THANK YOU
A sincere thank you to everyone
who contributed to the Sept. 30
Northside News during our week
of vacation.
OLD CLIP
While visiting at the Bishop cot-
tage on Sandy Neck recently,
Georgia Ferguson of Barnstable
was shown an old clipping from
the Barnstable Patriot printed In
1924.
It told of the first auto to be dri-
ven to the tip of The Neck. Clay-
ton Bishop of Onset holds that
claim to fame. He took his trim-
med down to the chassis Model T
Ford to the end of Sandy Neck
that year to pay a call on the
F.R.S. Harrisons.
ADDITION UNDER WAY
AT STURGIS LIBRARY
Groundbreaking for the new ad-
dition to The Sturgis Library in
Barnstable took place Tuesday
morning with Mrs. Edward Ei.
Moore of Cotuit putting the spade
in the sod. Also present for the
event were the librarian , Mrs.
Alice Douglas; president of trus-
tees, Eugene Exman; the contrac-
tor, Karniala; John Sylvester Ra-
leigh; Selectman E. Thomas Mur-
phy ; and Ben Gunn, architect.
Mrs. Moore , who has, herself ,
served on the board of the library
for about 31 years, was preceded
by both her mother and grandmo-
ther and among the three, service
to the library totals over 125 years.
In preparation for the start on
the addition , local women have
put their shoulder to the wheel for
two days packing over 200 boxes
of books, storing the first ten
years' collection of the library
which will ultimately be placed
with the 19th Century Retrospec-
tive Collection. This same team
has cooperated in shifting the re-
maining volumes.
Workers Included Mmes. Free-
man Crosby, Charles Howes, Isa-
belle Burnham, John Beattle, Lee
Davis, McClure Howland , Ray -
mond Dodge, Earl Lathrop, Ed-
ward Kelley, Herbert Carroll, Cor-
nelia Austin and Mrs. Harrington
vanHoesen. ,
The library was closed earlier
in the week, but thanks to the help
given by the ladles, it is expected
to be open for regular hours by
the end of this week.
The contract signed with Kar-
niala for the new construction
calls for completion in May, and
assuredly, the addition will be
ready for use before summer.
FROSTBITES FREEZE
The Frostbite sailors did a freeze
on activities at Barnstable Yacht
Clnb Sunday, deciding the wea -
ther was too breezy and cool.
If these conditions don't deter
the off-season skippers and crews,
races are scheduled for 2:30 next
Sunday afternoon , and again at
the same time on the 11th.
WEST PARISH CHURCH
The theme for Laity Sunday,
Oct. 10, at West Parish Church
will be Faith For These Times
and Places. Men of the parish
will conduct the 10 a.m. service.
A reminder is made of the Chur-
ch World Service Clothing Appeal
which closes Oct. 13. Children's
clothing of all weights and light
weight adult clothing are needed.
Blankets and men's work clothes
arc especially needed items. Ro-
berta James is in charge of the
collection at West Parish.
During September the church
welcomed as new members Mr.
and Mrs . John C. Dexter of Mar-
stons Mills and Mr. and Mrs. Ar-
thur H. May of East Sandwich.
Over $800 has been turned in to
the church treasury representing
the profit made on the annual
men's chicken barbecue.
VANDALS AT WORK
Vandals have been at work again
In the past week or so on the Nor-
thside. This time someone decid-
ed that time was of no consequence
and took the hands off the Unitari-
an Church clock face on two sides.
It's a low trick when one considers
the money only recently spent by
the church to refurbish the clock.
CENTER BEAUTIFIED
The post office parking lot in
Barnstable has been beautified in
recent days. Gorgeous mums have
been planted in the border bed
and in the window boxes of the
bank.
POT POURRI OFFERED
Boys in Scout Troop 56 are lug-
ging big cartons from door to door
these fall afternoons. The boxes
contain a pot pourri of items for
the homeowner which may be or-
dered from the boys. Proceeds
will help finance camping equip-
ment for the troop.

STUDYING IN MADRID

Mrs. Alexander Laird of Old Jail
Lane, is one of the 35 young peo-
ple who have enrolled In the Lake
Forest College study abroad pro-
gram in Madrid this fall. This is
the largest contingent to register
for any of the five LFC foreign
study programs since the pioneer
program was established in 1964
in Madrid.
Young Laird will study the cul-
ture and language of the Spanish
people in classes at the Interna -
tional Institute, located a block
from the American Embassy. Spe-
cial courses In Spanish art, civili-
zation and literature are taught
by Spanish professors and schol-
ars. He will have access to na-
tional libraries and museums,
plays, concerts, lectures by visit-
ing poets, historians and econa -
mists. Full-day excursions are al-
so planned to El Escorial and the
Valley of the Fallen, Toledo, Se-
govia and La Granja.
Students will live with resident
families, many of whom speak
little or no English, during their
stay which runs through the first
semester. Robert will graduate
next June from Lake Forest as a
Spanish malor. In order to be eli-
gible to participate in the pro -
gram abroad, he had to maintain
a certain average, and this he did,
achieving a dean's list standing
last year.
Letters received from him by
his parents since his Sept. 5 leave-
taking have been enthusiastic a-
bout all that he is seeing, hearing
and learning under the foreign
study program.

RESCUE-FIRE ACTION
Barnstable Rescue Squad on
Sept. 29 transported Mrs. Francis
Whitehead from Cape Cod Hospi-
tal where she had been a patient
for some time to her Barnstable
home. The morning of Oct. 2 the
men took Mrs. Ledlie Laughlin to
thp hospital where she was treat-
ed for a knee Injury and then re-
turned her to her Barnstable resi-
dence.
On Oct. 4 the rescue unit was
called to the home of Lydla Brown
In Barnstable when she became
111 and needed transportation to
the hospital.
About 7 that evening the squad's
services were needed when Barn-
stable Policeman Bob Harvey suf-
fered back and neck Injuries after
attempting to set up a road block
on the Mid Cape. Yarmouth, Barn-
stable and State Police were in -
volved in a high speed chase after
three youths stole a telephone
truck. The cruiser with which Har-
vey had blocked the highway was
rammed by the driver of the truck,
then continued on its way. Police
later apprehended the trio.
One fire occurred during the
week , that on Oct. 1 at the Whitta-
ker home on Meridian Way. Dam-
age was largely due to smoke.
COMMENTS
The new surface on Route 6A is
still pretty greasy, and if you're
squealing around the curves, bet-
ter slow down. Traction will im -
prove if and when we get a good,
cold soaking rain.
Scalloping on the Northside has
become quite the thing these fall
days with the first real crop in
over 20 years. Those who are ta-
king advantage of the bonanza
might remember when parking
their vehicles that some people
need the use of their driveways,
and instead of blocking them be
considerate enough to allow pass-
age by property owners. It would
be nice, of course, If those park-
ing on private property were cour-
teous enough to ask permission.
ST. MARY'S CHURCH
Due to the holiday next week ,
the junior fellowship of Saint
Mary 's Episcopal Church will not
meet on Monday and the church
office will be closed that day.
The Rev. George T. Cobbett will
be the celebrant at an Instructed
Eucharist Oct. 10 at 9 a.m. The
second order of Holy Communion
from the trial prayer book of the
Episcopal Church will be used
with explanations added during
the service by a lector. A free -
standing altar will be used so that
the celebrant can face the people.
Those having items for the rum-
mage sale scheduled from 10 a.m.
to 1 p.m. on Oct. 21 may leave
them at the church at any time or
if they wish them to be picked up,
they may call Mrs. Otis Dewan at
775-8381.

dress as well as new one, with
