The Search For Noah's Ark
In Radio Beams last week, Miss Hallett, the author, spoke
of the recent exploratory trip to Mt. Ararat in search of the
remains of Noah's Ark. Since no trace was found , the author of
Radio Beams concluded , very sensibly, that the search was too
brief and that whatever might have been left would now be
covered with the debris of centuries.
Miss Hallett has opened up a very interesting subject, one
upon which we may throw further light from a recent article
read elsewhere.
The search for the Ark's remains was unsuccessful because,
in all probability , it was made in the wrong place. The explorers
went to Mt. Ararat in Armenia on the Turkish-Russian
frontier.
Mt. Ararat in Armenia has been called up to a recent date
Mt. Massis, so that this was not Mt. Ararat when the Bible told
the story. The Ark was said to come to rest on the Mountains
of Ararat, which were located in Afghanistan. The Mountains
of Ararat were the Himalaya Mountains, upon whose peaks the
Ark rested. These are the highest mountain peaks of the earth ,
and they were covered 30 feet or more by the Flood waters.
Mt. Ararat in Armenia would have been useless for the purpose ,
since its peak would have been far below the surface of the
Flood. The Ark , with its draft of a little over 30 feet , would
have cleared this peak and not been able to rest upon- it.
The ancient name of the high tablelands of Tibet was the
Mountains of Ararat. The word Tibet comes from a Hebrew
root which is used in the Bible for the Ark of Noah.
Indian legends refer to the patriarchs who descended from
Arya-Varta in the northern highlands of Kashmir to replenish
the earth , Arya-Varta being a name which is another form of
Ararat.
Further , the first migration following the Flood is recorded as
coming from the east to the plains of Shinar, in the valley of
the River Euphrates. A map will show Armenia to be north, but
Kashmir east of this place, another point indicating the loca-
tion of the true Mt. Ararat which was the resting place of
Noah's Ark.
Kashmir , the name, means "Keeper of Secrets" and so it has
been that from time immemorial this northern part of India
has been a place of mysterious science.
A search of old geographies and maps would, no doubt , throw
much light on this and other ancient stories.
It is true that the Ark, if and when found , will doubtless be
buried under snow and ice in those high plateaux of the moun-
tainous land of Tibet.

A new housing development is
nearing completion in Hyannis
which will furnish homes tor 120
families.
Located at the junction of Route
28 and Bearse's Way, the colony
is in a setting of modern land
planning, with parking areas; play
areas eeiuipped with swings, sand
boxes, and other playthings dear
to the hearts of children; trees,
shrubbery, and lawns; paved
streets and walks, the former
curved to prevent fast driving
through the grounds.
Cape Cod style architecture has
been followed in all 60 houses,
each of which is a duplex, housing
two families. The houses are con-
structed with one, two, and three
bedrooms, dining room, kitchen ,
and bathroom. All are equipped
witli a radiant heating system.
Designed and built by the Kelly
Corporation of Arlington , the de-
velopment has been named "Hlra-
mar", a coined name.
One of the houses has been
designated the "model" and was
opened on Sunday, October 30 to
the public to examine, and is open
every day from one o'clock until
dark.
A preview was given October 27
for specially invited gueBts, who
included CJeorge Cahlll , Massachu-
setts State director of the Federal
Housing Administration ; Walter
Whalen, chief underwriter and

ing Administration ; and local
guests, some of whom were the
Barnstable Selectmen, and repre-
sentatives from the following town

THESE WOMEN!
Town of Barnstable
Cape Cod
November 3, 1949
Dear Theodosia :
Had a brief call yeBterday from
my friend , William Watson Holmes,
or "Bill", as we all call him. He
was all perked up, freshl y shaved
and with a recent hair cut, look-
ing spic and span as can be.
Looking much pleased with
events in general , he told me he
had just returned from New Hamp-
shire, from a ten days' visit on a
farm. Here he saw cows and plenty
of cows, for the farm he visited
was a milk farm. There were also
rabbits.
Bill said he found New Hamp-
shire quite different from Cape
Cod, the air more bracing, although
it was warm all the time he was
there. Then, the views into the
distance were longer and vistas
more spacious. And It seemed good
to see cows and other animals
around and the land being farmed
more extensively. He had plenty
of fresh milk to drink , which he
liked.
The farmer sent his regards to
several of us, Bill's friends on Cape
Cod, although never having seen
them. But it was pleasant to be
remembered in this way, just the
same.
It is nice that Bill could get
away on a trip like that , for he is
around here all the time. It is
good for all of us to take little
outings here and there.
Your loving
Aunt Jane

This is your local Station 2130eean, No K.
Last week while my cousin Alice L. Hinckley of Boun
was spending her vacation with me, we were invited to ft
Anne Standish Restaurant for "Luncheon With Your Neich
bors " and to enjoy the little program given each week at 2-or
P.M. which is broadcast each Wednesday night over WOCP
at 8:00 o'clock.
The Anne Standish Restaurant
IB a new building recently built in
West Yarmouth and is up to date
in every detail. West Yarmouth is
really getting on the map now.
Years ago it was a quiet, sleepy
place, a small village, where life
went on with very littl e change
from year to year. I often wish
certain people could see the
changes that come to their home
town as the years go by . ¦ • new
houses, dance halls, bowling alleys,
skating rinks, large fruit stands,
laundries, post office, prize fight-
ing, restaurants . . . overnight
camps, all kinds of supplies—autos,
gas, etc. All things made new.
In case you have not been to the
Anne Standish Restaurant it is
finished inside with knotting pine
and looks and smells fresh and
piney. The first thing that meets
your eye as you enter the front
door is the painting of Lewis Bay
by Vernon Coleman . . . at the
back of the long room. The blue
waters of the bay, the clear sky—
(the old fish shanties at the left
now gone forever)—Daisy Bluff , and
boats of different kinds at the
right of the picture make it seem
very real to those who have known
the bay all their lives. Farther on
at the right is a painting featuring
Iyanough and other Indians and
white children in littl e boats, a
friendly scene. Indians once on a
time appeared to be scantily
dressed, but now to see him stand-
ing there In the painting he would
fit in very nicely with the men
and women of today who appear on
our beaches in summer. He could
even go some of them one better,
they have nothing they could de-
cently take off , but he has feathers
to spare. There are other paintings
by Mr. Coleman but those I cannot
speak of here as the room was
crowded to capacity and we had to
remain seated at the opposite end
of the building for our luncheon
/and the program.
' I feel sure all Cape Codders re-
joice that Vernon Coleman can live
in his home town and be so highly
appreciated, and that his work,
especially his paintings of old and
new Cape Cod scenes, will be treas-
ured here not only today but for
future dwellers on the Cape to see
something of its past. We have no
talent to lose.'Let us Bee to it that
all of our people who have any
special gifts may have a chance to
have them developed.
The idea for these programs that
have been given in many towns
and villages, all started from Tom
Breneman's "Breakfast in Holly-
wood" and have proved to be en-
tertaining and profitable.
I had my first orchid from him.
I used to joke and say, "1 want to
live long enough to win an orchid."
Well , I have. The program here*
went on during the luncheon. I
think it would be lesB confusing
and more effective if it came on
afterward , but we were all en-
treated to have fun sol think every
one did. Mr. Charles Dossong was
master of ceremonies here and
kept things lively with his cheery
chatter. Merchants , tradesmen of
many stores and companies con-
tributed generously all kinds of ar-
ticles for prizes to be given to the
youngest and oldest persons who
were there—for people who could
do certain things, etc. The one from
the greatest distance got a free
lunch. Cars were washed and put
In order; somebody had a perma-
nent wave coming to them; candy,
flowers, Venetian blinds, newannj
per subscription, perfumes .
great variety of things, i was th
"

1 received a beautiful white orchw
with a touch of yellow in the cen
ter. This Is my third orchid. My
second orchid was presented to me
when I took part in the broadcast
to England — between Barnstaple
over there and our Barnstable on
Cape Cod. That was a thrllii*,,,
event . . . a red letter day in 0l£
own history. Collecting orchids |g
not a very profitable hobby or l
could go about and gather in quite
a few.

ready, it seems to me.
Of course they would not care
for an orchid—but how about a
tobacco pouch or jar—or gloves a
robe or even a "hanky." it seems
to be easier for females to get jobs
these days than for those of the
opposite sex. Are we headed toward
masculine women and feminine
men? People seem to like a change
Poem Wanted—"Sleeping at the
Foot of the Bed." Anybody know
anything about that one?
Jack Benny is complaining about
the "grim business ot humor,"
Well , the grim business of humor
on the radio is the everlasting ha,
ha, ho, ho and roars of boisteroug
laughter that follows every sentence
spoken and only take up half ot
the program but destroys all pleas-
ure in it to listeners outside of the
studio. Sometimes you have to shut
It off. I am not referring to his pro-
gram altogether, there are ever so
many others.
Why doesn't somebody complain
of that. Mr. Bryson wrote me If
enough people wrote in about It,
something would be done. Go to It.

GOBLIN8 AND WITCHES
On Monday night all the Goblins
and Witches which have been in
hiding reappeared suddenly. Boys
and girls of all ages clamored to
be the first people to yell the fa-
miliar wordB "Trick or Treat" in
their neighbors' ears and then run
when victims found soap on their
windows.
Of course there were a few ex-
ceptions to this, but most pranks
only made people angry. A very
dose listener with sharp eyes
might have witnessed these events
In their neighborhood on Monday
night.
AH you look down the road you
might suddenly see a fence or a
log appear and act as a temporary
road block to annoy motorists. Next
a hissing sound Is heard and the
car across the street slowly sags
down to the wheel rims.
A short while later a tingling is
heard and we assume that someone
lues pressed their soap a little too
hard on some window.
One by one signs gather In front
of your house and are thrown up
on the porch roof. Soon the patrol
car comes along down the road
and runs into the nicely set-up road
block. Searchlights are trained on
the nearby woods but no one is seen
although the whole gang is lying
down and hoping they are not
caught. After this the gang slowly
breaks up and one by one the
pranksters retire to their beds —
And so it was and always will be.
