THESE WOMEN ! By d'Alessio
"Why, Mr. and Mr.. Merlin—com* right in! I hop* you'll

Labor Day A Turning Point
The climax of the summer vacation period is at hand, as
Labor Day and its accompany ing weekend draw near.
After that, the crowd of summer visitors will begin to lessen
day by day, but in numbers they will be at their peak on this
weekend.
Each holiday means many things to many persons, though
each has an inner significance of its own.
Labor Day should mean a tribute to the dignity of labor
and in its connection we should be thinking of craftsmanship,
skill, and earning one's bread by the sweat of the brow, toiling
through the working hours with cheerful heart and willing hand,
taking pride in one's product and achievement.
instead, it seems today that the term "labor" brings to
mind strikes, wage demands, and all manner of difficulties be-
tween employers and employees.
To many,Labor Day means the end of the summer vacation.
On Cape Cod it certainly means a thinning out of the crowds.
Some are just starting their vacations by Labor Day. and not a
few extend their stays through our beautiful autumn and Indian
Summer. By and large, however,.Labor Day marks the turning
point between summer and fall.
That being so, there are two things about which we are
cautioned during this particular weekend. One is "not to forsake
vacation pets."
The Animal Rescue League of Boston (with Cape Cod
Branch in Harwichport) urges in its annual message on this
subject the safe keeping of pets by summer people, when they
are getting ready to leave for winter homes.
"Pets deserted at beaches and summer resorts suffer greatly
as they are not prepared to fend for themselves. If any animal
cannot be taken back to the city, then proper provision for his
disposition should be made. Whatever happens, a pet should not
be deserted or turned out to take care of himself. He should either
be left in reliable hands or taken to an Animal Rescue League or
an S.P.C.A. agent, where he will be placed in a new home or
humanely put away."
The American Heritage Foundation in New York, in under-
taking to revitalize the celebration of our major holidays, says
these holidays, which include Labor Day, should "be regarded
as rallying points for developing a better appreciation of our
American heritage and for raising the level of active, personal
citizenship." It believes in stressing the significance of each holi-
day, using to the full "its possibilities as a vehicle for building
better citizenship." In its program it emphasizes nine duties of
a good ctizen : Voting at all elections; serving on juries; obeying
the laws; paying taxes understandingly; working for peace, but
accepting all duties in war; avoiding group prejudices ; working
for better schools; working for a better community ; being a good
citizen at home.
Lastly, our registrar of motor vehicles and our governor
point out the safety demands of the Labor Day Holiday week-
end , urging extreme care on the highways. We would add a brief
note on care in and on the water , in the air , in all sports, recrea-
tion, and travel concerned with Labor Day.

Dear Theodosia :
Everyone seems to relish Jokes
about Cape Codders. I wonder why
that is so?
Maybe it Is because it is a trait
ot Cape Codders to use native com-
mon sense that may differ from the
stereotyped treatment ot a given
situation. And in the old days
there was now and then a city
slicker, so called , who thought he
was smart and could easily out-do
any Cape Codder, whose smartness,
perhaps, didn't show on the sur-
face , at first sight.
Many time-worn jokes have been
current, and those who read Sep-
tember "Holiday " will chuckle
over several in that article about
Cape Cod.
Even today we have some of
these "characters," as they call
them. I can tell you of one, a
friend of mine, who operates a fill-
ing station. One year when the
season wore on toward Labor Day,
he remarked to a fellow-townsman
that he badly needed a shave, but
that he couldn 't have one until af-
ter Labor Day. When asked "Why
not?" and "Was he too busy," he
said, "No, but the summer people
expect me to look and act like their
conception of a 'native,' and I aim
to please 'em."
Your loving
Aunt Jane.

As St. John the Aged
.by Clara J. Hallett
This is your local Rtation, 213 Ocean St, No K.
Two Cape Cod boys of somo years afro havo culled oi
recently, Frank Hinckley, son of Marshall Hinckley, who li^
in tho house on Ocean Stre et, owned now by the Rodericks nl *
to what was Wason 's Store. The land the store sets mi «-,'
.' };
to Hull and Burt by Mr. Marshall
Hinckley for a grain store first. He
is the only son living now. He has
n summer home in Barnstable and
a winter home in Florida. It is pleas-
ant to meet some of our native-born
boys and girls,
Another was William D. Crowell ,
son,of Willis Crowell , M. D., who
would now be called one of the old
physicians , having practiced here
over 50 years ago. They lived at
one time in a house at the corner
of Main and Ocean Streets that once
belonged to Captain Allen Bragg.
Later the house was moved to what
is now Bond Court and made into
a big two-apartment dwelling, The
Crowells also lived in the house
last owned by Franklin Crocker |
that was moved to Rldgewood. That j
house at the time belonged to Hor-
ace Lorlng. Later they moved to
the old homestead on Ocean Street
nxt to my house, where the boys
spent most of their childhood. Mr.
William Crowell and his wife and
two children come to Hyannis al-
most every summer now In their
yacht, They live in St. Louis. He is
an architect of unusual talent and
Is a member of the firm ot Mauran,
Russell , Crowell and Mullsarut. His
grandmother and my grandmother
were sisters. Anyone born on Cape
Cod who lived here for any length
of time can never get it out ot
their blood.
Another young man who called
with his wife and young daughter
was the great grandson of Capt.
Allen Bearse, who owned and lived
in the house on Camp Street now
owned by Wesley Coleman. He was
not born In Hyannis but his grand-
father, Frank Bearse, and his
grandmother, Mary Louise Hallett,
were natives and of course all his
relatives on the Bearse side of the
family. He wanted to know all I
could tell him about his relatives
and some of the houses where they
had lived. He took pictures etc,
and he and his wife are much inter-
ested in Cape Cod. They now live
in Vermont, having brought an old
house there which they are taking
joy in restoring. I always like to
share the feeling of love and Inter-
est that people feel for the land
of their ancestors.
I was surprised to read in the
Patriot part of my article about
Physicians of Yesterday that I
wrote for the paper at the time of
our Tercentenary Celebration. Well
some changes have taken place
even since that time. All the doc-
tors are new to me now since Dr.
Harris has gone. He is greatly
missed by a large circle of patients
and friends.
Is it a sign of much sickness or
of good health when there are a
large number of doctors located In
any vicinity ?
A man told over the radio recent-
ly that on a recent trip to England
he had free medical treatment that
would have cost him seven or eight
hundred dollars in America. Is that
where our money goes—making
wigs for bald-headed men and pay-
ing doctor's bills. I thought it was
to restore the economic life of that
country. We are getting cheated all
the time.
If a man buys some liquor out
of the state and brings it home,
now they nab him before he has a
drink of it—just to get that tax,
They don't care if the fellow gets
drunk or what happens—just let
them grab that tax. Turning out a
lot of men who have federal jobs
in this country making unemploy-
ment and bringing in thousands of
displaced persons from other coun-
tries who must either be supported
or take over some job that Ameri-
cans ought to have. All we seem
good for Is to tax and rob.
The Billion Dollar Question in
the Saturday Evening Post is an
eye opener. Cartoon: Man loaded
with a back breaking loud ot ! '
dies marked "Taxes." Unseen t.,.
they are. His legs are bent ,„',
the burden until they nre „
half as long as they ought t0T
Here comes the question • ¦•» ,
Mummy, how did he get all t "'
on his back in the first Dw,
How, indeed. No use to 0pen i
bundles to examine the co1Uel11 ,
it would be like the five pev
' "
„'
and all the other Investigation, 1
slicked over. ' an
We need somebody honest enotitt,
to Investigate the investigator.
When a big armored truck carrying
$40,000 can be stolen and lost sight
of as If it were a wheelbarrow „¦!
no wonder secrets on paper can bo
stolen easily enough.
If anybody knows where we »«.
bound we would be glad to hear lor
we certainly are sailing und
sealed orders now . . . orders that
we do not have much confidence in
but the great gamble goes on. Fim
rob Peter to pay Paul, then rob
Paul to pay Peter. Robbers often
come to 'some bad end.
Everyone in Barnstable must be
pleased that Thomas G. Hinckley
son of Mr. and Mrs. F. Howard
Hinckley, had the wonderful op-
portunity not only to be chosen to
go to England to row with the
Tabor crew at Henley on the
Thamas River, but could see so
much of England and because of
letters written by his father could
visit Barnstaple und ex-Mayor Dart
and Mrs. Dart, who hy their visit
at our Tercentenary celebration
not only added historical value to
the occasion but made a stronger
bond between us. That will he a
bright spot in his life to look hack
on In years to come. Not every
young fellow will have a chance
like that. It wasn't all luck, ot
course—he must have worked hard
to be worthy ot it. And his visit
will be one more event to bind the
Barnstables together in remem-
brance.
I read in the Patriot a Peddlers'
Parade was to take place in Or-
leans. We had one of the lirst Ped- 1
dlers' Parades ever given on the
Cape in Hyannis many years ago.
Mrs. Josephine Wilcox arranged It.
It took place in the old Masonic
Hall and was a grand affair, and
very funny. It was for a church ben-
efit. Mrs, Wilcox was exceedingly
Interested In the Universalis!
Church and worked constantly tor
its welfare. I told fortunes—1 imai
to do that for benefits. Everyone
liked to see what the cards would
tell. There is always a dark man
and a blond lady in the picture, a
letter, a package, good news or
trouble coming to the home, a jour-
ney, a wedding, a death, and your
wish, and in the end—what you do
expect, what you don't expect-li
sure to come true. People can get
fun out of a lot of silly things 11
they are with the right friends,
•
A true man never frets about IIIB
place in the world, but just isUdes
into it by the gravitation of his
nature, and swings there as easily
as a star.—E. H. Chapin.

The second season for the Great
Books program of Greater Boston ,
with headquarters at the Boston
Public Library, will start Tuesday,
September 13, with a course to
train new leaders for first year
groups. This course will consist of
nine two-hour evening seminars and
will be held in the library of the
Boston Institute , 15 Commonwealth
Avenue , Boston, from 7:30 to 9:30
p.m.
Since the Inception of the popu-
lar Great Books program In the
Greater Boston area, approximately
50 groups have completed the first-
year course. Most of these groups,
which have met In libraries ,
schools, churches, plants , business
institutions and community cen-
ters, plan to continue with the
second-year course this fall. These
people have found that reading and
discussing great hooks broadened
their horizons by sharpening their
understanding of Important issues,
developing their thinking and their
speaking ability and bringing fresh
and original points of view out into
the open . These groups are made
up of people In all walks of lire and
from all backgrounds—they» nre
professional , business- and working
people of all kinds who meet on
common ground in good-natured
and friendly discussion. As the
uresident of a large corporation
has said , "Combine the Btlmulus or
growth through the training of the
mind with the fun and camaraderie
of 'the discussion and you may un-
derstand some of the charms of the
Great Books Course."
Organizations which would like
to sponsor Great Books Discus-
sion groups, and individuals inter-
ested in starting groups In their
community, are invited to call or
write to Miss Dorothea Davis, Field
Representative of the Great Books
Committee, at the Boston Public
Library.
True zeal is a strong, steady,
uniform, benevolent affection ; but
false seal la a strong, desultory,
boisteroua, selfish passion.—Sal-
mons.

For Local Leaders A pair of bright eyes saw a
Paris, France, number plate on a
car on Main Street, Hyannis, one
day early this week.
It was a Renault car, a French
model.
Has anyone been keeping tabs
on (he out-of-state number plates
this summer? Last year we pub-
lished the record of them and, be-
fore the summer was over, It in-
cluded every state in the Union
and one or two outside the Union,
though on thiB continent. Finding
a car from across the water makes
a new record.

ceived this week by Cape families

of the Scout campaign Sept. 10 to
20, Barnstable County Cherlff Don-
ald P. Tulloch , general chairman ,

chure 1s "Help Scouting Today-
Keep the American Way. "

ing the goal of $l« ,u00 budgeted for
1950 Scout expenses, urging fund
contributions und showing by per-
centages the breakdown ot the
Scouting dollar for the 1950 budget.
The slogan "Help Scouting To-
day—Keep the American Way" was
chosen by Scout officials because
it strikes one of the keynotes of
Scouting—the part the Scout pro-
gram plays in the world of tomor-
row.
"The future lies with the men
of the next generation and those
men of tomorrow are the youths of
today," Mr, Tulloch said, "and that
la where our Scout drive comes in."
Donations by Cape citizens are an
investment in the future, he as-
serted.

Annual Scout Drive
Paul Gerrard Jackson, Bible-Lec-
turer and Impersonator, is present-
ing his program of Gospel Life Por-
traits at the Osterville Baptist
Church evenings starting tonight at
8 o'clock. At each service Mr.
Jackson selects a Biblical or his-
torical character, and by IUB pow-
ers of personation, makes this
character "come to life." On suc-
cessive evenings, he appears as the
Apostle John in his old age, Pontius
Pilate, the Roman Governor who
condemned Christ, and as one of
the Roman soldiers who crucified
Christ. Other characterizations in-
clude the old Innkeeper of Bethle-
hem, and such historical and liter-
ary figures as Martin Luther and
John Bunyan. Each impersonation
is introduced or followed by a brief
Bible Message, keyed to the char-
acter.
Mr. Jackson's Gospel Life Por-
traits are given in full costume,
with interpretive lighting-effects
and music. The special lighting and
audio-electronic equipment is op-
erated by his son, Philip Jackson,
who assists his father as a tech-
nician.
An ordained minister of the Gos-
pel, Paul Gerrard Jackson was for-
merly a professional actor. He
specialized In the classical drama,
and played a variety of Shakespear-
ean roles in transcontinental tours
of the United States and Canada.
He received his education at
Dartmouth College and the Dallas
j Seminary of Texas. While pursuing
his theological studies in the lat-
ter institution, he was also a mem-
ber of the faculty for four years as
a lecturer in phonetics and oral
expression in the Department of
homiietics. Mr. Jackson's first pas-
torate was In Boston, followed by
a ministry In Maine where he orig-
inated and developed two popular
radio broadcasts heard every week
over the Columbia Station in Ban-
gor. His latest pastorate was with
the Cornerstone Church of Provi-
dence, Rhode Island.
Mr. Jackson has been a popular
speaker at Youth Rallies through-
out the country, On several occa-
sions he has been called to supply
the pulpit of the Moody Memorial
Church of Chicago, and has been a
guest-preacher in the Calvary Bap-
tist Church of New York City and
the People's Church of Toronto. He
has also enjoyed an extensive min-
istry as a Bible Conference speaker.

Yesterday was "Cape Cod Day"
at the Middleboro Agricultural Fair.
Farmer Brown's scientific exhibit ,
with industrial , vegetable, and cat-
tle, sheep, goats, poultry, rabbits
exhibits, held sway, as they will
each day through the remainder of
the Fair run, which concludes on
Sunday night, September 4,
Parl-mutuel horse racing is
staged each afternoon, and this af-
ternoon (Thursday) there is a
Work-and-Plow-Horse race.
Each evening at 8 o'clock a
grandstand show takes place, with
a Downey Brothers Circus Revue,
and a display ot atomic fireworks.
On the final day, horse pulling
contests tire on the list,
Traditional attractions such as
flower exhibits , canning, vegetable
displays, crochet exhibits and other
typical county fair features are
stronger this year. There also are
displays by the Army, Navy and
Alt - Force Recruiting OfficeB.
Considerable interest is being
shown In the thoroughbred horse
racing, because many fans insist
that the county fair type of racing
provides more thrills and excito-
ment than the big race plant vari-
ety of racing.
The Middleboro Fairgrounds are
located on Route 105 at the "Gate-
way to the Capeway" and highways
from all points lead directly to the
grounds,
The gates close at 0 p.m. on the
Farewell Day, Sunday, Sept. 4.
