I am grateful for this opportunl-

iltar; to pray with you for all the
mentions , personal and patriotic,
fhloh we share; and to bring to
on this morning some thoughts
rhich occurred to me as I was pre-
larlng for this inspiring event.
The National Guard exists for a
purpose set forth in its very name.
The security ot the nation, the
protection of its existence, its
heritage, its people , its homes and
all its values—these are the great
objects of your concern. For these
you ore prepared , it need be, to
mice up arms. For these, therefore,
each and every one of you stands
ready to die.
This means that you acknowl-
edge the right of America to ask
you to take up arms when armed
defense la needed; it means that
you acknowledge her right to ask
you, again if need be, even to die.
You are entirely correct in your
understanding of America's claim
upon you and of your, grave re-
sponsibility to her. Were it not for
men like yourselfs and for her mil-
lions of other likeminded sous,
America would disintegrate under
the attack of those outside who
hate her or she would decay from
within because of the Instability
of those who do not love her as
men love; valiantly, resolutely,
fearlessly and unto the death . Be-
lieve me, America needs you badly
in these days of hatred abroad and
disloyalty at home, of false paci-
fism when the call is for na-
tional defense and unworthy toler-
ance of the international offenses
of others.
America has a right to ask that
you take up arms for her and even,
it need be, die for her defense. I
am a priest , a Catholic bishop, and
BO I Bpeak as for the Church. Like

Cape's Narrow Exit Helpful
The hold-up and robbery in an Osterville home last week
proves the point always held by Cape Codders that such acts
would not be attempted here, because of the difficulties of a
get-away.
Although they did make the attempt at the crime, the rob-
bers did not get away. They were stopped at the Bourne bridge.
Quick work on the part of our police between the towns of
Barnstable and Bourne prevented the escape.
The peculiar position of Cape Cod makes the only land
connection with the mainland the two bridges across the Canal.
Everyone approaching or leaving the Cape does so by one and
the same route, whereas most places are in the center of every-
where, with roads radiating from them in all directions.
Two men, armed, entered the home of Mr. and Mrs. Don-
ald Parsons on Eel River Road, Osterville about 3 A.M. October
3 and wakened the sleeping couple by throwing a flashlight in
their faces. After binding and gagging them and shutting them
in a closet, the robbers helped themselves to silver, jewelry, and
other valuables to the worth of $20,000. After the men had
driven away, Mr. Parsons was able to free himself and call the
police.
It is inevitable that the lawless and criminal wave of the
times should touch the peace and serenity of Cape Cod, but it
was a bit surprising that a hold-up and robbery of this descrip-
tion should have occurred here. The robbed couple, Mr. and
Mrs. Parsons, are newcomers and had just moved into their
new home in Osterville. Mr. Parsons is engaged in research in
marine meterology at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute.
The robbers are young men, former merchant seamen , and
from the west.
We are glad these culprits were captured at the exit point
from the Cape. Justice can be served quickly and on the home
territory. The incident should, also, serve as a deterrent to any
[others contemplating Cape Cod crime.
