At the town meeting In March of
1946, Barnstable voted to place 30
markers In various places through-
out the town In commemoration of
the dead In both world wars. The
work Is being done under the direc-
tion of the Barnstable War Memo-
rial Committee, of which Dr. Carl
Fearing Schultz Is chairman, and
whose other members are Calvin
Crawford, Robert Cross, Herbert
Thomas, and Walter Gaffney.
The first 10 are expected to be
ready for dedication December 11,
when fitting exercises will be held
between 3 and 3:30 p.m. The oth-
ers will be ready and dedicated on
' or before next Memorial Day.
1 These 10 will be boulders with .
Inscribed bronze tablets.
Co-operating with the Committee
In these placements are Frank
Mather, commander of the I/Oglon,
and Robert Counsell , post com-
mander of the VPW.
Memorial Boulders
Dedicated Sunday
A tract of 60 acres In West
Kyannisport Harbors has changed
bands this week, according to re-
port from the office of Louis Byrne
ot Dennisport, and will be de-
veloped.
Ownership has been transferred
from Harold Clarkln 'and William
I. Fitzgeral d ta Louis A. Byrne.
Work has started on 25 houses, and
later, the plan Is to construct 25
more houses. The new colony will
carry the name of Seaside Park,
the original name of that section
between 1st and 3rd Avenues,
which for some years has been
built up. The new development will
me the area from 3rd to 7th
Avenues.
Bach house Is to have a double
lot. The houses are to be con-
structed with hard wood oak floors,
fire places, full bathrooms, porches,
and some with two, others with
three bedrooms. All will be Cape
Cod style. Cellars with heating
equipment will be a part of all
the houses, which are all for year-
'round occupancy. All the utilities
will be piped and wired to the
houses—gas, water, and light. It is
expected that the first house will
be completed in six weeks.
The houses will be priced to sell
for amounts between $6000 and
$10,000. The new owner estimates
that already a half million has been
added to the town's taxable prop-
erty, and that at the end of a year's
time this figure will amount to over
a million dollars ot additional tax-
able property.
A private beach Is planned,
which will be available to all these
houses. A new beach is being con-
structed and a new highway Is be-
.ing built.
I West Hyannisport Development Starts
Hyannis Dons Garb of Christmas Colors
Christmas must be near, for all the signs are beginning to
show. Noticeable to all frequenters of Main Street, Hyannis, has
been the installation of the Christmas street lights, with ladders,
ffjres, and bulbs much in evidence. Last evening the lights went
OB, making night-time village life colorful and gay. As before,
ghe lights are strung across Main Street in arches so that of an
evening one would think he was walking through a fairy land.
The street is so decorated from Park Square to Winter Street,
and Park Square itself is alight with color. The Town Building,
with its front illuminated with wreaths of lights, its shining
trees, and its brightly glowing outline, wears its customary
mien, due to the care of the Selectmen. The street-decorating
lights are installed by the Hyannis Board of Trade, Leo Goulet
chairman of the lights committee.
One week from tonight, December 15, Hyannis stores will
remain open, and evenings daily thereafter, until Christmas.
This announcement is issued by the Board of Trade.

Mrs. Paul M. Swift of Barnstable
has been named chairman of tho
special gifts committee for the
current campaign on Cape Cod for
funds to help further the study and
treatment of arthritis and rheuma-
tism through a national foundation ,
it has been announced by Edward
A. Barrier, chairman of the Cape
area.
Pointing out that 60 per cent of
tho funds raised here In Barnstable
County would be allocated for use
In arthritis and rheumatic work lo-
cally, Mr. Barrier said , "Capo Cod,
like the rest of New England , is
tragically ill-equipped for the care
of patients with these diseases.
Rheumatic ailments are tho most
prevalent of any in this part ot the
nation. "
Cape donors to the campaign ,
which has received the full In-
dorsement of both the Barnstable
County Medical Society and tho
County Sanatorium , should send
their contributions directly to Wul-
ter B. Chase, treasurer of tho Ar-
thritis and Rheumatism Foundation
for Cape Cod, at the Hyannis Trust
Company, Mr. Barrier said.
"In view of the pitifull y small
amount of money thus far set aside
for care of these diseases in Mas-
sachusetts alone, and because of
their prevalence right here on Capo
Cod, this campaign deserves every-
one's support," declared Dr. Arthur
J. D'Elia of Harwichport , president
of the Barnstable County Medical
Society. "The physicians of Cape
Cod are ot one mind in heartily in-
dorsing this drive,
Dr. Julius Kelley, head of the
Barnstable County Sanatorium,
said, I most certainly feel that the
Arthritis and Rheumatism Founda-
tion's drive for much needed funds
should be aided to the hilt. Cape
Codders should do their share ."
A film on the subject of the two
diseases will be shown by a physi-
cian on the Foundation 's staff in
Boston at the Cape Cod Hospital
Btaff meeting, December 15, and at
the Hyannis Rotary Club the same
day.
