Scouting Must Stay
The annual drive for funds for the ,Boy Scout work on
(w Cod, supposedly closed September 20th , but is being kept
MI to give the needed time in which to complete the amount
led for-$16,000.
We are aware that other fall financial campaigns have pre-
eded that for Scouting and that the public have been accus-
tomed ,l°°> t0 thinking Scout thoughts in the winter, making
their contributions at that time for the current year.
The Cape Cod Council were forehanded and planned to
conduct the 19S0 campaign this fall. It will help them to organ-
ize and carry on the work by knowing ahead what they can
count on.
The people of Cape Cod have not appreciated this change
in time, no doubt thinking 1950 will be time enough for them
to respond. It is better, however, that your response be now.
Certainly, it is inconceivable that Cape Cod Scouting should
cease or even fall behind on its scheduled performance; but
now is the time to realize its accustomed success.
And remember that this current drive is the only appeal
for funds that will be made for 1950 work. Bear up in this
promise those responsible for the campaign and make your
gift now.
[EDITORIAL
"It is out ot the 3% ot our income which we give away voluntarily
to the nation's cultural agencies that we draw our richest satisfaction."!
"t do not understand It . any more than you do, but. there is something
about it that, blesses us . . . Those who give most bave most left . . .
I believe that, everyone who dries a tear will be spared the shedding
of a thousand tears. . . . I believe that every sacrifice we make will
so enrich us in the future that our regret will be we did not sacrifice
the more. . . . " "Give—and somewhere from out of the clouds, or from
the depths of human hearts a melody divine will reach your ears, and
gladden all your days upon earth."
The above quotation is not taken fr om the literature of the Church
but it might well.find a place there. It is found in the records of the
Pennsylvania Bankers Association and is quoted from the address of

Attention Gentlemen! Please do
not feel slighted Ladies, but tbis
week's hobby report on an inter-
esting collection is more fascinat-
ing to a man, as a rule, than to a
woman. When It wan a "Man's
World", no self-respecting gentle-
man would dare venture forth
without at least one pistol, if not
for protection, at least for effect.
Since this old custom is now ob-
solete (at least in these parts)
there is an excess of old firearms
which are now collectors' items.
Our story deals with such a per-
son .. . Frederick (Bud) Hebdltch,
by name, and collector of firearms
—past and contemporary, by hob-
by. Bud works for the Cape and
Vineyard Electric Light Company
at Mary Dunn Road Switching
Station.
Among the most fascinating and
historical firearms In his collection
is the Saqh Pistol. It was presented
to Mr. Hebdltch by Ned Nickerson
of Botirne. If .you roesofnber your
history, at one time the North and
the South waged a war. A young
Southern gallant , hearing stories
of antics of the "Damnyankoes ",
presented this little ivory-handled
pistol to his sweetheart just in
case any of the "up North" boys
happened to pass by and needed a
bit of persuasion to continue along
their way. Apparently the gentle
Southern Hello was too timid to
use tho plBtol , or no boys from tho
North came by, or if they did they
were the more polite brand of
"Danmyankees ", because the fact
remains the pistol was never fired
and still contains the original shot
which was placed In it by the Con-
federate soldier before he went off
to war.
Some other old-time pistol s date
back to the Civil War too, as well
as the Spanish-American , Boxer
Rebellion , and right up to World
Wars 1 and 11. Bud also has plstolB
from tho early 1700's and some re-
volvers with over and under flint
barrels. Others among the col-
lection are a Springfield Rifle
(18Cfi) Sharp 's rifles models (lj 2,
8)', Remington , Winchester, and a
Colt Revolver (1836).
Not only does Bud collect fire-
arms, but he also repairs them. It
is Interesting to learn , too, that
Bud is one of the few men In the
country who can make paper cart-
ridges. He also collects holsters,
powder horns, flasks, makes gun
stocks, and casts bullets to fit all
rifles and pistols. He gathers his
collection through interested
friends who don't "tote" guns any-
more", through swapping, and is
always on the alert tor additional
items. ,
Bud's womenfolk are pretty in-
terested in gm»B, too. His mother
is a sharp shooter (and a fine one,
at that), and so is bis wife Ruth.
Ruth can shoot cork stoppers from
bottles at ten paces without break-
ing the bottle! Pretty good for a
mere woman, eh?
It can honestly be Bald that Bud
has a "roaring good time", espe-
cially when he is practising at the
police rifle range or the Yarmouth
dump. Ah, well, Folks, it's all in
a day of a hobby.

Train service will bo continued
on tho Woods Hole Brunch of tho
New Haven Railroad, botwoon Buz-
zards Bay and Woods Hole, for a
trial period ot two months, it has
boon nunounced. Busos were to havo
been substituted for trains during
tho winter months, offoctlvo with
the end of dayli ght saving time
for 1949.
Decision to continue train serv-
ice, cither with a gasollno-rall
coach or by conventional ateatn-
traiu service , on tno trial oasis,
was mado , tho Now Haven 's an-
nouncement stated, "as tho result
of meetings bold with tho residents
of the area who told us they would
endeavor to secure more riders on
the trains and that they would
gladly pay higher fares to retain
train service rather than have the
area served by busos in the win-
ter months."
In its announcement to tho local
committee the New Haven said:
"Because of the demand for a
gas-rail car, Instead ot bus service,
to serve the Woods Hole Branch
stations during tho winter months,
we are endeavoring to locate such
a vehicle and hope to do so. With
the prospect of higher fares we
will continue train service, either
with the gas-rail car or tho present
steam-train service tor a 2-months
trial period . However, Its contin-
ued operation will require 200 pas-
sengers per day on the branch, or
about 50 passengers por trip, pro-
vided we can secure tho gas-rail
car, and 240 passengers por day or
about flO per day If we continue
to use steam-train servlco, in order
to ootne somewhere near mooting
out-of-pocket costs."

Cranberry Festival
Celebrates Harvest
The Cranberry Festival, coming
at the height of Cape Cod'B harvest
season, will be held In South Car-
ver, October 8, at famous Edaviile,
the world's largest individually
owned cranberry plantation. Thou-
sands of visitors to the Cape look
forward to this gala event each
year and the plans being made by
the co-sponsors, National Cran-
berry Association and the Ameri-
can Cranberry Exchange, give
promise of a bigger and better
than ever testimonial to the fruit
that is Massachusetts ' largest
export.
The cranberry is as much a part
of Cape Cod as the cod Itself and
its historic background goes back
farther than Plymouth Rock.
Grown principally in Massachu-
setts, Wisconsin, New Jersey,
Washington and Oregon , It Is as
exclusively American as the Lib-
erty Bell and the Success of the
cranberry industry is as much in
the democratic tradition as a rail-
splitter becoming president.
The story ot its rise from a food
and medicine used by the Indians,
later Introduced to the first Pil-
grim settlers, to a nation-wide all-
year-round mealtime favorite will
be portrayed in picturesque pag-
eantry at the festival , and a new
step from the Square Dance family,
"The Cranberry Pickers' Reel"
will be introduced. The Cranberry
Queen will be crowned, cranberry
red fashions displayed and Anally
The Little White Hen and The Lit-
tle Red Cranberry, wed at last
year's festival, will return for a
command performance.
Guests will have a hehlnd-th e-
scene view of cranberry harvesting
from the quaint coaches of the Eda-
viile Cranberry Belt Line, the last
2-foot gauge railroad In U. S., that
circles tho Ellis D, Atwood bogs
of more than 200 acres. Not only
will tho visitor soo but will also
taste, as tho refreshment menu will
Introduce new and pleasing ways
to enjoy cranberries.
The festival ushers In Cranberry
Week to bo observed from October
1
,0 through IB. On October 12, Na-
tional Cranberry Association will
open tho doors of its Ocean Spray
plant at onset to visitors and on
the 15th, the, main plant at Hanson
will hold Open House. This will
offer an opportunity to observe
what happens to tho ruby red fruit
after harvesting to change It from
a bouncin g berry to a well-pre-
served cranberry sauce.
.Inst on' Route r>H in South Car-
ver, the road to the festival
grounds is clearly marked with
HIKIIS pointing the way to Edaviile.
