parents , it said ,
should remember that of all those
stricken , 50 per cent or more re-
cover completely, while another 25
per cent are left with only slight
after effects.
If polio is actually diagnosed
contact the chapter of the Nat;-.*
al Foundation for Infantile Para ! -
sis serving your community. Th«
chapter will pay that part of tbo
cost of care and treatment which
patient or family cannot meet.

Special Week
I At Cape Playhouse
The third bill at the Cape Play-
house, Dennis, beginning Monday,
July 11th , will be John Loder in
F. Hugh Herbert's delightful com-
edy, "For Love or Money," Richard
Aldrlch announces.
John Loder , making his second
appearance at the Playhouse, will
star in the role he created on Broad-
way two seasons ago. Last summer
Mr. Loder played opposite Gertrude
Lawrence in "Oh, Mistress Mine "
at the Playhouse, and this winter
he toured the country in the same
play with Sylvia Sydney. Well
known to movie audiences here
and in England, he has played in
scores of film successes, including
"One Night in Lisbon ," "How
Green Was My Valley," "Old Ac-
quaintance," "Dishonored Lady,"
and "Wife of Monte Cristo." John
Loder was brought to Hollywood
from his native London by Jesse
Lasky to appear in Paramount's
llrst all-talking picture, "The Doc-
tor 's Secret." Before he became
known as the suave hero, he had
lilt) distinction of appearing in the
Inst silent Western movie ever
made , in which he played a "two-
gun totln '" villain.
Whil eon the Coast, Mr. Loder
played many stage engagements
Including "The Silver Cord ," with
the late Laura Hope Crews, and
"Tonight at 8:30" with Greer Gar-
son. "For Love or Money " was an
instant success on Broadway and
established Mr. Loder as a stage
star of distinction.
This gay comedy of a famous
actor pursued by a worshipful
young lady—right into his own
home—is filled with mirthful situa-
tions. The determined young lady
Is being played by Betty Caulfleld,
talented younger sister of screen
star Joan Caulfleld. Fay McKenzle
will appear as the actress who
plans to marry Mr . Loder. Others !
in the cast include Dortha Duck-
worth , Hugh Rennie , Ronald Tel-
ler, all of the resident company;
|Scott Merrill and Doroth y Black-
t burn. The production is under the
I
direction of Arthur Slrcom , und
Eugene Fitsch designed the set-
ting.
"For Love or Money"
Next Playhouse Bill
by Clara J. HaUctt
This is your local station , 213 Ocean No K.
A (.'ape paper printed in 1927 says—"A resident of Oe,-
Street , Hyannis, lias been taking a census of this thorough^
—and goes on to say that "Ocean Street is in a class bv itanit
According to the score he or
she writes, "that of about 150
dwellers, there are 21 widows, five
widowers, 15 bachelors and 18 old
maids." The writer doubts if any
other street anywhere can show
such a proportion of folks living
in n state of more or less single
blessedness." I don't mean to dis-
pute this count , but I cannot re-
member anything like that score
of 1927. I can only count 15 or 16
widows now. I don't know what has
become of the others. Of course,
some of them have passed away,
but others have been added to take
their places.
Five widows are mentioned—
well , the widows have certainly
increased. I can count 10 or 11.
There never were 15 bachelors or
18 old maids unless school boyB
and girls were included. Of course
nowadays they call young fellows
who have been in the war "Veter-
ans." We used to think a veteran
was a very old man. I can only
count 4 or 5 bachelors now and
maybe half a dozen maiden ladies.
By the way, If a woman is divorced
is she a single woman or a widow?
She Is not a Miss, but she has lost
her husband , so why not a widow?
A widow is supposed to be a
woman who has been married and
lost her husband; what difference
does it make how Bhe lost him ?
The same goes for a man , under
the same circumstances. You can-
not call him a bachelor . Is he a
|widower?
In spite of this large group of
! seemingly unattache* people
|Ocean Street is one of the nicest
I streets to live on. It is not as quiet
and restful as it used to be in by-
gone years. At certain seasons of
the year, it is full of bustle and
life , especially around the water-
front. It used to be a purely resi-
dential section ; when we went up
to Main Street we felt it was an
altogether different place—like a
trip to the city and when we came
home we were In the country
again.
Well , it's like a small city up
town now, but it's not such a
change as it used to be when you
came home. There are very few
quiet places left now , even the
cemeteries and graveyards, the so-
called silent homes of the dead ,
are no longer neglected and quiet.
You will alwys And cars there and
people working; people bringing
flowers and looking after the fam-
ily lots or even a burial service
taking place.
The Oak Grove cemetery has
been improved greatly in the lasti
ten years. It began in a very small
way—just a few lots. Stock was
issued about 18G8 and gradually it
has expanded under several presi-
dents and committees until now it
1B a place well cared for. The com-
mittees deserve great praise as
they have had very little ready
money to depend on. Dr. Charles
E .Harris was one of the men who
took a deep interest in this partic-
ular cemetery after the older men
who had started it had passed
away. Now Charles Megathlln ,
the president , and Miss Eloise
Crocker, the treasurer, with other
helpers are certainly taking a gen-
uine interest in the work. Mr. Me-
gathlln is ever willing and ready
to be consulted and carry on his
part of the work and future ex-
pansion ofthe cemetery as it is
needed , and no other treasurer they
have ever can get will be as faith-
ful and do all the extra outside
work that Miss Crocker is always
doing.
Business of some kind seems
bound to creep up Into every street
and wood lot. Ocean Street has not
escaped. Some years ago I believe
it was in 1932, the bay on the east
side of the street was partly filled
In. The bay was dredged out and
the meadow next to my house was
also filled m with mud and «j
and water—much water ; the t
cranberry bogs at the back we
covered also. All vegetation seem!
looking waste. I ought to kii(„
for my back yard waB filled »|i
salt water and I lost all my ahrnb
on the north side of my house
always thought the town S!Ull]](
have reimbursed me for dn\Wm \
for after all my property *„„,
'
,'
not have been ruined if the tow
had not allowed a big pipe to i,
put across the road to carry sand
mud and water to All In the lot JJ
bogs next to my land.
I didn 't ask to be filled in as thei
did, so why should my properl
suffer for other people? It's a W(,
der I have anything left of tree
shrubs and flowerB, after rnakln
the bulkhead and going throng
the hurricane of 1944. It's the j
ttle foxes that spoil the vinei'
so they say, but I don't see wli
big ones couldn't do more damagt
If little trials help to develop one,
character, I ought to be quite vn
developed.
Well, we now have a small pan
where the shore used to be, alt.
planting it with trees and flows
to make it beautiful, it is in dangti
of becoming just a parking place
It now has both ends playini
ogoinst the middle and when any
thing is once macadamized it novel
becomes very beautifu l again
Sometimes' lt seems to me if tin
whole world could be macadamize
and put on wheels It would seen
to suit some people. I may changi
my mind after a while and no
think Ocean Street Is such a nici
place to live on after all.
Down at the old Fish Hills there
is quite a settlement being inilV
for slimmer use and some familta
live there all the year around
When I was young there was i
brick yard there, I remember i
well. The transportation problen
was one reason why it was die
continued. Mr. Edward Smith liai
a boat house built near the sliori
and several people took squat ten
rights there and built fish shantle
around the shore.
Mr. Arthur Guyer, Mr. Eilwari
Chase and two or three othen
built some boat houses not fai
from the street that were used foi
some time. This land has change!
hands several times. Finally whci
a land' company headed by M
Hunt bought it, the buildings wei
ordered off with the exception i
Mr, Smith's,—he had bought Inn
there which I think is still It
possession of the Smith family
Lots were sold, roads laid out ant
one after another people have beer
building there ever since.
Much has been written about tlie
skeletons found there lately. 01
course it was one an Indian en
campment. lt is no longer a place
where we natives feel free to wan
der around, as if it belonged to us
as in other years. It is a closed
chapter in our lives; like iti
houses—we could always enter M
any time and be sure of a :\M
come; now they are either gofl
altogether or strangers live in )ifl
and we pass them by someiifl
with a sigh of regret for the f
l
and friends who are no longer ; H
When you can't see the water '
' ¦
automobiles and bathhouses a«
high fences, just a peak hole a^B
here and there, It takes away a lo> l
of the joy of living. I sometimes 1
feel thankfu l that summer doesn't !
last all winter. There comes n time ¦
when you can cool your general I
system without jumping in Hie
ocean. Other changes may he seen
on Ocean Street and all over the
village, but we will now turn off
the Beams.
