HasGood Response
From two addresses that were
given at the dedication exercises of
the Service Men's Memorial
Plaque, held November 27 at the
Marstons Mills Village Green, we
are happy to quote here a few ex-
cerpts worthy ot remembrance,
with regret that lack of sufficient
space forbids our publishing the
addresses in full .
From Selectman Chester A.
Crocker:
How vividly we remember those
terrible years of war, nearly all of
our young men were scattered
over the face of the earth, on the
seas, in the air, and on the land.
How strange and still was our
little village , and how we waited
with bated breath and fearfu l ap-
prehension as we listened for news
on the radio, eagerly scanned the
papers for news from Guadacanal ,
the Philippines, Japan, and count-
less other places of critical conflict
in the Pacific, in North Africa,
Italy, France or Germany, tor
wherever there was deadly action,
there were Marstons Mills men.
Now as we contemplate and pon-
der upon the extremely grave prob-
lems facing humanity in our own
country and throughout the world ,
we realize ever more and more as
the days go by that although we
feel safe for the present, liberty
and individual freedom as we Icnow
it still hangs in the balance.
These young men have taken up
the thread of civil life again and
are raising families of their own.
They carried a grievous and pain-
ful burden for us through the aw-
ful war, and upon them still rests
a heavy burden, for we older ones
and the coming generation must
look to them for leadership, for
they, above all others, know , as
no one else can possibly compre-
hend how pitifully frail and thin is
the veneer which we are pleased
- to call civilization.
They have seen and experienced
grim war In all Its terrible aspects.
They saw at first hand the deli-
cate fabric of civilization torn
asunder and a hell burst forth
which threatened all that makes
life of any value whatever.
The laws of nature are inexor-
able and brutal; in human nature
there is no exception. But for ages
men have striven to restrain it and
cover It over with a thin veneer
of civilization.
Our present freedom and liberty
is the result of centuries of blood
and struggle by man to restrain
the brutality inherent In human na-
ture and the issue is always in
Jeopardy.
Experience is the best teacher
and our veterans have acquired a
knowledge which but few people
ar capable of learning from schools
or books.
That is why we are leaning so
heavily on them at this very mo-
ment.
Upon them we must depend now
(or leadership In seeing to it that
proper men are chosen to make,
administer and enforce the laws
necessary to govern human conduct.
But we have a deep and abiding
faith that our heroic veterans who
did not fail us in our recent hour
of extreme peril , will not fail now
to assume the responsibility of
leadership which they and they
alone can bear.
From Sheriff Donald P. Tulloch :
The village of Marstons Mills is
to be congratulated for this fine
memorial to those who have given
so much of themselves to preserve
for you and me those priceless
rights which are guaranteed under
our Constitution. It is particularly
fitting that a memorial of this de-
sign should be erected here. This
simple boulder with its neat and
attractive plaque fits in so well
with the atmosphere of quiet dig-
nity which makes Marstons Mills,
and Cape Cod as a whole, so ap-
pealing.
Whenever I attend ceremonies of
this kind I cannot help but think of
the deeper significance behind
them. Actually we are not here
merely to look upon this boulder ,
admire the design and workman-
ship of the plaque, or Just to watch
the colorful ceremony so ably per-
formed by these men and women
in uniform. To be sure, we are here
to pay our respects to those fine
service men and women whose
names appear on this plaque, but
I like to feel that there is still an-
other purpose for which we are
gathered here, and that Is to re-
mind us again of the phrase which
has been repeated so often : "Eter-
nal vigilance is the price of liberty. "
This IB true now more than ever
before. No matter what comes, we
must preserve our national birth-
right; liberty of thought and educa-
tion, of the press and free assem-
bly, and equal justice for all under
the law. This is the democratic
way of life these men and women
fought so hard to defend.
Here on Cape Cod we still enjoy
the basic form of home rule: the
town meeting. Here each citizen
has an opportunity to get on his
feet and express his individual
opinion of how his community
should be governed.
We must strive to maintain our
dignity as individuals. The Impor-
tance of the Individual is the basis
of the American way of life. The
more of our freedoms we give up
to the state, the more we become
Slavs to that state, and the nearer
we get to totalitarianism or dic-
tatorship.
So, as we look upon this monu-
ment today, let us remember the
great sacrifice made by those to
whom it is a memorial. Let us re-
member how successfully and glo-
riously they defended the Ameri-
can way ot life. Then let us reflec t
upon what we as individuals can
do and will do to Insure that our
government "of the people, by the
people and for the people shall not
perish from the earth."

A Marketing Survey
The Island of Martha 's Vineyard completed this fall a mar-
ket survey of its agriculture resources, trade, and possibilities.
The survey results showed some remarkable findings.
The object was to determine where the Island Community
stood as to food stuffs imported to the Island, food stuffs pro-
duced on the Island, and food consumed by the Islanders. After
obtaining this information , the next step was to see why all food
in the line of fruits, vegetables, poultry, and eggs needed for
consumption could not be raised locally.
The survey uncovered the fact that $600,000 worth in these
products was being brought to the Island annually, figured on
the basis of 1949 wholesale prices,—products that could be
raised on the Island itself. The Vineyard Gazette from which we
obtained our information, stated editorially, ". . . the doleful
individuals who say that there isn't any way of making a living
around here are certainly out of touch with reality."
An article in the same paper gave specific figures, as fol-
lows: in fresh fruits and vegetables the Island imported over
the period of a year 60,000 bushels, with an estimated wholesale
value of $225 ,000; in poultry and eggs, it imported 180,000
pounds,—estimated wholesale value, $100,000.At the same time,
Island producers were shipping part of their products to the
mainland.
The survey was undertaken by an expert, who was engaged
for the task by the local committee. The work was financed with
funds contributed by 10 Island individuals, supplemented by a
federal appropriation under the Research and Marketing Ad-
ministration of the U. S. Department of Agriculture. The idea of
having the survey made came from the local men, who contacted
the State Commissioner of Agriculture, who, in turn , suggested
the available federal funds.
Cape Cod needs and is desirous of having some new light
industries established here.
Would not such a survey be a good start? Why not deter-
mine trade leakages here? We are undoubtedly importing from
across the bridges much, very much, that could and should be
produced here. If so there must be parties experienced and
willing to take up such work, if shown the opportunities.
Furthermore, agricultural production is a basic industry,
springing directly from the soil; it is germane to Cape Cod ; it
was formerly pursued here to a far greater extent than now,
having to a considerable degree been crowded out by the busi-
ness of catering to the summer trade.
Other surveys may be in order, but a marketing survey
might be productive of a head start.

by Osrs J. Hallett
This is your local station, 213 Ocean No K.
Years ago I read the Hoosier School Master by Edward
Eggleston. It was such a contrast to anything we knew on
Cape Cod that I found it most amusing and unreal. Lately 1
have been reviewing it briefly and it seems more crude than ever.
Civilization has jcertainly ad-
vanced and schools today would
seem like halls of fame lo those
backwoods • men, women and chil-
dren. In that particular school
"lickln' and larnln'" went hand-in-
hand—"no llckln*. no larnln'." The
spelling bee and the shucking of
corn were the natural games in
competition in Hoopole County.
At the spelling bee Squire Haw-
kins, who usually gave out the
words, used to say "Pupils may not
know the meaning of a single word
but that's of no consequence. What
do you want to know the meaning
of a word for? Words were made to
be spelled and men were created
that they might spell them."
The Squire was a character. I
think the author put It on rather
thick when he gave him so many
handicaps—a glass eye that wan-
dered around in all directions, he
had no control over that; two sets
of shining teeth that seemed to be
playing hide and seek, and a wig
that no longer matched his under
chin whiskers which he dyed, and
it was just as likely to be at a
rakish angle on the side of his
head as in the proper place on top.
His spectacles were always drop-
ping off , enough to try the patience
of Job. A boy wrote home to his
mother, "Mighty mean men get in
office here,"
There was also a Miss Martha
Hawkins, the Squire's niece, who
who once went on a Journey to
Boston—everything from that time
on dated from that historic event
as we date back to the hurricane
of 1944. Miss Martha said she was
emaciated last year and the doctor
told her "to dig In the elements."
It's good for the health to "dig In
the elements", so she got herself
a "florial" hoe and dug and "it's
been most excellent for me", she
said.
I remember when we nad spell-
ing matches in the old Masonic
Hall. The best spellers were, of
course, selected first and the poor
ones fell in on the tall end ot the
I line. When you missed a word you
sat down In confusion. When the
lines dwindled to two or three the
excitement ran high. At the Hoo-
sier School two pupils were chosen
to see who would have first choice
of spellers. One fellow threw a
stick which the other one caught
I and held It where he caught It, then
I they alternately put one hand
¦ above the other until there was no
j room for another hand—that fellow
I had first choice. Sometimes they
would do that here.
There were some queer charac-
ters in the book, Bud the {lighter ,
and the Bull dog; and the man
who thought he was General An-
drew Jackson, whose head was
shot off at "Bony Vlsty "; the one
they put on was "tater" on one
side, when he talked out of that
i side he was not responsible for
what he said. The school master
was no fighter , but he had a way
. to get the best of every one, his
pupils, In particular, and won at
last. Teachers had to board around
and that was uncomfortable
enough. At one place the master
had to go out of doors and climb
a ladder to get into his room. No
place for stairs in the house, but
that was not all , he shared a bed
In the attic with one of the boys
who was supposed to have half of
it—not so good as he usually took
his half in the middle.
While looking over this book, I
was interested in something Miss
Elolse Crocker told me about her
father, Mr. Franklin Crocker. Of
course, I cannot go into details, as
we talked about it from time to
time or it would be too long for
this column, hut I will mention
some special items of interest In
my own way that will be news to
many people.
Although Mr. Crocker was born
In Barnstable and a dyed-in-the-
wool Cape Codder, he had Ideas
In those clays when the slogan was
"Young man go West", and he
longed to follow that trail. His
grandfather , Loring Crocker, had
bought about 1G9 acres of land
some five miles from Carlisle, Ill-
inois. He gave it to his son, Frank-
lin, as his share of the estate
when he found he would like to go
out there and develop it. In 1857
in his early twenties , Mr. Crocker
went forth to make his way in
what to him was a brave new
world. On his arrival he found his
plans could not be carried out at
once, so as a teacher was needed
for the school in that community,
a friendly man from the south per-
suaded him to take it. His experi-
ence was similar to that of the
Hoosier school teacher, but his
boys were not unruly In the same
way. He had not trained for teach-
ing, but he decided he was equal
to this job and he proved to be.
Once he told a barefooted boy
it he did a certain thing again, he
"would shake him out of his boots."
"Guess that Yankee can't shake a
barefooted boy out of his boots",
said the boy—an ingenious kid. I
think Mr. Crocker got a lot of fun
out of the boys. Two of the larger
girls chose to study algebra and
rhetoric. He had studied algebra,
but he knew nothing about rhetoric
but the girls were not much better
Informed , go he knew he «n„M
study and keep In advance of than
He took a very subtle way of ac-
complishing this, but I cannot ex-
plain it here. It worked, however.
Pupils were ot all ages; the slm-
pllest words were too much (or
some of them to spell. What does
c a t spell, he asked a amall boy.
He didn't know, "oh, yes you do,"
he said, "you have one at home—it
catches mice." "Mouse trap", cried
out the boy.
When he left the school and be-
gan to develop his farm land he
took a great interest in the com-
munity and made friends. When
a church was to be built he asked
the owner of the adjoining rectory,
a Boston lawyer, to give his corn
crop. The farmer harvested the
corn and carted It to the station
free of charge, the railroad trans-
ported It free of .
charge to Chicago,
the owner of the grain elevator
stored and sold It free of charge.
The original owner thought "the
Lord could make more money from
his harvest than he could." He car-
ried on the farm work for about!
five years, then came home for a
visit. He met and became engaged
to Miss Angela Hinckley of Hy-
nis Port. Returning to Illinois he
built a nice house tor their future
home and on his next visit In 1865
they weer married at her father's
home (Mr. Warren Hinckley) at
the Port. He had to leave his bride
here for a while but arrangements
were made for her to join him a
little later. Life in the West was
very primitive—no electricity, no
telephones, and they were miles
away from a railroad. When she
arrived she had to wait until some
farmer or some team was going
out that way. Life for them was
filled with new experiences they
never could forget. Her father and
mother, Mr. and Mrs. Warren
Hinckley, made them one visit, so
wonderful for those so-called old
people to do, and so the years flew
by.
In 1874 they came home for good
and the farm was sold eventually.
Later Elolse was born at her
grandfather's home at the Port, but
Mr. Crocker soon began to take
an active part in the life of the
Cape. He bought the Horace Lor-
ing house on Main Street for a per-
manent home. When Main street
began to be changed to a business
section this house was moved to
Ridgewood where it now stands.
The houses of Mrs. Ora Hinckley
and Mrs. Emily Stevens were also
moved away to make room for i
business blocks. Mr. Crocker acted
as salesman for a number of com-
panies. He entered the cranberry
industry and had several bogs
built. He sent a large sod from one
of his bogs to Baltimore In 1888 to
some exhibit. It had a lot of vines
with clusters of berries on them
showing how a bog under cultiva-
tion must look. This was quite a
novel idea and attracted much In-
terest and attention.
He had two very special inter-
ests, one was to have the State
Normal school located in Hyannis,
the other to have the Pilgrim Mon-
ument erected in Provlncetown. He
devoted himself wholeheartedly to
this work serving with other earn-
est men of the Cape. In fact, he*
lived a full life accomplishing what
he set out to do If he found it was
for a worthy cause. We often for-
get in the changing life of today
what people now gone have done
for Cape Cod when Its future de-
pended on them and the decisions
they made.

Autumn is a rose done blooming,
Petals fading, soon to fall ,
As the blighting winter looming
Carries fate it can 't forestall.
Autumn weeps no tears of sadness,
"Why " she asks, "should humans mourn,
Who might better think with gladness,
Spring will see this rose reborn?"
Lois Grant Palettes, Osterville
