Indian Summer
Slating that fall vacations are increasing in popularity in
flew England , the New England Council has published two new
booklets with the purpose of acquainting visitors with the attrac-
tions of this most colorful season in New England. They serve as
a guide also to the hotels and other places of hospitality that are
open through the autumn.
Chairman of the Recreational Development Committee of
the New England Council is our own Calvin D. Crawford of
Cotuit. Mr. Crawford stated, in announcing the Fall Promotion
Campaign , among other things, that September contains more
sunny days than any other month, and that the temperature of
the ocean is 10 degrees higher than in June all along the New
England coast.
Cape Cod, an important section of New England, has its
own fall program.THe success of the 1948 Indian Summer period
is attested by the facts that the Bureau of Advertising of the
American Newspaper Publishers' Association noted it in their
issue," Advertising Facts," that "Editor and Publisher" told of
it in one of their numbers, and that "Printer's Ink" is also pub-
lishing the story. In the recreational industry, the Cape's ex-
perience makes a real success story.
Indian Summer is again being sponsored by the Cape Cod
Chamber of Commerce. Again, the old-fashioned column sheet is
out, listing Indian Summer events—tuna and golf tournaments,
f ishing derbies, water and land sports, antiques, and the other
things that make up Cape Cod loveliness—in old-time, hand-set
type in great variety of style and size.
Although families with children of school age are not eligible
for fall sojourns here, there are plenty of persons who are, and
it is at these the Chamber aims in its advertising campaign. Last
year the return was high for the dollars invested. With the addi-
tional publicity dispensed by those who came last year, it is rea-
sonable to expect this year that a greater number,will come to
aamp\eour delightful Cape Cod autumn.

The Cape Cod Art Association
closed its doors last Saturday on
the final exhibition of the season.
Attendance numbered slightly over
4000 tor the three shows. A break-
down of the figures Indicates an
increase in attendance as the sea-
son advanced. The June exhibition
of the work of Cape Cod school
children was viewed by more than
700 persons. The July all-Jury show
drew an attendance of 1528 and
I the August non-jury exhibition,
I with final figures not tabulated,
I Till run above 1800, .
I These figures are a slight in-
lorease over last year's and are
f
considered good. The association
I Is young, this being oi.fy 'iA second
' season ; and the directors feel that,
as the public becomes more fa-
miliar with the well-lighted and
spacious gallery and the high cal-
ibre ot the exhibitions, attendance
should greatly increase .
At a directors' meeting on the
final day, Mr, Robert L. Cummlngs,
treasurer of the Sarasota Art As-
sociation , was a guest. Mr. Cum-
tulnps gave a talk outlining the 23-
year history of this Florida organ-
ization. He told of its struggles and
progress, which culminated finally
In the building of its own gallery
on the city's Civic Center. Many
problems that he cited are com-
parable to the diffcultles faced by
the young Cape Cod Association,
and their solutions should prove a
practical help and inspiration to
the directors here.
It was decided definitely to offer
a series of classes in painting at
the gallery this winter on a more
extensive basis than last year.
Courses will be taught by Vernon
Coleman, head of art in the Barn-
stable schools, and by Mary Hoover
Aiken, well-known painter and wife
of the Pulitzer prize-winning poet,
Conrad Aiken, who lives in Brew-
ster. Other teachers may be avail-
able if the demand warrants. Any-
one interested in these classes
should register with Mr. F. J. Gal-
lant at the Hobby Shop, 538 Main
Street, Hyannis.
The Association was fortunate
to have as gallery director this sea-
son, Mr, Edmond Gurry, who has
spent many years in gallery work
and teaching, and who Is well-
known throughout the country ns
an authority on art. His intelligent
and cordial treatment ot visitors to
the gallery did much to increase
their pleasure and interest in the
exhibitions. Gallery goers will be
pleased, as are the directors, to
know that he plans to return an-
other season.

"Anything that will run on tho rails
will be proferable to buses" wus
voiced by several protesting tho

The rail officials wore uccused
of unwillingness to use a bit of In-
genuity to supply propor winter
service , "proper" being service sat-
isfactory to the people living along
the Branch line; of holding back
uctual figures; and of falling to bal-
