CONSIDER THE TREES With each fall comes a threat to the trees on Cape Cod; 't'he costly storms -with their whipping winds have taken a tragiti tol l in our Cape woods. Along our roadsides stand the ghostly victims, dead and barren , slowly becoming lost to view by new- growth. Fires, of which we have had many in the past , have also sparred our forests and the twisted trunks stand desolate amongst the encroaching green. These hold a severe threat to our forests , for it is here that insects multi ply and go on to destroy the new and living growth so precious to the conservation of our sandy land. Landowners should take a long view of the situation and take measures to prevent further devastation. Dead trees should he removed and burned. Dead limbs should he pruned. 1'nder- hrush should he cleared. These are things which all property owners can do in a small way. Towns should lie urged to investigate the woodlands in their area and take any necessary measures to clean up the ghosts of the past. Such a cooperative effort could save thousands of our trees. EDITORIAL Tryouts for the Barnstable Comedy Club's fall play, "Sep- arate Tables," by Terrence Ratti- Ran , are being; held Thursday, Sept. 21, at 8 p.m., in Barnstable Villa ge Hall. There are nine women and four men in the cast. Theodore Row- ley, chairman of the club' s play selection committee, is directing the autumn production which will be presented Nov. 16, 17 and 18. In the event Hurricane "Esther" forces cancellation of Thursday night's tryouts they will be held at the same hour Sunday. Comedy Club Holding Fall Play Tryouts Barnstable County including Hyannis adopted a watchful, wait- ing attitude as Hurricane Esther roared up the Atlantic coast still well out at sea but lashing coastal areas with fringe winds of gale force. Police, Are and school officials in Hyannis were on alert but showed no signs of perturbation pending word as to the storm 's probable course. At Barnstable Municipal Air- port, where an emergency weath- er station was being manned by Robert L. Nolan , who flew in from the regional U. s. Weather Bureau station in New York for duration of the alert , there was little activity as personnel and Manager Earle Fox awaited last minute reports. Aircraft at the field would not be secured inside or outside han- gars, he said, until it was known definitely from which direction the hurricane might strike. In Hyannis Port , little was be- ing done to protect the summer White House other than, in the words of an official close to the Kennedy property , "the usual precautions taken at any home." The Kennedy houses, which are barely three or four feet above th high water mark, are not pro- vided with shutters. "It could be," added the offi- cial , "a bad spot." Any official word about protection of the properties , he said, would be made In Washington. At press time, none of the household in- cluding Caroline and baby John, had moved further inland. Watchful Waiting For Hurricane At the annual meeting of the Barnstable Grubbers Garden Club held last Wednesday at St. Mary's Parish Hall. Clarence W. Mason was elected to serve as president; Earl Dempsey, secretary-treasurer , and Harold Nash, program chair- man assisted by Nelson Stone and Carl Joslin. Nelson Stone and K. H.
