..WELFARE WONDERLAND
We live in wondrous times in-
deed. In space achievements, in
communications in science, in
chemistry, fantasti c things are
happening in America. But it
would appear that this, the richest
nation in the world, is also becom-
ing something of a welfare won-
derland.
Case in point: in Ban Francisco
it is reported that a woman testi-
fied In court that she could not af-
ford to pay $118 in parking tickets
on her Cadillac because her wel-
fare checks were too low. She told
the Judge that she was paying her
$133 car Insurance in monthly in-
stallments f r o m her welfare
checks.
The Pampa , Texas News re -
ports that in New York City, a
woman and her six children were
housed at taxpayer's expense in
the Hotel President at a cost of
$2,000 per month. It seems that
their apartment had been in a con-
demned building and they were
moved by the city welfare depart-
ment when the heat and hot water
was shut off. The poor family will
probably require the services of a
welfare specialist to help them ad-
just to the shock when they are
moved (hopefully) to less luxur-
ious quarters.
Rep. R.R. Gross (R-Iowa ) cites
an interesting welfare case i 'in
Montgomery County, Maryland .
It seems that twelve people, ,six
men and six women, all on the
dole receiving unemploy m e.p t
funds, have pooled their handouts
and are living high on the hog.
They pay rent on a six - bedroom
home complete with swimming
pool and a suana steam bath.
Their income of $660 a week is
tax free, which isn't bad since
they never have to leave the house
for work. Think of the savings on
transportation costs alone !
Isolated examples? Maybe. It
is important to note, however , that
none of the examples cited is il -
legal. If some freeloaders are able
to turn welfare assistance into a
racket, others are bound to try it.
There is much talk today about the
need for "tax reform." We suggest
that there is also an urgent need
for welfare reform.

SAFE TOYS, FOR TOTS
In a rare demonstration of un-
animity the House of Representa-
tives voted 327-0 (recently) to ex-
pand the Child Protection Act of
1966, extending the ban on dan-
gerous toys to those which may
overheat, present electrical shock
hazards, possess sharp protrud-
ing edges or other injury-causing
mechanical properties.
, Designed to prohibit the sale of
toys ruled "dangerous due t o
electrical, mechanical or thermal
hazards" by the Secretary o f
Health, Education and Welfare,
the bill will affect not so much the
large, domestic t o y manufac -
turers as foreign firms which pro-
duce toys for exports, often with-
out comparable governmental re-
gulation and occasionally sacri-
ficing safety for novelty.
If the bill receives similar en -
dorsement from the Senate, as it
should, it will reveal that there
exists at least one issue - the spe-
cific protection of our children -
which can escape Congresslona )
controversy and partisanship.

LETTER TO THE BOARD
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Realtor :
. Cape Cod has enjoyed substantial growth and a sustained
building boom for some years now. These factors have been
reflected in increased fees for realtors, both from sale ojf land
iand sale of houses.
The Cape's continuing prosperity is to your benefit ' as
realtors and as residents. Its decline would be of serious con-
cern to each of you.
The Cape Cod Board of Realtors has in the past established
a basic code of ethics. It has recentl y instituted courses in real
estate. It" also has taken steps to lessen the threat of honky
tonk in certain areas of the peninsula.
. irt j j k healthy economy on Cape Cod demands these things
and the moves are to the board 's credit.
It has recently been suggested that the real estate board
consider another avenue of thought regarding this economy . .
that of putting the broad shoulder of the board to the wheel
in helping to control delinquency and vandalism now on the
rise here.
No property on Cape Cod is cheap. Land often runs $5000
a lot . Homes are rarely less than $20,000, and most are much
more. Zoning can curtail certain abuses such as overcrowding,
hut it eannot curb crime in the*streets, so to speak.
As businessmen and women interested in the welfare ' of
the Cape Cod community, a threat to property values such as
that posed by the vandalism and other malicious acts should
he of vital concern.
We sincerely hope that the Cape Cod Board of Realtors
will involve itself actively in combating a problem which , if
allowed to go unchallenged and unsolved , will sound the death
knell for a healthy real estate market on Cape Cod.

"Christmas is coming . . . Christ-
mas is here," shout the gleeful
voices of children. They look for-
ward to presents and vacations
from school to enjoy and play with
their new toys.
. •' »
However, the Massachusetts De-
partment of Public Health reminds
parents and other adults that they
must select safe toys for youngsters
to insure against mishaps or ac-
cidents that will mar Christmas-
time for a child or for his family.
To children, toys can be tools of
creative experience as well as play
things, therefore educational toys
make excellent gifts. They permit '
the child to gain new skills, develop
muscular and mental coordination
while adding 10 his store of knowl-
edge.
These are especially wise choices
for older children. For the younger
tot, it is important to think twice
befor giving a toy that has small
parts that can be taken off and
placed in the mouth , nose, or ears.
Little children love to suck and bite
on toys which means care must be
taken to select something that has
no harmful chemical painted on
.surfaces.
Some toys will definitely require
parential supervision. These in-
clude toys that require electrical
controls or have electric motors or
equipment.
Spage-age toys that have parts
that are shot off into space or con-
tain pointed, sharp projectiles can
also present danger by striking a
sensitive part of the body, such as
the eye.
Traffic safety must be a consider-
ation in the purchase of a sled or
bicycle.Ice skates, ano her popular
gift, concerns outdoor safety. Chil-
dren must be constantly cautioned
of the dangers of thin ice.
Prompt disposal of all plastic
bags or containers , in which toys
may be packed , is strongly recom-
mended; This will eliminate any
chance of a young child being suf-
focated.
Christmas Toys And Sa^pty
Judge Henry( L. Murphy, presi-
dent and Ralph B. Snow, immed-
iate past - president of Cape Cod
Hospital, have announced the ap-
pointment of Torbin F. Yates as
the director of. the office of Hosp-
ital development.
"This newly created organiza-
tional segment of the Cape Cod
Hospital," Mr. Snow said, "will
involve intensive and continuing
effort in all areas of hospital pub-
lic relations, publicity, publica -
tions and fund-raising activities."
In July of this year, a capital
fund-raising campaign with a goal
of $6 million to meet the cost of a
vitally needed expansion and im-
proved facilities program, wa s
announced.
"As of Dec. 1," Mr. Snow said,
"nearly $1,750,000 of the total goal
was in sight in outright gifts,
three-to-five-year pledges and con-
tribution commitments from more
than 1, 800 donors, representing
summer and permanent residents
of the Cape Cod community.
Individual amounts have ranged
all the way from four dollars to
$100, 000, with 101 donors in the
$1,000 - to • $100,000 range, these
latter accounting for a total com-
mitment of $556,000."
The current capital funds cam-
paign has been conducted with'
the professional,-advice of the G.
A. Brakeley & Company firm of
New York. ,
Mr. Yates, for the past several
months, has been the Brakele y
company representative in charge
of the program and will now con-
tinue the work as a full-time mem-
ber of the hospital family.
Mr. Yates completed his under-
graduate work in 1932 at the Uni-
versity of Illinois - - majoring in
business administration. He did
graduate study at Kent College of
Law, Chicago , from 1936 to 1938,
and has regularly pursued grad -
uate work at Harvard Business
School, Columbia University, Coo-
per Union and Wayne State Uni-
versity.
During World War II, he served
In the Solomon and Philippine
Islands as a Lieutenant-Comman-
der , in charge of Motor Torpedo
Boat Base B-ll.
Mrs. Yates accompanied her
husband as his , "assistant when
they both came to the Cape last
year to lay preliminary plans for
the 50th Anniversary Cape Cod
Hospital campaign.
They are now permanent resl -
dents of the community, living on
Lake Wequaquet in Centerville.
They have two sons in college.

KENNEDY EDITORIAL
Please accept my compliments
on the fine editorial entitled sim-
ply "The Heritage" concerning
the late Ambassador Joseph P.

This was a simple, straightfor-
