COMPETITION FOE THE MASTER?
Alfred Hitchcock's production "The Birds " may get com-
petition from Barnstable soon , for the community may shortly
be able to write a non-fiction best seller entitled "The Flies "
if the current situation continues. - ateono :
To be blunt about it, garbage and trash collection is |pos-
ing a problem of considerable concern in the Hyannis section.
Though not hot , the season has been a productive one <*~f
a fact the fly is not unaware of. Residents in certain , areas; of'.
Hyannis have not been completel y oblivious to the fact, either*
Soine 11 firms are listed in the newest telephone directory
as collectors of, refuse on Cape Cod. Four of these have Town
of Barnstable addresses ; two of the four accept residential
business ; the other two collect solely from institutions and
commercial establishments. Only one will accept new accounts.
You can "let your fingers do the walking " all right, but the
picture still is none too rosy when it comes to a service neces-
sary to most householders in Barnstable.
If memory serves, voters turned down municipal rubbish
collection several years ago. There are those who feel this
a mistake — a big one. A look at the sums spent annually by
any homeowner for private accommodation in this field might
well support this. Residential collections average from 75 cents
to $1.50 and up per week , whether made or not, Would collec-
tion by the town add more than that to the individual 's tax
bill ?
An added dividend in town pickup would be a lessening
of pressure at the town dump where litter is left here , there,
and yonder as conditions dictate. Trucks whose business it is
tm empty refuse in the proper area would be far easier to
control than a hit and run public whose only 1bought on ar-
ri ving at the disposal ground is out , out , out.
If municipal refuse collection is not included shortly in
the town budget , flies and all that they imply will be as
much of a menace as the birds dreamed up by the super horror
master Hitchcock. It is hoped that the next town meeting
warrant will find an article inserted by Mr. Macomber and his
board seeking such a service.

CENTERVILLE
ALL-STAR TEAM
WINS AND LOSES
Last Saturday. Barnstable Little
League All-Stars met Cohasset at
Plymouth. Mike Roberts pitched
a strong game, striking out nine
and being effective in the pinches.
Cohasset scored first when their
short-stop Bates hit a home run
in the second.
In the 4th Barnstable catcher,
Tim Prada , tied it with a homer.
In the 5th Stan Buckler opened up
with his second double of the
game ; Mike Roberts was hit by a
pitch, then Peter Bain singled,
sending Buckler home. Tim Prada
then singled home Roberts and
Bain to make it 4 to 1, the final
score.
It was a different, story on Mon-
day. The Barnstable boys met
Bridgewater who had a pitcher
named Dubee. This lad struck out
11 and just missed a no hitter. Tim
Frada's double to right, which
the Bridgewater right fielder kept
from going over the fence with
a wild leap that deflected it, was
the only Barnstable hit.
In fact, this was Barnstable's
only base runner as the Bridge-
water boy did not walk a man. It
was a nothing-nothing pitchers
duel through the 3rd. Then in the
4th , with one on base, the Bridge-
water left fielder , Ferbert, homer-
^ma^^^^m^™m»m^TO
ed. Bridgewater kept chipping
away and scored 2 in the 5th and
2 In the 6th to make the final
score 6 to 0.
Now all Barnstable interest will
be in who wins the second half in
the local league.
