Cape Cod Peace Action Group Formed
Barnstable Teachers' Association
has announced an increase to $500
for the annual scholarship award-
ed to a Barnstable High School
graduating senior.
For the first time since the es-
tablishment of a scholarship fund
by the organization in the early
1950*s, the June , 1970 scholarship
will be paid solely from the inter-
est on the fund , the ultimate goal
of the original trustees, John Kil-
coyne, M. Louise Hayden and
Bertha Newcomb.
Building of a fund large enough
to be self-sustaining has progress-
ed over the years through the ef-
forts of the teachers' organlzatiion
In sponsoring style shows, plays,
book fairs, the Funtastics, and an
annual group Christmas Greeting
in lieu of Christmas cards. The
last of these events has been
given impetus by Superintendent
Harvard H. Broadbent.
The scholarship is only one of
the continuing supports given by
the Association in the area of the
student's growth in the respon-
sibilities of citizenship. At a time
when these responslbiliiU.es are
being both re-defined and chal-
lenged , it is encouraging to note
that recognition of the develop-
ment of citizenship traits by the
BTA begun in 1940 when the organ-
ization adopted the recommenda-
tions for annual Citize n s h i p
Awards, the first of which were
awarded in June, 1941.
Originally the Citiz e n s h i p
Award , a certificate and pin , went
to the student in each village ele-
mentary school who had success-
fully completed sixth grade and
best exemplified the good ciiti-
zen. A simlilar award has been
given yearly to a Barnstable High
School graduating senior, separate
from the scholarship.
As the school population in-
creased, the elementary award
was extended to include a single
student in each sixth grade in the
town. Finally, in 1968, the award,
in the form of a certificate, de-
signed by the students of the high
school art department, was pre-
sented to each sixth grader meet-
ing the award requirements for
the three preceding years.
Since 1941 nearly 250 Citizen-
ship Awards have gone to out-
standing sixth graders in the
seven elementary schools, and 29
have been awarded to seniors.
Eight citizenship traits receive
consideration at each elementary
grade level in evaluating which
students perform best in all of
their associations wlith fellow-
pupils and teachers. There traits
are cooperation , courtesy, industry,
judg ment, loyally, reliability, self-
control , and truthfulness.
Each year teachers acquaint the
pupils with the plan for the Citi-
zenship Award and its basis, and
then endeavor to help each child
make these traits habitual.
The traits have been incorpor-
ated into the term report of the
elementary school so that parents
can judge their own child's growth
in citizenship from grade to grade.
BUILDERS MEET NOV. 18
Cape Cod Builders and Contrac-
tors Association meet Nov. 18 at
0:30 p.m. at Riverway Lobster
House, South Yarmouth.
Extension of a non- conform-
ing use for premises located on
Craigville Beach Road was grant-
ed Hyannis Building and Develop-
ing Associates in a decision recent-
ly handed down by Barnstable Ap-
peals Board.
The decision is hardly one to
please some residents of Center-
ville who objected to the Pender-
gast association adding a 12 by
15-foot room to each of its four
cottages in the Residence B zone
of the village during the Oct. 22
hearing.
The cottages were built prior
to the adoption of zoning and con-
tained a single bedroom. The liv-
ing rooms have, with the increas-
ing need for family accommoda-
tions, been adapted for use as
sleeping and eating areas. The ad-
ditional bedroom at the rear of
each unit would be built on cement
piers and new cesspool facilities
would be installed in accordance
with board of health requirements.
Living rooms would be returned to
their normal use.
The appeals board, in granting
the special permit, stated that the
addition of a bedroom to the
facilities which have existed at the
location for 25 years without
change would not be detrimental
to the area nor would it increase
the burden of occupancy since the
living rooms now used as bed-
rooms would be eliminated.
A variance was awarded Charles
Rogers and Edison Marney for
permission to construct shops for
building and allied trades in a
Residence D2 zone on Osterville
West Barnstable Road at Mar-
stons Mills.
The land lies some 200 feet from
the intersection of Route 28 and
in the board's opinion is unique
because of the encumbrance of the
transmission lines and proximity
to existing non-conforming uses
and the dump.
The petitioners who are contrac-
tors would occupy one of the shops
and other units would be rented to
persons in simlliar trades. A plum-
ber and landscaper have already
Indicated interest In occupying
units in the four proposed which
would be Included in a 50 by 108-
foot building.
A special permit was granted to
H. Wesley Coleman to build an
addition to his package store
located at Park Suare, Hyannis.
Though in a Residence A. zone,
the store has operated without
substantial structural change for
many, many years—first as a
small grocery store and later In
Its present capacity. Room is need-
ed at the rear for storage and a
working area. As proposed, it
would still leave some 30 feet be-
tween the Coleman building and
the abutting building.
The board considered the peti-
tioner 's request a reasonable ex-
tonslon of the non-conforming
use.
Teachers Increase Scholarship Award
A public hearing will Be held by
the Town of Barnstable Charter
Commission at 8 p.m. Monday,
Nov. 17, in the Barnstable High
School Auditorium to discuss the
charter proposed for adoption by
the town.
The public is urged to attend.
Robert L. Childs, doing business
as Childs Moving and Storage, has
applied to the state for a permit
to be a public warehouseman in
Hyannis.
Just as It's an ill wind , so too
the long drizzle we have experi-
enced in the last many days has
done some good. For the first
time the baby herring are coming
from Wequaquet into Long Pond—
a thrill for those who have work-
ed so hard on the runs iin the past
few years.
Badly needed repair work to the
exterior of Barnstable Conserva-
tion headquarters in West Barn-
stable is underway at long last.
The building, an historic site be-
cause it was a former selectmen's
office , will get some paint, door-
way reconstruction and other re-
habilitation in the- next few
months.
TOV/N TOPICS
Ty Ranta gets pretty "shook"
when something happens contrary
to the true concepts of conserva-
tion. Thus, the senseless shooting
of a rare ana* beautiful mute
swan left him quaking considerab-
ly.
The town's conservation officer
showed us the body of the snowy
white bird , mutilated about the
neck and shoulders wilth shotgun
pellet wounds, early this week.
Sunday evening Ty had had a call
from Mrs. Irving Hadsell saying
that a swan was floundering about
in Rushy Marsh, apparently in
some trouble. It could still swim
however . The Cotuit woman, an
ardent conservationist and bird
lover , was most concerned.
Since the hour was late and
darkness had long since fallen, it
was early Monday morning that
Officer Randta searched a n d
located the big 24-pound bird near
the bank of Rushy Marsh, dead
irom the wounds Inflicted by the
unknown hunter.
Mute swans, unlike the Canadian
Ljoose are pure white with oranpe
bills and black-gray legs. They
make little if any noise save for
the wills ling of their tremendous
wings which spread some seven
feet when flying. ,
This swan is protected by Mas-
sachusetts state laws, the fine for
lulling one ranging from $50 to
$200.
A bird answering the description
Df the hapless male mute swan
ivas reported in the Long Pond
irea of Centerville the middle of
last week. Whether it was the
;ame bird or not remains a ques-
ion which will not be answered.
Mr. Ranta told the Patriot this
iveek that he has known of only 3
;uch swans in the town during the
many years he has tramped the
woods and shores here—a single
bird in the marshes of Hyannis
Port and a pair around Mystic
Lake.
The shooting of such a beauti-
ful and scarce waterfowl seems
unforgivable and completely irre-
sponsible. Officer Ty Ranta has
Justifiable reason to be "very
shook" about the weekend inci-
dent.
Mute Swan Victim Of Gunshot Wounds
Members of Hyannis Junior Wo-
man's Club plan to sponsor a Cape-
wide seminar on drug abuse.

mittee and Special Officer Bernard

partments, former drug addicts,

tails on the program will be
