The People Speak
A request from the commanding officer of the 33rd Fighter
Wing at Otis Air Force Base, that the military bombing area at
Momitnoy Point be extended brought more than 600 residents
(both year-'round and part-time) out to the public hearing in
Community Hall, Chatham, September one. Protesting with
them were chairman of the Chatham Board of Selectmen, Cape
Congressman, State Senator from this district, Cape Cod Cham-
ber 0{ Commerce officials, and representatives of all the civic
and community groups of the Lower Cape. Protests were made
on the grounds of safety to those in the area, detriment to com-
mercial Fishing, and to the summer business of catering to vaca-
tion trade. The thought was even expressed that, in time, the
military might take over all Cape Cod, if such a tendency were
allowed to gain a foot-hold.
The matter was taken under advisement by the Govern-
ment.
Chatham had its annual summer Town Meeting not long
ago, when the bombing area expansion was discussed prior to
the public hearing.
The holding of a summer Town Meeting is growing in favor
and spreading, as more and more towns find this way of giving
their summer population opportunity to express their wishes
and desires regarding the town where they have chosen to estab-
\\4\ Iteit summer residence.
The matter of beach restriction has been cropping up this
summer. The most recent example is in Centerville where, last
Friday night, about ISO residents gathered in the church and,
upon hearing the report of the Beach Committee, voted to rec-
ommend the insertion in the warrant for the next Town Meeting
an article restricting the Centerville-Craigville Beach to resi-
dents , and their guests, of the Town of Barnstable.
Tmis, Cape Cod handlesits business in the traditional New
England, direct, town-meeting style.

The same train service as was
operated last winter to and from
Cape Cod, also serving Brockton ,
Brldgewater, Mlddleboro and In-
termediate points will be operated
this tall and winter by the New
Haven Railroad under a new 4-
point plan tor all the former Old
Colony lines which Is announced by
Laurence F, Whlttemore, president
of the road.
Two rbund trips would lie oper-
ated on week-days between Boston
and Hyannis, with one round trip
on Sundays. Three additional round
trips will be operated between Bos-
ton , Brockton and Mlddleboro Mon-
days to Fridays inclusive, with
two of these latter round trips op-
erating on Saturdays. Buses will
be substituted for train service be-
tween Buzzards Bay and Woods
Hole during the winter months. The
New Haven 's plan Includes resump-
tion of train service on the Woods
Hole Branch next summer.
The 4-point plan , to become effec-
tive at the end of daylight Bavlng
time, Sept. 24, according to the
railroad's announcement would, If
successful cooperation can be se-
cured, enable continuance this Fall
and Winter ot 85 per cent ot all
passenger service which was oper-
ated on the entire former Old Col-
ony lines under the schedules of
March 1, lust . .
The announcement also stated
that before the actual running
times of the Fall and Winter sched-
ules to the Cape are announced the
road hopes to be able to make the
service even more attractive than
on last fall and winter's schedules.
"Our belief that this 4-point plan
may, it everyone concerned cooper-
ates," said President Whlttemore,
"solve the immediate problem of
continuing passenger train opera-
tion, Is based on the success of our
summertime service to and from
Cape Cod during the season just '
, ending.
"Through a policy of offering the
best possible service, both in equip-
ment and speed; extensively pro-
moted and advertised; and with
the all-important cooperation of the
residonts of the area who workod
hard to spread the doctrine of 'if
wo ure to retnin passenger t rain
service we must patronize It ,' the
New Haven succoeded in winning
buck from tlio highways a consid-
erable amount of summer patron-
age to anil from Cape Cod which
bad deserted the trains for the pri-
vate automobile. In fact we did u
little better thun thut. Especially
