VILLAGE CHURCH
On Sunday , Sept. 4, at th.« Vil-
lage Church, the Rev. Robert
Brock, pastor, will speak on the
theme, "The Significance of Christ.
A Communion Meditation."
Quotation from last Sunday's
sermon: "Luke 17:11-14 records
the story of Jesus' healing of the
ten Lepers. They were told to go
show themselves to the priests and
they would be cleansed. Jesus evi-
dently asked them to do this be-
cause it was customary for those
who had been healed of contagious
diseases to obtain from the priests
certificates of health.
The Lepers did not stop to in-
quire or to understand how they
were to be cleansed , but simply did
as they were told and were made
whole again.
We need not trouble about the
how of the Resurrection of Jesus
to know the reality of His empow-
ering presence in our contempor-
ary life. "I am the Way, the Truth
and the Life." Christ offers to the
world a Way of Life, a Way of
Worship, — Prayer, Meditation, re-
ceiving the Sacraments of tha
Church ; of love, unselfishness,|
kindness, goodwill , service, moral
purity. We need not worry about
strength, power, peace; we need
not understand how His power is
able to redeem , strengthen and
transform our lives into triumph-
ant living in order to feel his tre-
mendous power. As the Lepers
were cleansed , as they obeyed , so
we will he healed and strengthen-
ed as we walk In the way Christ
beckons."
CHURCH BUSINESS MEETING
A special church meeting ot
vital importance is called for Sun-
day, Sept . 4, 1949, in the church
vestry at 12:15 p.m. This meeting
has been called at the request of

CRAIGVILLE TABERNACLE
At the Cralgville Tabernacle,
Sept. 4, the Rev. Roger T. Burton
will speak. Mr. Burton is pastor
of the Cong.-C'hristlan Church of
Irvlngton , N. J. After completing
his course at Boston University,
was graduated from the Oberlln
School of Theolpgy and has been
pastor of Congregational Churches
of Utica , New York , and Spring-
field , Ohio, before accepting his
present charge.
The Bervlces at the Cralgville
Tabernacle , with its quiet , out-
door setting, have always been
marked by their devotional atmos-
phere . The singing is by the audi-
ence, to which sometimes a guest
soloist lends his or her aid. The
speakers have this year been chos-
en from the Congregational-Chris-
tian Fellowship in the main , with
some notable exceptions, and the
interest and attendance have in-
creased. For those who are priv-
ileged to attend un unusual oppor-
tunity is afforded to hear speakers
who do not usually come within
our reach.
LIBRARY BUSINES8
On Friday evening, at the meet-
ing of the Library Board , there
was general discussion of the
possible need for changes in the

ing Committee made plans for the
financing of the proposed exten-
sion to the library building, which
will furnish a long-time needed
jonvenlence. On Sept , 9, the full
joard will take up the carrying out
>f these arrangements.
FULLER FUND
We are happy to report that the
awaited Improvement in the con-
dition of Charles Fuller seems to
have begun. Tuesday, when Mrs.
Fuller was rlsitisg his bedside, he
became conscious enough for the
first time to say a few words to her,
to her great joy, in which we sym-
pathize. Undoubtedly, progress will
be slow and taxing, but it now
seems surer. The "Charlie Fuller
Fund", under the direction of
Sheriff Tulloch is being admirably
directed. Solicitors are out or you
may send a contribution direct to
the Sheriff's office. This evening,
at the Hyannis Airport, there will
be a benefit Square Dance for the
fund , which has already reached
the sum of 1350.00.

Cape Cinema to Open
For Scout Benefit
Continued from Page I
First, the committee chosen to
translate the hospital idea into ac-
tion called a public meeting May 1,
1919, which brought forth enthusi-
astic support. Then a committee to
incorporate was chosen . Significant-
ly, its members came not only from
Hyannis but from Osterville , Sand-
wich , Sagamore, Buzzards Bay, Fal-
mouth , Yarmouth , Harwich , Chat-
ham , Brewster and Orleans, dem-
onstrating, if It needs demonstrat-
ing, that fro m the very first , when
the hospital was struggling to be
born , It has been an Institution of ,
by and for all the people of the
Cape.
For a cooperative human endeav-
or, events moved swiftly. In Octo-
ber 1919 came the first fund appeal;
In April 1920 a committee selected
the summer residence of Dr. E, P.
Gleason , the Watts estate, as the
best available site. It was the old
Hyannis Village Seminary where,
In 1849, a hundred Cape Cod boys
and girls groped for higher educa-
tion. It cost $35,000, with $3000 the
down payment. The year 1920 was
full or hospital doings : it was in-
corporate d; It conducted a $50,000
fund appeal; and with the aid of
numerous friends and friendly or-
ganizations , its new building was
fitted out.
By Saturday, Oct >ber 2, 1020, the
new Cape Cod Hospital was opened
to visitors, and oh Monday, the 4th,
to patients.
William O. Crocker, of Oster-
ville, a patient of Dr, W. D. Kinney,
badly crippled with rheumatism ,
was first In the new institution. On
that October day the Cape Cod Hos-
pital was a frame wooden building
with 14 beds and two cribs. Some
nurses were quartered on the third
floor. Everyone thought it pretty
wonderful. Cape Cod at last had
Its own hospital and no longer for
operations and emergencies were
residents of the Cape compelled to
Journey long distances tor necessary
hospital care.
Next milestone ln the hospital
story dates six months later , when
Dr. Goorge H. Gray, of Lynn , was
invited to locate In Hyannis and
become chief surgeon. He accept-
ed and about May 1, 1921, he com
meneod his new duties. In the yours
which followed , perhaps more than
nny other slnglo person, Dr, Gray
shaped and influenced the growth
of the Capo Cod Hospital. If It has
a patron saint , it Is Dr. Cray. For
13 years he devoted his life and
profession al skill to the service of
the hospital and to the people ot
Cape Cod.
The hospital story from 1920 to
the present Is one of constant en-
deavor to satisfy the growing hos-
pital needs of a growing area. It Is
a story of struggle for adequate
physical plant, adequate equipment,
nursing care and adequate staff.
Long steps forward were: brick ad-
ditions ln 1923 and 1935; new
nurses' home in 1926 and addition
to it in 1937; establishment of
nursing school ln 1947.
This year 1949 the Cape Cod
Hospital is on the threshold of its
greatest expansion , which in effect
will create a new Cape Cod Hos-
pital. Its past is an example of
community effort carried forward
against odds by able and devoted
friends , lay and professional. Its
future will see more struggles, per-
haps, but with the new physical
plant and an awakened apprecia-
tion of what the hospital means to
our Cape community, and what our
community 's responsibility is to
the hospital , one can view its fu-
ture with confidence.
Arthur G. Guyer of Hyannis was
the first president of the Board.
He was succeeded in turn by G.
Webster Hallett of Ostervlllei
Charles L. Ayling of Centervllle',
and the present incumbent , Joshua
A. Nickerson, 2nd of Chatham.
The present treasurer is Edward
W. Gould of Osterville. He was
preceded by Edward L. Chase of
Hyannis , the first treasurer, then ,
in order , John E. Hinckley of Burn '
stable , Edward F. Maher of Hyan-
nis, Frank G. Thacher of Hyannis
The superinten dents have been
in order, Misses Nellie Woodworth'
Jessie L. Brown , Irene Sharp, Mar-
ion Ruiter, Ruth Adle, Eleanor i.
Jones, all of whom were registered
nurses, and the present adminis-
trator, with this change in title
from that of superintendent , Mr
Francis Van Buren .
The number employed , us to
nursing staff and technicians, wus
in 1920, 4; in 1939, 44; in 1949 , 75
which Includes 19 In training.
The hospital capacity has been,
In 1920 , with the frame original
buildi ng, 20 beds; in 1822, with
the portable annex, 30 beds; in
1923, with the first addition , 45
beds and 15 bassinets; in 1935, with
the second addition , 65 beds and 15
bassinets; and in 1950 it will be
with the new building, 103 beds
and 26 bassinets.

Hospital Story
C—linnidfnm Page /
traffic moves to the left, as ln the
British Isles. The streets are nar-
row, shops are queer and native
jargon echoes shrill between the
crowding stucco walls. Along this
Avenida, fire has swept through
block on block of crowded native
homes. Ignited by politicians, who
sweeten their loss with incendiary
rage. This fire is a tragic monu-
ment to tropic temperament.
Outside of Colon, through low,
green hills, we drive on toward Ga-
tun. The jungle presses close to
the road and threatens to engulf
the remnants of the French Canal.
That same thick green climbs over
ail the hills—a mat of breadfruit
trees and oddly shaped palms. Golf
courses slope like green carpets
here and there beside our way.
Gatun, where sea-steps lift the
boats which sail from sea to sea !
Gatun; where Army barracks are,
where scores of hands construct
new locks, and men, tanned dark,
throng round and round.
On the Panama Railroad , ride
for fun second class, along with
the natives, dark of skin, burned
by the tropic sun. Along the line,
grass huts cling to the jungled
slopes. There are fences around
each home, where flowers bloom in
flame. The hills stand higher as we
go. Quaint villages slip past. Fri-
joles—Culebra, Miraflores . With
much ado, we slip Into Panama City,
the capital of the Panamanian land.
Close by tne western Sea this
city stands, ringed nil about by
steep green mountains. Near the
town, narrow, crooked streets in-
vade these jungle-cla d heights.
Further out , the green slopes re-
main unbroken, steaming upward
to the sun.
The Avenida Central cuts irregu-
larly across the city. European ba-
zaars and American shops blend
confusingly. Kelley's Rltz , Willie 's
Bar and the. Bon Ton Shop nestle
next to native stores, The Plaza del
Amns is thronged with dark skinned
races from all over the world. Bril-
liant hued American street cars
rattle by along the Avenida and
queer, tiny buses twist and turn
from here to there.
Up narrow side streets , lined
with towering stucco walls are an
cient vistas. Graceful church tow-
ers, grilled windows, and patio
gardens beckon to old Spain In
the Church with the Golden Altar,
sheer glory blooms forth. Towering
high toward the nave is the famous
shrine which the robber, Morgan
missed In hasty greed. Its reflecting
beauty streams across the dusty
nave-across the aged pews, worn
thin throughout the years. Here the
gold of old Peru remains undimmed
by centuries of lust. Outside along
the bay, the bolconies and cloi-
stored stairs retain the atmosphere
enchanting which the traveler
seeks. The ancient watch towers
in the old sea wall still stand alert
calls
Dr°Ud

Up steep and winding grades we
move to heights crowned rlclilv
with high-walled homes. A glimpse
of patio and shade, beneath tho

music in the noonday sun and tTm

aciile rolls and pounds against

where gruy stones, heaped in ruin!
tell of ancient glory that was Pan- i
ama. The Cathedral Tower, its twist-
ing staircase torn by storms ot the
centuries, stands lonely watch
where the Pacific waters wash the
shore. Behind its turret top, a wide
expanse of cobbled streets are now
overgrown with creeping vines. A
tree lies full athwart the altar, like
a suppliant before his bed.
The day is done—a day filled
with dreams of Panama. Back
through the purpling dusk which
creeps so silently across the emer-
ald hills, we go back to our ship.
Across the sky a flame of stars,
a whisper in the palms, a filigree
of music faintly borne invites the
traveler. Through shadowed Colon
streets, our horse-drawn carriage
sways along. Palms arch far over-
head and stars peep through. Be-
hind garden walls, stringed music
knifes the heavy, perfumed dusk.
The surf beats heavily upon the
shore and suddenl y rain sweeps
down. Beneath the shelter of j.he
carriage roof , we listqn to its whis-
per, soft and gentle as it falls, and
ns quickly as it came, it is gone
and night sleeps beneath the moon
of Panama,

You hav e found your home and
have signed your Sales Agreement
("purchase contract") or have a
plot of ground in mind upon which
you are going to build. In either
case you will probably want a mort-
gage. If you have an active hank
account the natural place to go for
your mortgage is to your own bank
for advice. If a commercial bank,
they may refer you to a Savings
Bank or a Cooperative Bank, or sit
you down and begin to ask ques-
tions. Do not let this worry you, as
it is their business to loan money
and they know what they can do
for you when they know these same
details. Each bank has its own ap-
plication form to be filled out and
the answers are usually simple, but
they should be given to the best of
your information. Whore located;
how much land; value of land-
value of house and details of con-
struction; and details of your own
financial standing, if you are build-
tag you will need a plan and spe-
cifications. The builder you have
chosen can furnish these or the
architect , If you are going to em.
ploy one. The bank representative
will ask you to sign the application
and tell you about the amount they
will consider and the Interest rate
they will charge, if the loan is ap-
proved. Each bank has a committee
which inspects the property anil re-
ports back to the directors what
they think of the Joan and you ore
notified accordingly. Vialloml
banks, cooperative banks, and s»v.
ings banks are limited by hanking
laws on the amounts they can loan.
There is likewise a limit to the
percentage of value under a safe
loan ; 50, 60, 75, 80 percent depend-
ing on your kind of loan and your
ability to pay the interest. A. bant
serves you best when it mukes sure
of the safety of the loan, and proves
it Is a good institution with which
to do business. Interest rates run
from the 4 percent for G. I.'s to 54
percent for others. Most limns lo
day are direct reduction loans pay-
able monthly over a term of yean
reducing the principal a little at a
time. The bank will tell you the
amountB and , if you are a working
man, it is usually figured that you
can carry a loan provided your
weekly income is equal to or more
than the monthly payments.
Banks often charge for tlie in-
spection hy the commit tee, hut to-
day, with money as plentiful as It
has been and banks looking lot
good loans, no charge is customary
by Realtors for placing yo\iv loan,
that being considered part of their
services in the deal. They to"' '
most of the banks covering J*
territory and are generally °"
friendly terms with all, so uro ready
with advice if you have no particu-
lar bank in mind.
