Patronage Is Still The Answer"
The newly-created Old Colony Commission has started to
•ith renewed vigor on rail problems. Senator Edward C.
¦ "
of New Bedford has been elected chairman. The Recess"
¦
"'mission includes also Senator Edward C. Stone. Senator
if
1
is a member of two sub-committees: Statistics and Rec-
U and Public Relations. A second meeting of the whole Com-
¦ S n which comprises 14 members, was scheduled for today.
^Un
'der consideration with the State Department of Public
r Tties lies the railroad's petition for a fare increase, the public
• a on which closed October 5. Those who use the trains
towed in their testimony a willingness to pay higher fares. Sen.
lone appeared before the Department at the hearing and urged
h t some allowance, at least, be made for summer profits and
freight profits sustained by the railroad.
A self-propelled diesel car with a capacity of 90 passengers
been built by the Budd Manufacturing Company and was
hibited to the public on a trial run to Woods Hole about two
'
eeks ago. Those who had a sample ride on the coach expressed
"faction in its performance. This kind of rail coach may be
the solution for winter rail service on the Woods Hole Branch.
Indeed the railroad company itself hopes it may prove to be
the solution on many New England routes for low-cost, short-
Uul passenger service. Senator Stone has expressed himself as
turning ,hat tne self-propelled car has real possibilities for us
and may figure large in solving the transportation problem not
jn/y on the Old Colony, but on other lines as well. He thinks
a careful investigation"of this coach model will be most worth
It will not be surprising if the South Station purchase comes
up again for consideration , says our senator, in spite of the
failure of the bill during the last legislative session to obtain
the necessary two-thirds vote in the House. The matter need
tot be considered dead, at least until the present attitude of the
rattroads is learned.
But to all these difficulties and complications, in the last
analysis, "patronage is still the answer." If the people of the
territory will keep this in mind and "use the railroad to an in-
creasing extent, we shall continue to have service."

At a meeting of the Committee on Restoration in the vestry
of the 1717 Meetinghouse at West Barnstable on Friday eve-
ning, October 7, it was voted to form a corporation with tho
above name. After a long discussion it was voted that the
purpose of tho corporation is "to«
preserve the West Parish Meet-
inghouse In tho Town of llnrnstii-
bleou Cape Cod, Massachusetts , as
a historic memorial of early Amer-
ica and Americans, and In further-
ance of (his end to Improve, re-
pair , alter, restore, and maintain
i llio present 1717 structure"
Those present signed us Incor-
porators and a committee was ap-
pointed to nominate officers.
Mr. Traysor dtsoilssod tho text
of an appeal for funds now in near-
ly final form for the printer, Mr.
Howard lllneltley presented tho
possibilities for individual arid
family memorials, mentioning pews ,
pulpit , deacon 's seat, windows ,
oven the galleries and tho tower
that will carry the weather cock
and the Itovoro bell.
The work of the Committee lias
already brought to light forgotten
local history. Since Incorporation
of tho parish itsolf seemed wise,
an earlier mooting had asked Mr.
Ellis, chairman of the committee ,
to prepare necessary articles of In-
corporation. An item in the will of
Col. .lames Otis written in 1774
decided him to do n hit of research
In tho archives at tho State House,
This Horn slated, "1 give and bo-
ineath _nnto tho Wost Church of
Ohrlst In 13nrnstuble of which I am
a member the sum of tlfty four

poration or their HuccosBors for-

Mr. Hills found that in 1710 the
West Parish In Barnstable had
been Incorporated and that an Act
or I7K(! had reaffirmed the Act of
the colonial Legislature, Division of

ishes occupies much spaoe in Town

six leading causes of ficldtflts^rs:
excessive speed , violating "th»
right of wny, driving under the
influence of alcohol, driving on the
wrong side of the road, improper
pussing and turning, and disre-
garded officer or traffic control
device.
There 1B a simple cure for all
these traffic "ailments" says Chief
Lawes. Be sure you have the right
i of way and uBe It cautiously. Drive
to the extreme right and don't
"ride" tho other fellow's rear
bumper. He may make a quick
stop and you are bound to hit him,
In making a right turn stay ns
near the curb as possible , and In
making a left ono go to loft of the
center |of the /Intersection and
signal your Intent to do so. Above
all, stop your speeding! Drive
safely always particularly in heavy
traffic and on the open road.

¦Joyous Festival Marks Cranberry Harvest
October 8, Saturday, was Cape
Cod's own day, the day when the
ranberry, Cape Cod's own berry,
IOUS sway. For the day was
narked by a jolly Cranberry Fes-
Ival , the second annual observ-
mce which bids fair • to continue
mil grow to a big, annual national
iccaslon.
.Massachusetts ranks first among
he five cranberry-producing
ales, Wisconsin second, and then
illow New Jersey, Washington,
Iregnn , In that order. Accruing
:o a bulletin from the " united
States Department of Agriculture,
the total cranberry crop from the
United States for 1949 Is estimated
al B05,000 harrelB , of which 510,000
come from Massachusetts, 180,000
from Wisconsin , 58,000 from New
Jersey, 41,500 from Washington,
Mid 15,500 from Oregon.
In the country as a whole and In
each of fhese f ive states except
New Jersey and Oregon, the 1949
cranberry crop Is smaller than in
1948, but larger than the 10-year
average during the years 1938-
1947. In New Jersey, this year's
|crop is less than the average
quoted , while in Oregon, the crop
for 1949 exceeds that of 1948. In
.other respects, these states fol-
low the pattern outlined.
Most of these cranberry-growing
states stage their own cranberry
festivals and select and crown
their own cranberry queens. The
Massachusetts Festival, however,
is the big national celebration, and
here the National Queen la chosen
and given crown and sceptre.
Although territory of our state
adja cent to Cape Cod is part of
the cranberry country, Cape Cod 1
is romantically, at least, the home
of the little red berries, and is so
associated with them, or they with
her, in the minds of the people.
Indeed , in some quarters, Cape Cod
