The large barn on the County
Farm in Barnstable caught Are and
burned Monday night. Damage was
estimated at $20,000.
Destroyed were 100 tons of hay,
representing the summer crop of
the- County Farm, a new potato
digger, a side delivery rake, a plow,
a truck body. It Is thought that 350
bushels of potatoes stored In the
cellar were saved.
Saved, also, was the bull, which
J. Francis Clowery, county herds-
man , led from the barn during the
blaze. The herd of cows was un-
harmed , since they were left out to
pasture, because the night was so
warm.
Barnstable, Hyannis, Osterville,
West and South Yarmouth firemen
fought the blase and were success-
ful in preventing the surrounding
woods from catching fire, also near-
by buildings, one of which housed
thousands of dollars' worth of ma-
chinery and equipment.
j Inmates of the County Jail help-
ed, pitching hay away from the
potato storage space, BO that water
could be played on the timbers.
Barnstable and Yarmouth Police,
together with the State Police, kept
traffic under control; The spectacu-
lar fire attracted hundreds of cars
to the scene, which jammed the
roads.
The Red Cross Canteen Unit
served coffee and sandwiches, and
J. Harold Thomas was ready with
first aid equipment. No one, how-
ever, was hurt.
The barn, probabl y the largest
on the Cape was two and one-half
stories high. It was built in 1941-
1942 by prison farm labor.
Sheriff Tulloch says that replace-
ment plans are within the jurisdic-
tion of the County Commissioners.

CAPE COD AIRPORT
The past week lias been out-
standing: In the checkout depart-
ment. With two. new ships for the
students to fly, there has been a
mad scramble to fly both the PT-19
nnd the Taylorcraft. Woody Pond
of Osterville is tho first to com-
plete his checkout in the Fair-
child with Instructor Angus Perry
and fly the ship solo. Woody likes
the new ship very much, it being
his first training in heavy type
airplanes. Woody may take to the
aerobatic program later on to learn
a little more about the ship in un-
usual attitudes. Woody also flew to
Nantucket during the week to at-
tend a meeting over there. The
return trip was made the next
morning.
Harold George of Barnstable and
Robert Young of Buzzards Bay
have both started their checkout
in the Falrchild PT-19 and will
finish their dual period and log
some solo, probably this week.
Both are very enthusiastic about
the ship.
Robert Childs of Centerville ,
passed a milestone in his aviation I
career Sunday when he took the
Pipe Cub and rode with Al Sher-
man of Hyannis to get his Private
Pilot's Certificate. Bob did a swell
job, and is now ready to checkout
in the numerous ships to further
his training. He will be in on the
night flying in the very near
future, too. He was at the field
taking his first passenger for a
ride around the Cape. Victim of the
ordeal was Fred Schofleld of Cen-
terville, who came down looking
none the worse tor the experience.
Bob is now ready to check out in
some of the other ships.
William Perry of Monument |
Beach finished his checkout in the
Piper Super Cruiser and logged a
little solo time. Next thing is to
get checked out in Radio Pro-
cedure and get a liesnee for that.
John Goward of Buzzards Bay
has received the approval of the
Veterans' Administration to take
up the Commercial Pilots' Course.
He will -start his training this
week. With the new ruling, any
vetera n who desires flight training
is able to get it. Any veterans in-
terested should look Into the op-
portunity. Just drop by the air-
port for complete details.
Bill Bennett of Provincetown re-
ceived his first hour of dual iif tho
Piper Cub on floats with Instructor
Angus Perry. Bill is enrolled in
the Commercial Pilots' Course in
Provincetown , but plans to get a
water ratinn In connection with
his course.
Dr. Joel Gould of Pocasset had
his stint at the controls this week
for a change. Unfortunately, Dr.
Gould doesn't get a chance to fly
ns much as he would like, so when
he gets the ' chance he usually
makes the best of it.
Airport Manager Angus Perry
received a Multi-Engine rating
during the week with Flight Exam-
iner Alton Sherman of Hyannis.
Angus is much pleased to be able
to fly the heavier type airplanes.
Cool, clear weather predomi-
nated during the week, and with a
moon that turned the nights nearly
I into day, night flying was In order.
Harold George of Barnstable was
|the first of the season, with his
first hour of night orientation. An-
gus Perry was riding hard on the
controls in the rear cockpit of the
Piper Super Cruiser. Several other
students have made known their
desire to fly nights, and will be in
the air on their llrst flights while
there Is a moon. Later on will come
night cross-country flights, which
are always interesting.
John Goward of Buzzards Bay,
new Commercial Pilot student , re-
ceived his first taste of flying with
Instructor Angus Perry. John's first
goal is to solo, followed by obtain-
ing a Private Certificate.
The Piper Cub on floats has re-
ceived its share of attention this
week, woth two newcomers on the
list of checkouts. First is Dr. James
Leach of Hyannis, who is nearly
ready to take it around the lake
solo. Dr. Jim likes the seaplane very
much, it being quite a change from
the wheels to which he has been
accustomed. Also checking out is
John Barnard of Osterville. John is
a Commercial Pilot and is adding
the single engine sea rating to his
license. He expects to be ready for
his flight test In a couple of weeks.
