SELECTMEN'S REPORT
Fellow Citizens:
You will find in this book a record of the annual Town
Election in March 1944 and of the subsequent Town Meeting.
when only a few voters assembled but those that did acted
as careful prudent men and women thoroughly imbued
with a spirit of the seriously sober judgment so necessary +
to be guided by now in these terrible times.
Your Selectmen are confident that citizens who will
carefully peruse the contents of this book will be satisfied
that all their chosen officials, whether elected by them or
appointed by the Selectmen have been faithful to the trust
you have reposed in them.
It has been a hard year for public officials, one filled
with difficult problems, care, and anxiety, but no harder
certainly than staggering burdens being borne by nearly
all private citizens in their struggle to make an honest living
and bear their share of civic responsibility which is now
so heavy.
As if to pour oil on the awful conflagration of war,
we were visited by a tropical hurricane of such violence
as has never been experienced since our race came to these
shores. Almost by a miracle there was no loss of life, and
your Selectmen are confident that all the inhabitants of
the town are grateful to the Police, the State Guard and
all the other organizations who worked so hard to protect
life and property.
The record of the hour by hour happenings that wild
night and the following day as it appears in the logs of
the Police and the State Guard is far too lengthy for this
book but your Selectmen will see to it that it is spread on
the permanent records of the town for posterity.
(6)
As we begin another difficult year in administering
town affairs your Selectmen feel encouraged beyond meas-
ure by their certain knowledge that they will continue to
receive the unstinted help and cooperation they have had
in the past not only from the regularly elected and appoint-
ed town officials but also from the scores of private citizens
they have to call upon to support the war effort on the
home front.
To the members of the rationing board panels, the
public safety committee, the committee on war bond sales,
and many other,public spirited citizens who have-so nobly
responded to our requests, and who have given so cheer-
fully and freely of their talents, time, and money, please
accept the heartfelt thanks of the whole town.
CHESTER A. CROCKER,
Chairman of the Board of Selectmen.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT .
June 22, 1944
To the Board of Selectmen
Mr. Chester A. Crocker, Chairman
Barnstable, Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
I submit herewith my report of an audit of the books
and accounts of the town of Barnstable for the fiscal year
ending December 31, 1943, made in accordance with the pro-
visions of Chapter 44, General Laws. This is in the form
of a report made to me by Mr. Herman B. Dine, Assistant
Director of Accounts.
Very truly yours,
THEODORE N. WADDELL,
Director of Accounts.
Mr. Theodore N. Waddell
Director of Accounts
Department of Corporations and Taxation
State House, Boston
Sir
As directed by you, I have made an audit of the books
and accounts of the town of Barnstable for the fiscal year
ending December 31, 1943, and report thereon as follows:
The financial transactions, as recorded on the books
of the several departments receiving or disbursing money
for the town or committing bills for collection, were exam-
(56)
ined and checked with the books of the treasurer and'the
accounting officer.
The books and accounts of the accounting officer were
examined. The receipts, as recorded, were checked with
the treasurer's books and with the records of the several
departments collecting money for the town, while the pay-
ments were checked with the treasury warrants and with
the books of the treasurer.
The appropriations as listed from the town clerk's
records of town meetings, as well as the transfers from the
reserve fund authorized by the finance committee, were
checked to the accounting officer's ledger. The ledger ac-
collnts were analyzed, and w balance sheet,, which is ap-
pended to this report, was prepared showing the financial
condition of the town on December 31, 1943. An examina-
tion of this balance sheet indicates that the town is in very
good financial condition.
The books and accounts of the town treasurer were
examined and checked. The receipts, as recorded, were com-
pared with the records of the several dpartments collecting
money for the town and with other sources from which
money was paid into the town treasury, while the payments
were checked with the warrants of the selectmen authoriz-
ing the disbursement of town funds. The cash balance on
March 4, 1944, was proved by reconciliation of the bank
balances with statements furnished by the banks of deposit.
The payments of maturing debt and interest were
proved with the amounts falling due and with the cancelled
securities on file.
The savings bank books and securities representing the
investments of the trust and investment funds in the cus-
ody of the treasurer were examined and listed. The income
.was proved and the withdrawals were checked with the re-
ceipts as entered in the treasurer's cash book.
(57)
The records of tax titles held by the town were exam-
ined and checked. The amounts added to the tax title ac-
count were compared with the collector's records, the re-
corded redemptions were checked with the receipts as
shown on the treasurer's cash book, the disclaimers and
foreclosures were verified, and the tax titles were listed,
proved, and checked with the records in the Registry of
Deeds.
In checking. the paid bills and pay-rolls on file it was
noted that a number of checks drawn by the treasurer in
payment for the care and endowed cemetery lots were made
payable to a town official, who in turn endorsed the checks
over to the persons who performed the work of caring for
the lots and graves in the cemeteries. It is recommended
that checks for the payment of work at the cemeteries be
drawn in favor of the persons who actually perform the
work. All checks should either be distributed by the trea-
surer to the payees or mailed to them by him whenever
personal delivery is impractical, since no person other than
the town treasurer or his duly appointed assistant has the
legal authority to make payments in behalf of the town.
The 'books and accounts of the town collector were
examined and checked. The town and fire district taxes,
assessments, and departmental accounts outstanding accord-
ing to the previous examination and all subsequent commit-
ments were audited and proved. The collections as posted
on the commitment books were compared with the cash
book collections and with the recorded payments to the
town and fire district treasurers as shown by the treasurers'
cash books.
The abatements .)f accounts committed to the town .
collector were checked with the records in the departments
authorized to grant such credits, and the outstanding ac-
counts were listed and reconciled with the respective ledger
accounts.
(58)
Verification of the outstanding accounts was made by
sending notices to a number of persons whose names ap-
peared on the books as owing money to the town and the
fire districts, the replies received thereto indicating that
the accounts, as listed, are correct.
The town clerk's records of dog, sporting, and miscel-
laneous town licenses issued were examined, the payments
to the State being verified by comparison with the receipts
on file and the payments to the town treasurer being com-
pared with the treasurer's cash book.
The financial records of the selectmen, of the sealer
of weights and measures, of the police, health, public wel-
iaie, and school departments,
as well as of all other de-
partments collecting money for the town, were examined
and checked with the treasurer's cash receipts and with
the records of the accounting officer.
The surety bonds of the officials required by law to
furnish them were examined and found to be in proper
form.
In addition to the balance sheet referred to, there are
appended to this report.tables showing a reconciliation of
the treasurer's and the collector's cash, summaries of the
town and fire district taxes and assessments, of tax titles
and departmental accounts, together with tables showing
the condition and transactions of the trust and investment
funds.
For the cooperation extended by the various town offi-
cials during the progress of the audit, I wish, on behalf
of my assistants and for myself, to express appreciation.
Respectfully submitted,
HERMAN B. DINE,
Assistant Director of Accounts.

Department; the Sheriff's Office and the Massachusetts
State Police, and all others for their kind and sincere co-
operation during the past twelve months.
To my own officers, I congratulate them one and all,
for the manner in which they have performed their duties,
especially during the hurricane. The hours were long and
many of the men worked right through without any sleep.

Report of
t
SURVEYOR OF HIGHWAYS
I wish to submit the following report for the year
1944.
While this has been rather an unusual year considering
the weather and labor conditions, we have been able to do
considerable in the way of improvement to the roads and
streets.
Under Chapter 90, Route 132 has been completed its
entire length and is in excellent shape.
The new Barnstable Airport Road has been constructed
and is complete except for some fencing.
The construction of a sewer line on Ridgewood Avenue
has put the street into bad condition, and while it has been
patched, a satisfactory job could not be done and this street
should be resurfaced.
In regard to the sidewalks, while we had the funds, we
were unable to get the labor. A start was made on Sea
Street but the hurricane made it necessary to suspend the
work. We will probably be able to get this work done early
in 1945.
Many of our sidewalks have been damaged by the hur-
ricane and the removal of trees and stumps and a great deal
of patching will be necessary in the spring.
The hurricane damage to roads was considerable.
Ocean Street was washed out for about three hundred
feet and has been refilled and resurfaced.
(140)
Squaw Island Road: Sig hundred feet washed out and
has been refilled and resurfaced.
Craigville Beach Road at Long Beach corner: 250 feet
long by 50 feet in width washed out and has been rebuilt
and fences rebuilt at Craigville Bridge.
Centerville-Osterville Bridge washout refilled and road
patched and about 900 feet of temporary fence built.
Seaview Avenue washed out for about 600 feet refilled
and 'patched and a stone top applied to the whole length of
4,800 feet.
Bay Lane, Centerville, washout repaired and 800 feet of
fence rebuilt.
Grand Island Bridge, while usable, is in need of con-
siderable repair and must be kept up until the new bridge,
now under consideration, is built.
It was also necessary to rebuild about 150 feet of road
at the head of Hyannisport Dock.
Ocean Avenue in Hyannis, commonly called Sea Street
from Gosnold Street to Hyannisport, was completely washed
out for about 500 feet. This was filled to protect the gas and
water mains but was washed out again by the following
heavy storm. Nothing has been done on this as a survey is
necessary for the proper location and construction.
While practically all of the trees and stumps have been
removed in the villages, there are still many on the road
sides between villages, and while these stumps do not ob-
struct the highway, they are very unsightly and should be
removed. We are asking for funds for this work.
The following is a classified statement of expenditures

INSPECTOR. OF BUILDINGS _
To the Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable ,
Gentlemen:
Ninety-eight building permits were issued in 1944:
Eight were for new homes.
Seven were for Camps.
Eighteen were for Garages.
Thirteen were for business purposes.
Thirty-nine were for alterations and repairs.
The total estimated valuation of these permits was
$112,629. This amount is'$49;129 more than in 1943.
Of the eight permits issued for new homes, two were for
hurricane rebuild 'and one for fire rebuild.
The fact that stricter building laws were passed at the
Annual meeting in 1944 made it possible to have a much
more fire resisting.building built to take the place of the
Colonial Block burned in December, 1943.

THE INSPECTOR OF WIRES
To the Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable
Gentlemen:
I am pleased to submit my annual report for the year
ending December 31, 1944.
This has been a very busy year due to reconstruction of
the havoc left by the storm of September 14, and also an
increase in the amount of normal electrical installations.
On September 15,in agreement with the Cape and Vine-
yard -Electric Co., the following requirements were estab-
lished for the reconnection of services as storm damaged
power lines were rebuilt.
(1) No service to be reconnected if the service con-
ductors show signs of having been subjected to a
strain.
(2) No service to be reconnected if there is an external
branch feeder coming from the building, which feed-
er may have been subjected to damage.
(3). No service to be reconnected to a building which
has been subjected to flood salt water.
As a result of these rules and the splendid co-operation
of the Cape and Vineyard Electric Co. very little trouble
was experienced in 'the reconnection of the many services
damaged by the storm.
I have attended eleven meetings of the Electrical In-
spectors Association and have found them very beneficial in
the performance of my duties.
(147)
For the year ending December 31, 1944.

TREE WARDEN DEPARTMENT
To the Citizens of the Town of Barnstable:
The people of this town are,all aware of the severe
damage to trees of all kinds caused by the September
hurricane and the several wind storms since that time. Sev-
eral thousand trees were up-rooted or broken off. Many of
these were large shade trees, which it will be impossible
to replace. The resources of this department were used along
with all other departments to help make the highways pas-
sable after the storm. I received many calls from people in
real distress due to trees having fallen on power lines.
Whenever possible, I gave what assistance I could to help
restore service. The hurricane, of course, did tremendous
damage to the shade trees throughout the town. However,
emergency work in helping to restore communications and
light service, in clearing away dangerous trees and hanging
branches and doing other essential work has required our
complete resources up to the present time.
Although there is a serious shortage of competent
climbers, we intend to begin pruning work on the large
shade trees just as'soon as weather permits. The amount of
this work we will be able to accomplish will depend entirely
upon how many climbers we are able to employ.
The majority of the young shade trees on the various
roads throughout the town continue to show satisfactory
growth, especially where the location is favorable. The trees
were fertilized where necessary, and all dead and broken
branches removed as part of our regular work. These trees
weathered ,the hurricane without much damage in most
cases. Many of the bent trees have been straightened and
(149)
guyed.With a favorable growing season these trees should
again become well established.
The Tent Caterpillar situation remains about the same.
The infestations are spreading in some outlying areas, but
on the main highways they are gradually being reduced. If
help is available it will be possible to retard or check the
spread of the insect in all areas. This caterpillar is controlled
by spraying and also by cutting and burning of nests when
the infestations are heavy.
The large elm trees were sprayed twice, one early and'
once late in the season, to control the two broods of beetles.
This method of spraying tends to keep the insects under
control. It was more difficult, than usual, this year to keep
competent help for the second spraying because of the
extended season resulting from the dry, warm weather.
The very small amount of Bladder Maple Gall which
appeared this year was properly treated.
Ever since I have been in office, I have received fine
cooperation from all the other town departments. I should
note particularly this year, however, that I could scarcely
have solved the almost endless problems resulting from the
hurricane had I not received at all times the complete
cooperation and help of the Highway Department, the
Police Department and many others.

MOTH DEPARTMENT
To the Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable:
I am submitting the following report of the Moth De-
partment for 1944.
During the late winter and early spring, a small crew
of men worked for eight weeks painting the egg clusters on
the shade trees bordering the highways in all the villages.
The spraying machines are all over ten years old. It
took a lot of work and co-operation to get the machines
in good working order before the spraying season started
(about the 12th of May). This was seven or eight days
sooner than we had ever started before. It was almost
impossible to get crews enough to operate all the sprayers
at one time. It became evident soon after the spraying season
started that there would be a great deal of defoliation. The
Gypsys were more numerous than at any time in the past .
ten years. The weather continued to be warm and dry, ideal
weather for moths to spread quickly. We realized it would
be impossible to keep all the roadsides in good condition.
Our full resources were used on the main highways. As a
result of this method of control, the foliage of the large
shade trees in the villages was saved. The defoliation of
the areas bordering the large tracts of woodland, however,
was severe in many cases. The situation was serious in the
whole Cape area, some towns in the middle Cape having a
seventy-five percent defoliation.
The heavy infestation and defoliation brought many
experts into this area to see if they could determine the
cause. I went over this town with these various men and it
(151)
seemed to me their consensus of opinion that the unusual
defoliation was the result of ideal weather conditions.
There was a noticable improvement in the Brown Tail
Moth situation throughout the town. In the early spring
a crew of four men cut and destroyed several thousand
nests. It was necessary to limit this work to the area within
a reasonable distance from the roads. There is a large in-
festation of this insect on Sandy Neck, but provided the
necessary work is done each year, it can be confined to that
area indefinitely.
The Fall Web Moth was very little in evidence when
the September hurricane'stripped the foliage from the trees.
With the co-opeartion of the property owners, I believe we
can eventually exterminate this insect.
Respectively submitted,
JOHN F. SHIELDS

Report of
FOREST FIRE WARDEN
To the Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable:
Gentlemen:
I herewith submit my ninth annual report for the year
ending December 31, 1944.
There were 43 Forest Fire calls reported this year burn-
ing over approximately 40 acres from the following causes:
Careless smoking 12
Railroad fires 8
Permit fires out of control 7
Children 5
Incinerators 7
Hot ashes 2
Army 1
Incendiary 1
NVe had a very favorable wet Spring. Most of our
trouble occurred during the Summer drought. The Depart-
ment used only one Patrol this Season, but' found it advis-
able to maintain the Patrol for the remainder of the year
on account of the late dry season and the hurricane. During
the Fall the old blind roads were cleared of fallen trees
to provide better access, in the event of fire, to the woodland
area in the Spring.
I recommend a second Patrol be used if possible again
this Spring in view of the heavy blowdowns in the forest
especially along the South side of the Town. I also recom-
.(153)
mend the Patrols be started as early as possible to brush
back the sides of some of these old unused roads.
In view of the seriousness of our Forest Fire situation
and the difficulty of obtaining help, especially experienced
help, to fight fires, every one will be called upon to refrain
from burning in the Spring. The co-operation of the Public
is necessary in rhporting any violations which may occur
by persons not familiar with our regulations.

Report of
THE SHELLFISH CONSTABLE
For the Year 1944
To the Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable:
I hereby submit to you my eighteenth report as Shell-
fish Constable for the Town.
In my 1943 report I stated that we had probably estab-
lished in that year, at least from the financial standpoint,
records that would stand for some time. Althouh prices
on the whole were somewhat higher in 1944, our total re-
ceipts were less than last year. The totals for 1944 are as
follows:
Clams $78,200
Quahaugs 28,600
Scallops 16,500
Razor-fish 6,100
Total $129,400
Although this is approximately $11,000 less than 1943,
it is still a most satisfactory total.
Many of the unusual conditions we encountered last
year; such as, unusual prices and no available help, were
still with us this year. In addition, we experienced this year
an unusually hot and dry summer when for three months
we got very little rain. This condition affected -all shell-
fish since, although they are covered most of the time with
salt water, they must have a certain amount of fresh water,
too, in order to thrive. This is especially true of clams.
Another unusual condition which, however, worked to our
(157)
benefit was the absence of the grass or moss which we
have had to fight fox,the past few years.,Also, we of course
experienced a terrific hurricane in September which clut-
tered up the flats with grass, leaves, bushes, treetops, etc.,
which were blown into the bays. This makes dredging and
shellfishing in some areas extremely difficult.
PROPAG'A'TION AND PROTECTION
This year, even more than last, we were bothered by
the labor shortage. We were only able during the summer
to get two men to work part time. Their work was divided
between supervision and the elimination of shellfish
enemies. As usual, there has been some criticism this year
of our method of supervised digging of clams, but we feel
certain that the records we have kept and those of the
State Department will indicate its value beyond all ques-
tion of doubt. Such supervision is just as good business and
just as beneficial to the good management of the shellfish
industry as it is to any kind of industry where natural
resources are involved. When we observe the conditions
existing in other towns where no continued policy of pro-
tection and propagation is carried on and compare them
with our own way, we •soon begin to realize that this pro-
gram is of the utmost value to the shellfisherman and the
industry as a whole. This statement is backed by the in-
formation we have received from the State Department of
Conservation. Whereas our town ranks eleventh in the
area of its clam flats, we have for the past few•years ranked
second or 'third in the quantities of clams' taken and the
amount received for them. The state authorities consider
this to be due to the fact that Barnstable has for a num-
ber of years appropriated the necessary money for both
supervised digging and the destruction of shellfish enemies,
and has consistently carried out a definite program in this
respect'.
(158)
This year the number of horseshoe crabs destroyed,
with two men working' part time, 'was half the number
gathered in 1943. Those picked' up this year were mostly
small ones, showing that we are getting the best of the
large ones which do the most damage. We gathered this
year and destroyed twice as many cockles as in 1943. We
are told by experts that once every so often parasites de-
stroy shellfish enemies: If we in the future experience such
a period, we will be able to temporarily reduce our, pro-
tection efforts; but, in.the meantime, it would be well to
follow the same general plan as heretofore.
No survey was made this year of the starfish situation
along the south -shore. On the north side what few there . .
are, are doing little damage.
The eel grass which left us some years ago seems to
be returning on the north• side; although still somewhat
infected by disease.
CLAIMS
As has been true for the past few years, the financial
return to the fisherman for clams has been more than ,half
the total for the entire industry. On account of urgent de-
mands from dealers, especially those who supply our armed
forces, we opened the flats to out-of-town trade earlier
than usual this year. I advised doing this. I also advised
during the winter raising.the limit from four to five hods.
I can now see that I was wrong in both instances. It
- seemed to me that under the conditions the call for per-
mits to dig clams could not possibly be too heavy; but ap-
parently everyone decided to go clamming and we eventu-
ally gave out 129 permits. Also, we had unusually clear
weather so that there were only two days, during the whole
winter when no One went clamming. I do not feel that these
regulations did any permanent harm as all the digging was
supervised and we stayed away from the areas where there
(159)
were large quantities of small clams. The only disadvan-
tage will be that we will have to put off for.a longer period
the time when we can again open the harbor to "out-of-
town" trade.
During the past two-years, we have taken from Barn-
stable Harbor 17,750 barrels of clams. The demands con-
stantly exceeded the supply (while digging for "out-of-
town" trade). Adding to the above-mentioned amount, the
quanities taken for family use which we have no way of
recording, it will be readily seen that the drain on our sup-
ply was heavy indeed. In spite of the generous amounts of
seed which we have set on our flats during the past two
or three years, our supply of clams large enough to take,
has been constantly diminishing. This, of course, is only be-
cause we have dug the clams faster than they grow. It is
seldom that clams are large enough to take until they are
four years old. From a careful survey of the flats, it is
now evident that there are but very small areas where dig-
ging can be done without great harm to the very large
proportion of undersized clams. Because of this, we have
this year recommended that the taking of clams for other
than town trade in the Town of Barnstable, be prohibited
for a year at least, or until such time as the clams grow
enough so that we can dig without doing an unreasonable
Amount of damage. There have been some protests and
there will no doubt be others over this recommendation;
but, at the present time, there is plenty of other work
which can be obtained at good wages, and most of those
who have the interest of the entire industry at heart will
agree that the recommendation is sound.
It is particularly necessary that we conserve the sup-
ply of what. small clams we have this year because, to all
appearances, we are not going to have any 1944 set that
will live. It also appears that the set we had in 1943 and,
which at the time appeared very good and healthy, has
now disappeared almost completely except in a few small
(160)
areas. I feel quite certain that little of this set was lost
to shellfish enemies but disappeared largely because of the
extreme hot, dry weather we had during the summer. Since
the set was very near the surface, it very likely was un-
able to survive the extreme hot and dry' conditions. The
small amounts which did survive were near thatch islands
where underground springs may have helped.
The report on clams would not be complete without
recording that this year the quality was much poorer than
usual. At times our clams opened as much as 25% under
the usual standard. This may have been due to the hot, dry
weather previously referred to. This is the eighteenth year
I have tried' to convey a true picture of conditions as they
exist in the clam industry in our town. The reports and
recommendations I have tried to give are based on many ,
visits to the flats, a careful check on records carefully
kept, and upon reports received from time to time from
our supervisor who visits the flats more than anyone else..
I have also tried to keep in mind the good of the industry
now and in the future. Although good suggestions have
come from others, there have been many suggestions and
recommendations openly made which have been obviously
based on self-interest and not on the greatest good for the
greatest number.
Of course, any profitable industry which brings into a
relatively small number of people an income of-$170,00®
over a period of two years, is bound to cause some argu-
ments and disagreements and is also bound to be accom-
panied by many perplexities. However,, we have in the past
and we will continue in the future to recommend such ac-
tion as will be best for both the present and the future of
the clam.industry as we see. it.
QUAHAUGS
This year, as was expected, the amounts taken .and
the money received for quahaugs was below 1943 although
(161)
there were more permits issued., No areas previously closed
for propagation purposes were opened this year. The area
in Lewis Bay, Hyannis, which, was closed for propagation
purposes could have been opened to digging in 1944 since
we had the approval of the State Board of Health; but
because of the supply and price conditions at the time, we
did not do so. This area has been seeded twice within the
past few years and should afford exceptionally good fishing
when it is again opened. If this area is opened in 1945,
after the spawning season and subsequently reseeded with
1.00 bushels of seed-which the State owes us, it should then
make a good place to return to in 1946 or 1947. This par-
ticular area was seeded in 1940 and 1941 and was opened
in 1942 when the yield was about four bushels for every
one planted. We expect that in the future we will be able
to maintain almost as good a record. This increase in yield
is'due, of course, to both the growth of the quahaug planted
and the new set which naturally comes in. Under proper
conditions,- it is quite possible to get an increase of as much
as 10 to 1.
.It has not been possible to keep any records of the
smaller-areas seeded in Cotuit and Osterville. These have
been open for some time. We do not plan to have too many
areas closed at the same time because of the impossibility
of properly patrolling them. It goes without saying that
an area officially closed but not properly patrolled becomes
a joke instead of a benefit to the industry.
Very satisfactory amounts of quahaugs, have been
taken from the large area in North Bay which the previous
year could not be used because of the presence of Camp
Candoit.
There does not seem to be any very large damage
caused by the hurricane to our quahaug.industry. I have
talked with several fishermen and they agree that the sand
moved by the hurricane appears not to have buried the
quahaugs to any serious extent.
(162)
SCALLOPS.
The scallop part of the industry has this year been a
distinct surprise. Large quantities of seed which last year
appeared to be a reasonably good set were washed ashore
during the winter and the situation, did not look particu-
larly favorable for this year's fishing. When this year's
scallop season arrived it became obvious that whatever set
we had in Popponnessett had died. In Cotuit, Seapuit River,
North Bay,-East Bay and West Bay there were very few
scallops as compared with other years. In Lewis Bay, Hy-
annis, although large quantities had been washed ashore
during the winter, there was, nevertheless, the best fishing
in many years. The scallops were larger and much larger
quantities of them were obtained. This, combined with un-
usually high prices, brought the total in the industry much
higher than usual -even though the number of boats oper-
ating were much fewer in number, many being damaged
in the hurricane. The total amount received for scallops
in 1944 was about two and one-half times that of the pre-
vious year with about 857o of them coming from Lewis
Bay.
The hurricane or some other combination of circum-
stances surely landed a very large supply of extra big
scallops Which opened three quarts or better to the bushel.
The scallops appeared.to be of the type not usually found
here and apparently were not present during the late sum-
mer and very early fall. Where they came. from is any-
one's guess.
Especially in Lewis Bay in Hyannis there appears to
be large quantities of good sized seed which should give
us a good year of 1945.
RAZOR FISH
This part of the industry, as has been usual of late,
was very small comparatively. This has not been due to
(163)
lack of demand but rather to poor supply. We have had no
good set of razor fish for many years. In part, however, .
the small returns are due to the fact that fishermen pre-
ferred digging clams under the present conditions rather
than razor fish. Prices on razor fish are the highest ever re-
corded locally due to the extra demand for bait and very
high fish prices..Since the price of razor fish is very high,
it is used only during the season when other cheaper baits
are not procurable. The prospects for the future in this
part of the industry as indicated above is not good.
GENERAL
Although the prospects for good prices in the coming
year appear to be very bright, it looks as if the supply of
all different types of shellfish would be less than 1944, with
the exception of the scallop industry which is is at all times
difficult to predict.
Our regulations as to taking shellfish for family use,
which now allow Sunday digging, are the same heavy and
troublesome drain. In spite of the gasoline shortage, our
area on the North side where digging is the heaviest and
where there are several places with large quantities of
clams too small to take legally, requires a great deal of
checking and watching as there is a great tendency on
the part of the diggers to take clams,under the legal size
limit. I examined one lot in July in the possession of an
out-of-town digger where only one-ninth of the total amount
was large enough to keep. Such conditions as these are
sufficient to try the patience of your Shellfish Constable
and often cause comments that I could hardly put in this
report.
Of course, I realize that the shellfish industry is not
perfectly run in this town and that there will always be
an opportunity for improvement, but I hope the citizens
will realize that we have done• quite a bit to make this
(164)
part of the town's business one that will do the most good
for the most people at times when they need it most.
Respectfully submitted,
ERNEST 0. DOTTRIDGE,
Shellfish Constable for the
Town of Barnstable.

Report of
BOARD OF PUBLIC WELFARE
This is my twelfth report as Chairman of the Board
of Public Welfare. When I was first elected in 1933, the full
weight of the depression was just beginning to be felt on'
the Cape. In that year-$68,000 was spent for public welfare.
During 1934 and 1935 our expenses increased almost $20,000
a year to an all time high of $106,000 in the latter year.
Then for the four years, 1936 to 1939 inclusive, our expenses.
for public welfare levelled off at just under $100,000 annual-
ly. In 1940 welfare expenditures dropped to $85,000; in 1941
to $62,000; in 1942 to $58,000; in 1943 to $44,000. During
the last year,. 1944, public welfare was still further reduced
to $37,000, the lowest figure since 1929.
This steady reduction in public welfare for the past
five years merely reflects the war time prosperity of the
whole country. With approximately 1,000 of our young men
in the armed services, with a shortage of all sorts of labor
and with wages at unprecedented levels, it is to be expected'
that able bodied persons would not be found on the relief
rolls.
Our present prosperity, however, is synthetic and com-
pletely war conceived. If both wars end at or near the same
time, the period of,transition from war to peace-time pro-
duction will be difficult indeed. A great many men will be
temporarily out of work. Although we do not directly de-
pend to any large extent on industries involved in the war
effort, our problems nevertheless will, be great. If on the
other hand, as seems more likely, the war with Germany
should end considerably before the war with Japan, the
transitional process would be mach more gradual and the
resulting relief situation easier to solve.
(167)
Under the direction of Chairman Lauchlan M. Crocker
the town has a well functioning "Barnstable Veterans'
Advisory Committee," originally formed at the request of
Governor Saltonstall. This committee is making all the
preparations it can to be of assistance to the veteran when
he returns; to help him find a job, if he needs one, or to
help him obtain any one of the many services which he
may require and to which he is entitled, and above all to
be sure that he doesn't get the so-called ",run around."
This brings us naturally to the point where we should
call attention to the fact that in the post-war period Sol-
diers' Relief will inevitably increase tremendously, since
such a large portion of our population between 21 and 40
years of age will then be veterans. At the same time, of
course, public welfare expenditures will not increase as
much as would otherwise be the case. The load will merely
be transferred-from one form of relief to the other.
OLD AGE ASSISTANCE
Our expenditures for Old Age Assistance during 1944
were just about the same as in 1943, being slightly under
$117,000. Due to Federal and State contributions, the net
cost to the town as represented in the local tax rate was
about $21,000. As has been pointed out before, the balance
has to be paid to the State and Federal governments through
income and other taxes, so that -the ultimae cost of Old
Age Assistance to the local tax payers is.still the total
amount.
The total cost of relief to all other persons including .
veterans and their families was about $63,000 but slightly
over half the cost of Old Age Assistance.
Obtaining the contributions of sons and daughters to
the support of their parents, as required by law, has been
a very troublesome problem in 1944. As yet we have not
(168)
had to bring any children into court to get the required
contribution, but now have one case about to be entered.
A'bill is before the 1945 legislature to remove all re-
sponsibility on the part of children to support their parents.
If this should pass and become law, it would probably add
15 to 25 millions of dollars to the annual expenditure in
Massachusetts for Old Age Assistance. The implied philos-
ophy behind such legislation would be that children should
have no more responsibility toward the welfare of their
needy parents than should the unrelated average taxpayer.
This would seem to be contrary to all previous conceptions
of family life and filial responsibility.
VICTOR F. ADAMS,
Chairman.

REPORT OF THE TOWN COUNSEL
To the Board of Selectmen:
I submit herewith the fourteenth Annual Report of
the Town Counsel for the year ending December 31st, 1944:
(1) By referring to paragraph 13_of the Town Coun-
sel's Report for 1943 (see 1943 Town Report pp. 183 to 190
inc.) it will be seen that the town was a party defendant
in 8 land damage cases. and 3 personal injury cases then
pending in the Barnstable Spperior Court, the first 5 of
which arose from the taking of land on Hathaway's Pond
by eminent domain for recreational purposes, as set out in
par. 10 of the 1943 town counsel's report.
(2) In the first case of Cole vs. Barnstable the plain-
tiff had marked the case for trial for the April and October
sessions of the court and had strenuously insisted upon a
trial or a settlement of the case. After numerous conferences
and negotiations, and to avoid the expense and.uncertainty
of a trial of the case in court, the selectmen, with the ap-
proval of the town counsel, were able to effect a very favor-
able settlement for $225. damages, witboi.A interest and
without costs, and an agreement for judgment for .this
amount was then filed in court, thus disposing of this case.
(3) All of the other above cases have remained inactive
during 1944 and apparently need give us little or no-con-
cern from now on as the damages involved are small and the
plaintiffs show little disposition to press the cases. From.
the foregoing recital it appears that the town finds iself
in a very favorable position so far as litigation, in court is
concerned, which litigation is always a matter of consider-
able concern to the selectmen and town counsel.'
(171)
(4) During the year 1944, however, the town itself
brought a Bill of Equity in the Superior Court against one
Babbitt, Trustee, as the owner of the Colonial Block on
Main Street, Hyannis, destroyed by fire in December 1943,
to restrain the erection of the exterior walls of the new
building too close to the north side line of the Main Street,
which case was begun and disposed of in May 1944.
(5) After the burning of the Colonial Building and
before the work of reconstruction had been be the town,
at the annual town meeting in March, adopted additional
building laws, prepared by the town counsel from the in-
structions of the selectmen and building inspector, to en-
sure first class fireproof construction of buildings along
Main Street, Hyannis, and.one of the provisions of these
by-laws read as follows:
"No part of any exterior wall, above ground,
shall be erected within 7' 6" of the street loca-
tion."
which was intended to require the new Colonial building
to be set back on a.line with the Public Service building
immediately west of it, as the old building jogged out some
four feet beyond the line of the Public Service building.
In April the owner began the rebuilding of the Colonial
building on the old foundation, with the exterior walls above
ground within 7' 6" of the location of the Main Street, in
violation of the above by-law and without having obtained
a building permit from the building inspector, who refused
to issue such permit because the proposed construction was
in violation of this by-law, whereupon the town counsel
was instructed by the selectmen to seek an injuction against
the owner and the contractor. A bill in equity for this
purpose was filed in the Barnstable Superior Court on May
2nd and a temporary restraining order on the same,day
was obtained from Mr. Justice Donahue of the Superior
Court then sitting at Brockton, and the case was set for
hearing on the merits at the Equity Session in Boston on
(172)
May llth before Mr. Justice Hanify. After a short hearing
before the Judge in court and in his chambers, the case
was continued until May 13th, when Judge Hanify peremp-
torily "dismissed" the bill without stating the reasons for
his decision, other than his strong disapproval of the town
counsel and the selectmen in their conduct of the case
against the defendant. The selectmen, with the approval of
the town counsel, decided not to appeal the case to the Full
Bench of the Supreme Court, as the work of reconstruction
of the building would be stopped for several months thus
,entailing substantial financial loss to the tenants. who were
anxious to resume business. The building itself has been
built in accordance with the requirements of the by-laws
calling for first class fire-proof construction and the fact
that it jogs out beyond the Public Service Building is of
no great consequence so far as fire protection is concerned.
(6) During 1944 the work of the legal department has
been increased considerably by the numerous petitions to
the Land Court for the registration of titles by third parties,
where the plans show encroachments on the public way as
explained in par. 13 of the 1943 town counsel's report, and
during the year many troublesome problems have arisen in
connection with the performance of the duties of the vari-
ous officials necessitating an examination of the law and
statutes and the rendering of oral and written opinions
from time to time.
(7) Apart from the routine business of this depart-
ment, which seems to be increasing every year, some of the
special matters engaging the town counsel's attention dur-
ing 1944 have been the status of the Elizabeth,Lowell School
grounds at Cotuit; the old Indian Trail at Cummaquid;
the extension of a sewer from the airport; zoning regula-.
tions and a lease of a part of the airport to the Federal
Government; the checking of titles and writing deeds of
eleven parcels of land held under tax title takings and fore-
closures; the perfecting of the town's title to land at Mar-
(173)
aspin's Creek; the drawing of leases and assignment of
leases of the Lombard land; the drawing of special acts for
the Legislature for liens for sewer rentals and for the repair
of the hurricane damage at Wianno Beach; the filling of
vacancies in the School Board and Recreation Committee;
parking and traffic violation and street signs; the pollution
of Barnstable Harbor from se`vage;the abatement of a beach
nuisance at the foot of. Sea Street, Hyannis, by the Board
of Health, and from the stranding of blackfish in Barnstable
Harbor; shellfish regulations and violations; the old Pond
Tillage grade crossing case; the status of the-Plumbing In-
spector for the Civil Service Commission; building regula-
tions and the zoning law applicable to the Weber land at
Hyannis; the collection of personal property taxes for the
collector of taxes; a drainage easement and deed of the
Oliver land at Ridgewood, Hyannis, and the status of the
parkland on Main Street, Centerville, and at Hyannisport
and some troublesome questions in connection with the ren-
dering of old age assistance by the Welfare Department.
(9) The town counsel has no special recommendations
to make other than the need for the revision of some of
the very crudely drawn town by-laws.
Respectfully submitted,
CHARLES C. PAINE,
Town Counsel.

BOARD OF HEALTH REPORT
The Board of Health suffered a great loss in the death
on August.14, 1944 of Mr. John Bursley, Animal Inspector,
whose conscientious work was outstanding and whose sen-
sible personal approach to all problems resulted in their
easy and satisfactory settlement.
Mr. Bursley had attended to the restraint of 20 dogs
and given final. reports on their release in 1944.
Diptheria.Clinics. When we were faced with the pos-
sibility of a diptheria epidemic, the Board members decided
to follow out a Schick test program and inoculations of
those who needed them. About 1,400 treatments were given
in all. Schick positive cases were started on a new treat-
ment and all doubtful cases were given booster'shots.
The Schick Test Clinic, together with the publicity
which it was given, resulted in the estimated injections of
about 90% of the school children in the town. This was a
great burden on the doctors of the town but it was,a more
scientific approach than the indiscriminate giving of booster
doses.
The Board of Health wishes to thank all those who
participated, including the Cape Cod Hospital personnel, the
District Nurses, the School Nurse, the Superintendent of
Schools, Mrs. Roger Allen, Mrs. Alfred S. Johnston, Mrs.
Allen Fraser, Mrs. Natalie P. Parker, Mrs. Hollis Wordell,
Mrs. Briah Connor and all others who assisted in any way.
Behind the scene activities included the follow ip of
all contacts and the throat culturing of all suspects with
the result the epidemic has been kept to, a minimum.
(175)
The work of Anna M. Caskin, Clerk and Robert D. /
Chase, Agent was greatly increased during the past year,
due to the hurricane, the diphtheria clinics and the expan
sion of this department.
The hurricane presented some problems that were im-
mediately attacked and preventative measures taken so that
no serious epidemic occurred.
The Sanitation Department was put under an abnormal
strain due to the hurricane. There was a large accumulation
of stumps at the dump, these were condensed into piles by
the use of heavy equipment. This will make room for stumps
still to be received.
Fire breaks are under construction at the dump and
will be completed by early Spring. New systems for the
control of fire, smoke and odors are planned. These are
to be put in operation as soon as the material and equipment
are available.
The following communicable diseases were reported to
the Board of Health:

MILK AND .DAIRY INSPECTION.. -1944
The regular tuberculin test was not applied to all the
cattle within the town, however the larger herds were T.B.
tested with no reactors found. This constitutes a fine record
for the town and is a good indication that the animals are
in good, healthy condition.
All the samples of milk and cream, evaporated and
goats milk collected were above the State Standard.
The quality of milk and cream about the same as last
year, continued help shortage on farms has increased the
work for the farmer, making it harder to maintain a higher
standard. Butter fat content average remains same as last
year.
Bacteriological examinations were made of utensils used
in restaurants, drug stores, bar-rooms and hotels.

REPORT OF, DISTRICT NURSING ASSOCIATION
To the Barnstable Board of Health:
Our work during 1944 has followed the same general
pattern as that of previous years. Bedside nursing continues
to be our biggest item, then visits in the home for health
supervision to all age groups.
Our monthly Well-baby Clinic has continued to function
also an Eye clinic for school children and Toxoid clinics for
(179)
the prevention of Diphtheria. Each month there is a Chest
clinic and a Crippled Children's clinic at the Cape Cod Hos-
pital. These are very helpful and solve many problems of
transportation that otherwise would mean a trip to Pocasset
or Boston.
We would like to take this opportunity to express,our
appreciation for the unfailing co-operation of other health
agencies with• which we are associated from day to day.
Respectfully submitted,.

BARNSTABLE COUNTY HEALTH
DEPARTMENT
The following is a brief report of the work of the
Barnstable County Health Department for the year 1944.
The meetings of the Cape Cod Health Bureau Associa-
tion and the Cape Cod Health Council are still being held
twice a year, jointly, at the Hyannis Inn as usual. These
meetings are always very well attended by the town boards
of health and others interested. Also, these meetings give
an opportunity for discussion of any sanitary or health
questions which arise in any part of the Cape and are
found to be quite useful in settling some such questions. A
representative of the Department of Sanitation of the State
spoke at one meeting,. and the Medical Officer, connebted
with the Maritime Academy,, at the other. When prac-
ticable, these meetings will again be held quarterly, as
was formerly the case.
All of the regular clinics were held during 'the year,
including cancer, eye, ear and throat, crippled children,
diphtheria prevention, tuberculosis and well child confer-
ences. All nurses, health agencies, and boards of health
have been very efficient in conducting their work during
the year, and the nurses organization has held its regular
meeting as customary.
There has been no unusual amount of communicable
disease, and schools have been in no way interferred with
at any time. A little diphtheria was reported recently, an
adult being apparently the.first case reported positive. No
anterior poliomyelitis (infantile paralysis) has been found
in the county this year.
(181)
Certain private `eater supplies were reported unfit for
use, due to the hurricane, but no diseases resulted from
these, so far as known.
Special efforts are being made to locate contacts of cer-
tain diseases and arrangements are made for treatment
where necessary.
The regular work of the department has been carried
on very satisfactorily by all concerned, and ,we wish to
extend our thanks to all officials of the State and County
for their most complete and efficient support of health work
in the County.
Respectfully,
A. P. GOFF, M.D.
County Health Officer.

REPORT OF THE PLANNING BOARD
To the Voters of the Town of Barnstable:
Your Planning Board submits herewith its report for
the year 1944.
During the past year, the board has restricted its activ-
ities to a preliminary exploration of a number of projects
which may properly be developed in the post-war period.
When once again the activities of our people can be fully
employed in matters pertaining to our own-town, the ques-
tion of a broad policy of development becomes important.
Such a policy requires considerable--study. It is in this
direction that your planning board has been devoting its
efforts in the past year.
Recommendations which we have made in the past are
equally pertinent today. In the long run, the town will of
necessity have to take action upon them:—
1. Building Lines.
We again recommend that no rie�v street lay-out be
accepted, or sub-division containing street lay-outs be ap-
proved, unless building lines are provided for. We again
recommend that a progressive program be inaugurated by
which some building lines in each of our villages may be
established each year.
2. Building,Code.
We again recommend that the town adopt a real build-
ing code. It is time to realize that a strong code, well en-
forced, is one of the best guarantees of good sound con-
(183)
struction, which is the backbone of municipal income. The
town has been too timorous in adopting a real code which
will insure first-class construction throughout 'the town.
3. Zoning.
We recommend that the town seriously consider a
real zoning system to replace our present Interim Act,
which was intended in the first place only to provide for
status quo until a comprehensive system could be adopted.
4. Zoning Map.
We recommend that a map of the town showing in de-
tail our present zoning areas, be provided. Article 10 of
the town by-laws states: "Non-residence districts .
shall comprise.all lands which at the time this by-law be-
comes effective, are used for business. . . . Residence dis-
tricts,. shall comprise all areas not included in non-
residence districts "
This by-law became effective on July 22, 1929. At pres-
ent there is no map showing in detail each of these areas
as of July 22,.1929. How much longer may we safely rely
on memory!
5. Waterways and Beaches.
We again recommend that a definite program be in-
augurated for providing access to the sea and to our great
ponds for the benefit of the residents of our town in those
parts of the town where the facilities for such access are
too limited or entirely lacking. The longer we wait the.
greater the ultimate cost. Iit large areas of the town the
greatest use of lands not contiguous to the shore is depend-
ent on easy and convenient access to the shore. In altogether
too many parts of the town, the land with shore rights is
measured in value in dollars per foot, whereas land a few
(184),
hundred yards away is measured in cents per acre, chiefly
because of lack of access to the shore.
6. Vacant and Unused Lands. '
Considerable areas exist in the town on which little
or no tax is paid. In many cases the owners are unknown.
These areas not only provide no income to the town, but are,
on the other hand, a considerable menace• during forest-
fire time. It is estimated that twenty-percent (20%) of
Barnstable's sixty-two odd square miles is made up of such
land. We recommend that the town gradually take posses-
sion of these areas by the usual process of tak sale, and
that they be placed in the hands of a rejuvenated town
forest committee, with funds and instructions to plant and
develop them for the benefit of the town.
7. Town Forest Committee.
Some years ago in town meeting we were informed
that the Town ,had no town forest, and so could have no
town forest committee. We recommend that the legal pro-
cedure necessary for the town of Barnstable to have a
town forest or forests, and a Town Forest Committee, be
taken at once. The tremendous shortage of forest products
at the present time reflects the careless and thoughtless
policy in respect to town forests of too many of our munici-
palities in the past.
8. Parking in Business Areas.
In spite of the fact that the use of the automobile
has been restricted in the past year, the problem of parking
in our business areas continues to be serious. Traffic hazard;
congestion, and danger to the pedestrian still exist be-
cause we fail to attack the problem in a realistic manner.
With the increased use of the automobile which will fol-
low the war, these dangerous conditions will be grea0y
(185)
accentuated. To date, so far as public action is concerned,
two solutions have been offered: (1) to limit the time that
one may park and (2) to provide a public parking lot off
the highway. The former is weak and ineffective, because
it does not get at the heart of the trouble,in the first place
and expensive because it requires a police officer to make
it effective in the second place. The latter is founded on
the erroneous idea that people, will use a parking lot at
some distance from-their destination. Experience shows that
people will NOT use a parking lot unless it is very close
to the place to which they wish to go. ,
The most obvious solution for the parking problem.in -
restricted business areas is to require that customers park-
ing lots with suitable entrances, either in front of or ad-
jacent to each place of business, be provided. People will
not enter back doors intended primarily for service nor will
they park in rear and then walk all the way to the front
door. We recommend that the town adopt a by-law, which
will make necessary adequate adjacent parking areas for
customers and employees for all commercial and,industrial
buildings erected in congested areas.

Report of
PARK COMMISSION
To the Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable
Gentlemen:
The past year the care and upkeep of the Parks in
our several villages has been carried on, and, as in the
past, as thoroughly as possible under prevailing conditions.
Much of our equipment is wearing out. And it is often
impossible to replace it or even to obtain some needed
tools.
Last summer an efficient and courteous Life Guard was
stationed at the Bulkhead Park during the day.
The September storm caused much damage in all of
our Parks.
This has necessitated a great deal of extra work and
it will be many months before the fallen trees and debris
in general can be memoved.
It also necessitates replacement of shrubbery and re-
landscaping in many places, especially at Park Square and
the Bulkhead Park.
The raft used at the Bulkhead was torn from its
mooring. It will have to be reclaimed and extensively
repaired.
A new drinking fountain had been installed in the
Bulkhead Park. The cement base was damaged by the
storm.
We realize that there is much work to be done. Every
effort will be made to restore and improve as rapidly as
possible, all of our Parks.

Report of
. SEWER COMMISSIONE,RS
To the Citizens of the Town of Barnstable:
s
We respectfully submit the following report pertain-
ing to the Sewer Department.
In 1938, the first full year of operation, there were
87 active connections to the sewer. December 31, 1944, six
_years later, there were 166 active connections. The total
flow in 1938 was 22,045,000 gallons. The total flow in 1944
was 59,681,000 gallons. A minimum of 3,440,000 gallons in
January 1944 with a maximum of 5,648,000 gallons in
August 1944.
Despite this great increase, the system operated with-
out difficulty and is capable of carrying a much greater
increase in the future.
Equipment has been purchased for cleaning and re-
moving roots from the common sewer. This work was to'
have started and been completed last Fall, but due to the
hurricane, it was not attempted. This will be done in the
early Spring of 1945.
One break occurred in the force main at the intersec-
tion of Main and Ocean Streets, a repair was quickly made
and service was not impaired. A break at this point has
happened twice before. A split sleeve large enough to_cover
this connection has been ordered and a permanent repair
will be made. '
(188)
A particular sewer was put in by the U. S. Navy, from
Center Street via Ridgewood Avenue, to the airport. The
Navy was very cooperative with the Board and agreed to
install the sewer so that it would conform to the existing
town system. The Town agreed to resurface Ridgewood
Avenue across Route 28 and give the use of the town system
to the Navy for six months after the duration of the war.
Pumping Station.
A new flexible shaft was installed on No. 1 pump
matching the one installed last year on No. 2 pump.
A transformer is being installed insuring lights at all
times, also giving a lower rate on lighting service. A test
piece of waterproofing the wall below the main floor of the
Pump house is proving satisfactory.
The station auxiliary motor operated two days and
three nights almost continuously during the hurricane.
Filter Beds.
A great deal of work has been done at the filter beds.
Iron work has been .painted at spilways, platforms creo-
soted, cracks in cement filled and painted. Holes and cracks
on the outside and inside of the Imhoff tank have been
filled with cement and painted with asphalt.
All the large stones from four beds on the east side
have been removed, resulting in better filterage and control
of weeds. The four beds on the west side will be done next
Spring.
Many trees were blown down during the hurricane.
These are being taken care of as fast as possible to mini-
mize the fire hazard.
Two new sludge beds are needed to take care of the
increase in sludge. These will be put in as. soon as possible.
(189)
Post war extension of the sewage system has been one
of the foremost thoughts in our minds. After a complete
study of the whole town it was found that Winter Street
to Ridgewood, Louis Street and Center Street to the Traffic
Circle, were in need.of sewage. Profile and elevation plans
have been made and are ready for use as soon as the war
is over.

Report of
CIVILIAN DEFENSE COMMITTEE
To The Board of Selectmen,
Town of Barnstable,
During 1944 the activities of this, Committee were
greatly curtailed: It was decided early in the year that it
was no longer necessary to operate the Report Center on a
twenty-four hour basis. After March 21st."thA Report Center
was only manned from 8 A. M. to 4 P. M. Arrangements
were made with the Police Department during such time as
the Center was not manned, to receive`and transmit any
warning signals to certain designated key men.
On June 22nd. throughout the state Civilian Defense
personnel was placed on a call basis and on July 5th. ar-
rangements were perfected so that all air raid warning sig-
nals would come through the State Police.
On July 31st. the Secretary of this Committee, Ira D. H.
Murray, at his request was relieved of his duties in charge
of the Report Center'in order that he might accept-another
position.
Regular monthly meetings were held through June,
suspended until October, and then until further notice.
A State Test Blackout on March 26,th, showed very
satisfactory results, ninety-five per cent of the personnel
being at their posts.
On May 11th. at the time of the. plane crash on the
Barnstable Road near the Fire Station, the Report Center
functioned perfectly, notifying needed personnel, hospital,
(191)
clergy, etc. Efficient help was rendered by members of the
Auxiliary Police and Wardens.
Twice during the year storm warnings were received
and necessary steps taken so as to be ready if needed. On
September 14th. when it became evident that an impending
hurricane would hit this area all key personnel were warned
early in the afternoon and arrangements made to man the
Report Center. The Chief Air Raid Warden, Secretary and
Chairman were on duty from 7:30 P.M.. to 3 A.M. on Sep-
tember 15th. As long as telephone communications remained
contact was kept with the various villages. Several refugees
were cared for in the basement of the Town Building until
they could be moved to quarters later made available to
the Red Cross by the Federated Church in Hyannis. District
Wardens were on duty in all villages. Exceptional help in
warning and evacuating people along the shore was rend-
ered by Sydney Phillips, District Warden of Centerville.
The Committee feels that even though eventually dis-
banded by order of the State 0. C. D: it would be advisable
to retain Town Public Safety organization for use in an
emergency. The value of such a group has been amply dem-
onstrated on several occasions. It is therefore recommended
that following the termination of the present war a meeting
be called and steps taken to form a permanent organization.
The financial statement. is attached. Expenses were
materially curtailed by placing all but two telephones on
an emergency basis, by savings, on supplies for the Report
Center, as well as the elimination of the Secretary's salary.

The Annual Report of the
TOWN ENGINEERS
To the Board of Selectmen
I submit herewith the third annual report of the Town
Engineer.
The•initial idea of making an Assessors' Plan Book for
each of the seven Precincts of the Town is being'followed
and the work of preparing additional sheets for these books
is progressing.
The locating and plotting of land in ,the outlying areas
is consuming a great deal of time. The taxable value of
these properties is low as compared with Shore and Village
properties, but the work is necessary to the making of a
completed Town Map.
The Department has rendered assistance to other de-
partments of the Town, and to the Naval Air Facility at
the Airport, many times during the past year.
A complete replotting of the southerly shore line must
be undertaken in the near future. The shoreline has been
so completely changed by the extreme high winds that this
has become a real necessity.
The demands• upon the Town Engineer .are becoming
more diversified as time goes on. It is a pleasure to feel
that the efforts of this office, having to do with the High-
ways, the Assessors, the Airport and-other equally import-,
ant engineering work, are becoming of increasing value to
the Town.
The fine spirit of cooperation under which this Depart-
ment has been working is a real encouragement.
Respectfully submitted,
LESLIE F. ROGERS,
Town Engineer.

Annual Report of the
PLAYGROUND AND RECREATION
COMMISSION
At the last annual Town Meeting the voters of the Town
of Barnstable appropriated the sum of $12,320.00 to provide
for a program of supervised recreational activities for the
youth and adults of-the Town under the-management of the
Playground and Recreation Commission. It has taken time
to develop a complete program, but the activities now com-
prise baseball, basketball, volley ball, football, tennis, danc-
ing parties, song'fests, ping-pong, hobbies, dramatics, pie-
nics, instruction in swimming, diving and life saving, and
ice skating parties with music, lights, and a bon-fire. The
classes in arts and crafts have given many boys and girls
an opportunity to acquire a practical knowledge of such
subjects as oil-painting, murals, drawing, clay modeling,
plaster casting, woodwork, leather craft, block printing, .
photography, and marionette making.
The enthusiastic support which has been given to these
activities has proven that educational and recreational pro-
grams, properly planned and conducted" under competent
supervision, will go a long way in overcoming the tenden-
cies of youth to get into mischief. Firm.and courteous super-
vision'of the activities of the young people when at play
teaches good sportsmanship and respect for others, devel-
ops character,, and builds morale. Healthy activities, such
as these programs offer, is.a contrast to groups of boys and
girls hanging around with nothing to do.
Juvenile delinquency is a subject of much concern in
these days, but it can be controlled to a great extent by
(194)
recreational programs, and it is to be noted that a large
committee has recently been appointed in the City of Boston
to make 'recommendations for a comprehensive recreational
program for that city.Other communities are taking steps
along these lines, and it is becoming recognized that'the
fault is not so much with the youth or the times as it is with
the municipalities and their indifference to the needs of
youth.
The Town is perhaps fortunate in having Mr. Dominic
J. Welch as its Director of Recreation, and Mr. Sydney V.
Wright as its Supervisor of Arts and Crafts. Mr. Welch is
recognized as one of the foremost recreational directors in
'the Country, and his experience in directing USO activities
enhances his value to the Town. Mr. Wright is unquestion-
ably a leading authority on.the subject of arts and crafts
and as accredited with being one of the best instructors in
this field of'educational activity. Classes at each village
center receive instruction by both .Mr. Welch and- Mr.
Wright.
The program for, indoor activities is carried out at
Freedom Hall in Cotuit, Osterville Community Center build-
ing in Osterville, the schoolhouse in Centerville, and the
Hyannis Community Center in Hyannis. The Osterville Cen-
ter building has had a wing added to it and it is now an
ideal building for gymnasium programs such as basket-ball.
The walls in the basement have recently been decorated with
murals painted by. Mr. Wright. The Hyannis Community
Center is located on the second floor of the building corner
of Main and Pleasant Streets, over the Stop and Shop store,
and is operated under the joint auspices of the Playground
and Recreation Commission and the Hyannis USO Com-
mittee of Management. This combination seems to meet the
needs for a recreation center for the youth and adults of
the Town, and for our boys returning from service in the
armed forces of the United States.
(195)
The Hyannis Center has 4000 square feet of floor space.
There is a large• lounge nicely furnished and equipped with
reading and writing facilities, and'a room for games such
as ping-pong, for the use of the servicemen. The large recre-
ational hall, used by the young people of both sexes, is
equipped for all kinds of indoor pasttimes. It contains four
ping-pong tables, a shuffleboard court, hopscotch court, and
tables for other games. Three other rooms provide for classes
in arts and crafts, reading and writing, and a well equipped
kitchen which is also used as a dark room for developing
photographic films.. The staff of the Recreation Commission
supervises the entire Center and the USO hostesses are in
attendance at social affairs conducted by the Recreation.
Commission.
The program for outdoor sports, with the exception of
baseball, is carried out at Joshua's Pond in Osterville, and
at Hathaway's Pond, located between Barnstable and Hy-
annis. Both ponds have excellent facilities and are operated
under competent supervision featuring swimming- events,
water sports, and instruction in swimming, diving, and life
saving. There is always a lot of activity at the diving rafts,
and life lines make the water safe for children. The large
attendance at both ponds during the summer months is evi-
dence of their popularity. Life guards with-Red Cross cer-
tificates are in attendance at regular and stated hours,'and
the number of small children who were present during the
past season is evidence of the faith which parents have in
the supervision which is provided. Drinking water pumps
and toilet facilities have been installed, and further develop-
ment of the possibilities at the two ponds is contemplated,
including shelter houses picnic tables, open-air fireplaces,
and play areas.
Baseball proved to be as popular as ever, and.the,Barn-
stable Recreation Commission Twilight League was duly
organized with teams representing Barnstable, Hyannis,
(196)
Centerville, Osterville, and West Hyannis. By-laws were
drawn up, managers elected, and a great deal of enthusiasm
was displayed by the members of the league. Prizes were
awarded to the winning teams, and rivalry between the
competing groups was keen. Many boys who are here only
during the summer look forward to renewing their member-
ships in the league, and the prospects are that there will
be a waiting list of prospective members.
The Commission. is mindful of the needs of West Barn-
stable and Barnstable for a recreational program, and it
is hoped that sufficient funds will be made available for
such a program which should be inaugurated without delay.

opportunities suited to their personal needs and sufficient
for the successful operation of a free and democratic society.
They are the trustees for our civilization. What humanity
will achieve a generation hence depends largely on them,
and on their education now. Each of them is a human
being, more precious than material goods or systems of
philosophy. Not one of them is to be carelessly wasted.
All of them are to be given equal opportunities to live and

Report of the School Committee
To the Citizens of the Town of Barnstable:
The annual report of the School Committee for the
year ending December 31,. 1944, together with the annual
report of the Superintendent of Schools is submitted here-
with. -
The regular school appropriation for 1944 was $230,000.
In addition to this amount the committee received from the
Dog Tax, the Cobb Fund and the Smith-Hughes Fund the
sum of $2,692.71 a total of $232,692.71. During the year
$231,779.79 was expended for regular school purposes.,The
Town of Barnstable received as reimbursement from the
State and other sources the sum of $23,639.47 making the
net cost for the support of schools from local taxation for
the year .1944, $208,140.32. A detailed statement will be
found at the end of the Superintendent's report.
The September" hurricane caused considerable damage to
our school buildings, none of ,them escaped altogether.
The Training School and the High School received a,major
portion of the damage. The total estimate of this dam-
age was $4,900 and this amount was set aside by the Finance
Committee for this work from the special Hurricane Fund
voted by the Town and during 1944 the sum of $2;746.29 '
was expended leaving a balance of $2,153.71 with which
it is planned to complete the work this year.
The matter of additional compensation for our entire
personnel to meet the greatly increased cost of living has
received very careful consideration by the committee. To
meet these costs the committee has recommended a sub-
stantial increase in the budget for 1945 over the 1944
expenditures. The committee believes that a careful study
of this subject should convince everyone of the necessity
and reasonableness of this request.
(202)
The buildings and equipment have been maintained in
good repair in spite of rising costs and scarcity of materi-
als. The teaching staff has been maintained at the'usual
high level in spite of many vacancies that have occurred
from time to time. To all members of the school depart-.
ment personnel the committee wishes to express its sincere
appreciation for their cooperation 'and faithful and effi-
cient service.
The post war program outlined in our last a nnual
report still represents the program we hope to see started
as soon as possible and eventually completed. As was to
to be expected the enrollment has shown a decline during
the past two years. It is the opinion of the committee that
in the post war period the enrollment tivill again increase,
and if.the past is any indication of the future it will con-
tinue to increase.
We urge the citizens of the town, even those who do
not have children in school, to visit our schools, especially
when open house is held, and see for themselves what.the
children are doing as well as to inspect the facilities and
equipment.• In these days when so much emphasis is being
placed on mechanical skill the program of vocational in-
struction should be of particular interest. .
During the year the committee held ten regular meet-
ings and four special meetings. Visits have been made to
each school by various members of the committee from
time. to time.
To all groups and individuals throughout the town
who have shown their interest through their cooperation
and help, we extend our sincere thanks.

Report. of the Superintendent of Schools
To the School Committee of Barnstable, Massachusetts
Miss Hinkle and Gentlemen:
As Superintendent of the Barnstable Public Schools,
I respectfully submit to, you my annual report, the fifty-
fifth in such a series.
Through this brief and partial review of a few of the
more. significant phases of the work of the school depart-
ment, I hope to give to,the citizens of Barnstable such in-
formation as will show what is being done in the schools.
In the first part of the report I should like to give a
general impression of the teaching and learning program
going on in the classrooms by reviewing a representative
day in the Barnstable Public Schools at, the third, fifth,
seventh and eleventh grade levels. "The vital part of the
second half of the report is the statistical and financial
data concerning the administration of our schools.
A REPRESENTATIVE DAY IN THE BARNSTABLE
PUBLIC SCHOOLS
A Day in the Third Grade
Margaret came to school on the early bus, and had
a chance to play out-of-doors each morning before school.
It was fun sliding on the ice with the other girls.
Before-school work ij as awaiting for Margaret as she
entered the schoolroom, so she took out her pencil and
quickly began adding the number combinations which her
class was studying.
This was war stamp day and Margaret brought money
to buy three ten cent, stamps. She wanted to help keep the
Minute Man Flag flying.
(204)
k
ad
Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag
It was Margaret's turn to conduct the Opening Ex-
ercises. After the morning prayer was said, Margaret led
the class in-the flag salute and chose "The Star Spangled
Banner" to be sung.
Health Inspection time came and the children decided
that these things show that they are ready for school:
1. Appearance neat
2. Hair combed
3. Fingernails clean
4. Teeth brushed morning and night
5. Handkerchief clean
Margaret was ready for scho6l, for she had remembered
all five things. She was glad that she had brushed ,her
teeth, for the dentist came today. The class sang "Away
to the Dentist We Go."
(205)
Away to the Dentist We Go
Verse:
Our school dentist's a jolly man
He tries to help us all he can
Sometimes we say when he is near.
Hello, Mr. Dentist, we're glad you're here.
Chorus:
Riga-jig-jig and away we go, away we go—to the
_ dentist we go
When we come'back with a card so white
You'll know that our teeth are all right, all right.
Repeat Chorus:
One by one the children went down to see Dr. Burns.
-Margaret showed Peter where to go because he was new
to this school.
Eleven children brought blue cards from the dentist
which tell the parent that these children need to have den-
tal, attention. Margaret was proud that she was one of
the twelve children whose white cards showed that their
teeth were healthy and white.

After the visit to the dentist was over, the children
discussed why some children earned white cards. It was
decided that good teeth are owned by those who
1. Eat the right food
2. Exercise their teeth
3. Use a clean tooth brush.morning and night
and sometimes in between
4. Go-to see the dentist at least twice a year.
Now it was time tq plan the day's work. Margaret
and the class 'suggested these activities:
Number game
Arithmetic paper (a ditto sheet)
Cape Cod "Surprise" game
Reading in each group
Club meeting
Penmanship
,Spelling _
Language game F .
Use of is and are; was and were
Read a story
Sing songs we choose
Use extra time wisely
Recesses: Play "Dodge Ball," "Bat Ball"
Planning the day's work with the teacher increases the
children's interest in accomplishing what has been planned.
Pupils enjoy doing the things they have suggested.
- Margaret showed to her classmates the new chart
which would help them remember how to use their extra
time wisely. It reminded:
1. Finish work
2. Visit our- library
3. Play word games
4. Do Red Cross work
5. Help with Activity work
(207)
At this time the children were studying related facts
in arithmetic:
5 + 7=12
15 + 7=22
25 + 7=32-
35 + 7=42
To develop speed and accuracy a number game was,played
by the class, divided into four groups. Margaret was the
first leader of her group. Other children were leaders as
the teacher. moved from group to group helping and ad-
vising.
Margaret held up a card for her group to answer
27 + 8= The other four children had cards with num-
bers F1i F21 13-1 F F51 F61 �?1 181
F 9 1 and 1_0 1 written on them. They found the two cards
which tell 1 3 5 1 and held them up for Margaret to
see. When all their answers were displayed, she turned the
card over and showed (35) 1 35 1 on the back. The first
one to hold up 3 1 F 5 1 received that card. When Mar-
garet had asked them the ten cards answers, the one who
held the most cards became the next leader, and Margaret
took her turn as a member.of the group.
Margaret's decisions were fair and just, and the chil-
dren accepted all her judgments. Her quiet, controlled man-
ner helped her row work effectively.
The teacher had prepared an arithmetic ditto paper
for each child in column addition using the combinations
drilled on in the game, to develop further skill in this
process. Problems were included to give'practical use of
number facts.
Margaret worked independently, neatly, and accurate-
ly. Finding no errors as she checked her work, she was free
to go to the library corner where she found an interesting
book. Unmindful of the other children who were finishing

their work, reading, or playing word games, she read until
recess time.
The boys and girls each formed a team and played
"Dodge Ball". Margaret played well with her classmates
and showed good sportsmanship. She enjoyed herself im-
mensely and re-entered school with a happy smile on her
face.
The study of Cape Cod is emphasized in the' new "
Social Studies Program
After the children had hung up-their ski things, they
were ready for their Social Studies lesson. This was a sur-
prise game concerning the interesting facts learned about
Cape Cod. Questions were written on slips of paper. A child
pulled-the question out of the box, read it aloud, and called
upon a classmate to answer:
Where is Highland Light?
Where is the Pilgrim Memorial Monument?
How many bridges are there over Cape Cod Canal?
(2U9)
Name the villages in the Town of Barnstable. Name
the towns on the Cape.
There were enough questions for each boy and girl in
the room. If a boy or girl answered correctly, the boy's or
girl's team scored a point. (The game ended in a tie.)
The children answered eagerly and with assurance.
Margaret answered her questions correctly and was ready
to participate, showing a good knowledge of the 'subject
matter. These questions served as a basis to encourage fur-
ther discussion on Cape Cod.
The nest subject on the day's program was reading.
Margaret and her group silently read. from their books "in
order to write answers to questions in their workbooks. An-
other group read silently for story detail. They were gather-
ing information to enable them to•make illustrations for
their reading booklet which was being prepared. The third
group read a-story orally to each other to develop,fluent
reading and comprehension. They read clearly and inter-
estedly.
Margaret worked independently and carefully. She
finished early enough so that she could draw a picture of
".The_The_ Cake Shop on the Corner"', an illustration of her
story. It was a good picture.
Quarter of twelve so soon! Margaret led the girls down
to wash their hands to get ready for lunch. The meal was
all ready when the boys.and girls reached the lunchroom.
Grace was sung before the children sat down. Clean plates
soon testified that the children ate their hash, bread and
butter, and prune whip. All the milk bottles, were empty
at each place, too. After a little quiet time in their room,
Margaret and her friends went out on the playground to
slide on the ice and play tag.
(210)
One o'clock and school began for the afternoon ses-
sion. The "Good Turn Club" held its weekly meeting. The
president for this month called the meeting to order. The
secretary read her report, which was accepted. Since there
was no old business, the new business was considered. It
was decided to have a Valentine party. New helpers were
chosen from volunteers to carry on the tasks that aid in
keeping the schoolroom clean and neat. Margaret offered
to do the dusting. Her name was placed on the "Good Turn
Club" chart. A short story was read for the club:The,reader
asked her attentive listeners questions about the story. The
meeting was adjourned at 1:20.
The children practiced the democratic principles of
living by showing courtesy, thoughtfulness of others, self-
control, fairness, acceptance of responsibility and group co-
operation.
The penmanship lesson found everyone sitting in good
writing positions. The children copied the alphabet from a
ditto sheet provided for them. The capital and small let-
ters were studied together in review to have the children
indicate the difference in size and formation or any similar-
ity. The teacher worked with the children who needed help
with some of the formations. Special practice was provided
for .them. Margaret's paper was neat, and nicely written.
The children were learning recognition of size, slant, form-
ation, and practicing habits of neatness.
In spelling, the class `vas working on the correct spell-
ing of the days of the week.Margaret and the class wrote
original sentences containing the seven. words. This day's
spelling lesson gave practice in using the words and in
using the capital letters just studied during penmanship.
It also aided in the use of periods and question marks at
the end of sentences.
During the language period, each child had a blue card
with a period inked on it,,and a yellow card with a question
(211)
mark. When the teacher held up a card with sentences
such as these:
Where do you live
This is my house
We live on Cape Cod
For. what are bayberries used
the children quietly and quickly held up the card with what
they thought should be placed at the end of the sentence.
To make it even more fun, each row was given a •star for
having the first correct card shown, and a point if the
whole row-had the proper punctuation displayed. Margaret
grew quite excited and the class enjoyed the game very
much.
The afternoon reading'groups took their supplementary
books and began to read. Margaret's group was reading
silently for comprehension. They were to read the story
to the class later and ask the class the questions which they
now were answering. Margaret worked independently and
with concentration.
Two groups were combined to work with the teacher
on vocabulary development. Children looked to find words
of similar meanings from the.list written on the board. Each
child found a word and above it wrote a word of similar
meaning. When they took their seats, 'they were given a
paper containing the same type of work to write. This
served as further experience with familiar words and helped
the children learn other words of similar meanings. They
matched beautiful - pretty; pleasant - nice; apple - fruit;
tune - song.
The recess bell rang and the children put on their win-
ter togs and were ready to play "Bat Ball" together. They
played hard and with great enjoyment, as Margaret's spark-
ling eyes and rosy cheeks showed.
The children were eager to choose songs and to select
the boys and girls to sing the songs to the rest of the class.
(212)
They chose "The Milky Way", "I'm a Duck", and "Sim-
ple Simon". Margaret sang rather shyly with the first
chorus. The tones were light and true and she and the
others sang the words so clearly that everyone could under-
stand the story of the song. The class had fun swaying to
the rhythm of "Rest Tune". Dan showed his new clarinet
to his classmates and played three tones to them. He will
play more for them soon.
The time-to-go-home bell rang before they had sung all
that they wished, but there is always tomorrow to do more
interesting things.
Some of Margaret's friends went to .baton practice,
and Dan went to Mr. Griffiths' for his first lesson in instru-
mental music. Margaret's bus soon carried her home—a
busy, happy day at school ended.
A Day in the Fifth Grade
Tom arrived at school on the 8:30.bus and played on
the playground with the other children until the bell sound-
ed. He then_entered the building, took off his hat and coat
and went to his room. There Tom found some arithmetic
work to do during his before-school time. As he and the
other children in his room worked, they showed good study
habits by doing their lessons quietly, independently and
industriously.
Some beginning-school activities were
1. Checking the lunch ,list
2. Checking attendance
3. Checking weekly duties
Tom took an active part in the following opening
exercises:
Bible reading
Flag salute_
"America the Beautiful"
(213)
"Morning Hymn"
"Skate and Sing"
Tom corrected his before-school arithmetic paper, as
did the other pupils. He recorded his mark on his Daily
Progress Chart kept in his desk. He was now ready for
his regular class work in oral arithmetic problems. Tom,
with his other classmates, worked"to carry out the aim of
this lesson, which was to listen, think, see the picture, de-
cide on the process, and work the problem to obtain the
correct'answer. Some of the children read problems orally
while others studied at their seats. Some worked problems
on the board. Tom then helped pass out the prepared
ditto sheets for the class to work out some problems in-
dependently. This written procedure helped to put into
practice what Tom and the other children learned in their
oral lesson. After finishing the problems, Tom followed
the directions at the bottom of the page, which were to
do some long division examples from the workbook. This
type of activitiy developed accuracy and good reasoning.
After the arithmetic exercises were completed, Tom
and his fellow-pupils turned to oral expression based-on
biography as a phase of the social studies. Tom reported on
the life of Benjamin Franklin, an outstanding leader in
early New England. Tom carried out these 'standards of
good oral speech which were set up by the class:
1. Speak clearly and distinctly to your listeners
2. Use correct English
3. Tell about one,subject
4. Choose words to express your exact meaning
5. Plan to use interesting beginning and ending
sentences.
6. Stand tall; be poised
Tom's report answered the following questions which the
pupils decided they wanted answered about the famous
New Englanders:
(214)
1. Where were they born? When?
2. What was their childhood like?
3. In what were they interested?
4. What kind of education did they receive?
5. Where and how-did they live after they grew
up?
6. Why are they remembered today?
7. When did they die?
Other pupils gave their reports and.the class discussed
the content'as well as the manner in which they were
delivered. It was decided by the class that they would
concentrate more on the principle "Speak clearly and dis-
tinctly to your listeners.'.' They were to continue to work
on this standard in the next lesson.
Supervised Play at Recess
What is ever more welcome to children than the re-
cess bell? After getting ready and leaving- the building,
Tom played "Batball" with the other boys in his class,
while the girls played "Thorn Away." Tom played well
with his classmates. He showed good sportsmanship, fair

play, cooperation, and good judgment in his play. When
it was time to come in, Tom helped by holding open the
door as the other children entered the school.
A Variety of Learning Experiencqs Enriches Educational
Program
The class settled happily into the activities of the
reading lesson. Tom's reading group worked on oral dis-
cussion with the teacher. Tom participated in a very in-
teresting discussion concerning the life in Hastings, Michi-
gan in 1910. Other pupils in the group added, bits of in-
teresting information and asked questions which showed
good thinking. The reactions of Tom and the other inem-
bers showed great interest in their work. One other read-
ing, group in the room worked on word definitions at their
seats and then did some activities in their workbooks on
finding the central idea in a paragraph. The third group
was exploring their lessons to locate new words on which
they wished help. These were copied on a piece of paper to
be'used in the next day's lesson. After this they went to
the room library and found interesting, material to read.
(2f6)
The pupils next turned to the study of everyday sci-
ence. Tom took part in an interesting discussion of these
different phases of the weather: snow, sleet, and hail. Some
children read information to the class, after which followed
interesting questions and statements which showed clear
thinking, interest in the material, and an ability to express
thoughts clearly.
It was now time to get ready for lunch. Tom went to
wash his hands with the other children who ate at school.
The other members of Tom's class dressed in their warm
outdoor clothing and left for home when the bell rang.
After lunch time Tom played out-of-doors with the
other children until the afternoon bell called him and his
playmates back to their rooms. Tom went to his seat
and began the next of the day's activities, his spelling work.
He found his spelling words in his book and proceeded to
copy each one and made a sentence for each to show good
word usage. After finishing this part of his spelling lesson,
he made use of his extra time by working on his arithmetic.
When all pupils were ready, one member of the class led
the others in an oral lesson on the spelling words, for the
day—tobacco, throat, hoarse, coarse, and package. The
class followed these study steps:
L Spell each word orally three tines, saying the word
each time before spelling it
2. Spell it with your eyes closed
3. Write it in the air
4. Write it on your paper as -,ve spell it
Word analysis, which included word parts, vowels and
' syllables' was lead by the teacher. Toni and the other mem-
bers of the class responded well to this type of work. The
final part of the spelling lesson was a test on the five words
studied. Tom wrote the words as the teacher dictated them
to the class. Because Tom didn't write his words neatly the.
(217)
first time, he copied them again before he passed in his
paper.
Now Tom and the other pupils began language study by
creating together an original poem about snow. This lesson
brought out the use of imaginative, descriptive words, a
sense of rhythm and rhyme in words and the expression of
poetic thoughts. The following lines were made up by the
class.
The lovely snow is falling down,
Dancing lightly o'er the town.
It falls so quietly and so still,
As it covers the far away hills.
All the world is so gleaming white,
Our eyes behold a beautiful sight=
This wonderful gift from God above
He,sends to us to show His love.
By this time, Mr. Bearse, the physical education teacher,
had arrived and was ready for the boys to go outside. So
Tom and the other boys put on their coats and hats and-
went out on the playgroud while the girls got ready for
Miss Nehubian. The boys played "Batball" with the boys
from the other fifth grade room. Tom and his playmates
showed good sportsmanship, cooperation, fair play, and fun
in' playing together. When the play time was finished, Mr.
Bearse sent the boys back into the building. Both boys and
girls took off their wraps and came quietly into the room.
Again seated and better fit to continue his language
study, Tom took an active part in the lesson'uotlined to
develop a consciousness for clear and distinct speech
through the correct use of words. The teacher put samples
such as "Lemme go wit you" on the board. Tom corrected
the sentence to make it read "Let me go with you." The
class practiced reading other sentences correctly. After
(218)
working orally, the class was given written work as a check
on the material discussed. Tom worked well on this lesson,
as did the others in his class.
The last type of learning activity for the day was music
appreciation. Some members of the class took turns playing
selections on the piano. This helped to give these pupils
confidence in their work as well as to entertain their friends.
The listeners enjoyed the different selections and,discussed
them as to the type of music, the rhythm, and the atmos-
phere created by each piece. Tom enjoyed the "Minuet in
G" more than the other pieces. After this part of the lesson,
pupils chose songs to sing. They showed good tone quality,
expression, and enunciation of words as well as evident en-
joyment in singing.
Since it was now 3:10, the bell rang for the pupils to
get ready to go home. Tom clapped the erasers, this was
his room duty for the week.,After finishing his task he wait-
ed for the other pupils to leave. Then he sat down at the
piano and began to sing, playing appropriate chords to
accompany himself. Some of his friends who ride on the
same bus enjoyed Tom's music and encouraged him to sing
more. As it was about time for Tom's bus to leave, he left
with his friends, bidding us all a cheerful "Good night."
A Day in the Seventh Grade
Susan, a student from grade seven, was just one of the
lighthearted pupils who got off a local school bus about 8:35.
She chatted with her friends on the way into the building.
Susan went to the room assigned to bus pupils, where a
teacher was in charge. At the 8:45 bell Susan and her
friends proceeded up the stairs, through the halls, to her
home room. On the way she and her group exchanged "good
mornings" with other students as well as with the teachers
(219)
who were on corridor duty in the halls, and stopped to
admire the several displays of art work done by various
pupils and posted along the corridors.
In her home room, Susan.took off her coat, hung it in
the closet, and went to her desk to make ready for the day's
work. When the 9:05 bell rang, the home room teacher took
the attendance and conducted the regular opening exercises,
which consisted of Bible reading by the teacher and the
salute to the flag by both the pupils and the teacher. The
passing bell sounded, and the group passed to the first
period class.
ARITHMETIC Susan's day started with an arithmetic
lesson. The aims for the period were to acquaint the class
with graphs in general, to teach •them how to read and
interpret the various kinds of graphs they will meet in
everyday life; and to give them practice in making bar, line
and circle graphs. The lesson was opened by a discussion
of graphs and their use. The need for, the use of, and the
importance of axes was then fully discussed and demon-
strated. On a large permanent graph chart, the bar graph
was demonstrated, using as a problem the monthly per cent
of purchasers of War Stamps in a given room since Septem-
ber.
The class demonstration and discussion of the line
graph was based upon the marks a pupil might receive in
a series of tests. This, too, was the basis for the follow-up
work as a line graph of test marks is to be kept by the class.
The third type of graph that was taken up and explain-
ed was the circle graph. In a previous unit on, percentage
each student budgeted his allowance on a percent basis.
The assignment was for each,pupil to graph his own budget
on a.circle graph.
(220)
My own Budget

Lunches $:25
Milk .10
Defense Stamps .10

HOUSEHOLD ARTS For Susan's next class we went to
the household arts' laboratory where during the first term
the girls are taught sewing. In a room well equipped with
both electric and treadle machines, an ironing board, and a
triple mirror, each girl works on the term problem—to make
an apron, towel, and potholder for use in the foods classes
next term. '
The specific lesson being taught was the sewing of
buttons. A large blackboard illustration showing the various
steps-in sewing on a button securely was drawn by the
(221)
teacher, who followed it with a step-by-step demonstration.
Each girl, following the directions, proceeded to. sew two
buttons on to her apron for the purpose of attaching the
towel,and potholder. Individual help was given to those who
required it.
In order to bring her apron to its present well-com-
pleted form, each girl has become familiar with the funda-
mental construction problems of sewing and with the use
and care of the sewing machine.
While the girls are sewing, the boys in the class are
in woodwork. Looking in on the group, we saw that each
boy was working on his own problem—either making a
string box, a cornershelf, or constructing a colonial foot-'
stool. Each boy through these projects will gain skills in
manipulating tools correctly and in accurately working
according to given standards.
ENGLISH In Susan.'s English class a composition lesson
was scheduled, the aim of which was to have each child
write a well-organized paragraph on a very exciting ex-
perience which he had had.
r.:

S
�I I ql!III
,
The new guide posts which were to be followed today
were discussed and illustrated through examples from
literature. They were that:
1. The happenings are told in the order in
which they occurred.
2. All the needed ideas are included in the
story.to make it clear, entertaining, and exciting.
3. No unnecessary ideas are included.
The standards for. composition which had been set
up so far this year were again reviewed and listed, and
each child agreed to check himself to be sure he was using
them.
Every other pupil worked just as Susan did. On a piece
of manila paper she wrote down all the ideas pertaining
to her story-in the order in which she thought of them.
When this was completed, she went over the list, asking
herself just what came first. That idea was numbered 1. The
next thought in importance she numbered 2. It was.difficult
for her to decide which of two ideas should come next. A
suggestion from the teacher helped Susan to decide, and
she continued to number the ideas. Three ideas which were
not important enough to use she crossed out.
Susan was then ready to write the first draft of her
story. She thought .hard to get a good opening sentence
which would be so interesting that the reader would want
to read on. She took the ideas in the order in which they
were numbered and put them into complete sentences. Not
being certain of the spelling of the word "gracious," she
got a.dictionary from the shelf. She also used the dictionary
to find a synonym for "happy." Susan continued to write
until she had included 'all the ideas on her list. She wasn't
satisfied with her closing sentence, so went over her thoughts
again for a suggestion as to how to bring her story to a
better close. Then she selected the title "Kindness Does
Pay.".Susan then went on to the last step in writing the
(223)
first draft of a composition—careful pupil checking. She
went over her work to see that:
1. Each sentence was a complete thought, .
began with a capital letter, and had the correct
puntuation mark at the end.-
2. Good English was used.
3. The spelling was correct.
NOON When the first bell rang the class passed their
papers forward and prepared for dismissal. From this class"
the pupils from grades 7, 8, and 9 made ready for lunch
and went to the cafeteria. Susan brought her lunch from
home; but. supplemented it by buying a bottle of milk and
a serving of ice cream, costing a total of seven cents. She
joined her friends at one of the large tables and they ate,
talked, and laughed together until the bell. rang.
GUIDANCE After lunch, Susan's group went to the
guidance class where the underlying objective was to find
out just how patriotism is related to the lives of seventh-
grade boys and girls and how they can fit into the history
of our nation now. This aim was well realized through pupil
and teacher discussion, by the reading of pupil-written
essays on "America Needs Me." and through a short story
told by the teacher of a man whose acts were all directed
to team work despite opposition and difficulties.
Some of the conclusions reached at the end of the lesson
were that:
1. Everyone is needed, and everyone has,a job
to do where he is.
2. The most patriotic thing that seventh-grade
pupils can do is to make the very most of their time
in school now, as that is their job.
3. We must put the good of the nation above
any personal desire.
(224)
4. Characteristics in individuals make our na-
tional character, and it is that which makes our
nation great or tears down its structure.
SCIENCE An explanation of the necessity for know-
ledge of scientific principles involved in everyday living and
a class discussion of -the, history of fire opened this science
lesson, the aim of which was to answer the questions.:
1. What are the scientific principles involved.
in burning?
2. What happens when things burn?
This was demonstrated by examining the, following,
experiment which had been arranged the day before. The
inside of one test tube was dampened, a spoonful of iron
filings was put into the tube and shaken until the filings
stuck to the inside of the tube. The test tube was placed
upside down in a glass of water. Another test tube contain-
ing no filings was also placed. upside down in a glass of
water. Yesterday the pupils noted that the water did not
rise in either tube.
However, after a twenty-four hour lapse Susan and the .
other pupils examined both test tubes and found that the
water had risen slightly in the tube containing the iron
filings, which proved that, something had been removed
from the air. The fact' that a lighted splinter went out as
it was lowered into the tube containing the iron filings
proved that oxygen (02) had been removed from the air.
The iron became heavier because it united with the 02 to
form iron oxide or iron rust.. These results were compared
with the results of the burning of magnesium, as both are
examples of oxidation. The class learned that oxidation took
place so rapidly when magnesium and oxygen unite that
there is heat and light; whereas, in the case of the iron
the oxidation was so slow that the reaction was not accom-
panied by'heat and light.'
(225)
The lesson was brought to a close by a summary given
by different pupils of:
1. The historical background of fire.
2. The scientific principles involved in burn-
ing.
3. The two types of oxidation.
SOCIAL STUDIES ' Period six on Susan's program card
was a social studies period which includes current events
and geography. The activities which the pupils had made
during the previous unit on transportation were attractively
arranged on the. display table.
The, group was starting a unit on Canada in order to
become, acquainted with the regions of Canada and the
Northern Lands, and to know Canada as a neighbor and
friend of our country.
Political and relief maps were displayed on the walls,
and a large outline map of Canada and the Northern Lands
was drawn on the blackboard. Through directed map-study,
the class located each province on a map, and one from the
group wrote the name in the proper place on the board
map. Susan located the province of Ontario on the board
map. A similar procedure was followed in locating and
recording the territories, rivers, lakes, oceans, bays, and
cities. r
A special assignment on research problems for presenta-
tion to the class had been given to various pupils for report
during the lesson. These reports were well prepared, well
given, and added much valuable background information to
the study.
Outline maps, together with a sheet of directions, were
given to each pupil for follow-up work.
The room had very attractive bulletin boards, display-
ing both illustrative materials and children's projects.
(226)
'
&t the end of the Defiod' Susan was one of the several.
pupils to receive m library permit slip, so that special re-
search uaoignzuoota could be prepared for the next oluuo
period.
Now every child returned to his bozuo room for the
seventh period'which he devoted to oxtru'ou' rrioolur activ-
ities such as band, oroboatru' the school paper, Junior Ilad
Oroua' to scheduled assembly Drugzuzum; or to u onyorvioad
_ study period in the home room; or to » library period.
After the bozua room touubor checked the attendance,
Snauu and other members ofthe group brought their library
permit slips to the teacher for her oiQuutoro. They tkoo
went to the school library, giving their permits to the
librarian.
LIBRARY Over forty pupils were in the library this
period, each one busily at work either doing research on u
problem, ooDplezuootiog the formal reading instruction in
the oluaaroozu by free reading, selecting u book for u book
report; or, reading for pleasure. Snouo worked on her pro-
blem on Canada. `
(227)
`
A bell at 2:40 gave the`signal to return to home room
and prepare for dismissal. Then out to the bus and on the
way home!
A Day in the'Eleventh Grade
Carl Smith, a college course eleventh grade pupil in
Barnstable High School, arrived at the school at 8:55 after
a short walk from his home. He went directly to his home
room, and after the 9:05 bell rang to indicate the opening'
of school, he listened to the reading of a selection from the
Bible and joined his classmates and the teacher in pledging
allegiance to the flag.. At 9:10 the bell rang for pupils to
pass to their first period class, which for Carl and the other ,
members of his group is Physical Education.
In the locker room Carl changed from his street clothes
into an old pair of trousers, a sweat shirt and sneakers, and
climbed the circular iron stairs into the boys' gymnasium,
where he joined the other fast dressers and spent the next
three minutes shooting baskets until the entire class was
on the floor.
When the instructor blew his whistle, Carl lined up
with the other boys and the' class was divided into .two
groups. Carl's group was made up of those boys who were
to climb the 22 foot ropes suspended from the rafters of the
gymnasium. After all members of the group had tried the
climb with varying degrees of success, they moved over to
the parallel bars. First they jumped to an arm rest position
and, travelled the length of the'bars by swinging through
and coming to a position astride the bars. In the next exer-
cise they tried to go the length of the bars by walking
on their hands.
The exercise on the rope and bars had consumed about
fifteen minutes and had given the boys vigorous exercise
for their arm, shoulder, and back muscles. The rest of the
period -was devoted to two basketball games. Carl belongs
(228)
to one of four teams whose members are selected at the be-
ginning of the indoor season. After playing for eight min-
utes, the boys hurried down to the locker room to take .
showers and dress.When the bell rang, Carl went upstairs
to his next class, which wa-s second year French.
The purpose of the French lesson was to have the pupils
learn'the verbs and impersonal expressions that require
de with a complimentary infinitive. The first part of the
period was- devoted to reviewing the meaning of various
verbs and the grammatical rules involving their use. Follow-
ing this, the teacher assigned and explained the work to be
done for the following day. The class was then divided into
two groups, one group going to the blackboard to write
sentences in,French while the second group remained at
their desks and answered questions on the use of French
verbs and prepositions. Pupils were then called on to make
corrections in'the sentences which had been written on the
blackboard.
Carl's next class, which was advanced algebra, was re-
viewing in preparation for a test on the use of,exponents.
Examples in the day's assignment were corrected, and ex-
amples which had caused any difficulties were explained.
The last part of the period was used for oral drill and the
working of examples without the use of pencil and paper.
In Carl's English class the main topic for discussion
was.Washington's Farewell Address. The teacher attempted
to correlate the discussion with the recent work of the
pupils in their American History class by having them re-
call the circumstances of Washington's second term and
the problems of the United States at that time. The class
then analyzed the main points of Washington's advice on
our domestic and foreign problems. During the discussion
the point was emphasized that much of this address would
undoubtedly have been changed if Washington had been
writing it in 1943. Following this, a set of compositions

from possible damage from chemicals. Directions for the
day's work had been written on the blackboard at the front
of the room. After setting up the apparatus and obtaining
the necessary chemicals from the instructor, Carl began his
experiment, which dealt with solutions of,gases, liquidsy and
solids. First a test tube half full of water was placed over
a flame, the object being to find out if air is less soluble
in hot water than in cold water. Observing closely, Carl
found that as the water was heated, air bubbles arose from '
the solution. This proved that air is less soluble in warm
water than in cold. Ammonium hydroxide was substituted
for the water and the same procedure followed. The strong
smell of ammonia began to fill the room, which proved with-
out a doubt that ammonia is also less soluble in warm water
than in cold. Three test tubes were half filled with water
and placed in a rack. One gram of blue copper sulphate
was placed in the first tube, one gram of white calcium car-
bonate in the second, and one gram of potassium perman-
ganate in the third. Only a small amount of copper sulphate
was 'dissolved, the calcium carbonate did not dissolve, but
the potassium permanganate dissolved very easily. All the
solutions were filtered and about 5 cc. of each was.evapo-
rated in a watch glass. After heating and driving'the water
from the solution, Carl noticed that crystals of copper sul-
phate were left in the dish, showing that copper sulphate
had been dissolved in solution. The experiment proved that
some solids are very soluble, some slightly soluble, while
others are insoluble. After finishing the experiment, the:
pupils cleaned and put away their equipment, opened their
notebooks, and copied the facts about the experiment from
notes they had made on the data sheet.
The last period in the day is devoted to various school
activities, such as military drill, glee club, dramatic club,
band, school magazine and assembly programs. Pupils who
have no activity scheduled on a particular day spend the
period in their home rooms preparing their work for the

following day. Since Carl plays a trombone in the band,
he joined the other band members-in the auditorium for
their Monday rehearsal and practiced a program which was
scheduled to be broadcast from the school over WOCB the
next day. When the rehearsal was over Carl returned to his
room, where he remained until dismissal at 2:45.
Evaluation
These illustrative typical school days present a general
impression of the work going on in our schools. You will
observe that in each of these records, effort has been made _
.to set up purposeful activities that create a stage for
effective learning. You will notice, too, that emphasis has
been not only upon the acquisition of skills, knowledges,
and points of vievT but upon the development of the security,
happiness, comfort and success that make for better, en-
riched living. The schools are trying to offer a constructive
environment that will result in habits, attitudes, and skills
that are enduring. We believe that education should help
the child to get along without his teacher and to become a
happy, well adjusted individual equipped to function intelli-
(232)
gently and t9 the best of his ability in a democratic social
order. However, this philosophy does not indicate that we'
intend to leave the pupil free to do what he pleases, but
rather.to guide him to recognize and to find delight in de-
sirable mental and bodily,activity.
Conclusion.
I wish to express my sincere thanks to all those who
have cooperated with. the. school,department during the
year. Finally, to. you the members of the School Committee,
I extend my sincere .gratitude for .your helpful assistance
and sympathetic understanding.
Respectfully submitted,
MELVIN C. KNIGHT.

SELECTMEN'S REPORT
Fellow Citizens:
As the writer carefully read the greater part of toe
contents of this book before it reached the printer's hands,
he feels quite certain_ that all public spirited citizens who
peruse its pages will derive considerable satisfaction from
the record of the 1945 Town Meeting and the reports and
accounts of the various officials to`whom they have entrust-
ed the administration of the public affairs of the town.
The Selectmen are very happy to be able to report that
they have, for another difficult year, received well nigh
perfect cooperation from all other officials and from the
public at large, and that politics is still very conspicious in
the town by reason of its almost total absence.
As we look back upon the old year and begin a new
one we are conscious of many different emotions which
dominate our thoughts and actions.
We rejoice and exult because the awful war is over
and that the savage human beasts who arose and nearly
succeeded in destroying civilization have themselves been
destroyed. For three long years our social and economic
life was bled white by the absence of nearly all our young
men and many women also. At this writing about one-half
of the 1200 have returned to us and others are coming daily.
It fills all our hearts with gladness and renewed faith in
the future as we see them step into their natural places with
all the ambition and enterprise which-youth alone possesses.
We are saddened because of those twenty-nine who
will never return and because of those who were sorely in-
jured, but we know that none of those would want us to
allow ourselves to become depressed in spirit because of
their great sacrifice.
(9)
We have many things to be thankful for, and many
reasons to face the future with renewed faith and confi-
dence in the future of our town. We have recovered from
the effects of the disasterous hurricane of 1944 to a degree
far beyond anything we dared to hope for a year ago. The
courage and morale of the people who own most of our
shore property and upon whom depends so largely our well-
being and prosperity is very high, and there is every indi-
cation that property values will not only be sustained but
enhanced fn the future.
There is, however, one bad fly,in the ointment, and
because it is a matter of grave concern and apprehension
to every thinking citizen from one end of this great land
to the other, the writer expects to be forgiven if he takes
advantage of his prerogative to use this page as a medium
of public expression to earnestly urge every intelligent citi-
zen who reads it to write or wire their Senator and Repre-
sentative in Congress and in the State Legislature demand-
ing action that will speedily put a stop to the lawlessness
and downright anarchy now rampart in the land by reason
of arrogant and tyrannical dictators who have seized power
to control labor in .our great basic industries, and who are
at this moment sapping our economic life blood by stopping
production without which we cannot survive under modern
methods and modes of living. If this sort of thing continues
for only a short time we shall have no freedom or liberty
and no government at all except that of tyrants of the type
who now control the sources of production without the law.
The writer also earnestly urges every thinking citizen
to do all in his power to arouse public opinion in his own
sphere of action, upon the vital necessity of properly edu-
eating the coming generations in the public schools on the
duties and responsibilities of citizenship in a civilized state
of society.
There has always been prevalent and there still is in
this country an extremely dangerous philosophy which is
(10)
born of ignorance, naivete and slothful thinking. It is the
) ' belief that this great resourceful nation of free people can
endure any amount of governmental abuse and still survive.
ARE WE UNABLE TO READ AND COMPREHEND
THE WRITTEN RECORD OF THE HISTORY OF CIVIL-
IZED MANKIND?,
CHESTER A. CROCKER,
Chairman of the Board of Selectmen.

the several departments in which money is collected or
(60)
bills are committed for collection, and with the records of
the town treasurer.
The general and appropriation accounts in the ledger
were analyzed, the appropriations and transfers being
compared with the town clerk's record of financial votes
passed in town meetings and with the finance committee's
records of transfers from the reserve'fund. A trial balance
was taken off proving the accounts to be in balance, and a
balance sheet, showing the financial condition of the town
on December 31, 1944, was prepared and is appended to
this report. This balance sheet shows .that the town is in
very good financial condition.
The books and accounts of the town treasurer were
examined and checked in detail. The cash book was footect,
the recorded receipts were analyzed and compared with
the,departmental records of payments to the treasurer and
with other sources from' which money was paid into the
town treasury, while the records of disbursements were
compared with the accounting officer's books and with the
treasury warrants.
The treasurer's cash balance on February 10, 1945 was -
proved by actual count of the cash in the office and by
reconciliation of the bank balances with statements fur-
nished by the banks of deposit.
The recorded payments on account of maturing debt
and interest were verified by comparison with the amounts
falling due and checked with the cancelled securities on
file.
The savings bank books and securities representing
the investments of the trust and investment funds in the
custody of the town treasurer were examined and listed,
the income being proved and the disbursements being
verified.
(61)
The records of tax titles held by the town were
examined and checked in ,detail. The taxes and assess-
ments transferred to the tax title account were checked to
the collector's records, and ,the redemptions and fore-
closures were verified. The tax titles on hand were listed,
reconciled with the accounting officer's ledger, and com-
pared with the records in the Registry of Deeds.
In connection with appropriations for unpaid bills of
a' prior year, attention is called to the provisions of Sec-
tion 64, Chapter 44, General Laws, which requires that
certain certificates be filed with the selectmen before- the
bills may be paid.
The books and accounts of the town collector were
examined and checked. The town and fire district taxes,
assessments, and departmental accounts outstanding at the
time of the previous examination.and all subsequent com-
mitments were audited and proved, the payments to the
town and district treasurers were verified, the abatements
were checked to the assessors' record of abatements granted,
and the outstanding accounts were listed and proved with
the accounting officer's ledger.
Vertification of the correctness of the outstanding ac-
counts was made by mailing notices to a number of per-
sons whose names appeared on the books as- owing money
to the town and the fire districts, and from the replies re-
ceived it would appear that the accounts, as listed, are
correct.
The town clerk's records of dog, sporting, and mis-
cellaneous town licenses issued were examined, the pay-
ments'to the State being verified by comparison with the
receipts on file and the payments to the town treasurer
being compared with the treasurer's cash book.
.The financial records of the selectmen, the sealer of
weights and measures, and of the police, health, and school
(62).
departments, as well as of all other departments collect-
ing money for the town, were examined and checked with
the treasurer's cash receipts and with the records of the
accounting officer.
The surety bonds of the financial officials bonded for
the faithful performance of their duties were examined
and found to be in proper form.
Appended to this report, in addition to the balance
sheet, are tables showing a reconciliation of the treasurer's
and the collector's cash, summaries of the town and fire
district taxes and assessments, tax titles, and departmental
accounts, together with tables showing the condition and
transactions of the trust and investment funds.
While engaged in making the audit, cooperation was
received from the officials of the town, for which, on behalf
of my assistants and for myself, I wish to express appre-
ciation.
Respectfully submitted,
HERMAN B. DINE,
Assistant Director of Accounts

• Report of the
SURVEYOR OF HIGHWAYS
I wish to submit the following report for the year 1945:
Labor conditions have remained about the same as in
1944, but we have been able to do considerable work reseal-
ing, resurfacing and reconstructing in many of the hurri-
cane affected areas.
Several miles of road have been resurfaced. Part of
Mill Way in the village of Barnstable, 2,000 feet on Sea-
view Avenue in Wianno, 4,000 feet on South County Road,
Osterville, Ridgewood Avenue and others.
About nine miles of road have been treated with
asphalt seal, some with sand but mostly with peastone.
It has been necessary to build or rebuild about 6,600
feet of guard rail with cement posts and wire cable. Most
of our wooden fence is in bad shape and needs replacing.
Surface drainage conditions have been improved in the
worst places. The Osterville project has not been completed
fori the reason that we were unable to get labor or any
contractor to do the work. We expect to start this work
at an early date.
Several hundred feet of asphalt walk have been built
and we expect to build more the coming year as we have
the funds and we hope labor will be available for this type
of work.
Street and traffic signs.have been repaired and replaced
and many new ones are ready to be put up in the early
spring. Street marking will be done as soon as weather
is suitable.
Many,of the temporary repairs made after the hurri-
cane. have been permanently rebuilt, and in most cases
(140)
greatly improved, such as Ocean Avenue in Hyannis, Bumps
River Bridge on South County Road, Craigville Beach, Bay
Lane, etc.
Grand Island Bridge and approaches have been improv-
ed. The.bridge is in poor condition, but safe. The new
bridge contemplated should be built as soon as possible
while the old structure is able .to handle traffic during
construction.
Buildings and equipment of the Department are in good
condition. We have many visitors from cities and towns
in New England inspecting our .garage and repair shop
which is one of the best in the state.
We have been able to purchase two new trucks and
an air compressor. A new sweeper is needed as the old
one is eight years of age and is badly worn.
I wish again, to thank the officials and committees of
the Town and also the citizens for their co-operation and ,
assistance.

share• of the cost of Chapter 90, Maintenance, and that in
addition, the sum of $12,00600 be transferred from un-

Report of -the
INSPECTOR OF BUILDING
To the Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable .
Gentlemen:
During the year 1945, one hundred and sixty-one build-
ing permits were issued.
21 were for new homes
13 for camps
29 for garages
25 for,business purposes
65 for alterations and repairs, and
6 for hurricane repairs
The total estimated valuation of these permits was
$152,400.00. This amount is $39,770.00 more than in 1944.
During the year I attended seven meetings of the
Massachusetts Building Inspectors Association in Boston.
Also two hearings before the Commissioner of Public
Safety.
Starting November 1, 1945, all inspections, formerly
done by the State Inspectors, excepting theatres, churches,
and schoolhouses, were turned over to the local Inspectors
in.the various towns and cities in the State.
As a direct result of the Cocoanut Grove Club disaster
in Boston a few years ago, the Legislature in.1945 passed
many drastic amendments to Chapter 143 which relates to
the erection, alteration, use and inspection of buildings.
These amendments cover 31 typewritten pages, and the
regulations, made by the Massachusetts Department of
t ,(146)
Public.:Safety by the authority.conferred .upon.them by
Chapter 143, covers 37 pages.
A careful study of these laws and regulations discloses
a very grave responsibility now rests on the shoulders of
the Selectmen, and inspectors of buildings appointed by
them, in every town in the Commonwealth as well as all
Mayors and Inspectors of all cities.
Failure to exercise due care and much diligence would
place the blame squarely on their shoulders should a bad
accident occur.
Respectfully submitted,
HOWARD G. LUMBERT
Building Inspector.

To the Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable:

Considerable increase in new electrical construction
was noted this year but for the most part my duties have
been concerned with the reconstruction of the damage
caused by the hurricane of September 1944.
Two electrical fires were reported, one caused by de-
terioration and lack of maintenance of an old wiring sys-
tem, and one from temporary wiring for Christmas tree
decorations.
I have attended six of the'nine-meeting of the Electri-
cal Inspectors Association held in Boston, Massachusetts.
For the year ending December 31, 1945:

Town of Barnstable
To the Citizens of the Town of Barnstable:
I would like to report that this Department has done
everything possible to repair the damage caused by the
hurricane and numerous severe wind storms during the
past year. A crew of men were employed during the winter
and spring along the highways removing the broken and
uprooted trees. All men available were used in this work
until the roads became passable and safe. The amount of
work accomplished on the large shade trees was limited
because of the lack of specialized help available for this
type of work. During the latter part of the year, a full
working crew has been secured and trained. It has been
impossible to follow a set pattern in this work because
it is necessary to remove first the weakened and broken
branches.
Many large shade trees throughout the town were dam-
aged to such an extent that it was necessary to brace and
bolt 'these trees to prevent further damage or total loss.
This work is highly specialized and consumes a great deal
of time.
The young shade trees in the town have been pruned
and fertilized. The larger number of young shade trees
on Route 132, which were uprooted and damaged, have
been restored. Young shade trees in exposed areas which
were badly damaged by the hurricane have been retarded
one (1) to five (5) years. It is the plan of this Department
to replace the young shade trees that were destroyed dur-
(149)
ing the past year. It will also be necessary to make re-
plantings where trees have been destroyed.
The Tent Caterpillar situation remains much the same.
There is continued improvement in the residential areas,
but the roadsides in the outlying _districst where the Wild
Cherry is prevalent continues to be badly infested. I be-
lieve there will be an improvement in this condition due
to the removal of many of the trees from the roadsides.
The Elm Beetle infestation has shown improvement
during the past year. The Elms in the town were sprayed
twice to insure satisfactory control. The necessary contact
sprays to combat this insect were not available this year,
so this Department had to depend on a stomach poison
which is Tint always adequate.
The Dutch Elm disease continues to be found in many
new localities throughout New England, but as yet has not
been found in this area. This Department will continue to
be on the lookout for any new disease.
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN F. SHIELDS, ,
Tree Warden.

MOTH DEPARTMENT
To the Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable:
I am very pleased to report that,the Gypsy Moth
situation throughout the town is very much improved. The
trees bordering the main highways in all the villages in
the town showed very little defoiliation. The general im-
provement was the best in many years. The general moth
situation in the large tract of woodland showed a cor-
responding improvement. This great decrease in the,amount
of defoiliation caused by the Gypsy Moth has been traced
partially to the hurricane. The severe hurricane damage to
the desidious trees made it impossible for the newly hatched
Gypsy Moths to find sufficient food for their subsistance,
as a result, a great many died shortly after hatching.
Due to the lack of labor available and the amount of
work necessary as a result of the great hurricane damage,
little was done on the creosoting of the Gypsy Moth egg
clusters in outlying districts. It was necessary to confine
the work to the shade trees throughout the villages.
The spraying was started at the usual time and,con-
tinued throughout the spraying season. Labor shortage and
the frequent changing of personnel made it necessary to
change the spraying schedule from day to day according
to the help-available.
Contact sprays were impossible to get in any quantity
due to war time restrictions. This made it necessary to use
substitutes which were sometimes not as efficient as regular-
ly used in contact sprays. Most of these restrictions have
been removed and it is the belief of this Department that
better insecticides will be available during the coming
season.
(151)
A crew of five (5) men were kept busy for several
weeks creosoting and cutting the Brown Tail Moth in the
various colonies in the town. A large percentage of the
Brown Tail Moths are found on the North side of the town
and these colonies are kept confined to those areas and are
reduced from year to year. It will be impossible to get rid
of this pest until the large infested area on Sandy Neck
is eliminated.
The Fall Webb Moth was very prevalent during the
past Fall. There has been an increase of this pest in the
past two years due to the lack of labor available for control
work. The pest has to be cut and destroyed in order to
control it. I feel this unsightly pest will show a decline
during the coming season, because the necessary labor with
which to control. it will be available.
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN F. SHIELDS,
Moth Superintendent.

Report of
FOREST FIRE WARDEN
To the Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable:
Gentlemen:
I herewith submit my loth annual report for the year
ending December 31, 1945.
The Forest Fire Department responded to the largest
number of calls on record for grass and brush fires this
year. There was a total of 77. On April 24th, the morning
train to Boston set 23 of these fires in the Town of Barn;
stable.
The hazard in the woods this season was the worst on
record due to the hurricane and could have been much
worse without favorable weather conditions. We were very
fortunate in holding the acreage for the year to approxi-
mately 50 acres burned over, 30 acres of which was salt
marshland. A contributing factor to' the success of the
season vas the fire consciousness and cooperation of the
public. Let us not forget that while a great deal of clearing
up has been done, in and around our villages, the forest
will still be a tinder box for several years to come.
A Patrol with two men was started early this year,
clearing back roads which had become blocked with more
fallen trees and continued on closing the season by burning
the heavy accumulation "of hurricane wood and stumps at
the Town Dump. A heavy bulldozer was also employed by
this department to make a 200 ft. firebreak around the
area which will be used the coming season thereby remov-
ing, as much as possible, the fire hazard from that source.
A second Patrol was added on particularly bad days. I
strongly recommend the same setup this coming season.
(153)
Owing to the State changing its Radio system in,the
Towers to F.M. it was necessary for this Department to
change our-system ,to F.M. also. This has been done and is
working out very satisfactorily. The State has started, and
is continuing, a program of clearing firebreaks along certain
roads where conditions are particularly bad in this and
other Towns on the Cape. This should prove a big help.
In closing I wish to thank all who have co-operated
in any way.
Respectfully submitted,
B. S. AMES,
Forest Fire Warden.

Report of
THE SHELLFISH CONSTABLE
For the Year 1945
To the Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable:
I herewith submit to you my nineteenth report as
Shellfish Constable of the Town.
In spite of the fact that the income received from A
shellfish in 1945 was the second highest on record, unusual
conditions continued to prevail and the outlook for the
next few years is uncertain to say the least. These unusual
conditions, probably due in part to weather, have resulted
in our getting practically no permanent set during the
past two or three years. Of course, this means that some-
thing is radically wrong with the growing conditions on
the flats as the ordinary enemies of shellfish have been-kept
under control. Adult clams, as well.as the yearly clam set,
have grown very slowly.and the quality has been unusually
poor. The only apparent explanation is poor.seed and un-
suitable weather conditions. Although the past summer
season appeared to be much more favorable, we did not
get, as far as we are yet able to determine, a decent set
of clams. Even the scallops this year in many areas were ,
much poorer than usual. Some are of the opinion that thy;
great amount of trash blown into 'the water by the hurri-
cane may have had some effect on the shellfish.
The state of war existing until recently has also
brought up all sorts of conditions to aggrevate the situation
further. Shortage of other kinds of food have brought a
much heavier demand on shellfish and the price has conse-
quently been higher than ever before.
Since neighboring towns have had very little shellfish,
the taking for family use in this town has been extremely
(157)
heavy. So much so that the supply for family use is nearly
exhausted; particularly in respect to clams on the north
side. I would therefore suggest that the taking of shellfish
for_family use be curtailed in some way until the available
areas have a chance to come back into production again.
PROPAGATION AND PROTECTION
As the seasons go by and we bear in mind the lack
of new set recently, we are more convinced than ever if it
had not been for our organized program of propagation
and protection our shellfish supply, especially of clams on
the north side, would now be completely exhausted. During
1945 we kept after shellfish enemies and were successful
in controlling them. We employed one man on full time
from June 15th to November 15th; one man part time
during the same period; and a third man part time in
August. Work was confined largely to areas where we hope
to dig during the 1946 season for town trade. The total
number of enemies destroyed in 1945 was 108,000 as com-
pared with 109,000 a year ago. Most of the horseshoes
destroyed in 1945 were small which would seem to indicate
that our work in previous years was successful. It was not
necessary to do any work on grass on the clam areas as
,very little appeared.
-We have had reports from scallop fishermen on the
south side that starfish are again on the increase and we
would recommend"that money be appropriated to be used
in conjunction with state money to do some starfish work
next fall.
The eel grass which disappeared so many years ago
seems to be now coming back, in many areas, particularly
on the north side. We should report also that large beds
of mussels are now coming in where beds of'eel grass used
to be. The mussels are so small as not to be useful and may
some time have to be removed from natural shellfish areas.
(158)
CLAMS
For many years the quantity of clams taken has ex-
ceeded that of any other type of shellfish. In 1945, however,
this was not true because of the scarcity of clams and also
because digging was only for trade in the Town of Barn-
stable. In the table below the amounts of clams taken in
typical years and the average price received for them are
listed.
Year Bushels Taken Average Price per Bushel
1937 51,000 $1.33
1943 29,000 1.33
1944 23,000 1.33
1945 4,175 4.13
In 1937 there were 320 permits issued and clams could
be sold out of town during the entire year while in 1945
there were only 31 permits issued and selling was confined ,
to in-town trade.By closing the harbor to all but town trade
and digging only three days per week during 1944 and
,1945, we have been able to supply steadily a large portion
of the demand. We have been able to do this without work-
ing on areas where digging would be injurious to the large
numbers of small clams. This procedure in turn assures us
of a reasonable supply of clams for in-town trade in 1946.
During the winter the demand is not particularly heavy
and the larger clams are mostly in demand. .
Two of the areas where the clams were too small in 1945
should be ready for 1946—"William Nelson's Flat" and
"Light House Cove." Both areas should have been ready
this year but were not due to the extremely slow growth.
These areas, together with other areas that can be re-dug,
will supply us, we hope, with a sufficient number of steamer-
size clams for in-town trade in 1946. However,.if the growth
is as slow as it has been for the past two or three years,
there is some doubt as to whether the two flats mentioned
above will give us enough clams to carry through the season.
` (159)
Our supervisor and I have made many surveys; kept
many figures on many areas; have'watched the areas and
discussed the advisability of working in one section of the
harbor instead of another, with the thought constantly in
mind of conserving the supply and saving a reasonable
amount for the 1946 season. As is usual, of course, there
has been a certain amount of criticism from those who
argue that the clams will die if they are not taken (this
is a stock argument) and others who maintain that the
flats should be dug over anyway even though most of the
clams are too small. We feel sure, however, that our com-
bined judgment has'been reasonably good in this respect.
In co-operation with the State Department of Conservation,
Division of Marine Fisheries, we have been attempting to
work out a program for re-seeding during the next few
years to provide at least a partial supply of clams until
such time as sets appear and live to give us a natural
supply again. With almost no set in 1943 and 1944 and
probably none in 1945, the years of 1947 and 1948 at least
are bound to be lean years as far as clams are concerned.
Although the State provides the seed clams, if they
are available, the town has to supply the labor, boats, and
tools for re-seeding projects.
SCALLOPS '
The amount of money received for the 1945 scallop
catch was the highest of which we have record in spite of
the fact that_the number of bushels was only seventh high-
est, in the past fifteen years. This situation was brought
about because the price was the highest we have ever had.
The season's fishing lasted about the same-length of time
as last year; but, unlike last year, the supply was not
confined to Lewis Bay, as some scallops were found in
West and North Bay in 'Osterville, and some in Cotuit,
Seapuit, and Popponnessett. The increase in the total catch
was due to the fact that there was a supply in these addi-
tional areas.
(160)
Dredging difficulties due to the hurricane were much
less this year than last. The quality'of Lewis Bay scallops
was about the same as last year's as was also true in other
sections of the town except West and North Bay where
the scallops opened very poorly. Although conditions have
been favorable, there has been no sign of scallop seed being
washed ashore and reports from fishermen also would seem
to indicate that prospects for 1946 were 'not too bright.
However, there could, of course, be sets of seed in areas
not dredged this,year.
QUAHAUGS
This part of the industry established a record not sur-
passed during the last thirteen years since nearly $40,000
was received by fishermen. The years of 1939 and 1940
were higher as to the number of bushels taken but not
as to fishermen's receipts. This, of course, was due to the `
abnormally high price which, contrary to custom, held up
during the entire season. The large amount taken was
partially due to the opening of the seeded areas in Lewis
Bay during August and September. (August 6th to Sep-
tember loth). An average of about eight or ten men worked
in this area.I The yield was entirely little necks which
brought a price of $4.00 to $4.50 per bushel. Nearly 800
bushels were taken altogether. Subsequently, about 100
bushels of seed were taken from the inner bay and planted
in this same area. This area will be.kept closed for a year
or two. As it now stands, it has been re-seeded in 1940, 1941,
1943, and 1945 with a total of 856 bushels and at a cost
to the town of $722.00. The area has been opened twice;
once in 1943 and once in 1945, and a total of 1,463 bushels
taken, bringing to the fishermen a return of $5,115.00 or
$4,393.00 more than the cost to the town.
The above figures which were verified by State officials
should answer any arguments as to the desirability of this
type of project, and also answer the argument sometimes
heard that fishermen take out the quahaugs as fast as they
(161)
are planted. After being left for a year or two this area
is bound to produce again a substantial supply of quahaugs.
'As to .the prospects of a continued plentiful supply
of quahaugs, we should state that our own observation and
that of fishermen would seem to indicate that sets- have
not been particularly plentiful the past two or three years.
Unless some new' areas show up, there may be somewhat
of a scarcity in this type, of shellfish after a year or two.
This lack of set might again be due to the fact that the
whole character of many of the flats seems to have changed;
and due perhaps also to the excessive amount of,trash and
debris blown into the water by the hurricane.
RAZOR FISH
Like other parts of the shellfish industry the income
from razor fish this year, although not large as compared
with certain other years, was fairly high due to very high
prices. The demand for razor fish is mostly for bait and
although there are certain other types of bait which are
cheaper, razor fish are sufficiently more durable so that
fishermen are willing to pay what formerly would have
been considered exorbitant prices in order to get them and
avoid extra baiting. The supply of razor fish seems to be
slightly better than in 1941 and 1942. During the coming
year with the number of days for digging clams limited,
fishermen will no doubt spend more time in digging razor
fish.
GENERAL
To sum up, it would seem that in the immediate future,
with the general scarcity in food to continue, high prices
for shellfish will help to off-set our somewhat limited supply.
I should also again call your attention to the fact that
something should be done to conserve the supply of shellfish
available for family use, since the drain of the past couple
(162)
of years has been abnormally heavy. Some kind of regula-
tions to help the situation would seem to be necessary.
We have felt for some time that something should be '
done to help finance the program of Propagation and Pro-
tection. We have received a report that a Recess Commis-
sion appointed to study into the Marine Fisheries has
recommended to the Governor that a much more substantial
amount of money be appropriated by the State for Propaga-
tion and Protection work. We note that the Governor has
recommended this appropriation in his message to the
Legislature. This money, if voted by the Legislature, would
be available for use with town money. Anticipating the
possibility of something of this kind, the town has already
begun a program to help meet these additional demands
and to finance this re-seeding project. The first step in this
program was the raising of the price of shellfish permits
from $2.00 to $5.00 each. The shellfish propagation and
protection plans now under consideration by the State
and town authorities, if put into operation, should result
in a substantial improvement in the shellfish supply.
Whether these plans are carried out will depend,.of course;
on the money being appropriated by the Legislature. It
should be quite evident to all that 'the shellfish industry
cannot depend upon natural sets to provide a constant
supply of shellfish. There are bound to be years when sets
of all types of shellfish simply do not live and means must
be taken to overcome the results of such years.
Therefore, those of us in the State and town who have
the above plans under consideration hope that all who are V
interested .will try to realize that we are attempting to
help the situation and bring about a more satisfactory situ-
ation in the.shellfish industry.

Report of
BOARD OF PUBLIC WELFARE
The year of 1945 was another year of plentiful em-
ployment and high wages. Therefore it is almost unneces-
sary to state that our Public Welfare was confined entirely
to those who were physically unable to work. For the sixth
consecutive year our total expenditures for Public Wel-
fare showed a sizable decline over the previous year from
$37,000 in 1944 to $30,800 in 1945, and were less than at
any time since 1928 when we expepded just under $29,000.
At the time the war ended, the Town of Barnstable
had nearly a thousand men still in the service. Although
scarcely half of these have yet returned, jobs are already
becoming difficult to find; particularly for men without a
trade or special training. Furthermore, many Cape men
and women are returning home now that their work in the
war plants has terminated. Therefore, it is quite obvious
that the abnormally low relief load of the past few years
is not to remain thus for very long.
It is not to be expected that unemployment will cause
much increase in relief this winter as most of those out
of work will draw unemployment allowances. Also with
the coining of spring there is bound to be a great dal of
work started which has been long deferred because of the
war and also much in preparation for what is sure to be
one of the Cape's busiest and most prosperous summers.
The tremendous demand for homes may carry a great deal
of employment through the winter of 1946 and 1947 if the
cost of building materials and labor is reduced to some-
thing like pre-war prices. But if building costs remain as
excessive as at present, no one can afford to build unless
he has in cash a very,substantial part of the total cost of
(164)
his home. The sound value of any house constructed under
current conditions could scarcely be over 65% of its cost.
It therefore follows that any bank which loans over 50%
on a new home today is very evidently depending, upon
the ability and willingness of the individual to pay and
not on the sound value of the real estate.
It is obvious, therefore, that for any continuous em-
ployment in the building trades, either building costs must
come down or the banks must encourage individuals to
borrow over their heads. It would seem that in the long
run, this latter' course would be detrimental both to the
banks and borrowers.
If 'we were to classify the people receiving public wel-
fare as to the reasons for their being on relief they would
fall pretty much into five groups:
1. The old and infirm. Most of these, if they are citi-
zens, are taken care of under Old Age Assistance.
2. Those who are unable to work because of perma-
nent sickness or disability. These people form the
regular part of our public welfare load.
3. Those who are dependent because of the death of
the head of the family. Most of these receive Aid
to Dependent Children.
4. Those who, by-reason of temperament or laziness,
are not desirable employees.
5. Those who are• willing to work but are unable to
find employment.
It is obvious that any substantial increase in welfare
will have to come from the latter two groups. Some of
those in the fourth group are sure to be back with us as
soon as real competition for jobs begins; not many this
winter or spring perhaps, but possibly quite a few next
fall or winter. At that time, 'too, it is quite possible that
(165)
we will begin to get some of the fifth group; those who
are willim, to work but nevertheless are unemployed.
Taking everything into consideration, it does not ap-
pear likely that our public welfare, load will seriously in-
crease during 1946; but it is quite likely that it will be
back again on the upward trend by 15% or more.
Experience of the past has shown ,us that in times of
serious unemployment, about 357o of the relief granted
goes to families where the bread-winner is under 40 years
of age. Since the greater part of those in this age group
are'now veterans and therefore entitled to Soldiers' Relief
if they are in need, it follows that there will be a very
great increase in this form of relief when unemployment
comes. Instead of forming a relatively insignificant part of
the total relief budget, it seems quite possible that Soldiers'
Relief will amount to about half the cost of Public Wel-
fare.
OLD AGE ASSISTANCE
Old Age Assistance recipients in the Town of Barn-
stable received $119,200 during 1945; about $2,200 more
than in 1944, and four times as much as was spent for per-
sons of all ages on Public Welfare.
Last year the Legislature drastically modified the law
in respect to contributions required of children whose par-
ents are on Old Age Assistance. Children are no longer
required to contribute unless their income exceeds the
exempted amounts listed below:
Single child in same home as recipient—$1500
Single child outside the home—$1750
Married child outside the home (no dependents)--
$2750
(166)
Five hundred dollars exemption,is additionally allowed
for each dependent other than the spouse.
The above amounts of exemptions. are allowed .after
the State and Federal taxes have been deducted.
During 1946, therefore, we will have to spend additional
money for those recipients whose children will no longer
have to contribute or whose contribution will be greatly
reduced. This will probably add about $4,200 to the cost '
for the year in our town and will add at least $15,000,000
to the cost of Old.Age Assistance in Massachusetts. It may
run even higher than anticipated due to the impossibility
of figuring accurately how many have been kept entirely
off Old Age Assistance but who will now be eligible and
.will no doubt in most cases apply for and receive assist-
ance. It would be interesting to know just where the up-
ward trend in the cost of supporting those over 65 years
of age will end.

REPORT OF THE . TOWN COUNSEL
To the Board of Selectmen:
I submit herewith the fifteenth Annual Report of the
Town Counsel for the year ending December 31st, 1945.
(1) On January 1st, 1945 the Town was a party de-
fendant in seven land damage cases and three personal
injury cases as follows:
1. Clifford vs. Barnstable Land Damage
2. Hogsett vs. Barnstable Land Damage
3. Dever et al vs. Barnstable Land Damage
4. Parsons Tr. vs. Barnstable Land Damage
5. Godoy vs. Barnstable .
(3rd Extension of Airport) Land Damage
6. Kelley vs. Barnstable
(Road off Wianno Ave.,
Osterville) Land Damage
7. Sutherland vs. Barnstable
(Strawberry Hill Road) Land Damage
S. McCray vs. Barnstable Personal Injury
9. Fowler vs. Barnstable Personal Injury
10. Niskola vs. Barnstable Personal Injury
(2) During the year the Sutherland land damage
case, having remained inactive for a long time, was dis-
missed under the rules of court and the other land damage
cases have remained inactive and need give us but little
concern. The three personal injury cases are likewise in-
active and, in all probability, will give us no trouble, so
that so far as litigation in court is concerned, the town
finds itself in a very favorable position.
(3) After the hurricane and before the fallen trees
and stumps on the Main Street, Hyannis, had been re-
(169)
- 1
moved, one Balentine ran his car into a tree near the Hy-
annis Inn that was improperly lighted, as a result of which ,
it appeared to the Selectmen that he ought to be recom-
pensed for the damages to his car.,He brought a friendly
suit against the town and the case was settled by paying
for the actual damages to the automobile, totalling $220.00
and a proper entry was made in court disposing of the
case.
(4) During the year 1945 the Board of Public Wel-
fare made a criminal complaint in court against a son to
compel him to aid in the support of his father who was a
welfare recipient and this case required the services of
the town counsel in court where the case was finally ad-
justed to the satisfaction of the Board.
(5) In paragraph 14 of the Town Counsel's report
for 1943, attention was called to the increasing number of
cases in the Land Court where the town is a party respon-
dent, necessitating the services of the town engineer and
town counsel, particularly as to the location of town ways
and boundaries on town land. The so-called Dore and Cobb
Land Court cases for the registration of the, title to the
land near the Common Fields, Barnstable, came to the at-
tention of the town counsel and necessitated the taking of
steps to protect the town land and the town ways, all of
which was taken care of to the satisfaction of the town
counsel and town engineer.
(6) During the year the Selectmen have made sales
of numerous, parcels of tax title lands whereby the town
counsel was required to check the titles and write some
thirty deeds for such lands sold to bona fide purchasers,
which brings this property back into taxation.
(7) The various town officials of the town, particu-
larly. the Selectmen, the Surveyor of Highways, the Sewer
Commissioners, the Board of Public Welfare and the Board
(170)
of Health have frequently requested the services of the
town counsel in connection with some of their problems,
among others being two highway drainage easements at
Osterville and Hyannisport, rebuilding of the public wharf
on Pleasant Street, Hyannis, the civil service status of
the Inspector of Plumbing, the status .of the Grange Hall,
Hyannis, for tag purposes, the building and alteration of
Bridge Street at Grand Island, Osterville, the extension of
the sewer to Winter Street, bills before the Legislature
on hurricane damage and on liens for sewer rates, rules
and regulations for the Sewer Commissioners, and Board
of Health, the purchase of Dunbar's Point, Hyannis, the
alteration of the road to Hyannisport over Cofein's Creek,
the status of park land at Hyannisport, the civil service
status of the chief of police, cash bonus to the students
at the high school, damage to the fence at the Sewer Sta-
tion in an automobile accident where the town was finally
reimbursed for its repair; old age assistance mortgages
and the taking of the personal estate of a deceased recipient
of aid and relief.
(8) During the year 1945 the town counsel has ren-
dered many oral and written opinions to the town officials
—both elective and appointive—particularly the Selectmen,
the Board of Public Welfare, the Board of Health, the Sur-
veyor of Highways, the Sewer Commissioners, the In-
spector of Wires, the Inspector of Buildings, and the School
Board, all of whom have troublesome problems arising
from time to time in the performance of their duties and
particularly because of new laws being enacted by the
Legislature constantly and in considerable volume and
many troublesome problems in connection with the opera-
tion of the Hyannis Airport by the Federal Government
have arisen and more legal problems will arise from now
on as the Airport is turned back to the town. .
(9) The town counsel has no special recommendations
to make other than the need for the revision of some of
(171)
the very crudely drawn town by-laws, particularly- the
zoning law which is very effective but crudely drawn.
Respectfully submitted,
CHARLES C. PAINE,
Town Counsel.

BOARD OF HEALTH REPORT
The Board of Health has carried on its usual activities
in the past year. When one considers the fact that our
country town has been the suburb of a fairly large sized
city of soldiers at Camp Edwards, it has been happily free
from serious disease.
The Diphtheria Clinic and follow-up bore fruit through
the year as evidenced by only one case in early January.
Mr. Benjamin E. Blossom, who was appointed as Ani-
mal Inspector, was able to be with us but a short time,
but in that time, proved to be a valuable and helpful ad-
junct to our staff.
During the summer months, we endeavored to interest
the public in the immunization of dogs against rabies.
This is a worthwhile project and-we intend to continue it.
The hurricane aftermath presented an almost insoluble
problem at the dump. We were handicapped by lack of
equipment and manpower and had to keep the dump run-
ning so that trucks could be facilitated in their dumping..
As has been so many times suggested by this Depart-
ment, adequate fire fighting equipment, as well as adequate
water supply, is of paramount importance. We have had
many problems in which we have had the wholehearted
support of the Osterville-Centerville Fire District.
Our contagious disease has been at a minimum, our
rigid inspection of restaurants and eating establishments
has been continued and it is fair to say that there has been
a marked improvement in their sanitation.
The coming year will see the return to normal of com-
munity life and it is to be hoped that we will be as fortu-
nate in our incidence of disease as in the past.
(173)
With the housing shortage, it is' to be feared that
crowded housing may bring an increase in epidemic' con-
tagion.
We are greatly indebted to our clerk, Mrs. Anna Cas-
kin and Robert D. Chase, our agent,, for their conscien-
tious work and this has resulted in a smooth working organ-
ization with a minimum of effort on the part of the Board
members.
The usual Dental Clinics were held in the'schools of
each village in the Town of Barnstable with Dr. John A.
Burns, Dentist, assisted by Mrs. Cedric Sears as Dental
Nurse.
The following communicable diseases were reported to
the Board of Health:

REPORT OF PLUMBING AGENT'
There were twice as many plumbing permits issued
in 1945 as in the previous year.
Material is still hard to get. We hope material will
soon be available so that conditions may return to normal.

REPORT OF DISTRICT NURSING ASSOCIATION
To the Barnstable Board of Health:
The District Nursing Association has carried on its
work during 1945 along the same pattern as in previous
years. The demand for bedside nursing has continued to
occupy a large percentage of our time. The shortage of
civilian nurses has increased our case load because of the
(176)
r
curtailment of hospital facilities and the fact that nurses
were not available for duty in the home.
We have continued our monthly Well-Child confer-
ences and the annual Eye clinic for the school children.
The Chest clinic and the Crippled Children's clinic held
at the hospital once each month are both very helpful in
giving advice and treatment to all who need that type of
service.
We have enjoyed the contact with our fellow workers
in the field of health and look forward to better things
in the new year.
Respectfully submitted,
MARGARET J. COOPER, R. N.
Supervising Nurse
District Nursing Association.
The following licenses were issued in 1945:
Pasteurization 2
Slaughter 1
Bottling 1
Massage 2 u
Ice Cream 21

BARNSTABLE COUNTY' HEALTH
DEPARTMENT
The regular work of the Barnstable County Health
Department was carried on as usual for the year 1945.
The regular meetings of the Cape Cod Health Bureau
Association and the Cape Cod Health Council were held
twice during the year, in the spring and in the fall. The
fall meeting was held at the Cape Cod Inn, as the Hyannis
Inn was unable to do the work. The meetings were both
very well attended by the boards of health of the county
and others. At the meeting at the Cape Cod Inn, an unusual
number were present, as a good many attended from the
Southeastern District in general. The speakers at both
meetings were very interesting, and it is believed that the
_ meetings were enjoyed by all present. The next meeting
will be in May 1946.
All of the nurses on the Cape have been very active
during the year, and all.of the regular clinics have been
held, including cancer, eye, ear and throat, crippled chil-
dren, diphtheria, tuberculosis and well child conferences.
The regular meetings of the nurses have been held during
the year as always.
There has been a considerable amount of anterior polio-
myelitis (infantile paralysis) in the country during the
year, and there were some cases in Barnstable County, but
on the whole, we were fortunate in this matter. One case,
an adult, died on the way to the hospital. Otherwise, the
usual communicable .diseases, only, have been found in
the county.
The private water supplies appear to be in good condi-
tion at present, and no diseases resulted from the effects
of the hurricane of last year as before stated.
(178)
The regular work of the department has been carried
on. This includes, of course, the laboratory work, sanitary
inspections, all investigations regarding conditions reported
as insanitary, etc. The work has been assisted in every way
at all times by all State, County and Town officials, and
we extend our thanks to these officials for their constant
support and cooperation.
Respectfully,
A. P. (DOFF, M.D.
County Health Officer .

REPORT OF THE -PLANNING BOARD
To the Citizens of•Barnstable:
Your Planning Board submits herewith its report for
the year, 1945.
Foreword
From time to time questions have been asked about
the duties of the Planning Board and although this has
been explained in past reports, some doubt and misgiving
still prevails; therefore, we respectfully submit the follow-
ing, in the hope that a full comprehension of the status
of the Board may result.
1. The Board is an elective one, coming under the
provisions of the General Laws, Chapter 41, Sections 70,
71-72.
2. It has the same standing in Law as any other
elective board.
3. Its members receive no salary whatsoever.
4. The duties of the Board are set forth in General
Laws above quoted and further amplified' in Town By-
Laws.
5. Like any other Board, it is delegated with authority
to engage the services of necessary employees as prescribed '
in General Laws, Chapter 41, Section 108.
6. The supervision of plotting land in the Town was
delegated to the Board by vote of the citizens in March 1926.
7. A careful review of the Board's activity will demon-
strate that the public needs are constant reminders of the
duty the Board owes to the citizens of Barnstable.
Since war time restrictions have been lifted your
Planning Board has returned to its original activity with
well attended regular meetings once a month, and several
special meetings to further study certain proposed recom-
(180)
mendations and to hold joint conferences with your Select-
men and interested citizens.
Beaches
In the past this board has recommended many times
that the Town acquire more beach property for the use of
its citizens and the past year this board has spent many
hours studying available properties that might be acquired
without too heavy land damages. In making these studies
the board has held joint conferences with the ;Selectmen
and has held a hearing with interested citizens. The board
has also visited the various beach properties with' the
Selectmen and recommends the following:
That the town acquire the property in Hyannis known
as Dunbar's Point; also a parcel of land at the foot of
Sea Street, between Sea Street extension and the Town
landing now owned by the town; also a parcel of land in
Osterville known as Dowe's Point. These properties are
presented in an article of the Town Warrant.
Hearings
The.,past year the Selectmen have been requested to
change many pieces of property from residential to business
and in accordance with the law hearings have been held.
The board has attended a large majority of these hearings
and has made recommendations to the Selectmen.
Road Intersection
The board has recommended to the Selectmen that
action be taken to install some form of island at the inter-
section of Route 28 and Bearse's Way. Several accidents
have occurred at this intersection and the board believes
something should be done to slow down traffic at this
crossroad.
Center Street - Hyannis
After considerable study with the Selectmen, Town
Engineer and interested citizens the board recommends that
Center Street be widened to sixty feet as this part of the
town is fast growing as a business section.
Railroad Station
A joint meeting with the Selectmen, New Haven Rail-
road officials and interested citizens has been held relative
'to proposed relocation of the railroad station and freight
buildings. This proposal has been talked of and studied for
many years and without doubt would make a major im-
provement to the east end of Hyannis. The board plans
to continue active study and hopes that definite results
may be obtained in the near future.
High School Road
In the past the Planning Board has recommended that
High School road between Main and South Street be widen-
ed acquiring property to the east of the present road,
thereby leaving an island in the center with a row of maple
trees. This road is narrow and at times congested with both
automobiles and students. This should be a must for the
town to consider the coming year and the board plans to
have proper surveys made so that an article may be present••
ed to the citizens.
Building Lines
Again we wish to emphasize the importance of building
lines for all streets and particularly the main streets of
all villages.
Shade Trees
Due to the hurricane the town has lost many of its
best shade trees and we recommend trees be planted to
replace those lost.
Oyster Harbor Bridge
The board has'met several times with the Selectmen,
engineers and interested citizens for the purpose of study-
ing a proposed bridge to Oyster Harbors. This is .an im-
portant project as the new bridge when built will probably
(182)
outlive most of us today and both its location and structure
should be seriously considered in relation to its usefulness
for many years in the future rather than its needs of today
only. It is possible to install a subway thereby eliminating
the expense of a draw bridge and attendant.and also keep-
ing through traffic open at all times. Your board has not
had sufficient time to study all angles and therefore is not
ready at this time to make a recommendation.
Town Forest
The very considerable areas in the Town of Barnstable
which have small value and which are covered with scrub .
growth continue to be a great forest fire menace. It should
be pointed'out that in prevention of forest fires, one of our
essential services may to a considerable degree be realized
by development of town forests.
The forest fire warden finds it difficult to maintain
an adequate organization for that period of the year when
forest fires are prevalent because he has little for his men
to do for the balance of the year and consequently cannot
maintain a year round crew. If the town were to set up a
"Town Domain" for forestry purposes which would include .
parcels of wood land now owned by the town and which
would make possible the acquisition of parcel or parcels
of low valued wood land large enough to accomplish some
real results, the return to the town for the cost of fire
protection would be greatly increased. Such an arrange-
ment would allow the forest fire warden to employ his men
year round directly in forest fire season in which forest
fires are prevalent and during the rest of the year in
developing a town forest in which the scrub growth so
conducive to fires would be eliminated and trees planted
which in due time would have commercial value.
The Planning Board recommends that a committee of
interested citizens be appointed as a town forestry com-
mittee, that this committee include as members the town
forest fire warden and possibly the deputy state forest
warden who is a citizen of the Town of Barnstable; that the
Town Counsel prepare for the next town meeting articles
by which the town ,may.create a "Town Domain" which
will include the various parcels of wood land now owned
by the town and which will enable the forestry committee
to acquire for the town a large tract of low value wood
land. The forest fire problem will not be solved by preven-
tive measures. Active aggressive reforestation in the long
run will prove a wise procedure. _
Small Parks
It is certainly accepted that one of the most important
considerations of the citizens of the Town of Barnstable
is to preserve the charm and-attractiveness of our town.
To a considerable extent our more important vacation in-
dustry is best fostered by keeping our town attractive to
summer visitors.
Most individuals keep their properties attractive; al-
most everyone at small expense can make further improve-
ments. There are small places, however, where only definite
action by the town can acquire the desired results. Such
has been done by roadside beautification. Certainly our
Park and Highway departments are to be congratulated
on the excellent manner in which our roadsides ate-kept.
There remain, however, many eye sores throughout the
town which may be changed to places of attractive appear-
ance at small public expense. The creation of additional
small parks is a means, and the elimination of areas that
are no credit to us is to be recommended.

REPORT OF PARK COMMISSION
To the Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable
Gentlemen:
During the past year the care and upkeep of the Parks
has been carried on as thoroughly as possible under the
still prevailing conditions.
There was much clean-up work to be done and fallen
trees, blighted shrubbery, etc., to be removed.
It has been impossible to obtain certain tools• and
supplies.
In several of the Parks, trees and shrubbery should be
planted and there is much work to be done.This year, extra help will be needed to finish the work
that could not be done in the past few years.
The Cap-log at the Bulkhead has been repaired after
a long delay. We were unable to purchase the timbers
for this purpose.
The raft is also being repaired.
We hope that this year it will be possible to have a
Life-guard at the Bulkhead.
There is an article in the Town Warrant relative to the
laying out of a Park in Cotuit. Your Commissioners rec-
ommend that these plans be adopted.
We repeat our statement of last year, that every effort
will be made to relandscape and improve as rapidly as
possible all of our Parks.

Report of
SEWER COMMISSIONERS
To the Citizens of the Town of Barnstable:
We respectfully submit the following report pertaining
to the Sewer Department.
In 1945, the Sewer Department had its busiest year,
compiling a total of 76,544,000 gallons of sewage pumped,
as compared with a total of 59,681,000 gallons of the previ-
ous'year, an increase of 16,863,000 gallons. This large
increase was due to the sewer installation at the Hyannis
Airport, which was occupied by the U. S. Navy.
The maximum flow of sewage for one week was 1,938,000
gallons and the minimum flow was 1,100,000 gallons.
Both in 1944 and 1945, plans were made to flush and
clean the sewer mains, but due to the hurricane in 1944
and the shortage of help in 1945, this work was,not possible.
This will be done in the Spring of 1946.
A break in the force main at the filter beds near the
Imhoff tank, was quickly repaired.
Steps have been taken to remedy the overflow of efflu-
ent in the Imhoff tank at the filter beds.
The filter beds are still doing a great job although
they have been heavily taxed by the great increase in
sewage.
Two new sludge beds are needed as soon as possible
to take care of the large increase.
Six new particular sewer connections were installed
during 1945.
Extension of the sewer system up to and including
Louis Street should be done as soon as possible, to alleviate
the bad sewage condition in this area.
Respectfully sumbitted,
ROBERT L. JONES, Chairman
WINTHROP D. BASSETT
RUEBEN E. ANDERSON
(186)
Report of
TOWN ENGINEERS
To the Board of Selectmen:
I submit herewith the fourth annual report of the Town
a
Engineer.
The primary effort of this department has been the
procurement .of data to further the completion of our
Assessors' Books.
Additional sheets have been made for the Precinct
No. 4 Book, and are now in the process of being printed.
A large number of sheets showing properties in the Precinct
No. 1 area are also being printed. The available data for
the area comprising Princinct No: 3, which starts just east
of Craigville Beach, and includes everything east to the
Yarmouth Line, is well assembled so that the sheets may
be printed in a few months.
One of our most serious problems, however, in our
field operations, is the displacement, destruction or complete
removal of highway boundary markers. The hurricanes
have done a lot of damage in that respect but the greater
damage is done by workmen and others clearing brush and
grading along the sidelines of the highways.
The Town being duty-bound to define the streetlines,
we have spent a very great. deal of time, during the past
year, providing information, both in the office and field, for
surveyors making property surveys.
Some of our streets will require complete resurveys
to replace the bounds in their proper positions. ' In some
instances, the bounds can never be replaced in their original
locations.
(187)
These cement bounds or stones must be correctly placed
to the smallest fraction on an inch to properly mark the
highway lines.
This office will be glad to tie in and place guard stakes
at highway bounds in localities where work is proposed
to be done, if notified previous to the beginning of opera-
tions. The bounds, if moved, may then be replaced in their
correct positions.
. We are very thankful for the many contributions of
information, often times available at no other source, which
have been furnished this office.
It surely is worth repeating, that the fine co-operation
given this department is a real encouragement to give our
best.
Respectfully submitted,
LESLIE F. ROGERS,
Town Engineer.

Annual Report of the
PLAYGROUND AND RECREATION
COMMISSION
At the Annual Town Meeting, the sum of $12,360.00
was, appropriated for recreational purposes in the Torn
of Barnstable.
Programs have been conducted in the villages of Cen-
terville, Cotuit, Barnstable, West Barnstable, Hyannis and
Osterville under the direction of the Playground and Recre-
ation Commission. Gymnasium activities, arts and crafts,
dancing, boxing, wrestling, ping-pong, variety shows, base-
ball and basketball were conducted for the young and adult
people of the town.
The program in Centerville functioned in the Village
School every Wednesday afternoon and on Wednesday and
Friday evenings. A schedule of events suited to the build-
ing was arranged to include games, craftwork and dances.
This program was for forty (40) weeks.
Cotuit utilized Freedom Hall as a Recreational Center,
where every type of activity except Basketball was enjoyed
by those attending. A limited gymnasium program was
conducted due to the construction of the hall. However,
here the problem of Basketball was solved by allowing
Cotuit residents the use of the Osterville Center Gym exclu-
sively one night a week.
The program in Cotuit operated every Wednesday and
Friday afternoons for those under 12 years of age and in _
the evenings for all over 12 years of age.
Barnstable Village was given the Village Hall by the
Barnstable Woman's Club and dancing and games were
conducted for the residents of this community. A Commit-
(189) r
tee has been organized to survey conditions with the object
of expanding the program.
Recreation activities were conducted for a time in the
old Selectmen's Office in West Barnstable and later trans-
ferred to the Village School. Weenie Roasts, games, danc-
ing, ping-pong, etc., were conducted here. A gymnasium
program was out of the question due to the lack of adequate
space. Here again, the difficulty was overcome by utilizing
the center at Osterville periodically.
The Osterville Community Center is an excellent build-
ing, well-suited for a rounded recreation program. The
basement walls were painted by the boys, under the direc-
tion of the recreation staff, with murals of familiar New
England scenes. An Arts and Crafts shoprwas constructed
and instruction was made available weekly in oil painting,
metal work and leather work. The regular activities of
this center included basketball, volleyball, games, movies,
dancing, craftwork, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, State Guard,
boxing, wrestling and game tournaments. A local commit-
tee known as the Osterville 'Movie Committee conducted a
movie and dance every Friday night.
The Hyannis Community Center is located at the corner
of Main and Pleasant Streets, and was well attended by
both young and adult. While this center does not lend
itself to gymnasium activities or dancing, basketball and
other games were conducted at the High School, while
dances were held at the Hyannis Woman's Club. The Craft
Shop in this center is well attended especially by adults
from all villages of the town. Recently, furniture was
purchased from the U.S.O. which made it possible to equip
the rooms attractively.
A summer program of swimming and baseball was
conducted by the recreation staff.
Two lifeguards were employed to instruct and super-
vise bathers at Joshua and Hathaway ponds. This season
(190)
opened June 25, and,terminated on Labor Day. Swimming
instruction was carried on in Cotuit every Friday and
Saturday mornings.
The baseball league was comprised of teams represent-
ing Centerville, Cotuit, Hyannis, Osterville, West Hyannis,
Barnstable and West Barnstable. The villages of Barn-
stable and West Barnstable were combined into one team
which won the pennant.
The Commission regrets that the resignation of one of
its members was tendered, due to ill health, and the follow-
ing Resolution was adopted in testimonial of their respect
and admiration:
BE IT RESOLVED by the members of the Playground
and Recreation Commission of the Town of Barnstable,
Massachusetts, in meeting assembled, that the thanks and
appreciation of the members of the Commission be extended
to our retiring member, Mrs. Gladys B. Besse for her zeal
and labors on behalf of the Commission and its program
during her long term of office, and especially for her com-
petent leadership in helping to establish this Commission
from its infancy.
• The Recreation Commission extends its sincere appre-
ciation to all Civic and Fraternal organizations as well as
Town Departments who co-operated magnificently with the
board.

Report of
INSPECTOR OF ANIMALS
To the Selectmen of Barnstable:
Gentlemen:
The following is a report of all incidents -since my
appointment on May 10, 1945.
I have investigated 24 dog bite cases, and placed under
restraint 24 dogs. These were reported to the State Depart-
ment of Animal Disease Control and released without com-
plications at the end of the required quarantine period.
All were closely watched for symptoms of rabies.
I have, by order of the State Department, checked
and inspected all cattle transported into the Town of Barn-
stable from out of the State.
The installation of a new pasteurization plant in Hyan-
nis has brought the per centage of pasteurized milk to the
vicinity of 95%.
From July 16 to July 26, 1945, arranged appointments
and accompanied Dr. H. K. Copithorn, a Federal Veterin-
arian, on original injections and final readings of the annual
T.B. tests. No reactors were found.
From December 15, 1945 to January 15, 1946, I have
visited or been in contact with the owners or caretakers
of 59 stables, there were 396 neat cattle, this is a decrease
from recent years, chiefly due to the fact that three of the
larger stables have sold out all of their stock.
It is to be desired that in the near future, all cattle will
be-blood tested regularly in order to detect and stamp out
Contagious Abortion, the disease most dreaded by cattle-
men.
Respectfully submitted,
ROBERT D. CHASE,
Animal Inspector.

Report of
COMMITTEE ON ARTICLE 35
Report of the Committee appointed by the Moderator of
the Annual Town Meeting, March 6, 1945, in accord-
ance with the vote on Article 35, in the Warrant:
The Article asked for the appropriation of money to
restore, repair, and improve the old graveyard in West
Barnstable. The action on the Article was as follows:
"Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted that
the subject matter of this article be referred to a committee
of seven, to be appointed by the Moderator, to consider
the same and report with recommendations."
It was not the first time that the old graveyard had
come to the attention of the voters assembled in Town Meet-
ing. Two hundred and sixteen years ago, on March 6, 1730,
Captain Lothrop, Major Thacher and Deacon Baker were
appointed a Committee "to purchase a spot of Land for
a Buryingplace at ye West End of the Town."
September 22, 1731, voted "to raise 20 pounds to buy a
Buryingplace at ye West End of the Town."
May 17, 1745, voted that "James Otis, Esq. be appointed
and desired to keep ye West burying-ground fenced and
not fed."
In 1802, Ebenezer Bacon reported to the Town that he had
"inquired of a lawyer, who said the burying-ground near
Jabez Howland's could legally be enlarged."
May 12, 1806, voted "to choose a Committee to Inquire
into the Legality of taking a part of Parker Lumbert's Land
so-called, to Enlarge the burying-ground near Jabez How-
land's if the same can be done Legally, if not, the Commit-
tee to petition the General Court to Inlarge the same and
if Granted same, Committee.are to Inlarge the same. The
following Persons were Chosen,,viz: Doctor Jonas Whitman,

Hon. John Davis, Ebenezer Bacon, Esq." As is the case
more often than not in the old records, we read of Commit-
tees who undoubtedly, did the work laid out for them, but
no report is entered.
Burials had already been made in the plot of land the
Committee decided upon in 1731. The oldest inscription
still readable, is:
"Here lies buried ye body of Capt. Thomas
Fuller who dyed Nov'br ye 2 1719 in ye 58
year of his age."
This military rank must have been gained in King Will-
iam's or Queen Anne's War, perhaps in both, for he was
of a fighting family. His father, Lieut. Samuel Fuller was
killed at Rehoboth in King Philip's war, and his grand-
father, Matthew Fuller, was Captain in that war and had
served earlier first as Sergeant and then as Lieutenant under
Miles Standish. Whether Matthew Fuller was buried here
under a stone that has disintegrated, we probably shall
never know, but the 1719 stone of, Capt. Thomas Fuller
needs caring for. In 1727, came the deaths and burials here
of Samuel Hinckley, brother of Gov. Hinckley, who had
inherited his father's farm on Hinckley Lane; and of John
Otis grandfather of "the Patriot." Besides being Com-
mander of the militia of the County, Col. John Otis was
the first judge of the Probate Court serving for 13 years,
and for 21 years was a member of his Majesty's Council.
Neither in the Town Records nor in the Registry of
+ Deeds, can we find to whom was paid the 20 pounds, voted
in 1731 for the burying-ground. Perhaps it was not paid.
It would be pleasant.to think that Deacon William's grand-
sons willingly shared with the village the spot chosen for
their family burial place, as they seem to have shared it
with Capt. Fuller, Mr. Hinckley and Col. Otis. They may
have felt the sharing appropriate; that just as the deacons
stood ready to protect their neighbors in life in their fortifi-
cation houses, so they cared for them in death in their burial
(194)
place. The early generations of Crockers never lacked
a deacon.
For this land was part of the original grant made to
Deacon William Crocker which, according to Amos Otis,
was "two miles in length extending from the Salt Meadows
on the waters of Barnstable Harbor to the neighborhood
of the West tarnstable Meetinghouse." His will, written
in 1692, confirms to his son John, the parcels of land that
I have heretofore given him." That the land was John
Crocker's in 1686, seems clear from the survey made that
year for the County Road which ,in this vicinity passes
through "The land of Samuel Parker and John Crocker
before going by the house of Lieut. John Howland on the
north side, and the barn of Sd Howland on the south, his
sheepyard in the highway." Samuel Parker, grandfather
of Parker Lombard, or his son James, from whom Parker
directly inherited, must have bought John Crocker's land
as far as "the river" at the foot of schoolhouse hill, but the
little piece of land in which the earliest burials were made,,
would seem to have passed directly from the Crocker family
to the Town. Though facing the County Road, it was a
peaceful spot, shaded by native pines and, cedars, next to
Lieut. Howland's sheepyard and bordered after 1692 by a
road "from and through John Howland's land into the
woods." The road after 1717 is called Meetinghouse Lane
on the old deeds, but until 1800, the only house built on
it was the Almshouse, except near the Meetinghouse where
there were several Crocker houses, one bought about 1720,
by Rev. Jonathan Russell for his parsonage. The coming
of the railroad and the leasing of the Lombard land for
business, left the burying-ground pitifully exposed with
unsightly surroundings. But when Parker Lombard was
buried here in 1754, he lay just at the edge of the fields
and pastures he left to the Town for the use and benefit
of the poor.
We can be certain that Col. James Otis in 1747, obeyed
the Town's order to keep the burying-ground fenced and
(195)
' r
F
not fed. As Selectman, Surveyor of Highways, Colonel of
the militia, Judge of Probate and Chief Justice of the Court
of Common Pleas, member of the Legislature and for two
years Speaker of the House, he performed every duty with
utmost conscience. For nearly 50 years, he was Moderator
of the Town, Meetings more often than any other man. It
is good to find in the record of the March Meeting of 1772
that it was voted "to give the Honorable James Otis Thanks
for his good services he has done this town for 45 years."
He died in the darkest days of the Revolution with the trag-
edy of his brilliant son always heavy upon him. That he was
heartsick at the end, is shown by these words in his will:
"I give my body to the Earth to be buried in a decent
Christian manner, but without Funeral Pomp of Arms,"
and by the sadness of the Latin inscription on his slate
gravestone still in excellent condition, in contrast to other
slate stones of the 1700's. Mr. Thornton Jenkins has trans-
lated this inscription:
"-The pageant of life passes on and on
But I have found me a haven.
Goodbye, Hope, and Goodbye, Fortune,
Long enough have you made sport of me
Now have your sport with other men."
Close by is the grave and table stone of his son, Briga-
dier Joseph Otis, of whom Gustavus Hinckley wrote, "When
fast riding couriers by relays of fresh mounts brought the
alarm from Lexington, Col. Joseph Otis, younger brother
of the patriot, brought together 65 men from all parts of
the town, the Otis mansion at West Barnstable their prin-
cipal rendezvous beneath the grand old sycamores in front,
cut down about 80 years ago," Mr. Hinckley wrote in 1902,
which puts the cutting of the trees about 1820.
Major Andrew Garrett, Barnstable's Enoch Arden, is
buried here. Taken prisoner by the Indians in the Revo-
lution, nothing was heard from him for four years, and on
his return,he found his wife had married again and had one
child. He was a Yankee Enoch and sought her out. They
(196)
f
agreed to part, and he later married one of the Blish daugh-
ters. He lived out a long life at Annable's Pond which
has ever since been called Garrett's Pond.
Of Major Micah Hamlin who is buried here, Mr. Tray-.
ser writes: "Gen. Otis was Barnstable's foremost military
man, but Capt. Hamlin was most active in all recruiting."
Mr. Trayser'reminds us that these ranks of Colonels, Majors
and Captains were of the militia and not of the line.
Leaving the Army for the Navy, the Revolution for
the War of 1812, we find here the grave of Commodore
John Percival who "achieved the highest rank in the Navy
of any Barnstable man." Commissioned Lieutenant by
President Madison in 1814, he was made Commander .in
1832 and full Captain in 1841, taking the."Constitution" on
her famous trip around the ,world in the years 1844-46. In
May, 1859 he wrote to Charles Bursley, grandfather of the
late John Bursley, "I inclose you a check'to your order
for one hundred dollars to build the wall on the side of
the graveyard commencing at Heman Bursley's tomb and
proceeding as far as the amount will pay. I should feel,
friend Charles, gratified if this can be put in hand at once,
and much greater satisfaction to see it done before I die.,
Goodwill to. all from Percival."
Among the men of peace who lie here are the first three
ministers to preach in the old Meetinghouse, whose pastor-
ates cover 123 years, 1712-1835. Rev. Jonathan Russell,
who chose the West Parish when the first Settlement was
divided into two parishes: he preached the first sermon
in the Meeting house on Thanksgiving Day, 1719-13 years
before George Washington was born; Rev. Oakes Shaw,
father of Chief Justice Shaw who came here on his gradu-
ation from Harvard and preached until his death in 1807;
Rev. Enoch Pratt who succeeded Parson Shaw and preach-
ed until 1835. Apart from their importance in the religious
life of the town for more than a century, the stones over
their graves have historical interest in what might be
called the fashion in gravestones at intervals of 50 years.
A flat slate tablet.covers the grave of Mr. Russell-1760:
R (197)
a table stone the grave of Mr. Shaw-1807: and an erect
white marble monument the grave of Mr. Pratt-1860. These
always interest strangers who like to wander in old grave-
yards. Inscriptions on the stones of Mr. Russell and Mr.
Shaw remind-us of a fine old custom, "The expense of the
funeral and of this monument is borne by a bereaved and
affectionate people."
Other men lie here who served their town well and are
beloved. But they are of more recent years, and have sons
and daughters, grandsons and grand daughters to tend
their graves. Only the Town is son and daughter to Capt.
Fuller, Col. Otis, Commodore Percival and the others who
so devotedly served Barnstable in the earlier. years.
Your Committee believes that the oldest stones in the
graveyard should have expert attention: that trees should
be planted and so cared for that as the years pass, they
will restore something of the seclusion and shelter given
these graves in the early days. We are glad to report that
a Village Association has been formed with the following
Board of Directors: Chairman, Fred Conant; Secretary,
Mrs. Benjamin Blossom; Treasurer, Frank M:akie; Victor
Leeman, Andrew Carlson; with Tracey Parker as Auditor..
This association is collecting money, but in justice to the
givers, must expend it in the newer part of the graveyard.
The Committee,therefore recommends that the Town
appropriate $1,500 for the care of the graves of the men
and women who lived and died in the dangerous years when
wars were within the borders of our own country. We do
not forget their courage and sacrifice. We honor their
memory.

Report of
HISTORICAL COMMITTEE
Hyannis, Massachusetts
February 9, 1946
Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable
Town Building
Hyannis
Gentlemen:
At the 1945 annual town meeting, a resolution was
passed which called for the forming of an unpaid historical
committee, to begin assembling data relative to the partici-
pation of this town's citizens in World War II. The reso-
lution appears in full, I presume, in the town report of the
meeting.
On: request of Chairman Crocker, I called a meeting
of interested citizens last summer, to begin organizing a
committee to commence this work. The list of members
is not given here simply because the committee is not com-
plete, and must be enlarged. The work has begun, but
has proceeded slowly for two reasons:
(1) It is difficult and not advisable to set down history
in the making; and (2) only a little more than half of the
Barnstable men and women in the armed forces have return-
ed to civilian life.
It is my suggestion that to make it possible for this
committee to pay costs of postage, envelopes, printing, etc.,
a small appropriation, perhaps $200, be submitted in an
article in the warrant for the 1946 meeting, so that the
war record of each returning veteran be requested in a
form sent to each one. The committee would continue,
of course, as an unpaid one. ,
(199) .
While it is too early to foresee .when a war record for
the Town of Barnstable could be completed; it probably
will be several more years. When finished, it should be
deposited in the office of the Town Clerk, as was the Civil
War record, for incorporation in the town records, and
possibly prepared for publication, if the town so wishes.
Yours very truly,
DONALD G. TRAYSER

VETERAN'S ADVISORY COMMITTEE
Hyannis, Massachusetts
February 4, 1946
The Board of Selectmen,
Town of Barnstable, ,
Hyannis, Mass.
Gentlemen:
I am pleased to submit the following report of the activ-
ities of this committee for the calendar year, 1945.
Meetings were held monthly during the year, except
that no meeting was held in July. The average attendance
at meetings was 11. There are now 23 members on the
committee. During the year there were two resignations,
those being Dr. Charles E. Harris and F. Howard Hinck-
ley. Three new members were elected: Bruce K. Jerauld,
Dr,. Paul P. Henson and George H. Mellen, Jr.
The Committee as now constituted consists of the
following:
Melvin C. Knight, Chairman
Rev. Carl F. Schultz, Vice-chairman
Col. Charles C. Rossire, Jr., Exec. Sec'y
Victor F. Adams Halford R. Houser
Martin Brown Bruce K. Jerauld
Judge Collen C. Campbell James F. Kenney
Calvin D. Crawford Harry W. Lawes, Jr.
Chester A. Crocker Rev. Thomas J. McLean
Lauchlin M. Crocker Charles W. Megathlin
Harvey Field Capt. George H. Mellen, Jr.
Raymond D. Holloway Thomas Otis
Dr: Paul P. Henson Mrs. William Rutledge
R. Ralph Horne Costas Sethares '
(201)
As far as can be ascertained, there.were 479 discharges
of Town of Barnstable veterans during the year. During
1945, there were 430 calls at the office. Of these calls, 122
were from other towns. A breakdown of the calls show the
following:
236 called regarding employment (67 from other
towns)
27 wanted information regarding insurance con-
version.
15 inquired regarding education.
16 wanted information regarding government
guaranteed loans.
6 inquired regarding vocational rehabilitation.
9 wanted information regarding the job training
r
program.
10 required hospitalization.
11 requested a case review.
71 wanted information regarding the state bonus.
28 wanted uneinployineut pay.
While it is impossible to say positively how many vet-
erans were placed in jobs, it is known that at least 90 were
satisfactorily placed. I believe that possibly 50 more were
placed. Unfortunately, a large percentage .of the veterans
have not notified the office as to whether or not they were
accepted for the jobs to which sent, nor have the employers
always notified the .committee when jobs were filled.
The secretary attended meetings of the Training Insti-
tute conducted for two days a week for five weeks, during
March and April, in Boston at Northeastern University by
the State Department of Veterans' Services.
The secretary has kept the press and radio posted on
the activities of the committee, and has talked to several
organizations, and on the air as well. Letters have been
sent to all veterans as soon as notification of their discharge
was received from the Selective Board. Window display
cards advising as to the committee activities have been
(202)
printed and are now being distributed. Cards with infor-
mation regarding the services rendered by the committee
were printed and are being distributed by the.various veter-
ans' organizations, U. S. Veterans Administration and the
Selective Service Board.
Contact is maintained with the various Government
and State departments who have to do with veteran's affairs,
so that the committee is kept up to date on current and
pending legislation. The training-on-the-job program under
the G.I. Bill provisions is being particularly stressed as that
program will help place veterans, and enable them to earn
a good living while learning a trade or profession.
At the various monthly meetings, we have usually had
speakers representing various veterans agencies, so that
all members of the committee would thoroughly understand
all phases of the work of all agencies and so be able them-
selves to be of assistance when needed.
A statement of expenses for 1945 and estimated expen-
ditures,for 1946, have already been submitted to your Board.
Respectfully submitted,
CHARLES C. ROSSIRE, JR.

BARNSTABLE COMMITTEE ON
PUBLIC SAFETY
Hyannis, Massachusetts
January 26, 1946
Board of Selectmen,
Town of Barnstable,
Hyannis, Mass.
Gentlemen:
Herewith is submitted report of this committee for 1945.
By January 1, it was quite obvious that very shortly,
there would be no further necessity for this committee. The
Report Center was accordingly closed, and arrangements
made with the Police Department to notify certain key
members of the committee, should any emergency arise.
No committee meetings were held in 1.945.
On May 8th, notice was received from the Massachu-
setts Committee On Public Safety, that effective 5 P. M.,
May 9, 1945, all activities of the State Organization would
cease, and that Regional Offices and Warning Centers would
be discontinued.. On May 9, the First Service Command
rescinded all air raid protection and dimout regulations.
Immediate arrangements were then made to have all
telephones discontinued'and removed, and to have all cur-
rent cut off from the, several warning sirens. Members of
the organization were notified either verbally, by telephone
or by letter in the press, that effective, May 16, this com-
mittee would cease to exist.
An inventory was made of material purchased (exclud-
ing expendable items) which it was considered.would have
a permanent value to the Town. Based on actual cost the
(204)
value of this material amounted to $13,842.53. Materials
consist largely of Medical Chests including surgical instru-
ments; Thomas splints, Basins and stands, Operating tables,
Warning Sirens, Fire Equipment, including hose; Machine
Guns and Shot Guns supplied to the Police Department,
Highway Department tools, etc.
Recommendations were made to the Board of Select-
men as to the disposition of this material.
Attached hereto, is a copy of letter, dated May 15, 1945,
which appeared in the press, expressing appreciation to all
members of the organization. It is felt that this might well
be made a part of the Town Records.
Respectfully submitted,
CHARLES C. ROSSIRE, JR.
Col. Inf. Res.
Chairman.
May, 15, 1945-
To All Members of the Barnstable
Committee On Public Safety:
After nearly four years of service, the Massachusetts
Committee On Public Safety has been disbanded as of 9:00
P. M., May 9th. Following the action by the State, the
Barnstable Committee On Public Safety is likewise being
discontinued as of this date.
Although never required to function for the purpose
for which originally organized, this committee has been a
real asset to the Town of Barnstable. It was able to be of
real help on several occasions, such as during the bad fire
on Main Street in December, 1943; the plane crash on Barn-
stable'Road and the hurricane of last September.
(205)
As Chairman of the Committee, appointed by the Board
of Selectmen, I wish to thank the many loyal men and
women whose help made possible a most efficient organiza-
tion. I am satisfied that our organization was second to
none. Particular credit is due to the two fine men who
preceeded me, Major Samuel T. Stewart, who organized the
-committee and Leslie Johnstone, who so ably carried on
until his resignation, due to illness.
I especially thank Alexander Pate, who as Chief Air
Raid Warden; and by his excellent selection of Village War-
dens, made for such a smooth running organization. With-
out the continued support of our Board of Selectmen and
the unselfish support of all members of the committee, it
would have been impossible to build up such an outstanding
civilian organization.
To all who helped, particularly those men, who by their
sacrifice of time, made it possible to keep the Report Center
open and operating 24 hours a day during the emergency,
I wish again to express my sincere thanks.
I hope that this committee may be retained. in some
permanent form, so as to be able to render assistance in
any emergency that may arise in the future.

HISTORY OF "U. S..S. BARNSTABLE"
The following "Short History of the U.S.S. Barnstable"
was loaned to the Selectmen by Mr. Donald Trayser, County
Clerk, and they felt that it would be of sufficient interest
to the citizens of the town to justify printing it in this book.

Dear Sir:
A brief history of the U.S.S. Barnstable (APA 93) is
enclosed.
As this vessel was named after Barnstable County,
Massachusetts, this history is furnished for publication in
your local newspaper, or .other promulgation, to those citi-
zens who may be interested. A photograph .of the ship ,will
be forwarded in the near future.
If practicable, the ship's company •would appreciate
having four photographs of a historical site, a public build-
ing, or other symbol of that county, to post about the ship.
We will bear the cost of the ,preparation and mailing of
such photographs.

The U.S.S. BARNSTABLE is an Attack Transport,
named for Barnstable County, Massachusetts. The name
can also be traced back to that of a seaside town in England
and undoubtedly carries much of a sea-faring tradition.
Admittedly, the name may have a rural twang, but not so
when properly pronounced. Originally built as a Maritime
Commission C-3 hull as the SS SEA SNAPPER, by the
Western Pipe and Steel Company of San Francisco in Octo-
ber 1943, she was converted by Commercial Iron Works,
Portland, Oregon and commissioned as an attack transport
on 22 May 1944. On 2 June 1944, at 1952, the BARNSTA-
BLE took departure from the Columbia River Lightship
for San Diego, California. This was the start of an Odyssey
that was to take her by a circuitous route to the very shores
of the Land of the Rising Sun, a high point in her career,
which came 15 months and 25 days later and involved
steaming 64,000 miles on her "Invasion-Spotted" route to
Nippon.
Upon arrival at San Diego Harbor on 5 June 1944 a
schedule of shake-down exercises was received from Com-
mander Training Command, U. S. Pacific Fleet, and con-
tinued until 13 June 1944. These included exercising at
emergency drills, passing mail at sea, anti-aircraft and
surface firing, full power run, smoke•prevention run, run-
ning the measured mile, visual signal drills and section and
division tactical drills.
Upon the completion of this schedule, orders were
received from the Commander Amphibious Training Com-
mand, U. S. Pacific Fleet to conduct amphibious training
exercises off Coronado Strand; California, 14-19 June 1944.
These exercises were conducted with no other ships in com-
pany, without troops and were for the benefit of the officers
and crew, few of whom had had any previous experience
aboard an Attack Transport. Upon the completion of these
exercises, which included night exercises, amphibious oper-
ations were conducted in the San Diego area from 20 June
until 30 June 1944, with troops and cargo embarked. The
(208) /
troops consisted of elements for. the 96th Division U. S.
Army. Loading exercises were conducted off Coronado .
Strand, Pyramid Cove of San Clemente Island and Aliso
Canyon, Oceanside, California. Further operations were
conducted commencing 5 July with the 2nd Battalion, 26th
Marine, 5th Marine Division. Pyramid Cove and Ocean-
side were again the scene of operations, and the same ships
participated. During one of these landing exercises a visual
dispatch was received aboard which informed us a most
distinguished visitor was present on the beach. The dis-
patch 'read, "The President of the United States is observ-
ing your operations." Commencing 16 July further opera-
tions were conducted with the 1st Battalion, 27th Regiment,
5th Marine Division at San Clemente and Oceanside with
the same ships participating.
Upon completion of these last exercises Marine troops
were embarked and on orders of the Commandant ELEV-
ENTH Naval District the BARNSTABLE, in company with '
the U.S.S. ARNEB, proceeded out of San Diego Harbor'
for Pearl Harbor. Enroute, tactical exercises, radar track-
ing exercises, anti-aircraft practice and surface target prac-
tice exercises were. held.
On 30 July 1944 the BARNSTABLE arrived at Pearl
Harbor, troops were debarked the same morning and unload-
ing commenced that evening. Upon arrival at Pearl Harbor
the BARNSTABLE became part of Transport Division
THIRTY-TWO of Task Group 32.2, of which the U.S.S.
HARRIS (APA2) was the Division flagship. The unit was
composed of the U.S.S. HARRIS (APA2), U.S.S. FRE-
MONT (APA44), U.S.S. 13ERALD OF THE MORNING
(AP173), U.S.S. BARNSTABLE (APA93) and the U.S.S.
ARNEB (AKA56). The designation of the next higher'
echelon and force was group one, Amphibious Force, Pacific
Fleet.
At 1430 on 1 August 1944, Commander Transport Divi-
sion THIRTY-TWO -shifted his, flag temporarily to the
(209)
BARNSTABLE. The same ,day at 1700, Captain H. T.
WALSH, U.S.N., assumed command of the BARNSTABLE
relieving Captain T. M. STOKES, U.S.N.
From 1 August to 4 August 1944, the ship was engaged
in general maintenance and upkeep. On 5 August 1944,
Commander Transport Division THIRTY-TWO shifted his
flag from the BARNSTABLE to the U.S.S. HARRIS (APA
2). Preparations for pending operations continued during
the period to 11 August 1944, including the embarkation
of troops and. cargo of the 2nd Battalion, 323rd Infantry,
81st Division, U. S. Army. On 12 August the BARNSTA-
BLE sailed from Pearl Harbor enroute to Guadalcanal with
Task Group 32.2. Practice firings, tactical drills and radar
tracking drills were held enroute.
On 22 August 1944, one month after leaving San Diego,
the BARNSTABLE crossed the equator. This was the first
of 18 crossings. At the time however, Shellbacks were
distinctly in the minority and probably absorbed more phy-
sical punishment than the 1800 Navy and Army Pollywogs.
On 24 August 1944 the BARNSTABLE anchored off
the Tenaru River, Guadalcanal. From that date until 8
September' 1944, when the group got underway for the
Palau Islands, general maintenance work was conducted,
a three-day rehearsal for the forthcoming assault on the
Palau Islands was field near Cape Esperance, Guadalcanal,
and fueling and provisioning were carried on in the Tulagi
area.
The BARNSTABLE from 14 September was a pant
of Task Group' 32.4, Amphibious Forces, Third Fleet, U. S.
Pacific Fleet, with troops embarked as a reserve corps for
the'assault on Peleliu and Anguar. (Rear Admiral W. H. P.
BLANDY,U.S.N., was in command in the U.S.S. FREMONT
(APA44).
At 06:50 on.the morning of 15 September 1944, Task
Group 32.4 arrived at the Palau Islands and lay-to during
(210)
the morning off Eil Malk Island, standing by to reinforce
_ the landings on Peleliu Island if necessary. In t'he after-
noon of the same day, the Task Group proceeded to the
operating area off Namei Bay, Bablethaup Island, and con-
ducted a diversionary demonstration without lowering
boats, with escorting destroyers shelling the beach off Mele-
keiok Point.
On the morning of 17 September 1944 a landing force
was landed on Anguar Island. In accordance with plans
the boats of ships of the Task Unit of which the BARNSTA-
BLE was a part, were lowered and formed into waves. They
then made a feint at the Northwest beach of Anguar in
order to divert Japanese defenses. Boat waves without
troops approached within 1,000 yards of the beach and then
turned off, returning to the parent ships.
On 19 September 1944 this ship debarked "C" Battery,
318th Field Artillery, U. S. Army and unloaded 152.75 tons
equipment of that unit on Anguar. No additional debark-
ation or unloading was conducted by this ship while in
the Palau area.
At 1000 on the morning of 21 September 1944, the
BARNSTABLE proceeded with other .ships .designated to
seize the Ulithi Islands. The designation was Task 'Group
33.19 under the command of Rear Admiral W. H. P. BLAN-
DY, embarked in the U.S.S. FREMONT. Landings from the
BARNSTABLE were made on Falalop Island by 2nd Rein-
forced Battalion, 323rd Infantry, 81st Division, U. S. Army.
The first wave hit the beach at 1016 on the morning of 23
'September 1944, without opposition. In fact, some of the
men from the ship had the unique experience of having a
recreation party on the beach on Dog plus one day. All
operations in the Ulithi' Islands were completed at 1200,
25 September 1,944.
'That evening, after fueling, the BARNSTABLE cleared
Magai Channel, and joined the formation as part of Task
Group 32.18 enroute to Hollandia, New Guinea. The visit
(211)
was a short one; and after hoisting aboard three army LC
At's and 15 LCVP's to replace boats transferred at Ulithi,
Task Unit 32.18.2 stood out of Humboldt Bay, New Guinea
and took departure for Manus, Admiralty Islands. . There,
orders were received dissolving the task organization and
directing Transport Division THIRTY-TWO, of which the
BARNSTABLE was a part, to report to the Commander
SEVENTH Fleet and the Commander SEVENTH Amphib-
ious Force for duty.
The period from 1 October until 12 October 1944, was
a logistics, loading and general maintenance period, and
preparations were made for the forthcoming assault on
Leyte Island, the first phase in the liberation of the Philip-
pines. The troops embarked were of the 5th Cavalry, U. S.
Army and a rehearsal landing operation was conducted
off Rambutyo Island on 9 October 1944.
The BARNSTABLE was again underway on 12 October
1944 with ships of Task Group 78.2 under the command of
Rear Admiral W. M. FECHTELER, U.S.N., Commander
Group EIGHT, SEVENTH Amphibious Force, U. S. Pacific
Fleet, steaming enroute Leyte Island, Philippines. On the
15th the group joined Task Group 78.1 with Commander
Task Force SEVENTY-EIGHT, (Rear Admiral D. E. BAR-
BEY, Conmmander SEVENTH Amphibiout Forces, as Offi-
cer in Tactical Command).
On the 842 watch on the night of 19 October 1944, one
of the escorting DD's reported a torpedo headed for us.
It passed through the first column. and crossed our bow,
going from port to starboard and continued on through
the convoy. None of the ships of the group were hit by
this torpedo.
The BARNSTABLE arrived at Leyte Gulf with Com-
mander Task Force SEVENTY-EIGHT on "A" Day, 20
October 1944 and anchored in San Pedro Bay where she
debarked troops for the assault waves and continued unload-
ing cargo throughout the day. This ship cleared Leyte
(212)
Gulf early the next morning and proceeded to Kossol Pass-
age, Palau Islands, arriving on the morning of 23 October
1944. Here within easy sight of the shores of Bablethaup,
where there were an estimated 40,000 Jap troops, the men
of the BARNSTABLE relaxed and tried to forget that they
had so recently been part of the bait which had drawn most
of the Jap Battle Fleet into Philippine waters.
While at Kossol Passage survivors from the U.S.S. ST.
LO (CVE63), lost in the Battle of Samar, were taken aboard
for transportation, general maintenance work was conduct-
ed and on 28 October the BARNSTABLE was underway
for Guam, with ships of Task Group 78.13. She arrived
at Guam and stood into Apra Harbor on 31 October 1944.
At Guam, prior to departure for Noumea, New Cale-
donia, cargo was loaded and troops embarked of the 3rd
Battalion, 307th Infantry Regiment, 77th Division, U. S:
Army. Departure was taken on 3 November 1944, with
ships of Task Group 78.,13. The purpose of the movement
of these troops was to provide them with a period for reha-
bilitation in New Caledonia. However, on 11 November, a -
Cincpac disptach changed the destination from Noumea
to Manus, Admiralty Islands. Arriving there on 15 Novem-
her, the period from that date until getting underway on
the 18th of that month for Leyte was spent in general prep-
arations for the forthcoming operation.
The Task Organization for the movement to Leyte
remained the same, and Thanksgiving day of 1944 found the
group unloading reinforcements for MacArthur in the Bat-
tle for Leyte. Numerous "Red Alerts" interrupted the
work and the O'HARA was hit by a suicide plane, 1000
yards off our starboard bow. The plane grazed the star-
board side of the O'HARA.near No. 3 hatch, and sank
almost immediately. No great damage was done 'to the
O'HARA. In all fairness to the Commissary department,
it should be recorded that several turkey dinners on a later
date made up for our Thanksgiving dinner of cold sand-
(213)
wiches .and coffee. After completion of the job at hand,
the same Task Group proceeded to Hollandia, New Guinea,
where the BARNSTABLE spent the period from 29 Novem-
ber 1944 until 12 December 1944.
During that time, the BARNSTABLE became the Flag-
ship for Captain J. L. ALLEN, U.S.N., (Commander Trans-
port Division THIRTY-TWO Temporary). General main-
tenance work and preparations for forthcoming operations
were carried on, until getting underway for Sansapor, New
Guinea, with ships of Task Unit 75.4.17 where we dropped
anchor, on 14 December 1944.
Here the 63rd Infantry, 6th Division, U. S. Army was
embarked with assault loaded cargo for the initial assault
at Lingayen; Luzon, P. I. As for previous operations, a
rehearsal landing was conducted, this time off Cape Opma-
rai, New Guinea, and the usual maintenance work continued
as well as the logistics preparations necessary prior to an
amphibious operations. The Japs carried out another of
their usual small scale air raids during our stay and during
one of the raids, a Jap plane was shot down. The plane
exploded while in mid-air and fell to the water in flames.
Christmas was somewhat cheered by the arrival of an LST
from Hollandia with approximately forty-two sacks of
Christmas packages and also by the Red Cross boxes which
were distributed to all hands. New Year's Eve and Day
held less cheer—we were again at sea, enroute to Lingayen
via Leyte with Task Group 78.5, SEVENTH Amphibious
Force. During the passage through Surigao Straits, Min-
danao Sea, Sulu Sea, Panay Gulf, Mindoro Strait and the
China Sea, the group was under a running attack from
small groups of enemy planes. Several ships of the group
suffered casualties. The BARNSTABLE remained in the
outer transport area at Lingayen during the first day, while
her boats assisted other ships in unloading. The morning
of the second day she moved into the inner transport area.
Troops were debarked and unloading of cargo was complet-
ed that day. In an attempt to get underway that evening,
(214)
greatly reduced visibility forced the ship to anchor for the
night. The BARNSTABLE did .get underway the next
evening and with Task Unit 78.14.4 stood out of Lingayen
Gulf and proceeded to Leyte Gulf, arriving prior to dark-'
ness on 14 January 1945.
Transport Division THIRTY-TWO was dissolved and
the BARNSTABLE reported to Commander Transport Divi-
sion FORTY-TWO and after fueling joined ask Group 78.5
and got underway for Manus, Admiralty Islands on 18 Jan-
uary 1945. The group arrived there the morning of 24
January and, after loading provisions and taking on fuel
and diesel oil, took departure for Maffin Bay, New Guinea,
later leaving formation and proceeding to Morotai Island
where the BARNSTABLE arrived 29 January 1945. Ele-
ments of the 33rd Division and cargo were embarked and
loaded. After several days of general maintenance the
BARNSTABLE got underway as Commander Task Unit
78.5.2 enroute for rendezvous with Task Group 78.5 and
a second run to Lingayen, where troops and cargo were
debarked on 10 February.
The BARNSTABLE then returned to Leyte Gulf with
ships of Task Unit 78.11.21, with army casualties aboard.
After arriving at Leyte Gulf on 15 February 1945 and
reporting to Commander Transport Division THIRTY-
EIGHT for duty the BARNSTABLE was designated Flag-
ship for that division, and has served in that capacity since
that time, with Captain P. P. WELCH, U.S.N., as Command-
er Transport Division THIRTY-EIGHT. At that time she
became part of Transport Squadron THIRTEEN, Amphib-
ious Group TWELVE, FIFTH Amphibious Force. The
period from 15 February 1945 until departure for Okinawa,
was devoted to logistics, preparation and rehearsal for the
forthcoming operation. Final preparations having been
made the BARNSTABLE got underway on 27 March 1945
as part of Task Group 51.13 and took departure for Okina-
(215)
wa Shima with the 1st Battalion, 17th Infantry and Regi-
mental Headquarters, 7th Division, U. S. Army embarked.
Assault troops were debarked at Okinawa on Easter
Sunday, 1 April 1945. However, the BARNSTABLE .
remained in the area unloading cargo until the morning of
the 5th when she got underway with ships of Transport
Divisions 37, 38 and 42, designated Task Unit 51.29.5. The
Task Unit stood out of the operating area and proceeded
to Port,Apra, Guam, arriving in the afternoon of 9 April
1945.
At 0820, 10 April 1945, Captain V. R. ROANE, U.S.N.,
having reported on 6 March 1945, assumed command of
the BARNSTABLE, relieving Captain H. T. WALSH, U.S.
N. The same day, the BARNSTABLE got underway enroute
for Pearl Harbor, arriving there on 22 April. After fuel-
ing, the ship was again underway, steaming independently
enroute to San Francisco, California. Nine months and
eight days after taking departure from San Diego, 22 July
1944, the BARNSTABLE returned to the West Coast of
the United States, having participated in four, major am-,
phibious operations and two reinforcement runs. Officers
and men who were aboard during that time, earned the
privilege of wearing the American Theatre Ribbon, the
Asiatic-Pacific Ribbon with four stars, and the Philippine
Liberation Ribbon with two stars. No casualties had been
suffered either by the ship or by its personnel .and her men
began thinking her as a lucky ship. Perhaps this was in
contrast to her sister ship which had suffered extensive
damage on two occasions.
The period from 30 April to 14 May, was spent at the
docks of General Engineering and Drydock Company, Ala-
meda, California, undergoing voyage repairs. A fifteen-day
availability period had been granted followed by a loading
-period alongside piers 19 and 12, San Francisco. Infantry
replacements were embarked and, after completion of load-
ing and upon the receipt of Commander Western Sea Fron-
tier's orders, the BARNSTABLE took departure from San
(216)
Francisco Bay on 24 May 1945, enroute to Eniwetok Atoll,
arriving there on 7 June. A small convoy was organized
there, composed of the SS. SEA CORPORAL, SS. PERIDA
and U.S.S. BARNSTABLE, of which, Commander Trans-
port Division THIRTY-EIGHT in the BARNSTABLE was
Convoy Commodore. We were underway the same day for
Ulithi Atoll where the BARNSTABLE had participated in
the assault landings and occupation during September of
the previous year. The BARNSTABLE anchored in Urushi
Anchorage on 11 June and took departure the next 'day
with Ulithi-Leyte convoy of which Commander Transport
Division THIRTY-EIGHT in the BARNSTABLE was the
Convoy Commodore. Life magazine of 16 May 1945 had
publicised Ulithi as a "Veritable Island Paradise." The
majority of the men of the BARNSTABLE were probably
less convinced after the second visit than after the first
visit, although on that first occasion one of the men did pick
that unusual spot to go over the hill on French leave. En-
route to Leyte a Commander Philippine Sea Frontier dis-
patch altered the destination from Tacloban, Leyte to
Manila, where the convoy arrived the evening of 16 June
1945. From that date until 25 June all hands were occu-
pied with the unloading of cargo, general maintenance and
upkeep plus a liberal amount of sight-seeing of what was
left of the first and only civilization the men of the BARN-
STABLE had seen west of Honolulu.
The BARNSTABLE had reported to the Commander
SEVENTH Amphibious Force on 22 June and while under
that command, participated in the roll-up of military instal-
lations in New Guinea. Two trips were made to that area
during the period from 25 June to 12 August 1945, the first
being to Hollandia with return to Manila and the second
being to Oro Bay, Lae, Finschhaven and Hollandia with
return to Manila via Subic Bay. One of the nuits moved
from the Guinea area to Manila was the Fourth General .
Hospital which included 38 nurses and technicians, the first
and only feminine passengers the BARNSTABLE 'has ever
(217)
had. Their presence did much to momentarily soften the
monotonous realities of life aboard a war-time transport.
However, the BARNSTABLE'S remaining war days were
very short indeed for the momentous days, which culminat-
ed in the Jap capitulation, had already arrived. The cessa-
tion of hostilities found the BARNSTABLE at anchor in
Manila Bay on four-hour sailing notice. Previous received ,
sailing orders for Guam were soon cancelled, and then began
a period of waiting, and finally of preparation for the move-
ment of occupation troops to Japan.
The final chapter in the World War II history of the
BARNSTABLE tells of her participation in the occupation
of Japan. Twenty-one of the 53 officers and 186 of the 470
men who were aboard at the time of commissioning were
still aboard for this final phase of the Pacific war. The
fighting had ceased, but there remained the vital job of
transporting men and guns to the homeland of the Jap
to insure that the surrender terms be carried out.
The BARNSTABLE made two runs to Japan from 20
September to 1 November 1945, as a unit of Transport
Squadron FOURTEEN under Commodore D. L. RYAN,
U.S.N., and as the,flagship for Captain Phillip P. WELCH,
U.S.N., Commander Transport Division THIRTY-EIGHT.
The first run was from Aringay, Lingayen Gulf, Luzon,
P. I. to Wakayama Honshu, Japan, with Regimental Head-
quarters and special units of the 136th Inf. and attached
units, 33rd Division embarked. The second run was from
Talomo, Mindanao to Hiro Wan in the Kure Area of Hon,
shu, Japan. Regimental Headquarters and the first Battal-
ion, 21st Infantry of the 24th Division were carried and
debarked at Hiro, approximately 20 miles from the scene
of the first Atomic bombing.
Upon the completion of the BARNSTABLE'S second
mission to Japan, she,proceeded to,the Philippines to begin
her magic carpet assignment. The BARNSTABLE is now
engaged in that assignment.

Report of the School Committee
To the Citizens of the Town of Barnstable:
The annual report of the School Committee of the
Town of Barnstable, which includes the report of the
Superintendent of Schools, is herewith submitted.
The committee welcomes back the members of the
teaching staff who have returned from military and naval
service. It is good to have them with us again, and to
them we say, ;`Well Done" and "Welcome Home." We
hope for the return of-those still in the service as early
as possible. I
The committee earnestly hopes that• all who are in-
terested in our schools will read our superintendent's re-
port. This report in•the form of questions and answers
gives very definite information regarding certain matters
that are often brought up by different persons in the course
of the year. These reports are .intended to be informative
and a study of these reports over the years should give a
clear view of the ideals towards which we are working,
the program planned, and the work accomplished.
Again the committee feels it necessary to recommend
certain salary increases which together with the increased
maintenance costs to keep our plant in good condition, and
increases in other items, accounts for an increase of
$10,673.00 in the 1946 budget over the 1945 budget.
The committee also feels it necessary to defer any re-
quest for construction of new buildings to another year.
(224)
No request for such 'construction is now contemplated for
1946. There is bound to be a large amount of public works
construction during the next few years and much of it
will have to be for schools.
Along this line, it is interesting to note that it is
claimed that for every soldier, sailor or marine killed in
World War II, six children have been born in that period.
It is expected that the increase in the birth rate will con-
tinue for several years. Nationally the effect will be felt
in the elementary schools in 1947 and later, in our high
schools beginning in 1953 and 1954. To what extent this
increase will be felt in our town is not certain, but nothing
in the past would tend to show that this area would vary
much from .the rest of the nation over a period of time.
We must plan to be ready for it.
The school plant has been maintained in a good state
of repair in spite of shortages. However, for 1946 we have
included in the budget a larger sum than was asked for
last year, to catch up and maintain our repair and mainte-
nance schedule.
The committee appreciates the fine cooperative spirit
and loyal efforts of the entire personnel of the school de-
partment. To all who have shown their interest in the
work of the schools through their cooperation and help we
again express our appreciation.
An itemized financial report is included at the end of
the superintendent's report. The appropriation for 1945
was $245,775.00. In addition to this amount the school com-
mittee received $3,244.66 from other sources making a total
of $249,019.66. The sum of $248,815.20 was expended. The
Town of Barnstable received as reimbursement from the
State and other sources the sum of $27,675.41, making the'
net cost for the year to the Town of $221,344.25.
(225)
The committee held ten regular meetings and four
special meetings during the year. In addition, inspections
of the various buildings and their equipment have been
made from time to time by the various members of the
committee.
Respectfully submitted,

Report of the Superintendent of Schools
To the School Committee of Barnstable, Massachusetts
Miss Hinkle and Gentlemen:
As Superintendent of the Barnstable Public Schools,
I herewith submit to you my annual"report, the fifty-sixth
in such a series.
Almost everyone is concerned in one way or another
about what the schools are doing. Consequently, the school
department wants the people to know about their schools.
In the school report a year ago, a general impression
of a few of the more significant school experiences was
included. Instruction has continued in this direction, the
effectiveness of this instruction depending upon how it
meets the needs of each individual child.
Since an annual report cannot reflect the complete
scope of educational planning or the entire program of
action for the year, the report for this year will be confined.
to the:
(1) Presentation of an abbreviated picture or over-
view of some of the educational procedures and practices.
(2) Consideration of certain questions with which
many townspeople have expressed interest during the year.

What Is the Entrance Age To the First Grade?
Those children who will be six years of age on or before
the January first following the opening of schools in Sep-,
tember, are admitted to the Barnstable first grades. This
means that the youngest child admitted to the first grade
will be at least five years, eight months at the beginning of
the school year.
This age entrance requirement eliminates many chil-
dren who would be too immature to profit by' first grade
instruction. It has been shown, both by experiment and
through practice, that a child cannot do the work of the
first grade with satisfaction and without emotional strain
until he has attained a mental age of six years and prefer-
ably six years and,one half. This means that most children
should be six or six and one half years of age chronologic-
ally. To be reasonably certain of attaining complete success
and happiness in school, they should not enter the ,first
grade until that age.
In the Barnstable Schools, children are admitted to
•the first grade if they are five years, eight months. Although
this entrance requirement is still not high enough to indi-
cate 100% success for every first grade child it is a step
forward. Since the adoption of the new entrance age for
beginners, the teachers unanimously agree that there has
been a marked improvement in the first grade work, less
failure, less emotional strain for the pupils and less difficulty
in social adjustment. Consequently, since 1940, as the chil-
dren move on from grade to grade, there has been an
improvement, too, in the general maturity level of children
in the elementary school grades beyond the first grade.
Fewer children taste defeat, and failure and experience a
triumphant sense of achievement, in their early contacts
with schools and teachers.
A survey of school readiness and school admission in
various parts of the United States was made by Lawrence
(229)
D. Averill, Ph. D., to determine desirable standard prac-
tices for Massachusetts. The conclusions and recommen-
dations set up in his report in January, 1945, for the Massa-
chusetts Department of Education were based upon ques-
tionnaire returns, and upon conferences with superintend-
ents and primary supervisors within the State and outside.
Dr. Averill concludes that five years, eight months be re-
garded as a desirable minimum age for entrance.
In the Boston School Survey, it was recommended that
the entrance age to the first grade be raised to five years, -
nine or ten months. They.report that the child of average
ability must be six years or over chronologically before he
is ready to learn to read.
Such statements as these along with the�concensus of
opinion among research workers in the field of early prim-
ary education in recent years seem to substantiate our judg-
ment concerning first grade entrance.
Is the Barnstable Child Guidance Clinic a part of the
school department?
The Barnstable Child Guidance Clinic is not connected
officially with the Barnstable School Department, but is
sponsored by the Division of Mental Hygiene, assisted by
Child Welfare Services.
However, the schools of Barnstable enjoy the assist-
ance of the Clinic which is set up for the purpose of diag-
nosing and treating personality behavior and scholastic .
difficulties of children.
The personnel of the Clinic consists of a psychiatrist,
psychologist, and phsychiatric social worker who give guid-
ance to parents whose children need help at home or in
school. Of the 77 children served by the Clinic through-
out the past year, 17 reside in the Town of Barnstable.
(230)
What is the new penmanship course that was adopted
in September in the elementary schools?
In September, Mr. W. L. Rinehart and his assistants
introduced the Functional Handwriting System to the teach-
ers and children of our schools, grades I through VI. They
were equipped with monthly teacher outlines, pupil outline
folders, motivation graphs, and certificates, monthly diag-
nostic charts, etc. Each month, the handwriting for each
pupil in every classroom is graded and diagnosed so that
r
teachers and children may understand where to place
emphasis and how to administer remedial help.
Our records*show gradual improvement• in the quality
of handwriting done by the pupils in the elementary schools.
We are pleased with the splendid co-operation indicated
by the teachers, with the interest the children have dis-
played in the plan, and with the results that are being
achieved from this co-operation and interest. At the close
of the year, pupils will take home samples of their hand-,
writing for the beginning and the end of the school year,
so that parents may compare them and determine the prog-
ress made.
Of what significance is the six point health star that
children take home in the spring?
The Barnstable Health Star is an annual award in the
elementary schools in the Town of Barnstable. The six
points in this star are: Posture, Vision, Weight, Hearing,
Teeth and Throat, and Immunization.
At the beginning of each school year, every pupil makes
a star similar to the one illustrated. These are placed in
the classroom where they can be seen by all the pupils.
Throughout the school year, as the pupil fulfills the require-
ments for each point, that portion of the star is colored
with various colors. Each child has the same opportunity
(231)
to win all the six points: The various grade school teachers
keep these records on each pupil's health card.
The first of June, all the pupils who have completed
their stars, and who have each point colored in, are
eligible for health pins. These pins are made up in two
colors, red and blue. The blue pins are awarded to pupils
who have previously won three red pins in successive years.
Otherwise, the award is a red pin. These awards are made
in the various schools during the first week in June.

What materials or methods introduced this year in the
.elementary schools for program enrichment seem to be
most effective?
1. Completion and Adoption of new Courses in Social
Studies.
. (A) Grade III.
A 'Cape Cod Course was completed in the spring by the
following teachers: Miss Marjorie Fiske, Chairman, Mrs.
Joyce Dugan and Miss Inez Lahteine. It has proved to be .
a very helpful and practical teaching aid to the teachers of
the third grade who offer an intensive Cape Cod study. One
section of the course is devoted to teaching objectives, sug-
gestions, and units. Another section includes numerous
samples of actual materials, devices, and games to be used
in connection with the study and in correlation with other
subjects of the curriculum.
Another committee including the teachers'of the third
grades, with Miss Margaret Callery.as chairman, is arrang-
ing a group of exhibits concerning various Cape industries
to supplement this newly adopted Cape Cod Course outline.
Each teacher is concentrating upon one industry and will
obtain available sample materials to vitalize the study of
her particular Cape industry. These exhibits will be assem-
bled in boxes, on charts and in folders. They will be avail-
able in the office of the elementary supervisor whenever
the individual teacher needs them.
(B) Grade V.
A New England Course of Study was evolved by the
committee: Miss Hazel Connor, Chairman, Miss Edith Cush-
ing, and Mrs. Dorothy Moore for the teachers of the fifth
grades. The syllabus was constructed after several units
and numerous materials had been reveiwed, used in the
various classrooms, and then evaluated. The particular
evolved course was then formulated to meet the obvious
(233)
needs of our children and teachers. The committee also .
recommended additional materials to supplement the course
and to make the teachings of New England a more vital
school experience. An excellent summary of the course
was itemized in abbreviated form and printed to guide the
teachers as they create their daily teaching plans for the
New England study.
2. Distribution of Picture Magazine, Grades IV, V, VI.
Several years ago, a picture story drill method for
improvement of oral and written English was introduced
into grades IV, V and VI. The method has been continued
.with gratifying results. The directed English work of the
children in these grades seems to reveal a better understand-
ing of color, fluency, and accuracy.
To make the method more effective and interesting, the
children of the fourtli, fifth, and sixth grades were asked
to write stories about an assigned picture. Some of the
stories were compiled into a magazine and distributed to
the classrooms so that the children might compare and
share their picture stories.
The magazine has done much to intensify interest in
the drill method and to promote sincere desire for continued
improvement in English.
3. Introduction of New Global Geography Course,
Grades III, IV.
During the years of war, global geography became of
increasing importance in our elementary schools. We have
continued to emphasize this instruction. In September, a
new course in global geography was introduced into the
third and fourth grade classrooms. Each room was equip-
ped with the appropriate maps, globes, and other materials
required in the new outline. The pupils are learning that
the globe is a representation of the earth; they are learning
how to use maps accurately; they are beginning to acquire
better ideas of distance and direction.

How does the rating of our High School compaxe with
other high schools?
Periodically, over the years, someone raises this ques-
tion•concerning our high school. The majority of our citi-
zens know- that we have a good high school, with intelli-
gent teachers, a good building, and an up-to-date program.
However, there are always a few who lack faith in what
our town is accomplishing. For this reason, I am particu-
larly glad to bring to your attention some objective evi-
dence-to answer the question.
The State Department of Education gives an official
rating each year to every public high school in Massachu-
setts. For many years, Barnstable High School has received
a Class A certificate, the highest certificate awarded by the
department. The school also has the certification privilege
of the New England College Admissions Board. A pupil
who does satisfactory 'work in the college course at Barn-
stable High School is ready to enter any college without
further preparation.
-
A survey has been made recently, of• the success of our
college course graduates in institutions of higher educa-
tion. Of the 117 graduates who entered college direct from
Barnstable High School between 1935 and 1944, 115 did very
successful work in college and fifty per cent were honor
students. The citizens of Barnstable should. be proud of
this record which can be equalled by very few schools. Some
of the colleges in which our graduates made this record
are: Amherst College, Bates College, Becker College,Boston
University, Bowdoin College, Bridgewater Teachers College,
Brown University, Colby College, Duke University, George-

An additional indication of how our pupils compare
with those from other schools is obtained from the results
of a series of standardized tests which were given to the
entire senior class in October, regardless of what course
they were enrolled in, and what subjects taken., These edu-
cational development tests include a series of general exam-
inations for each of the major fields of instruction; a cor-
responding series of reading tests; a general vocabulary
test; and a test of familiarity with and ability to use
important sources of information, such as books and peri-
odicals, reference works and libraries. These tests have
been given to thousands of high school students throughout
the United States. It is certainly pleasing to know that
the average score for our senior group ranked in the upper
10% of,all schools tested on a national basis.
A. What is the Barnstable Trade School?
B. Who may enroll in the Trade School?
C. Is expansion of the Trade School probable?
A. The Barnstable Trade School at the present time,
consists of two courses—boat building and boat operation
and machine shop. These are four-year courses. -Any boy
enrolled in either of these courses spends one half the school
day in the shop and the other half in regular high school
subjects and classroom work related to his shop course.
B. •Because the Trade School is under the supervision
and partial support of the State, it is an area school, and
` is open to any student on Cape Cod who can meet the
entrance requirements. The minimum age is fourteen, and
(236)
the logical time to enter is at the completion of the eighth
grade.
C. The Trade School should increase its course offer-
ings as rapidly as enrollment demands and shop space,for
new courses can be found. Probable expansion will be
along the lines of automobile mechanics and the various
building trades.
A. How many World War II Veterans have returned
to Barnstable High School?
B. In what other way may veterans complete their
High School training?
C. Have the New England colleges modified their
entrance requirements for veterans?
D. What is In-Service Training?
A. Since the opening of school in September, six
veterans have returned to the High School, five of them to
complete requirements for a diploma, and one for post-
graduate work. Barnstable High School grants credit for
educational experiences in the armed services according
to the recommendations of the American Council on Edu-
cation.
B. Veterans who do not find it convenient to re-enter
High School may take courses in high school subjects offer-
ed by the State Department of Education. Regional high
schools are organized at the State Teachers Colleges and at
several schools (designated by the State Teachers Colleges)
throughout the state. These Regional Schools allow the
veterans to continue high school education in company with
other adults in order to complete work for a diploma or
to prepare for further education.
(237)
r
The plan of instruction organized around correspond-
ence or self-teaching courses is somewhat unique in that
provision is made for group or tutorial instruction as the
need arises and for the acceleration of the veteran at his
own pace.
Veterans may enroll at any time and blanks are avail-
able at the Barnstable High School office. If several veter-
ans show an interest in this plan of instruction, a special
center could be established in Hyannis.
On successful completion of the necessary number of
approved courses, a veteran will be granted a diploma by
Barnstable High School.
C. For veterans who are interested in attending col-
lege in New England, the following information has been
obtained:
1. All colleges have recognized the veterans' problem.
2. Many grant admission at frequent intervals during
the year.
3. Some have accelerated courses.
4. All require a valid High School diploma.
5. Most have modified entrance requirements.
a. Some waive hitherto designated basic subject
requirements and allow admission by apti-
tude test in fields of English and mathe-
matics.
b. Some allow admission with grades lower than
normally required to qualify by passing a
standard college aptitude test, and by.passing
qualifying tests in algebra and English.
c. Others allow pupils with good intelligence
ratings and a definite objective, but without
the prerequisite courses, admission on proba-
tion.
(238)
d. Where prerequisite courses are weak, some
admit to qualifying secondary school courses
without college credit during the first seme-
ster.
e. None segregates veterans.
f. None has lowered the standard of courses
offered.
g. Most are attempting to arrange living facili-
ties for the married veterans on, or near the
campus.
D. The law provides for training on the job if the
veteran elects that method of preparing for a job. The
term "In-service training," rather,than "apprenticeship,"
has been adopted for this kind of program to distinguish
it from the more formal type of on-the-job training for
young apprentices. These programs are approvable for
all kinds of businesses and professions and other agencies
where such programs can be successfully operated.
Under Public Law 346 (further education and training
of veterans) the veteran may elect to get his vocational
training on the job, but on-the-job or in-service training pro-
grams must first be approved by the Board of Collegiate
Authority, except formal apprenticeship programs set up
under State Law 707 which must be approved by the Divi-
sion of Apprentice Training of the State Department of
Labor and Industries. The Vocational Division of the Mas-
sachusetts Department of Education is the active agent
for the Massachusetts Board of Collegiate Authority.
The 'field work involved in setting up the In-service
training program for veterans is turned over to the State-
Aided Vocational Schools, each covering a specified section
of the Commonwealth. To our Barnstable Trade School,
the only state-aided vocational school in this area, falls the
job of carrying out this program on Cape Cod. The work
began slowly in the fall but as the number of returning
(239)
veterans increased and the plan became better known by "
the employers, the rate has been considerably accelerated. '
To date, we have.helped 16 employers to plan to train 30
veterans.
In-Service Training affords an excellent opportunity
for returning veterans to get vocational training and a
living wage at the same time. This plan is becoming increas-
ingly popular and interested employers are urged to contact
us for information concerning it.
Do you anticipate an increased enrollment in the schools
in the near future?
Yes, we do. This year we have an increased enrollment
in the first grade. We expect that the numbers will prob-
ably increase for the next ten years. Beginning about 1952,
we should look for more students in the High School. We
estimate that the peak load will be reached in about 15
,years.
Should the teachers' salaries be increased?
It seems only just and proper that consideration should
be given to their predicament. The pinch between relatively
low salaries and the rising cost of living already has had
a devastating effect .upon teaching. On the average, they
are paid far too little to enable them to maintain themselves
at a level-of professional efficiency. Students scarcely out
of high school are making better wages than teachers of
long experience.
The present emergency condition in staffing our schools
and the prospect for more extreme teacher shortages in the
future, particularly in the lower grades, is a threat to the
welfare of our schools.
(240)
The basic salary classification of teachers in public
school systems should be determined by professional and
academic qualifications regardless of the grade level of the
pupils taught.
If we are to retain our teachers and fill vacancies with-
out jeopardizing our standards, increased salaries must be
provided.
How many dollars worth of war stamps and bonds have
the pupils purchased this.year?
The boys and girls .of the Barnstable Public Schools
have purchased $27,439.00 worth of stamps and bonds dur-
ing the year. These sales are distributed as follows:
Barnstable $1,038.80
West Barnstable 611.20
Marstons Mills 703.85
Cotuit 657.70
Osterville 2,116.10
Centerville 758.00
Hyannis Training 11,763.75
South Street 89.90
Iyanough 830.60
Barnstable High 8,869.10
Total Sales $27,439.00
In 1942 a program for the sale of war stamps and bonds
was begun in the Public. Schools of Barnstable to enable
the,pupils and teachers to participate as a group in the
war effort. Each year has shown increased sales and extra
participation in War Loan Drives.
The pupils and teachers .participated in the Seventh
War Loan Drive, responding with sales amounting to $11,-
500.00; and in recognition of their response, 246 certificates
(241)
were awarded by the Treasury Department to students
who were responsible for the sale of one or more bonds..
In the recent Victory Loan Drive, the pupils of the
Elementary Schools of Barnstable have sponsored three
hospital beds; and a panel reading "The students and teach-
ers of the Public Elementary Schools of Barnstable, Massa-
chusetts, have successfully completed a War Bond and
Stamp Campaign to help finance the hospital facilities YOU
are using" has been placed on one bed at Camp Edwards
Hospital, one at Lovell General Hospital, and one at Cush-
ing General Hospital.
Special commendation is due the following schools with.
100 per cent pupil participation in the months indicated:
Barnstable—the ten months of the school year from Janu-
ary through December; Osterville—April and June; South
Street—May and October; West Barnstable—March, Octo-
ber, November and December. The following schools were
entitled to fly the Minute Man,Flag for the entire year,
with 90 per cent or more of the pupils participating each
month: Barnstable, Osterville, Training School and West
Barnstable.
Conclusion
This brief report does not cover all the phases of the
year's school work worthy of record. It has tried instead,
to reveal certain new services offered in our schools and
to consider various school questions of interest.
We realize that progress in the Barnstable schools dur-
ing the past year has been achieved only by the fine support,
co-operation and untiring efforts of the School Committee,
of the teaching staff and of all others sincerely interested
in the boys and girls of Barnstable.
(242)
I wish to express my sincere appreciation and gratitude
to all concerned for the helpful, hospitable spirit they have
shown and for the unselfish service they have given the
children of our schools.
Respectfully submitted,
MELVIN C. KNIGHT

SELECTMEN'S REPORT
February, 1947
Fellow Citizens:
Since the writer's comments in February,, 1946 were
printed in the Town Officers' Report for 1945, many things
of tremendous significance have transpired, and nearly all
of them have been of a nature which gives as renewed
courage to face the future with confidence and fresh
ambition.
The awful war has at last been declared officially over,
and although it is still necessary to maintain armed forces
in other lands to enforce law and order, there is plenty of
ground for belief that there can and will be found means
to maintain World peace for many years to come.
There is a new Congress and new and better laws are
sure to emerge from both the Washington Capitol, and the
Massachusetts State House on Beacon Hill.
The threatening intentions of incompetent, ignorant
men who held the reins of government for thirteen years,
to control the fundamental laws of supply and demand, and
regiment and regulate all human conduct has been complete-
ly quashed, and we know that never in our time at least, will
such preposterous ideas be given even a hearing by the
American people.
Good government 'in Washington and in most of the
States has replaced rotten government.
Locally, in our own old country town of Barnstable,
the curse of practical politics has never been a serious
8
threat, and although a few are always striving to fan the
sparks into•flame, the great majority of our citizens, with
the help of the officials they place in office are diligent and
promptly stamp it out.
We are thankful that we have succeeded so far, and
let us hope we shall always be successful in keeping our
local governmental affairs as free from foul political vermin
as we have in the•past.
This book will show without doubt the deliberations of
the people in town meetings, and the work of the officers
they have selected, have for another year, been of a high
order.
The Town is in a sound financial condition, and we
enjoy one of the lowest tax rates in the Commonwealth.
The law of supply and demand is again functioning and
it will not be long until all kinds of raw material will be
available at same prices, and it appears to the writer that
.we have every reason to believe that we shall enjoy at least
a reasonable degree of prosperity for some time to come.
CHESTER A. CROCKER,
Chairman of the Board of Selectmen.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT
February 19, 1946
To the Board of Selectmen
Mr. Chester A. Crocker, Chairman
Barnstable, Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
I submit herewith my, report of an audit of the books
and accounts of the town of Barnstable for the year end-
ing December 31, 1945, made in accordance with the pro-
visions of Chapter 44, General Laws. This is in the form of
a report made to me by Mr Herman B. Dine, Assistant
Director of Accounts.
Very truly yours,
THEODORE N. WADDELL,
Director of Accounts
Mr. Theodore N. Waddell
Director of Accounts
Department of Corporations and Taxation
State House, Boston
Sir:
In accordance with your instructions, I have made an
audit of the books and accounts of the town of Barnstable
for the year ending December 31, 1945, and report thereon
as follows:
The records of financial transactions of the several de-
partments receiving or disbursing money for the town or
62
committing bills for collection, were examined, checked and
verified by comparison with the reports and records as kept
by the accounting officer.
The accounting officer's ledger was analyzed, the ap-
propriation accounts being checked to the record of votes
passed at the town meeting as recorded by the town clerk,
and a balance sheet showing the financial condition of the
town on December 31, 1945 was prepared and is appended
to this report. An examination of this balance sheet in-
dicates that the. town is in very good financial condition.
The books and accounts of the town treasurer were
examined and checked in detail. The cash book was footed
and the recorded' receipts were checked with the records
of the several departments collecting money for the town
and with other sources from which money was paid into
the town treasury, while .the. payments were checked with
.,the warrants authorizing the treasurer, to disburse town
funds.
The cash on hand on December 31, 1945 was verified
and the bank balances were reconciled with statements
furnished by the banks of deposit.
The debt and interest payments i ere checked, with the
amounts falling due and with the cancelled -securities on
file.
The savings bank books and securities representing
the investments of the several trust and investment funds
in the custody of the town treasurer were examined and
listed, the income being proved 'and the withdrawals
verified.
The tax titles on hand, including additions made in
1945, were listed and verified. Tax title redemptions were
listed and checked with the treasurer's cash book, and the
tax titles on hand on December 31, 1945 were further veri-
63
fied by comparison with the records in the Registry of
Deeds.
The tax possessions-were examined and checked in de-
tail, all sales being compared with the treasurer's cash
book and the adjustments on account of sales being verified
by comparison with the accounting officer's ledger.
The books and records of the town collector were
examined and checked in detail. The town and fire district
taxes, assessments, and departmental accounts outstanding
according to the previous examination, and all subsequent
commitment lists were audited and reconciled with the war-
rants of the assessors. The payments to the town and dis-
trict treasurers were verified, the abatements were checked
to the assessors' records of abatements granted, and the
outstanding accounts were listed and proved with the ac-
counting officer's ledger.
The outstanding accounts were further verified by
mailing notices to a number of persons whose names ap-
peared on the books as owing money to the town, and
from the replies received it appears that the accounts, as
listed, are correct.
The town clerk's records of dog, sporting and miscel-
laneous licenses issued were examined, the payments td the
State being verified by comparison with the receipts on .
file, and the payments to the town treasurer being com-
pared with the treasurer's cash book.
The books and records of the selectmen, sealer of
weights and measures, and of the police, health and school
departments, as well as of all other departments collecting
money for the town, were examined and checked with the
treasurer's record of receipts and with the records of the
accounting officer.
The surety bonds of the officials bonded for the faithful
performance of their duties were examined and found to
be in proper form.
64
Appended to this report, in addition to the balance
sheet, are schedules showing a reconciliation of the trea-
surer's cash, summaries of the town and fire district taxes,
assessments, tax titles, tax possessions, and -departmental
accounts, together with schedules`showing the condition
.and transactions of the trust and investment funds.
For the cooperation extended by all town officials dur-
ing the progress of the audit, I wish, on behalf of my assist-
ants and for myself, to express appreciation.
Respectfully submitted,
HERMAN B. DINE,
Assistant Director of Accounts

Report of the
SURVEYOR OF HIGHWAYS
We have been able to make considerable progress on our
sidewalk program during the year 1946. Several hundred
feet of curb and several hundred feet of tar sidewalk have
been built in each of the villages. The entire length of Sea
Street in Hyannis, about 3,000 feet, now has curb and tar
sidewalk on one side and-about 300 feet on the other side.
Sections have also been put on Barnstable Road, about 400
feet, on South Street, 600 feet and North Street, 600 feet.
About 700 feet of surface drainage has been installed in
Osterville, 600 feet in Centerville and the drainage system
near the Airport on Route 28 has been extended 2,700 feet
to the swamp. The condition of the surface drainage in the
West end of Main Street is still very,bad, and until a larger
outlet pipe is laid to Snow's Creek via Pine Street, nothing
can be done to improve the situation as we are draining too
large an area for the size of the pipe.
More than the usual amount of patching and sealing has
been done, both with sand and asphalt and with half-inch
stone and asphalt. We have applied approximately 85,000
gallons of asphalt; 15,000 gallons tarvia and tarmac on seal
coat work and about 47,000 gallons of tarvia and asphalt
on Chapter 90 work, which is financed jointly by the town,
county and state.
Long Beach Road has been raised about 18 inches, resur-
faced and seal-coated for 2,000 feet and drainage conditions
are much'improved.
Cable guard rail has been erected in many parts of the
town to replace the old wooden fence, some in Craigville
160
Beach; River Road, Newton; Ocean Avenue, Hyannis; Main
Street, Barnstable; Cotuit High Ground and,several other
places.
Under Chapter 90, South County Road or Old Route 28
has been widened and resurfaced from Centerville Traffic
Light through Osterville to Route 28 at Marstons Mills.
We hope during next year to finish South County road
from Centerville to Route 28 at the Bianca Shop and to ,
widen a portion of Route 132 under Chapter 90.
Street and traffic signs have been repaired and replaced
and many new ones have been added. It is almost impos-
sible to keep them in place as many of them are carried off
or destroyed during the summer season.
Street marking has been ,extended in all parts of the
town as we are able to do this work at considerable saving
with the equipment we now have.
The construction of the new Grand Island Bridge is
well underway and we expect to have a much better ap-
proach to Oyster Harbors and a faster operating draw-
bridge..
Buildings and equipment of this department are in good
shape.
No new equipment has. been purchased except a small
roller and sidewalk brush for snow work. We are in need
of two new trucks and hope to be able to get them in 1947.
I wish again to thank the officials and committees of
the Town and also the citizens for their co-operation and
assistance.

ROAD COMMITTEE REPORT
The committee met .Wednesday, January 29, 1947, at
the Town Garage and recommended the passage of several
articles at the request of the Road Surveyor; two of which,
were approved last year. One calls for new construction
under Chapter 90, which provides a contribution by the
county and state, and the other one is for maintenance under
Chapter 90. The resurfacing already done has saved the
roads so treated and prolonged their usefulness.
The committee also passed favorable on all items which
go to snake up the budget, except the salary of the Road
Surveyor which, it was unanimously voted, should be in-
creased to $4,000.00 a year.
We were shown through the Town Garage by our effi-
cient Road Surveyor, who has developed this part of the
Toivn's business so that the Department,of Public Works
is a. credit to the Town of Barnstable.

Report of the
INSPECTOR OF BUILDING
To the Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable:
Gentlemen:
During the year 1946, 89 permits were issued for new
homes at an estimated valuation of $424,300.
Forty-three permits for camps and minor buildings at
a valuation of $12,350.
Forty permits for private. garages at a valuation of
$27,200.
Twenty-one permits for commercial buildings at a val-
' nation of $240,650.
One hundred thirty permits for additions, alterations
and repairs at a valuation of $197,595.
This makes an estimated total valuation of $902,095,
an increase of $749,695 over 1945.
Part of this increase was due to lifting of Government
restrictions and part to the high cost of stock and labor.
About 75% of the buildings for which permits were
issued have been completed.
From my observations during the six years I have been
Building Inspector, I think the Town should have Zoning
Laws as soon as possible.
Also, I think the building laws should be revised to
some extent.
Just a few words about pre-fabricated houses, about
which there has been so much agitation the past two years.
1.66
From what I have read on the subject and from what
I have heard, from men well qualified to talk on the matter, ,
at various meetings of the Massachusetts Building Inspec-
tors' Association, which I have _attended, the most money
anyone could save would not be over $150.
Would it not be much better to go to a reliable builder
and have him build a house that would last, at least 20 years
without having to pay too much for repairs.
I have seen pre-fabricated houses, they were called
portable houses in years gone by, that have been bills of.
expense to their owners after having been built only two
or three years.
Respectfully submitted,
HOWARD G. LUMBERT,
Building Inspector.

THE INSPECTOR- OF WIRES
To the Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable:
Gentlemen:
I am pleased to subinit my annual report ,for the year
ending December 31, 1946.
The shortage of essential wiring materials has retarded
electrical construction to some extent this year altho consid-
erable increase was noted in the number of electric range
and oil burner inspections.
I have been able to keep quite well informed of the
changes in the 1947 wiring code and the many new wiring
devices and insulations by attending the meetings of the
Electrical Inspectors' Association held in Boston.
No fires from electrical causes have been reported to the
department this year.
For the year ending December 31, 1946:
Electrical inspections 1,583
Service permits to the Cape and Vine-
yard Electric Co. 475
Miles traveled 11,956

Report of
TREE WARDEN DEPARTMENT
To the Citizens of the Town of Barnstable
I am pleased to report that this year it has been possi-
ble to obtain a good crew of tree climbers and a great deal
of work has been accomplished in removing the dead and
broken branches from the large shade trees in the several
villages throughout the town. It was necessary to cover
all the trees throughout the town to remove broken branch-
es that were in danger of falling. When emergency work
was completed, the trees in the villages of West Barnstable,
Cotuit and Osterville were given a thorough pruning, put=
ting them in as good condition as possible. Much work was
also done in the other villages and I feel sure that within
another year, all the pruning and-removing of dead branches
will be completed and that the trees will be in good con-
dition.
During the past year, it has been necessary to remove
an unusually large number of trees. These trees were badly
damaged in the recent hurricane and from which they fail-
ed to recover. It is the belief of this department that this
condition will continue for several years.
A large majority of the young shade trees in the town
have shown almost complete recovery from the damage
caused by the hurricane and high winds. These trees were
fertilized during the proper season and I believe they will
grow to be normal, healthy trees. The young shade trees
along the highways bordering the shore areas have failed
to recover and in many instances it may be necessary to
replant these trees. '
169
The Tent Caterpiller'situation:,continues to show im-
provement in some areas, while in other areas, they have
increased. This department, with the co-operation of the
Highway Department,'is doing all possible to'remove the
wild cherry trees bordering the highways, thereby helping
to eliminate the breeding place of this pest. A new type
of weed killer is.also being used to help eliminate the wild
cherry tree.
The Elm Beetle infestation in the various villages con-
tinues to be under control. • All elms were sprayed twice
for the control of this insect, where necessary.
The Dutch Elm Disease continues to be found in ever-
increasing localities throughout the various sections of New
England. During the past year, the Dutch Elm Disease has
been found in areas within 50 miles of this town. This year
our department, with the co-operation of the State Depart-
ment of Conservation and all bordering towns, are this year
putting on an intensive spray program to eliminate the Bark
Beetle, which is the carrier of this disease.
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN F. SHIELDS,
Tree Warden.
170 .
MOTH DEPARTMENT
To the Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable:
• In submitting my report for 1946, I am pleased to report
that the Gypsy Moth situation throughout the town contin-
ues to show improvement. The various infestations in the .
different villages were sprayed and kept under control. The
infestations along several.of the Massachusetts highways in
the town were so light that this department did not deem it
necessary to spray them•and this department is going.to do
everything possible to keep the Gypsy Moths confined to
these small areas. As it is impossible to scout all the infeste-
ed areas, we would appreciate the co-operation of all citi-
zens in reporting'infested areas found on their property.
The labor situation has nearly returned to normal, thus
making it possible to obtain a full compliment of men to
carry out the required work. The creosoting of the egg
clusters was carried on during the Winter and early Spring.
The spraying started at the usual time and continued
throughout the spraying season. All infestations, border-
ing the roads,in the town, were sprayed and the more heav-
ily infested areas were sprayed until the pest was under
control. The new post-war sprays, of which great results
are expected, -Nvere not available at this time, except in very
limited quantities. The trials carried out with these new
sprays proved very satisfactory and we hope, in the future,
to use only these new types of'sprays. In order to com-
plement these new sprays, it may be necessary to make
major changes in methods of application. The State Dc-
partment of Conservation has made extensive tests with a
new duster which makes it possible to cover larger areas
more economically. I feel sure they will recommend this
new type of application during the coming year.
171
A crew of men covered the entire area infested by the
Brown Tail Moth, cutting and destroying their nests. This
pest is found mostly on the North side of the town, which
was completely scouted, with the exception of 'the Sandy
Neck area.
The Fall Webb Moth continues to be prevalent during
the late Summer and early Fall. A crew of men were assign-
ed to cut and destroy these moths over a period of several
weeks. This work showed limited results because of the
large areas to be covered and the fact that the moths con-
tinue to hatch for several weeks. This department has hopes
of controlling this pest with a new D.D.T. spray applied
to the trees before the eggs hatch.'
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN F. SHIELDS,
Moth Supt.
172
Report of
FOREST FIRE WARDEN
To the Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable
Gentlemen:
I herewith submit my eleventh annual report for the
year ending December 31, 1946.
This Department answered calls to 39 brush fires, 35
grass fires and 2 building fires, making a total of 76 from
the following causes:
22 burning
20 careless smoking
12 children
5 incinerators
4 hot ashes
2 railroad
1 tractor
1 airplane crash
2 carbon
4 out of town
3 unknown
76
The Patrol extinguished forty of these fires and assist-
ed at most of the others while on duty. Over 3300 permits
for burning were issued in the town this year and the
Patrol checked on as many of these as possible, doubtless
saving many more fires from breaking out later. The Patrol
has corrected many hazardous conditions throughout the
town particularly in respect to incinerators and are ready
to advise anyone in doubt. Incinerator burning must be
173
V
confined to early evening and only after the iN-ind has sub-
sided.'It. is not only dangerous to burn in the daytime, but;
interferes with "the ability of the operator in the Fire
Tower to tell when a fire is starting. While. we did not
have a particularly bad fire season, a. great many of these
fires were caused by carelessness and could have been
avoided. Such carelessness could result in a disastrous fire
such as Bourne and Sandwich experienced this year. The
Patrol has continued the work of road clearing this Fall.
There has been no addition to our Forest Fire Equip-
ment for several years. We have replaced worn out. and
broken equipment. The present equipment, while growing
old, is in good repair.
In closing, I wish to thank the citizens and especially
the Fire Departments for their co-operation during the
past year.
Respectfully submitted,
B. S. AMES,
Forest Fire. Warden.

Report of
THE SHELLFISH CONSTABLE
For the Year 1946
To the Selectmen of the .Town of Barnstable:
I herewith submit my twentieth report as Shellfish
Constable for the Town of Barnstable.
In making this report I cannot help but call to 'atten-
tion the continued unusual conditions that we keep en-
countering in the shellfish industry. Each year I think we
must at last get back to normal, but things just don't work
out that way. For instance, due to the. shortage of food pro-
ducts of all kinds, particularly during the early part of
1.946, there was an unusually heavy demand for all kinds
of shellfish. This naturally made for high prices; the high-
estI have known in my twenty years' experience. In re-
spect to clams, this demand.was far in excess of the supply.
Even the relatively poor quality of some of our clams this
year failed in any way to affect either the price of the
demand.
We 'have continued to find it difficult to obtain help
in carrying on our work of shellfish propagation and pro-
tection. Also the present high price• of the seed clams used
in propagation and the.high cost of labor has caused us
to consider rather carefully whether we are justified in
spending the taxpayer's money at this rate for the benefit
of the few people who work in the clam. industry.
We have under consideration a pi-oagrani whereby at
least part of this expense can be borne by those who benefit
directly from such expenditures instead 'of having it all
come from taxation. It should be added that the state
177
stands ready now as in the past to make- contributions to
these expenses. But we must spend the money first in order
to get subsequent reimbursement from them.
CLAMS
•During the year 1946, as for some time past, Barn-
stable Harbor remained closed to all clam digging except
for- town trade. The fishermen were allowed to dig under
supervision three days per week only.
It seems to me that there has been a greater amount
of criticism this year of our regulations, and possibly of
those .in charge, than has been true for a. great many
,years. Since the shellfish situation has been particularly
trying in many other respects, this additional criticism has
been a little• harder to take than usual. It is al§o somewhat
difficult to understand, unless those who are doing most
of the talking, are only partially informed on the situation.
I am sure if they were charged with the responsibility of
the shellfish industry for a while during these trying times
they would then be more inclined to recognize the facts
of the situation than they are now.
Perhaps some figures would help, us to better under-
stand the entire situation. For the years 1941. to 1946 in-
clusive, we• issued a total of 513 clam permits and dug
28,000 barrels of clams 'which sold for a total of, ap-
proximately $262,000.00. This tremendous drain 'of clams
from the flats, plus the fact that, we had practically no set
during the years of 1943, 1944, and 1945, are obvious rea-
sons why our commercial supply of clams has been very
short. Most clams 'of marketable size are at least three or
four years old. It therefore naturally follows that, having
no set for the above-mentioned years, our supply of clams
is bound to be small during the 1947, 1948 and 1949 period.
To those who would question the advisability of having
dug such large amounts in past years, I would,say that in
the first place, it would have been very difficult to deprive
178
the residents of the•town of -an adequate supply of clams
during the period when food supplies were so scarce; and,
secondly, digging could not be too long delayed, otherwise
the clams would have• grown to a size that was not usually
marketable, or in many cases, they would have died.
During 1946, until the middle of August, we could fur-
nish enough clams to supply a fairly large portion of the
,demand. Our supply of steamer clams was then practically
exhausted. After that it was a case of taking the larger
clams or nothing. The amounts taken, subsequently, were
naturally much smaller It was necessary for many of our
eating establishments to depend upon clam •supplies out-
side of our town, a situation which has not existed dur-
ing the past ten-years.
We have no indication yet of what might be called a
general clam set. There are however, a few spots that look
quite promising but these will not be available for digging
for two or three years. As yet it is too early to determine
whether any of the 1946 set will survive or not.
We carried out one re-seeding project this year. In
May we planted 755 bushels of small seed clams on about
three and one-half acres on the east end of Sand Island
The State Division of Marine Fisheries supplied the clams
and delivered them to us, the town paying one-half the
cost of seed. The town paid for the necessary supplies and
planting. The total cost was $1527.00. This area will not be
ready for digging before late 1947 or more probably dur-
ing the 1948 season.
To sum up briefly our prospects for 1947, we would
say that there .will,be practically no steamers and only a
very short supply of large clams. Had we not been very
careful-to keep out of areas where digging would be harm-
ful to• small clams and had we not dug under supervision
(which is none too popular with some of the diggers), I
am certain that our supply of clams would have been long
since completely exhausted.
179
SHELLFISH ENEMIES
During the summer of 1946, we had one man working
.six days and one man three days per week destroying shell-
fish enemies. Their time was spent almost exclusively on
the seeded areas. From May 5th to November. 25th they
destroyed 11,900 horseshoe crabs, 7,100 cockles and 2,600
sand collars. No starfish or harmful grass growth was found
in Barnstable Harbor this year.
For many years the State Division of Marine Fisheries
has had in mind the possible benefit which might result if
flats were plowed deeply. They had felt that this stirring
Lip of the soil might result in much more•favorable condi-
tions for catching a clam set. This year, largely at the ex-
pense of the state and under our supervision, we had a
tractor plow up about three and one-half acres of barren
flats near Scorton Creek. It should be understood that this
is only in the nature of an experiment and may or may
not show results. We have staked this area off and are
trying to keep a careful check on it. It is only through ex'_
perimentatiQu of this sort that we can ever arrive at any
definite conclusions in regard to the propagation of clams.
If this experiment fails to bear fruit, which is quite pos-
sible, we should experiment furthex with re-soiling projects
which should bear considerable promise if the expense in-
volved were not too heavy.
QUAHAUGS
During the past year we have discovered no new seed-
ed areas and it is the general cencensus of opinion among
quahaug fishermen that the outlook for the next year or
two is not too bright. Although there were a few more per-
mits issued than in 1945, the amount of quahaugs dug was
slightly less than last year. The drop in demand and price
during the latter part of the year resulted in the total re—
ceipts being also slightly less than in 1945. I am unable to
explain why the price of quahaugs should have dropped
180
when the price of all other shellfish has remained at an all-
time high. I have said many times in the past, when we.
consider the amount of quahaugs taken commercially and
the large amounts taken for family use and the relatively
small set from year to year, it is difficult to see how there
could be any quahaugs left. Although the fishermen con-
tinue to tell iiie that quahaugs are getting very scarce and
they don't,see ho«- they can continue to fish much longer,
still very often they bring in their limit without putting
in too long a day.
We have one closed seeded area in Lewis Bay which
apparently remains in good condition. This area should be
a source of a considerable supply .of ".little necks" in
1947. Having in mind the fact that the fishermen seem to
be able to continue to catch quahaugs long after the sup-
ply appears to be pretty nearly exhausted, I would expect
that our receipts for 1947 would not be greatly different
than for the past two or three years. Quahaugs are but
little effected by shellfish enemies. The greater part of-
money expended for this kind of shellfish is used for re-
seeding when seed quabaugs are available.
RAZOR FISH
There has been no plentiful supply of razor fish since
1940 although at the present time conditions seem to be
somewhat better than last year. The former demand for
razor fish was due to its extensive use as bait. When our
supply became so short during the period of 1940 to 1945,
the fishing boats in Boston, Chatham, and elsewhere had
to rely on other types of shellfish.for bait, purposes. Sea
clams from New Jersey, many of our own clams, and other
shellfish were used. Since our thatch and eel grasses have
been coming back, new mussel beds have been again in
evidence. These have been used extensively for bait and
have largely replaced razor fish. It is then easy to under-
stand that the demand for razor fish has greatly decreased.
181
The razor-fishermen, therefore, are faced with the possi-
bility that their only orders will come during;the periods
of very hard weather when other types of shellfish' are not
obtainable by the fishermen.
SCALLOPS
As I predicted a year ago, the supply of scallops dur-
ing 1946'turned out to be very small. As a matter of fact,
there have been.only two years in the past fourteen that
have produced smaller crops. During the recent scallop
season, however, the prices.were so high that the fishermen
fished-a great deal longer than would ordinarly,have been
the case. This year scallops were found mostly in Lewis
Bay, Hyannis, but even here most of the boats gave up,
after a week ,or ten days.
Small amounts 'of scallops were also found in the
mouth of Popponnessett Bay, a few in Cotuit Bay, and a
feNw in Seapuit River. There were almost none in West Bay
and none in North Bay. Reports from fishermen would
seem to indicate a not much larger supply for 1947:
Probably due to the scallop shortage, there have been
a great many recommendations offered to us with a view
to obtaining a larger supply of scallops in the future.
Among others, we have had the suggestion that all dredging
of 'scallops in the town be done away with. Also we have
had the inore conservative suggestions that dredging be
done away with only in those areas where water is suffi-
cientdy shallow to allow the gathering of scallops by hand
rakes and nets. There -is, no doubt, considerable merit in
these arguments. In any areas that are dredged extensively
and where there are seed scallops, considerable damage un-
questionably is done. The seed scallops are dredged up
many tunes and thrown back with all kinds of trash that
comes in with the,dredges. This constant handling cannot
help but destroy a very large proportion of the. seed.
182
1
I have carefully looked over our own records and have
consulted town and state officials in regard to this matter
and am not able to arrive at any definite conclusion. It
would seem obvious to me that there would be no point
in discontinuing.dredging in areas or bays where the water
is too deep to make the taking by rake or net possible. I
do believe that it might be beneficial to close to dredging
for a period of years some of the shoal-water parts of our
bays. You note that I have said. that this should be done
for a. period of years. The experiment, if tried for only
one, two or three years, would,gain little because of the
fact that scallop sets are very uncertain and entirely erron-
eous conclusions might be drawn simply because of an ex-
ceptionally heavy set or complete lack of a set during the
short period of the experiment. If such a regulation how-
ever, were kept in force for several years it would seem
likely that the over-all result would be a very good indica-
tion of what should be done thereafter. We should take
note of the fact that star fish are very deadly enemies to
scallops and are present in considerable numbers on some
potentially good scallop ground. Money should be pro-
vided. for the removal of these star fish in order to give
scallops every chance to-develop.
Sea gulls also destroy a large number of scallops'if
they are found in shallow vvater. Severe winter weather
is also an additional hazard for such,scallops. The obvious
alternative would seem to move scallops found in shoal
areas to deeper water. Some would no dobbt be killed in
the transplanting process as they are a very tender shell-
fish; but no doubt a great deal of good would result. The
fact that eel grass is again coming back in our bays should
be a help to the propagation of scallops in the future.
GENERAL
During the year 1946 we issued a few more permits
than ib 1945 but the total income to the fishermen from
183
all kinds of shellfish fell about $6000 short of last year.
This shortage was largely due to the small amounts of
scallops and razor fish taken.
It should be interesting to note that my records of
the last twenty years give the following information. Dar-
ing this period the town has issued a little more than 5,800
commercial permits, the fees amounting to more than
$17,000.00. tinder these permits 650,000 bushels of shellfish
have been taken; the receipts amounting to more than
$1,300,000.00. If we consider also the amounts taken for
family use, the total value of all shellfish taken during this
period would probably approach $2,000,000.00 Over this
same period the town has spent about $85,000 altogether on
its shellfish industry; about 5% of the total value of shell-
fish taken.
Although I have mentioned this matter in former re-
ports, it seems to me that I should again call attention to
the necessity for careful study of the taking of shellfish
for family use. As most people are well aware, any resident
of Massachusetts has the same privilege of taken the shell-
fish for family use from our shores as have our own Barn-
stable residents. I find in checking on these takings dur-
ings the year that a very large number of people outside
the town come here and take away their legal family limit
in shellfish. In times of plentiful supply these takings by
outsiders are not badly felt, but in tithes of scarcity such
as the present, they are an extremely important factor and
a heavy drain on our supplies of shellfish. It would appear
that we should close large areas of our flats to the taking
of shellfish for family purposes. Most of our shore line
areas which have any supply at all are being dug so hard
and so often that there is no opportunity for either growth
or increase.
Another important phase of the shellfish industry is
the necessity for re-seeding, transplanting, and perhaps
some kind of -soil, cultivation'or improvement. The matter
184
of cultivation has long been under consideration by both
state and town officials, but a great deal of impetus has
been added to this study by the current shortage of shell-
fish. State committees have been appointed and money
raised to study the matter and to see if something might
not be done to increase our shellfish supply. We should con-
sider very seriously the appropriation of such sums of
money as might be necessary to carry on shellfish projects
which bear reasonable promise of being successful.
Certainly a part of the cost of propagation should be
taken care of by those who hold commercial permits and
benefit directly from the. work of conservation and propa-
gation. We need substantially larger amounts of money to
carry on our shellfish work. A large part of-this increase
should be borne in some way by the fishermen themselves.
Possibly by paying a certain amount for each bushel of
shellfish taken. I believe the taxpayers would be much
more inclined to contribute generously in taxes to a pro-
gram from which they receive no direct benefit if those
who do benefit made a substantial contribution. I have
taken this matter up with those in other sections of the
state where similar plans have.been tried and feel that if
it is properly set up and enforced it cannot help but be
successful.
I have called many of these matters to the attention
of the citizens of Barnstable before but have repeated
many of them because the shellfish situation is at present
in such a critical state that if we are ever to embark on a
more ambitious and, comprehensive program now would
seem to be the time.
Respectfully submitted,
ERNEST 0. DOTTRIDGE,
Shellfish Constable for the
Town of Barnstable.

REPORT OF THE PLANNING BOARD
For the Year Ending 1946
To the Citizens of Barnstable:
For the past year your planning board has held regu-
lar monthly meetings together with many special meetings.
The members of the board have attended many of the
town hearing$ and have presented their findings to the
Selectmen. The board believes that the entire town, and
particularly the village of Hyannis, will grow,considerably
in the, next few years and that there will be a great deal
of new building,construction both business and residential.
With this in view the board recommends that building
lines be established throughout the entire town.
At the annual town meeting to be held March 4, 1947,
the board recommends, and strongly advises that the sum
of $1500.00 be appropriated for the purpose of preparing
a comprehensive zoning map of the entire town. The board
further recommends that this work be done as much as
possible under the town engineering department and that
experts be called in to study and make recommendations
in the preparation of such a map.
For many years past the planning board and many .
businessmen have recommended that a new Railroad Sta-
tion be built several hundred feet to the north of the one
now existing in'the Village of Hyannis allowing for widen-
ing and opening of Main Street together with ample parking
facilities adjacent to the new station. This board and the
Selectmen have studied such a layout with Railroad offi-
cials and although no definite assurance has been given we
are confident that the first step must taken by the town
186
before action of, any kind can be e'ipected from the Rail-
road. With this in view we are presenting an article for
your consideration and if .the project can be completed
we believe it will be of great value to the town.
The board stands ready as always to meet with in-
dividuals-or groups to discuss their problems and to study
them relative to town planning.

Report of
BOARD OF PUBLIC WELFARE
GENERAL RELIEF
For the first time in the last seven years, the total ex-
penditures for General Relief have shown an increase over
the preceding year; a total of $32,692.06 against $30,845.28
in _.1945, an increase of 6%. If it were not for unemploy-
ment benefits, it could easily have reached twice this amount
to perhaps 20%.
So again, we can say that our case load consisted of
the aged and infirm not eligible for Old Age Assistance;
those who were mentally or physically incapacitated; and
those who were not desirable employees and not eligible
for unemployment benefits. However, for the following
year our budget must also include those who are willing to
work, but through the forces of strong and keen competition
will have to rely upon public funds in whole or in part.
The chart shows at the end of the year an increase of
eight cases, and it is interesting to know that the majority
of these were not eligible for unemployment benefits because
they were in the employ of the government in 1945.
Thinking along the lines of full employment for at least
eight months of the year, our case load for 1947 should not
increase at other than an even tempo. This prediction is
based, however, upon the assumption that living costs may
come down to somewhere near normal, making it again
possible to save for emergencies during periods of employ-
ment.
188
AID TO DEPENDENT CHILDREN
The amount of $23,215.62 was spent on Aid to Depend-
ent Children cases this year as compared to $20,435.36 in
1945, an increase of $2,780.26, This increase can be account-
ed for by a new law which went into effect in September,
snaking it mandatory that each case be assisted according
to budgetary standards. The case load was also greater by
five cases, and this trend with the new law will necessitate
a higher appropriation ,in 1947, with costs reaching the
$30,000 mark.
OLD AGE ASSISTANCE
Old Age Assistance costs were $136,358.08, an increase
of $17,129.64 in' expenditures for the year. This increase
can very well be attributed to the lowering of contributions
required of children, plus new cases, and the higher cost of
living. Our monthly payroll to recipients increased about
$1,000, due to the lowering of contributions, and the new
budget which also went into effect in September accounted
for an approximate rise of 57o.
Present indications are that Old Age Assistance costs
will continue to rise substantially in 1947.

REPORT OF THE TOWN COUNSEL
To the Board of Selectmen:
I submit herewith the report of the Toivtn'Couiis'el for
the year ending December 31, 1946.
When appointed on April first the'matter of,determin-
ing the -legality of the town's authority to proceed with a
veterans' housing project at the airport was the most urgent
legal problem. The legislature on January 30 had passed
an emergency act purporting to give towns and cities author-
ity to provide emergency housing for veterans and their
families. Throughout the Commonwealth the constitution-
ality of this act was being questioned and in many places
projects of this nature were being.delayed because of this.
The town and the selectmen were in the position of being
faced with a serious problem, the easing of which they had
every desire to legally accomplish in the shortest possible
period of time. The selectmen, therefore, requested a for-
mal opinion on the matter.and it was given to them on April
11. The report of the town counsel was to the effect that in
his opinion the emergency act was constitutional and that
'the plan to provide such housing with the assistance of the
Federal government at the Quonset Huts area of the airport
was legally sound. Contracts and conunittments were made
based on this opinion and the project ivas started without
delay. .,It was with some satisfaction and considerable relief
to note that in June,. the Supreme Judicial Court in an
Opinion of the Justices upheld the constitutionality of the
act.
The problem of returning the airport to full civilian
use -and the providing of adequate services, facilities and
conveniences with a minimum of liability and expense to
191.
the town required careful consideration on the part of the
selectmen and the drafting of contracts to secure these ends.
This work was completed in time for the Summer season.
During the Fall term of the Barnstable Superior Court
three of the seven pending land damage cases were disposed
of, one by trial and two by settlement. These were the
Clifford, Parsons and Godoy cases. In each case the results
were satisfactory to the town. There remains pending in
that court four land damage cases and three personal injury
cases, the status of which remains unchanged from that
reported-by the town counsel in his last annual report. No
new actions against the town have been brought in this
court.
In the Land Court in cases where the town appears as
respondent there has been no activity. In a tax lien fore-
closure case which has lain dormant because of the military
service of two respondents, supplementary citations have
been issued and a conclusion favorable to the town is ex-
pected within a short period of time.
During the past eight months only one claim for injur-
ies because of an alleged highway defect has been made
against the town. A prompt investigation and report made
by the police department disclosed facts which it is believed
will discourage legal action upon the part of the claimant.
In the Barnstable Probate Court, there have been hear-
ings on three petitions for instructions brought by the exec-
utors under the will of Elida W. Lovell. In the first a de-
cision and decree favorable to the contentions of the town,
the residuary legatee, was entered. In the other two cases
which have been recently heard, and which are awaiting
decisions, there is no substantial dispute on the issues in-,
volved.
The last annual meeting authorized the purchase of a
large tract of land on East Bay in Osterville for bathing
beach purposes. This purchase was completed on June 3
192
for the amount authorized by the meeting. A few minor
matters having to do with mutual releases of easements be-
tween adjoining owners and the town should be acted upon
by a vote of the town.
At this same meeting two other votes -,were passed
instructing the selectmen to purchase or take by eminent
domain two tracts of land in Hyannis for bathing beach
purposes. These were the Sea Street beach and Dunbar's
Point. In the case of the Sea Street beach agreements as
to the amount of damages were negotiated by the select-
men with the major portion owners within the limits of the
total amount authorized by'the town, and a taking by emin-
ent domain so as to clear all title problems was completed
on June 14. It is recommended that in the future even in
cases where all details can be agreed upon in the purchase
of real estate by the town'that there also be given authority
to take by eminent domain as this is a most effective method
of clearing possible title defects even though the parties are
willing to give deeds of conveyance.
In the case, of the Dunbar's Point property, the town
voted the sum of twenty-five thousand dollars for either the
purchase or taking by eminent domain. At the outset it
became obvious that the owner would not sell for the
amount appropriated and that if a taking were made the
town would be involved in a land damage case in which the
eventual cost to the town could not be foreseen. Represen-
tatives of the town and interested citizens met with the
owner in many occasions. The result of this and of the
owner's interest in the proper future development of a
recreational area for the town resulted in an offer by him
to make a gift to the town of a portion of this land! This
gift was accepted at a special meeting held on December 20.
Since that time Dr. Herbert T. Kalmus, the owner, has made
an offer to make a second gift of an adjoining parcel. When
accepted, at no cost to itself, the town will have at the west-'
erly part of Dunbar's Point a beach with a frontage of about
193
five hundred'fifty feet and a depth of about one thousand
feet. It is recommended that this second gift be accepted
and that both gifts be acknowledged with appreciation for ,
the owner's generosity. It is hoped that there may be gifts
of additional parcels in the future and that the town may
see fit to'use the funds which have been saved by the gen-
erosity of Dr. Kalmus for a real and substantial development
of this area.
The selectmen and the town counsel, as instructed by
vote of the town, have studied the problem of recodification
and revision of the town's by-laws. A report with this com-
mittee's recommendations will be found elsewhere in the
annual report. It is recommended that the town follow
these recommendations and adopt the proposals set forth in
that report. If such is done then the work of recodification
and revision can be both legally and intelligently under-
taken.
The above matters are set forth somewhat at length
because they are believed to be of substantial interest to
the town as a whole. The daily handling of the town's legal
affairs may not be of interest to all so' no attempt is made
to point them out in detail. These services involve matters
in and outside of court, the study of legal problems,.'the
preparation of letters and documents, conferences and the
furnishing of both oral and written opinions to the various
officers, boards and committees of the town. The subjects.
have been varied and- numerous as might well be expected
of a town now having an annual budget in excess of one
million dollars'.
I wish to publicly acknowledge the excellence of the
services rendered the town for fifteen years by the former
town counsel, the Honorable Charles C. Paine. In the field
of municipal law his knowledge and ability is equaled

REPORT OF BOARD OF HEALTH
In addition to its usual functions, the Board of Health
has embarked upon new programs which we know will ben-
efit the community.
In April of this year, we passed a,law prohibiting the
sale of raw milk within the, confines of our town.
Out of a sense of fairness to the dealers involved, we
have postponed the effective date of this law until we were
reasonably sure equipment could be purchased. It is to be
emphasized however, that that is the only reason we have
postponed our action. We are convinced that pasteuriza-
tion of milk is a necessary precaution for community health
even though,it may be a momentary burden for the individ-
ual producer.
Barnstable is the first town on Cape Cod to enact such
a law and it is our earnest hope that other towns will follow.
When Dr. Goff resigned, it put some added burdens on
the personnel of the Board of Health and again we are
indebted to Mrs. Caskin and Mr. Chase'for their thorough
and zealous work in our organization.
When the State of Massachusetts biologicals were re-
moved to the Court House, it made it a little more difficult
for many of the doctors to obtain them so with the consent
of State and County officials and the whole hearted co-oper-
ation of the Cape Cod Hospital, a stock of biologics is now
kept in the hospital, and Mr. Robert D. Chase sees, to the
maintenance of supply.
196
The Diphtheria Clinic which we started two years ago
showed no prospect of being completed because the County
Health Officer had not been appointed, so the Board of
Health in co-operation with the District Nursing Associa-
tion and the School Department and using -the community
physicians, cleaned up the back-log of cases which had been
accumulated.
The Dental Clinic has been curtailed because of the
resignation of Dr. John A. Burns and our inability to hire a
satisfactory dentist. It is not felt by the Board that we
should at this time embark on an expensive dental clinic
and it is also felt that there should be some agreement as
to who shall bear the various expenses both for personnel,
equipment and location of dental clinics. It is our earnest
belief that a central clinic should be established or an ade-
quate mobile one be purchased.
The contagious diseases are at a minimum, some in-
crease in whooping cough, with no fatalities and it is pleas-
ing to know that in the Town of Barnstable, diphtheria has,'
fallen while in the rest of the State it has increased.
Conditions at the town dump have improved steadily.
Many more improvements are planned which cannot be car-
ried out until we are able to secure proper equipment. It
was hoped this equipment would be available in 1946, we
are still waiting for same although the order was placed
over a year ago. Special attention is being given to the
reduction of smoke and odors.
We are sorry to -see Dr. Goff leave after many years of
pleasant relationship with him and we welcome Dr. Fred
L. Moore.

REPORT OF DISTRICT NURSING ASSOCIATION
To the Barnstable Board of Health:
The report of the District Nursing Association for the
calendar year 1946 finds the demand for bedside nursing
in the home predominating in our number of visits and
consuming a large percentage of our time.
Our clinic work included a monthly Pell-Child con-
ference, an annual Eye clinic for the school children and in
collaboration with the Barnstable Board of Health, Tox-
oid clinics! in the villages of•Cotuit, Osterville, Barnstable
and Hyannis.
Other available clinics to which we can refer patients
are. the Chest clinics held once a month at the Cape Cod
Hospital by the Barnstable County Sanatorium and the
Crippled Children's clinic held under the supervision of
the Massachusetts Department of Public Health.
Visits in the homes for pre-natal advice and for health
supervision to all age• groups have been continued to• the
extent of our available tame.
We welcome this opportunity to express our apprecia-
tion to all other health and welfare agencies in the town
for their co-operation and understanding.

REPORT OF PARK COMMISSIONERS
To the Selectmen of. the Town of Barnstable:
r entlemen:
The past year the care and upkeep of our parks has
been carried on, and, as in the past, as thoroughly as pos-
sible under the prevailing conditions.
The float at the Bulkhead was repaired. The Park at
the Bulkhead in Hyannis was fertilized, newly seeded,. and
new shrubbery planted to replace that destroyed in 1944:
More repair work is needed at this location and we hope
to plant more shrubs to further improve its appearance.
A capable and courteous Life Guard was on duty here
during the summer months.
The sea-wall at the Town Park at the foot, of Ocean
Street should be rebuilt. The road should be resurfaced"and
the one inside the sea-wall cleared of sand and debris. There
is a safe, sandy beach here and this Park has possibilities
as a recreation spot. Its further development is worthy of
serious consideration.
A new park has been laid out in Cotuit, which has
been named Memorial Park to honor those who served in
World War II. It•is located on the Main Street between
the Public Library and the Malchman Block. There is much
work to be done here•. The land has been cleared of the
sandy topsoil, locmed and seeded. Four park benches were.
placed and water has been installed.
Your Commissioners wish to thank the citizens of Cotuit
for their interest and cooperation in furthering its develop-
ment. More work is anticipated to improve the soil and plant
202
additional trees and shrubs. We are asking for a sufficient
appropriation to carry on this particular project.
We realize that many of our parks can be improved
and every effort will be expended toward that goal as rapid-
ly as possible. The park areas in the Town are increasing
and additional expenditures will soon become necessary.

Report of
SEWER COMMISSIONERS
To the Citizens of the Town of Barnstable:
The Sewer System as a whole has functioned in a very
satisfactory manner during the past year, with no inter-
ruptions in pumping.
The work done at the filter beds last February on the
Imhoff Tank has corrected the trouble there and the tank
has resumed its normal function.
Poles have been set from Route 28 to carry power to
the filter beds. A circulating system -with pump and motor
are to be installed to settle the solids that come to the sur-
face .of. the Imhoff Tank and reduce obnoxious odors.
81,601,000 gallons have been pumped this year, an in-
crease of about 5,000,000 gallons over last year and the
beds have taken care of this without any trouble.
Roots are beginning to creep into the main trunk lines
of the sewer and also into particular sewers and will have
to be taken care of
Seventeen new connections have been added to the
system this year.
Mr. Edward Wright, Sanitary Engineer, State Depart-
ment of Public Health, made an inspection of the plant and
sewer system and commented very highly on the operation
and maintenance of the system.

Report of
TOWN ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT
To the Board of Selectmen
I submit herewith the fifth annual report of the Town
Engineer.
During the past year the progress on our Assessors'
books has been rather slow but steady. We have, however,
been very busy on many other projects.
The Plates for the Village of Hyannis• have been re-
drawn to the scale necessary for the new books and a
large area to the north of Hyannis has been added.
The employment of additional help this year, to bring
the office strength to better than prewar, will undoubtedly
bring results.
We hope to have Barnstable .and a good portion of
West Barnstable in the books this year and expect to
reach into the Newtown area before the end of the year.
It has been suggested to this department, and it is be-
lieved to be an excellent project, that of providing a com-
plete map of the Inner Cove of Lewis Bay, for the use of.
the Harbor Master. There is considerable congestion due
to an unplanned mooring basin. Visiting boats must be
allowed to come and go without danger of inconvenience
and damage, if we may hope to encourage visitors from
the sea.
The project of an aerial photographic survey of the
Town has also been brought to the attention of this De-
partment.'Undoubtedly these aerial maps could be of very
205
great assistance to the Assessors as well as this depart-
ment in locating old boundary lines.and delineating proper-
ties damaged by erosion along our shores. Isolated build-
ings can be more easily spotted from these maps, and we
are sure that the Planning Board could use such a map to
the greatest advantage in the purposes of zoning.
It, is probable that the Town's investment in such a
Survey could be wiped out by making these maps avail-
able for purchase by anyone interested, such as Real Es-
tate operators and large property owners.
The duties of this Department are becoming more di-
versified each year. That is as an Engineering Department
should be and we welcome the opportunity to be of service
to any and all departments.
Respectfully submitted,
LESLIE F. ROGERoS,
Town Engineer.

Annual Report of the
PLAYGROUND AND RECREATION
COMMISSION
At the Annual Town Meeting, the sum of $12,800.00
«vas appropriated for a Recreation Program, in the Town
of Barnstable.
Recreation programs under this Commission are being
held in the following villages: Centerville; Cotuit, Hyan-
nis, Osterville and West Barnstable.
Indoor Centers and Programs
Centerville utilizes the basement of the Village School
where a program of _activities adaptable to the space is
offered. Games. of all description including ping-ping are
played here and dancing is also enjoyed. Residents of Cen-
terville also participate in the programs conducted at the
Osterville center.
The Cotuit program operates in Freedom Hall where'a
craft shop was constructed in the basement with the.
assistance of volunteers in the village, and where oil paint-
ing and decorating classes are conducted weekly. Dances,
ping-gong, and all other games except basketball, are en-
joyed by those attending, while the Osterville center gym
is reserved exclusively, one night a week, for Cotuit.resi-
dents.
The Hyannis Community Center, at the-corner of Main
and Pleasant Streets, was discontinued in June when our
out-of-door activities started. In October, quarters were
rented at 290 Main Street, Hyannis, on the second floor,
consisting of two rooms, one of which is the Arts and
207
Crafts shop and the other the office. A large number of
children attend activities here and.adults from every vil-
lage in the town participate in crafts which include the
following projects: metal craft, block printing, ceramics
or pottery, decorating, jewelry making, drawing and paint-
ing, leathercraft, wood carving, metal foil, and poster mak-
ing as well as lettering.
The Osterville Center which is the only building under
the jurisdiction of the Commission, affords the best cen-
ter program in the Town, well adapted and equipped for '
recreation. At a Special Town Meeting, the building was
turned over to the Commission and funds were appropri-
ated to renovate the structure inside• and out.- This build-
ing with its gymnasium, lounge room, gams .room, rifle
range, showers, and craft shop, offers a balanced, well
rounded program to the Community. Every craft earlier
mentioned in this report, with the exception ,of ceramics
and jewelry, is available to participants. Other activities
are: basketball, volley ball, gymnasium games, movies,
dances, cards, checkers, cribbage, dominoes, boxing, wrest-
ling, tournaments, rifle range, Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts.
The Osterville Moving Picture Committee conduct the mov-
ing pictures, which are shown every Friday evening during
the winter months.
Therefore, our program, indoors, offers a wide range
of activities including: Arts and Crafts, basketball, boxing,
dancing, volley.ball, dramatics, ping-pong, cards, checkers,
socials, Hallowe'en parties, Christmas parties, tournaments
and hobby shows.
outdoor Areas and Programs
The regular summer program of swimming and base-
ball was conducted by the Recreation Staff.
Two lifeguards are added to the Recreation Staff for
the Summer season which starts the latter part of June
208
and ends on Labor Day. Hathaway and Joshua ponds are
supervised, and daily instruction in swimming is given to
both beginners and advanced swimmers. Both of these areas
are under the direct jurisdiction of the Commission. "A
Learn To Swim Week" in co-operation with the American
Red Cross, was held the last week in August, at Hathaway
Pond and at the Loop in Cotuit. Plans are, under way to
repeat this program again. Mino*r crafts are oconducted at
each pond and are popular out-door activities.
The Baseball League is comprised of teams represent-
ing Cotuit, Hyannis, Osterville, West Hyannis, Barnstable
and West Barnstable. Cotuit won the pennant, which did a
great deal to stimulate an interest in baseball in that vil-
lage. Approximately fifty boys, who played in this league,
were guests of the Boston Red Sox, at a double-header at
Fenway Park.
A group of returned veterans organized as the Barn-
stable Baseball Association petitioned the Recreation Com-
mission for financial assistance in order to enter a team in
the Cape Cod League. The Commission adjusted its budget
to grant this petition and the team had an excellent record
in the League standing. One of the players was signed to
a professional contract by the Red Sox and two _more are,
at present, being considered by the same major league
team. These opportunities for professional baseball were
created as a, result of a baseball tryout, school conducted by
the Boston Red Sox, in Hyannis, at Barnstable High School
Field ,last August. We have been assured of a similar pro-
gram by the Sox for 1947. Consequently, our program out-
doors is comprised of the following: baseball, baseball
leagues, Town baseball team, Red Sox tryout baseball
school, horseshoes, minor crafts, picnics, swimming in-
struction and volley ball.
In the development of the program of the Commission
and in view of the growing demands'made upon it for ade-
quate recreational activities by young people, veterans and
209
adults, the Commission is. aware"of the. fact that a modern
Community Center is an urgent community need. For ex-
ample, in Hyannis, we operate a craft shop at 290 Main
Street, through the excellent co-operation of the American
Legion, basketball and volleyball leagues, dances at the
Woman's Club and dramatics at the Barnstable High
School.. These sites, with the exception of the craft shop
(which is rented) are available at little or no cost and are
operated only on a part-time basis. The Commission pur-
sues the policy of utilizing existing Town owned buildings
and athletic fields whenever possible in an attempt to sat-
isfy the Recreational needs of the community.
The Recreation Commission extends its sincere appre-
ciation to the School Department, and all other Town De-
partments, to the Barnstable Post No. 206, American Le-
gion, and to all Civic and Community Organizations for
their excellent co-operation with this Commission afford-
ing facilities beyond those made available to us by the
Town.

Report of
INSPECTOR OF ANIMALS,
To the Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable:
Gentlemen:
The following report covers the activities of my office
for the year of 1946.
There were two reactors to the tuberculin test within
the town during the year. These cows were duly disposed
of and the respective herds closely checked and disinfected.
The towns cattle were .ably tested for tuberculosis by
Dr. Daniel Leach. We will miss Dr. H. K. Copithorn who
administered,this service for.so many years.
With the increase of rabies in New England, it is very
gratifying that no cases have developed within the town.
All dog bites were carefully followed up and released
at the end of quarantine period without complications. I
urge that all dogs be inoculated against rabies.
The number of livestock within the town continued to
decrease, the cattle count was 363, a decrease of 33 over
last year. There were 82 horses and 118 swine.
With the improvement of the meat situation the beef
cattle and swine have taken a sharp drop.
Respectfully submitted,
ROBERT D. CHASE,
Animal Inspector.

Report of
WEST BARNSTABLE CEMETERY
COMMITTEE
January 20th, 1947
The annual Town Meeting in March 1946 continued
the Committee appointed the previous year to consider the
restoration and care of the ancient graveyard in the vest
Parish where are buried men of influence on the history
of New England and the Nation — Col. James Otis, Briga-
dier Joseph Otis, Major Micah Hamlin, Rev. Oakes Shaw,
father of Chief Justice Shaw, Capt. John Percival, and that
generous citizen of our town, Parker-Lombard.
None of the.men have descendents in the present gen-
eration to care for their graves.
The Committee submitted such a plan and commend-
able progress has been made. Some grading has been done,
wild growth and briers cleared up and inany trees planted
which in' a few years should give shelter and some seclu-
sion to what so long has been an exposed and barren situa-
tion.
The Committee has been in communication with Mr.
James White of Plymouth who has looked after the preser-
vation of the old stones on Burial Hill but so far he has
not found, it possible to inspect and estimate the cost of
similar protection for our oldest stones still decipherable,
which date back to 1719 and the years immediately after.
As only a few more lots can be made in the graveyard
and no-adjoining land is suitable for burial purposes, the
212
Town continued the Committee and charged them with the
responsibility of finding a location for a new graveyard.
The Committee has viewed several pieces of property,
considering carefully the suitability of the land and the
price at which it can be purchased.
On December 16tb, 1946 they went over the land bo-
longing to William Lof adjacent to Crocker Park on the
West Barnstable-Centerville Road.
It is now cluttered with trees brought down by the
hurricane, but, has some promising young growth. It is easy
of access and Mr. Maki and Mr. Leeman have done some
digging to assure the committee that the land is suitable .
for burials. It was therefore unanimously voted to reccom-
mend that the Town purchase for $555. this piece of land
and appropriate $500. to clear it up.

Report of the .
HYANNIS AIRPORT COMMISSION
AND MANAGER
REPORT OF THE HYANNIS AIRPORT COMMISSION
The Selectmen of Barnstable, under the provisions of
Chapter 613, Acts of 1946, were required to appoint, an air-
port commission, to have care, custody and management of
the Hyannis Airport; owned by the Town of Barnstable.
Accordingly the Selectmen in August appointed your pres-
ent Commission, consisting of three members. It has met
frequently since its formation, and herewith tenders its
first annual report, covering the period of 1946 during
which it served.
In the operation of the Airport, the Commission con-
tinued all of the existing contracts which had been entered
into by the Selectmen, and also continued the. employment
of Alton B. Sherman as manager.
Your Commission believes that Hyannis Airport is an
,enterprise of great importance not only to our Town .of
Barnstable but to all Cape Cod. The inauguration of regu-
lar airline service between Hyannis, Boston and New York,
has brought the Cape within easy and swift access of great
cities all over the country, a fact which will become in-
creasingly important as air travel builds up. The arrival
and departure of more than 10,000 passengers and 1,000 air-
planes in the first year of peacetime operation—less than a .
full calendar year—is an indication of what lies ahead.
Although the wartime use of Hyannis Airport by the
War and Navy Departments resulted in many substantial
214
improvements, it left many major problems needing solu-
tion in the future before our airport will be ready to serve
its maximum usefulness. Quite' inevitably sub_stantial ex-
penditures will be required for a long time to come. Prob-
lems immediately ahead include repair of the runways and
a new Taxi-way, for which the Commission is requesting a
sum of money to be placed in the Highway Department's
budget, and the work done by that department.
A second problem soon to, arise is the installation of
ground traffic control. The short "rave and regular wave
radio transmitters and receivers have already been pro-
vided by the, Navy, but as yet have not been installed. As
traffic increases, the time will come when ground traffic
control is essential, and trained personnel will be needed .
to operate it.
A major improvement in the. not too distant future
must be the removal of the administration building facili-
ties from their present location to a site near the Traffic
Circle. The C.A.A. authorities have already advised this,
and,in time may require it as a safety measure. When such
move is made construction`of a new building with all the
necessary facilities for future expansion and growth, will
undoubtedly be a worthwhile investment. Looking forward
to this need, the Commission is including a small sum in
its budget for a study of the situation.
We. hope that citizens of our town will continue to be
air minded, so that all may deal intelligently with air
transportation problems of the future.
Appended herewith is the report of Airport Manager
Sherman. ,

REPORT OF AIRPORT MANAGER
In February 1946, the Navy Department, Chief of
Naval Operations Washington, D. C., through its command
at Quonset Point, R. I,, opened the Hyannis Airport, which
had been for the past two and one-half years a Naval Air
Training Facility, to private and commercial flyers.
On March 27th, at the request of the Town of Barn-
stable, the Chief of Naval Operations issued an Interrim
Revokable Permit to the Town so that commercial opera-
tions could begin. The field continued under Navy control
but on a Caretaker Status for the protection of Navy prop-
erty still stored at the field. During the period from March
27th to July llth, the Navy property was removed and
the personnel stationed at the Airport were ordered to
other duties.
At the annual Town Meeting held in March a sum
of $20,000.00 was appropriated to operate and maintain
the Airport for the year 1946. The greater portion of this
appropriation has been used during the, balance of the year
to renovate the administration building, legalize the elec-
trical wiring of the hangars and buildings and to man
the Airport.
Early Spring found flight operations started at the
Airport by the Cape- Air Service, Inc., a local group of
Hers. This organization provides to the public student in-
struction, short sightseeing flights, charter plane service,
aircraft sales and aircraft mechanical repair.
Northeast Airlines on June 20th started the first cer-
tificated air-line service to Cape Cod using Douglas DC-3
air liners providing year-round mail, passenger and ex-
press service to all parts of the world. Their flights pro-
vide service from Boston to the Cape and Islands to New
York and return from New York over the same route.
2.].6-
Through the untiring efforts of the airport -manage-
ment, the Navy left for the use of the Airport, several
pieces of heavy roadable equipment including fire trucks,
mobile floodlights for field night lighting, grader, tractor
and mowing machines. The Navy has also provided, at no
cost to the town, expensive short wave and regular wave
tower radio air traffic control units .both transmitters and
receivers.
In 1946 the Massachusetts Legislature passed emer-
gency legislation relating to the acquisition, establishment,
maintenance, operation and regulations of airports by the
Commonwealth and the cities and towns thereof. Section
51-E of this act requires that any municipality owning an
airport establish an airport commission consisting of not
less than three. The Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable
appointed a three man commission for the custody, care
and management of the Hyannis Airport in August, 1946.
The following figures will give some idea of the ex-
tensive use and service the Airport has been to the Cape
during the eight months it has been in active commercial
operation:
From May 1, 1946 to December 31st, 'there have been
10,705 passengers'arrive and depart by air from the Hy-
annis Airport. This figure includes scheduled airline serv-
ice, charter aircraft and privately owned aircraft. Accord-
ing to the records, 1010 private, commercial and military
aircraft, single• and multi-engine, visited the field during
the year.

REPORT OF THE TOWN'S BY-LAWS
COMMITTEE
REPORT OF SELECTMEN AND TOWN COUNSEL
ON PROPOSED REVISION AND RECODIFICATION
OF TOWN'S BY-LAWS
To the Inhabitants of the Town of Barnstable:
In studying the matter of recodification and possible
-revision of the Town's by-la-tvs it became obvious that much
of the present confusion was the result of the failure over
a period of years to make provision for the adoption of a
system of codification and indexing whereby the various
ordinances.,could be consolidated under subject headings.
It is therefore recommended,that the first step in any pro-
posed revision be the adoption of subject indexing so that
all ordinances of the town dealing with one subject matter
can be set down under a single chapter heading. The chap-
ter could then be'divided into articles, sections and Para-
graphs numbered and lettered accordingly.
To accomplish this we have proposed that the town
authorize the selectmen, the town counsel and the town
clerk to edit, index and publish all of the town's by-laws
and ordinances under subject headings making provision
therein for the lettering and numbering of chapters, articles,
sections and paragraphs, and in so doing to disregard the
present subject headings and chapter, article, section and
paragraph numbering and lettering.
This committee is of the opinion that as the by-laws
-now stand there are many instances of lack of clarity in
wording, of inconsistencies, of duplication.and in some cases
of by-laws on some subjects where none should exist. We
218
believe that the various boards, committees, departments
and offices of the town, as well as the inhabitants, once they
are given in published form all of the by-laws relating to a
subject matter in which they are concerned, that they in
turn will be in: a position to intelligently consider and rec-
ommend for adoption such changes, alterations.and revis-
ions as may be required for a code.more suitable and fitting
for the town.
To accomplish this purpose, and if our first proposal
is adopted, we intend upon publication as authorized, to-
submit to the proper board, committee, department, officers
and to the town for their consideration, recommendation
and adoption, such changes, alterations and revisions as
may be required.

VETERANS KILLED IN THE SERVICE.
At the Town Meeting held March 5, 1946 the under-
signed committee was appointed to supervise the expendi-
ture of the sum of $1500.00, same to be used for the naming
of street intersections and squares after those in Barnstable
who.paid the supreme sacrifice in World War 2.
This committee has met several times and has obtained
quotations for suitable bronze tablets to be used as mark-
ers, together with appropriate landscaping. As a result of
this it was found that it will cost approximately $3500.00
to do the work in an appropriate manner.
This committee has caused an article to be placed in
this warrant asking for an increased sum of money and re-
questing that the committee be increased to consist of five
members.

Report of' the 1Sehool' Committee
To the Citizens of the Town of -Barnstable:
The School Committee submits herewith its. annual re-
port, together with the report of the Superintendent of
Schools, for the year ending ,December 31, 1946.
One of the matters that has required much t time and
thought on the part of your committee, during the past
year has been the question of teachers' salaries. The press
has given this matter a great deal of publicity, not only
locally, but, nationally. While teachers'. salaries in the
.Town of Barnstable have been higher than in many com-
munities, your committee is convinced that our scale of
salaries must be revised upwards..With. this in mind, we
are recommending in the 1947 budget estimates, an inereas;e
of $400 per year for each classroom teacher, as well as
substantial increases for other school employees: We can-
not escape the fact that our teachers, by the very nature
of their positions in our community, do require upward ad-
justments in their salaries, if they•are. to properly.main-
tain their professional standing in their chosen work,'and
keep abreast of. all new techniques and developments.
Along this same line of thought comes the considera-
tion of a salary schedule.' The schedule your committee is
recommending will be found in the Superintendent's report
which follows.,this report. This is in fact a single salary-
schedule, providing minimum starting .salaries for both
men and women,teachers regardless of the class they teach.
Automatic increases are,.provided each year except: that,
every fourth year a teacher would be required to show evi-
dence of professional improvement before any. further.in-
creases would be granted, such.evidence to be passed on by
a committee to be selected for this purpose, and of course
226
,subject further to the approval of the School Committee.
Teachers starting at the bottom of the schedule would:go.
from the minimum,to the maximum salary in:thirteen years
if all requirements are met.
The adoption of such a schedule offer's a new teacher,
as well as the present teachers, a definite goal that he' or
she can attain. On the other hand, it is necessary for the
school committee and the superintendent to insist on rigid
requirements for training and experiencb ,whenever it is
necessary ,to employ .new teachers.
If,the. proposed salary increase included in our 1947
budget is granted at the annual town meeting, teachers in
our employ at present would be fitted into this schedule
at whatever point their new salary rate• falls regardless
of years of experience. New teachers in the future would
either start at the minimum rate or at whatever point, in
the. schedule their previous experience would place them.
Your committee held several meetings with the Teach-
ers' Salary Committee.and the teachers are to be compli-
mented on the logical and dispassionate manner in which
this matter was considered and presented, and your ,school
committee'feels that the program recommended .should be
adopted and the proposed adjustments in salaries be made
effective as of January 1, 1947.
The matter of maintenance of our buildings and.equip-
ment has been another cause of concern to your commit-
tee in making up the budget for 1947 and this item too
will show a large increase. We,estimate the value of our
buildings and equipment at approximately $1,000,000. An
annual expenditure of 2% of this amount or $20,000.00
would certainly not be out of line,'yet during the war
years and even before that we spent less. Now that ma-
terials are coming back and labor becomes more, plentiful,
the accummulation of repairs together with the. normal
amount makes it necessary, for the committee to propose
227
for 1947 a figure of $21,315 for maintenance and repairs,
another substantial increase over the 1946 expenditure of
$14,608.17. It is with considerable concern that your com-
mittee views the very substantial increase in the estimates
for 1947 over the corresponding ones for 1946, but, we must
face the facts if we are to keep our schools in every
respect up to the point our children and parents have a.
right,to expect.
We have heard a great deal about additional help
from the State in financing our school costs, but untal legis-
lation is enacted and the revenue provided for the State to
distribute, the Town must bear the burden. Whether or
not such additional revenue will be available for 1947 there
is: no way of determing at present although the enactment
of legislation has been requested.
Your committee hopes to be able to present, in the
not too distant future, suggestions for a long-range
building program. To what extent the Town will be able
to adopt or carry out such a program-is indeed a grave
question. If our Town keeps on growing, and who does
not hope for that, more space will be needed in Hyannis
and Osterville. The Cotuit School must have a new heating
plant as soon as possible and a special article for this is
in the annual warrant. The present coal burning plant
is obsolete and inefficient and'should be replaced as soon
as it is possible with modern oil burning equipment.
The growth of the outlying sections of our Town is
constantly presenting problems in connections with the
transportation of our school children and the whole matter
will require study and possible readjustment of all the
routes.
These are all problems of a growing community and
the duty of all loyal citizens is to try to approach these
problems -with open minds and strive for logical, econom-
ical and unbiased solutions. We must plan for the future
228
with an eye on the events of the past combined with as
careful an estimate of future growth and development as
we can secure from all available information and latest
methods of construction and community planning. With
the fine co-operative spirit that exists in the entire per-
sonnel of our school department, and the interest and
help of many of our local organizations and townspeople,
we can look to the future with confidence.
During the year the committee held ten regular meet-
ings and twelve _special meetings. In addition, inspections
of the various buildings and their equipment have been
made• from time to time by the members of your com-
mittee. An itemized financial report is included at the end
of the Superintendent's report. The appropriation for 1946
was $2.56,000. In addition to this amount $2,892.59 was re-
ceived from other sources making a total of $258,892.59.
The sum of $258,891.12 was expended. The Town of Barn-
stable received as reimbursement from the State and other
sources the sum of $28,600.89 making the net cost for the
year to the Town $230,291.70.

Recognition of Faithful Service
WILLIAM G. CURRIER
We wish to pay tribute to Mr. William G. Currier who
served as Principal of the Hyannis Training School for
thirty-five years and who retired last June.
Mr. Currier has been a loyal and conscientious teacher,
principal and citizen. He was faithful in attendance and his
heart and soul were in the work he religiously performed.
He brought dignity to his profession that will be long re-
membered by the youth and teachers with whom he has
worked. As a retired schoolmaster, Mr. Currier continues
to enjoy life and to be the same industrious, painstaking
citizen — honorable and upright in all his dealings.
RUTH P. RIGBY
For fourteen years Miss Ruth P. Rigby served the
children and teachers of the Barnstable Schools as School
Nurse. Through all these years of service until her retire-
ment last June, Miss Rigby was. faithfulness itself — com-
pletely devoted to her chosen profession. Her soft, pleasant
voice and her gentle, sympathetic ways endeared her to the
boys and girls and won their confidence. She was intensely
interested in the teachers' classroom work in health and
her interest and encouragement were rewarded by their
sincere admiration and respect for her.
We hope Miss Rigby will enjoy her retirement as com-
pletely as she fulfilled her position here.

Report of the Superintendent of Schools
To the School Committee of Barnstable, Massachusetts
Gentlemen': '
It is again my privilege aiid pleasure as 'Superintendent
of the Barnstable,Public Schools to submit to you my eighth
annual report,'the fifty-seventh in such a series.'
Education in the,.Barnstable Schools has continued for
another year with the same,underlying principles of accept-
ing,the child where he.is, helping him to,make more effect-
ive adjustments to his environment and providing for the
fullest growth 'and development'of the child as'a person.
We are still of the belief that education should strive
to attain complete realization of the child's abilities at each
stage of his development. Then education will have best
prepared him to meet_ the problems which life will bring.
The school of today functions with a concern for the whole
child, — physical, ;mental,. emotional, — with the child's
interests,-tastes and habits of conduct, as well .as with his
powers ,to ,reason and remember. We ,are concerned with
his personality, with his social understanding and social
skills, as well as. with, his intellectual mastery of subjects.
We are not interested merely in, his mastery of subjects,
but more in what this,mastery does,to improve'his under-
standing of, and interest in himself and his .physical and
social.world. In,other words, we feel that t as the'child`reacts
to the experiences of learning. the three R's he should profit
by these experiences_.by improving his behaviour and estab-
lishing those patterns that make life possible and happier
for him. '
We realize that schools must be flexible to meet chang-
ing conditions' and that education is a continuous process,
231
consequently we are trying to maintain continuous investi-
gation, research and planning in our educational program
as we meet the needs of the children today and as we move
forward to equip the youth to face the world of tomorrow.
Summaries and Excerpts from the Report of the-
Elementary School Supervisor
"In a democracy it is well that the members'of a com-
munity be conversant with the objectives of their schools.
Further, that all citizens be aware of the efforts being made
to realize these objectives. No judgments as to the value of
a particular situation can be made without such information.
The Educational Policies Commission has defined the
four great objectives as:
1. self-realization,
2. human relationship,
3. economic efficiency, and
4. civic responsibility
The Barnstable elementary schools have accepted, with
necessary modification, these goals as their own:
1. to understand and practice desirable social rela-
tionships,
2. to discover and develop one's own desirable indi-
vidual aptitudes,
3. to cultivate the habit of critical thinking,
4. to appreciate and desire worthwhile activities,
5. to gain command of the common integrating
knowledges and skills, and
6. to develop a sound body and normal mental at-
titudes.
Our purpose is the acquisition of knowledges and skills ac-
companied by democratic habits, attitudes, and ideals. Our
concern is for the whole child.
232
In this report we desire to show briefly how in grades
one through six we attempt to implement these objects and
make, them real in the lives of our pupils.
1. To understand and practice desirable social relationships:
Each classroom offers an opportunity for day.by day
work toward this objective.
Where better can the sense of belonging be developed?
Where better call-we practice the art of adjusting ourselves
to other individuals and to a group? Where better can we
increase the child's concern for others?
Pupils help create group rules devised for the good
of all. They welcome newcomers. They remember birthdays
and holidays. They are interested in the joys and sorrows
of their classmates. They make friends by being loyal, gen-
erous, and good-natured. In all of which the teacher guides
and directs.
In our language arts program we stress the rules of
good conversation and the advantages of cultivating the
listening habit. The art of letter-writing is stimulated.
Politeness is admired.
In the handling of social studies we emphasize how
people live not only in various parts of our own land but in
different parts of the world.
On the playground as in the classroom democratic con-
cepts are emphasized. The majority rules in the choice of
games. Good sportsmanship is praised. The need for follow-
ers as well as leaders is made evident.
2. To discover and develop his own individual aptitudes:
This is an important .responsibility on the elementary
level. And, of great aid in its implementation is our careful
program of evaluation which gives us a relatively good
picture of each child.
233
Knowing the child,— aware of his strengths and weak-
nesses — our teachers stimulate the.,child's desire to, know
and to become. In each phase of his growth -the pupil is
urged_to'set up,reasonable personal goals., These goals must
be in keeping with his abilities.
Leisure time activities are.not..neglected. The..child is
given guidance in self-expression. Opportunities are creat-
ed for the discovery•and'development of special talents.
3. To cultivate the habit of critical.thinking
A background for the,development of the habit of criti-
cal thinking ,ean be built in,the primary grades. Our teach-
ers insist•on good work-habits tidiness in all.work, com-
pletion of one task at a time: and.-due care of all school
materials.
Order is basic to productive thinking and these habits
cultivated in the first three grades are a definite help when
facing a problem situation'on the intermediate level. There
our teachers, particularly in the social studies, strive for
a. the recognition of problem areas,
b. the knowledge of sources from which evidence
may be collected,
c. the practice of drawing conclusions in the light
of .democratic ideas and ideals, and
d. the habit of pausing before making decisions.
4. To appreciate and desire worthwhile 'activities:
It has,been said that "we. live by,admiration."•In the
classroom the truth is obvious. The teacher's genuine appre-
ciation of and participation in worthwhile activities is
catching. The enjoyment of music art reading, games, in-
vestigation, and travel is most adequately taught when the
teacher approaches these with enthusiasm and. inspiration.
234
5. To gain command of the common integrating knowledges
and skills:
The knowledges and skills needed to meet the daily de-
mands of life are and always have been a basic concern. In
recent years, however, the elementary school has admitted
two things:
a. that only practical knowledges and skills should
be taught and those at a pace in,harmony with
the growth .of the child, and
b. that mastery of such knowledges ,and skills,
though essential, is only one of the objectives of
a modern program.
The Barnstable teachers work conscientiously that. the
boys and girls in their charge may:
A. read with ease,_speed, and comprehension;
b. spell with accuracy the normal vocabulary;
c. write and speak with.freedom from gross errors;
and
d. perform accurately the four fundamental opera-
tions,in arithmetic, and know when to use them.
If the above knowledges and skills are mastered and
that mastery is backed by understanding, our pupils are
ready to cope with daily living in more intelligent fashion.
6. To develop a sound body and normal mental attitudes:
Success and happiness in adult life are dependent upon
two things: a healthy body and normal mental attitudes.
In the first place, our philosophy which takes responsi-
bility.for the growth of the whole'ehild demands a complete
physical examination. The American Medical Association
lists three circumstances as ,particularly desirable if the
examination is to be valuable:
a. sufficient time for the physician to make a reason-
ably thorough health appraisal of the pupil;
235
b. sufficient privacy to permit the disrobing neces-
sary for an adequate examination; and
c. the presence of parents at the examination of
pupils too young to assume responsibility for
their own health care.
In our evolving program of physicals, these three cir-
cumstances are being met.
Equal in importance to physical health is mental
health; habits and attitudes indicating emotional stability,
self-control, and friendliness or sociability. These are our
constant concern.
The task ,of the teacher in the modern elementary
schoolroom is tremendous. She must stimulate, direct, and
guide the young people entrusted to her care with due at-
tention to all areas of growth: physical, mental, emotional,
social, and ethical. Upon her success or lack of it, the
future progress of our nation is dependent.
Report of the Rinehart Functional Handwriting System
I am pleased to submit the following report on the
Handwriting program in your schools for the period from
its beginning in September 1945 to December 1946.
In the -initial Handwriting tests administered in the
Hyannis schools in September 1945, 18.7% of the pupils
made a score. of "A" (Excellent) ; 25.9% made "B"
(Good) ; 55.4% were graded less than "B". In the tests of
December 1946, 67.3% of the pupils scored "A" (Excel-
lent) ;.23.70/o of the pupils scored "B" (Good) ; and 9%
were graded less than "B".
During the period covered by this report, approxi-
mately 11,700 formal Handwriting test papers were graded
236
and diagnosed, and 35,000 informal papers were graded
for your pupils.
We furnished the following materials for your teach-
ers and pupils—teacher monthly outlines, pupil folder out-
lines, room motivation certificates, monthly and term en-
velopes, handedness tests, seals, etc.
My supervisors join with me in expressing our appre-
ciation of the splendid co-operation we have received from
you and your teachers at all times. We are very pleased
with the results so far obtained in your schools.
Summaries ;and Excerpts from the Report of the
High School Principal
THE CURRICULUM
All modern schools must be constantly on the alert for
methods of improving the curriculum. The changes made
were the result of a careful study by a faculty committee.
-In grades seven and eight, science has been increased
from four periods a week to five, and guidance classes
now meet once a week instead of twice. Boys' physical
education classes have returned to their pre-war schedule
of two periods a week in the senior high school. The war-
time course in aeronautics has been eliminated and a class
in second year Spanish has been organized. Pupils in the
general and business courses in grades 9 and 10 have been
given an opportunity to take home economics and practi-
cal arts. Because of the small number of' girls interested,
the vocational household arts course in grade 9 was dis-
continued this year, and in grade Il consumer buying was
dropped for the same reason. The following table shows
the courses given in grades 9, 10, 11 and 12 and the num-
ber of pupils enrolled in each course in September:
237
Grade
Course 9 10 11 12
College 51 29 30 23
General 46 42 29 26

During the past year, the English teachers have• held
frequent meetings to examine the work of the English de-
partment in an effort to bring about improvements where
needed. Plans have been made for a similar activity on the
part of ,the mathematics teachers.
Several important changes have been made in the music
department. Beginning in September, all pupils were given
an opportunity to have instrumental music •lessons. This
instruction is now being given to sixty pupils every Sabir-
day morning by senior students under the supervision of
Mr. Wiggins In the eighth grade, pupils are being taught
to recognize all types of musical instruments both by sound
and by sight, musical entertainment programs •have been
carried on by the pupils and considerable attention has been
given to a study of the technical terms of music.
COLLEGE PREPARATION
Barnstable High School is rated a Class A school by the
state department of education and has the certificate privil-
ege of the New England College Admissions Board. Grad-
uates who have maintained a grade of A or B in each subject
in the college course may enter college without any further
preparation. No graduate is recommended for college unless
his work is up to this standard. Our graduates have con-
tinued to make excellent records in colleges.
238
Most colleges now require work in the following fields:
English, social science, natural science, foreign language
and mathematics. Many colleges require specified amounts
of subjects, as four years of English, one year of algebra,
one year of plane geometry, two years of foreign language,
one year of algebra, one year of plane geometry, two years
of foreign language, one year of science and one year of his-
tory. Only a very few colleges now require Latin and some
• colleges do not require any foreign language. An early
choice of a college is advisable so that a pupil may include'
the necessary subjects in his high school course._ In addi-
tion to the scholastic record, all colleges are interested in
the applicant's personal qualities, such as reliability, initia-
tive, health, and ability to get along with people.
GUIDANCE
Progressive schools throughout the country have been
placing increased emphasis on guidance. In line with this
movement Barnstable High School has expanded its. guid-
ance program.
The work in the seventh grade consists chiefly of orient-
ing pupils to the large high school which is quite different
from our small elementary schools. Topics discussed in this
grade include those which will help pupils to adjust as easily
as possible to the high school. Such topics include School
Geography, Corridors, Lunchroom, Library, Rules and Reg-
ulations of the School, Extracurricular Activities, School
Subjects, Value of School Subjects, Cost of Schools, and the
relation of Barnstable High School to the elementary schools
of the town.
The work of the eighth grade consists largely of a pro-
gram whereby pupils are led to evaluate their abilities and
interests as an aid to wisely selecting a course of study in
the ninth grade. This self-evaluation is achieved largely
through a testing program. Pupils are also instructed in
the courses offered in the ninth grade by class discussions,
239
talks by various teachers in different departments, and also
by actual visits to various shops such as the machine and
boatbuilding shops.
In addition to seventh and eighth grade guidance, a .
course called Personal Problems is offered in the senior year
of the high school. One of its main purposes is to aid pupils
to understand why they act as they do, and as a result of
this study improve their personalities.
To function efficiently a guidance program must make
use of standardized tests. In the seventh grade all pupils
have taken an intelligence test and a battery of achievement
tests; in the eighth grade a test of primary mental abilities,
a mechanical aptitude test, and an interest test have been
administered; and in grades 9-12 pupils have taken a series
of achievement tests. Eleventh grade students have also
taken a test revealing linguistic and quantitative aptitude,
and twelfth grade students have taken an intelligence and
interest test.
In addition to the basic testing program, tests have
been used with individual pupils. These tests include meas-
ures of clerical aptitude, adjustment inventories, and per-
sonality tests. A stenographic aptitude test has also been
administered to all pupils in the Business Course before they
undertake the study of shorthand. .
The office of the Director of Guidance has been open
to all pupils of the school. Numerous conferences have
been held with pupils concerning a great variety of sub-
jects including choice of an institution of higher learning,
selection of a course of study or a particular subject, im-
provement of a pupil's school work, home adjustment, con-
duct outside of school, interpretation of tests, and discus-
sions of personality adjustments_.
These interviews have not been limited to students of
our school as the guidance department has also counselled
with numerous veterans from various sections of the Cape
particularly with regard to further education.
240
VETERANS
Seventeen veterans enrolled in Barnstable High School
during 1946. Three of these veterans completed the require-
ments for a diploma and graduated in June. At the close
of the year there were twelve veterans enrolled as regular
students and two.as special students. In addition there are
many veterans enrolled in the regional high school courses
for which credit will be given towards a Barnstable High
School diploma.
SCHOOL ACTIVITIES
During the year considerable progress was made in get-
ting school activities back to normal from their wartime
curtailment. The athletic program has been carried on in
a satisfactory manner, and attendance at games has been
unusually good. Dances were successfully conducted at fre-
quent intervals during the year by the sophomore, junior
and senior classes and by other school organizations. In
May, the senior class presented a very successful perform-
ance of the play, ``Spring Green." Thirty pupils partici-
pated in the New England Music Festival at New Britain,
Connecticut. At the state festival in Needham and at the
Now England Competitive Festival at Gloucester our bari-
tone horn player received awards and very high ratings
for his outstanding ability: In April, a concert was given
by the orchestra, band and glee clubs. The band received
many favorable comments for its excellent work during the
football season. Rehearsals are now being held for the pre-
sentation of the Gilbert and Sullivan operetta "H. M. S.
Pinafore," in March.
Summaries and Excerpts from the Report of the
Director of Vocational Education
State aided vocational education began in the Barnsta-
ble school system with the opening of a Household Arts de-
partment in 1933 and an Agricultural department in 1934.
241
In 1938 a step was made toward providing trade train-
ing for some of our boys by opening a Boat Building and
Operation course. This training was carried on until 1943
in the shops of two. Osterville firms. When it was no longer
possible to continue there, a boat shop was constructed at
the high school. This project has enabled us to give .excel-
lent instruction in small boat construction. Last year the
carpentry boys built an addition to the boat shop in order
to provide room for a steam box so necessary in larger craft
construction. With the return of materials to the market,
we look forward to the construction of sail and motorboats.
The State Department of Education has long been inter-
ested in locating a State Aided Vocational School on Cape
Cod. They have reciprocated the efforts of our own School
Department by contributing to the establishment of the
Barnstable Trade School. We have a well-equipped machine
shop because the Department of Education saw fit to estab-
lish a War Production Training Center here for machine
operation in 1943. In this shop, equipped almost wholly
with federally supplied machines and tools, we started a
vocational machine shop department in September 1943.
It has seemed evident for a long time that further en-
largement of the Trade School should logically come by
introducing courses- in the various building trades. But
without the necessary housing facilities the only move that
.could be made was to place our woodworking on a voca-
tional basis; so in September 1946, we -%vere approved for -
a vocational carpentry course. The real aim is to do actual
construction by arrangement with individuals of the com-
munity. Only in this way can our pupils really learn the
trade while going to school.
Vocational education, as set up by the Massachusetts
Department of Education, requires that one-half of each
school day be spent in actual trade training; the other half
divided between such general subjects as English,. history
and science and the subjects related to the trade. This type
242
of education is not preparation for college, it is preparation
for life for those•boys whose interests and capabilities lie
along mechanical lines. Enough background subject'matter
is offered to produce intelligent and responsible citizens
regardless of the particular economic niche they will fill in
the community.•
The-Department of Education is interested in provid-
ing the greatest amount of vocational education possible for
the citizens of Cape Cod. Therefore, they consider the Barn-
stable Trade School as an area school. This is all to our
advantage. There are boys in the Barnstable High School
interested in learning other trades than we are now offer-
ing; but as there is a limit to the number interested in either
agriculture or one of these trades, classes of sufficient size
could not be maintained for Barnstable alone. So we gladly
welcome and encourage attendance by boys from all the
other towns of the Cape which have no such scliool facil-
ities.. These pupils are_in no way an expense to the town
because a tuition rate is paid Barnstable by the home town.
This is according to State law.
There .is demand for an automobile mechanics course
as well as one in plumbing and electricity. A trade school
building is needed as soon as it can be provided.
Two of the three trade courses already offered cannot
be expanded in their present location. In boat building a
boat is set up and remains on the spot until completed. Our
one class now utilizes all the available floor space in this
way. We should have two classes in boat building but can-
not accommodate the second class until we have more space.
Headquarters for the carpentry course is our regular
woodworking shop. This has to be shared with the regu-
lar Junior High Practical Arts courses. Time can be allotted
for only one carpentry division. The demand is almost sure
to increase to the point where two classes are required to
handle the situation. Another larger shop is required for
this.
243
The trend in all education is to serve adults as well as
youth. This is particularly true in the field of vocational
education. We have operated evening classes in machine
shop from the beginning. Late in 1946 a course in theory
was established, at the request of the Master Plumber's
Association of the Cape. This class meets two evenings a
week with an enrollment of 29 representing six towns.
There are other problems which the aftermath of war
has placed upon the Trade School. We are the field agent
for the whole of Cape Cod for the approval of firms as places
of training for veterans who wish to receive subsistence
payments from the government while learning a business.
Through the early part of the year, there was heavy demand
for this service, but it has tapered off during the Summer
until now we get, on an average, one call a week. During
the year 162 firms were visited and 130 training programs
inaugurated offering training to 155 veterans.
All veterans serving a formal apprenticeship at a-trade,
are required to spend about 150 hours per year in classroom
study related to their trade. By mutual agreement between
the Massachusetts Division of Apprentice Training and the
Vocational Division of the, State Department of Education,
this instruction is given in the vocational schools of the
State. In November we opened an evening program of two
nights a week to automobile mechanics, carpenters, electri-
cians; and plumbers. Sixty-eight veterans from nine towns
of the Cape are enrolled in these classes. This program will
probably continue for several years. -
Regional High School
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts has set up at
many points throughout the state, Regional Veterans Edu-
cation Centers. On November 25th, we opened such a center
at the Barnstable High School with classes scheduled for
244
two evenings per week. The object of these educational
programs is to allow veterans to complete an interrupted
high school education, to prepare further for college, or to
study any subject of particular interest.
Our school started with an'enrollment of 27, and had
increased to 40 by'the end of December. The work is carried
on through the use of correspondence course outlines pro-
vided by the Division of University Extension of the State
Department of Education. A veteran is allowed to take
two subjects at one time. He proceeds at his own rate
through outside study and is helped individually by the
instructor.
We have a faculty of four giving help in all high school
grades of English, in mathematics, United States history,
science, languages and'business subjects.
As soon as a veteran finishes one course he may take on
another. We serve the central Cape area and veterans may
enroll in this program at any time.
Proposed Single Salary Schedule
Teaching has long been called'a profession. It is time
to make it a profession in fact. The reason for the present
shortage of teachers is primarily economic. Teachers are
not well enough paid. In order to relieve this situation we
must develop a new concept of teachers' worth in terms of
pay. With this idea in mind the following single salary .
schedule is proposed for the classroom teachers of the Town
of Barnstable.
245
Class A Class Class C
Experience, with Masters with Bachelors Without
Degree Degree Degree
First year 2100 2000 1900
Second year 2200 2100 2000
Third "year 2300 2200 2100
Fourth year 2400 2300 ' 2200
Fifth year. . 2500 2400 2300
Sixth year 2600 .. .2300 . 2400
Seventh year. 2700. 2600 2500
Eighth year 2800 2700 .2600
Ninth year 2900 2800 2700
Tenth year 3000 2900 2800
Eleventh year 3100 3000 2900
Twelfth year 3200 3100 3000
Thirteenth year 3300 3200 3100
The above proposed salary schedule should enable us:
1. To secure the best teachers available in the light of prep-
aration and experience.
2. To encourage and recognize ,continued professional
advancement among teachers already in the system.
3. To retain competent teachers.
4. To provide an appropriate living wage to meet the
demands of the•profession.
Conclusion
The Barnstable Schools have continued to function
efficiently due to the fine spirit of the staff and the interest
and support of the community. To all these individuals and
groups- and to you, the members of the Barnstable School
Committee, I express.my sincere appreciation.
Respectfully submitted,
MELVIN C. KNIGHT,

REPORT OF THE SELECTMEN
FELLOW CITIZENS:
The year 1947 has passed and we trust you will find
this book of interest and as you study its pages that you
will derive considerable satisfaction from the records of
your public servants, the Town officials.
The duties of the Selectmen of this town are so num-
erous and variable, it would be impossible to narrate and
comment much on them in a book of this limited size.
On other pages you will find a faithful account of how
the selectmen and all.other town officers spent your tag
money in 1947.
Barnstable has always, for more than 300 years, had
an unusually excellent record of fine quality and sound
judgment of its citizens while acting on public affairs in
town meeting, and in choosing officials of character and
ability to administer them.
We have just had a demonstration that Barnstable
citizens take great interest in their public duties by the un-
usually large number of voters who went to the polls to
vote in a special primary election for State Senator.
A great man in Washington who stands high in national
and international affairs at this time,. recently uttered
words to this effect, "A people• who become spectators in
life will not long retain their freedom and liberty."
8
After serving you as Selectmen for nearly 20 years
I have become convinced that the great majority of Barn-
stable's citizens never have been and never will become
mere spectators in life, but that each will play his part,
however, humble, and thereby pass on to posterity that
priceless heritage, personal freedom and liberty.
Yours truly,
CHESTER A. CR'OCKER, Chairman.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT
April 23, 1947
To the Board of Selectmen
Mr. Chester A. Crocker, Chairman
Barnstable, Massachusetts
Gentlemen: `
I submit herewith my report of an audit of the general
accounts of the town of Barnstable for the period from
January 1, 1946, and of the town's collector's accounts
from May 19, 1946, to March 10, 1947, made in accordance
with the provisions of Chapter 44, General Laws. This is
in the form of a report made to me by Mr. Herman B.
Dine, Assistant Director of Accounts.
Very truly yours,
FRANCIS X. LANG
Director of Accounts.
Mr. Francis X. Lang
Director of Accounts
Department of Corporations and Taxation
State House, Boston
Sir:
In accordance with your instructions; I have made an
audit of the general accounts of the town of Barnstable
for the period from January 1, 1946, and of the town col-
lector's accounts from May 19, 1946, the dates of the pre-
vious examinations, to March 10, 1947, the following re-
port being submitted thereon:
64
The books and accounts kept by the accounting officer
were examined, checked, and compared with the records of
the several departments in which money is collected or bills
are committed for collection and -vvith the records of the
town treasurer.
The general and appropriation accounts in the ledger
were analyzed, the appropriations and transfers being com-
pared with the town clerk's record of financial votes passed
in town meetings and with the finance committee's records
of transfers from the reserve fund. A trial balance was
taken off proving the accounts to be in balance, and a bal-
ance sheet, showing the financial condition of the town on
December 31, 1946, was prepared and is appended to this
report. This balance sheet shows that the town is in very
good financial condition.
The books and accounts of the town treasurer were
examined and checked in detail. The cash book was footed,
the recorded receipts were analyzed and compared with
the departmental records of payments to the treasurer and
with other sources from which money was paid into the
to\vn treasury, while the records of disbursements were com-
pared with the accounting officer's books and with the
treasury warrants.
The treasurer's cash balance on March 10, 1947 was
proved by reconciliation of the bank balances with state-
ments furnished by the banks of deposit.
The recorded payments on account of maturing debt
and interest were verified by comparison with the amounts
falling clue and checked with the cancelled securities on file.
The savings bank books and securities representing the
investments of the trust and investment funds in the cus-
tody of the town treasurer were examined and listed, the
income being proved and the disbursements being verified.
65
The records of tax titles held by the town were ex-
amined and checked in detail. The town and fire district
taxes transferred to the tax title account were checked to
the collector's records and the redemptions and disclaimers
were verified.'The tax titles on hand were listed, reconciled
with the accounting officer's ledger, and compared with the
records in the Registry of Deeds.
The books and accounts of the town collector were
examined and checked. The town and fire district taxes,
assessments, and departmental accounts recommitted at the
time of the previous examination and all subsequent com-
mitments were audited and proved, the payments to the
town and district treasurers were verified, the abatements
were checked to the records in the departments authorized
to grant abatements, and the outstanding accounts were
listed and proved with the accounting officer's ledger.
The total amounts outstanding on each of the levies of
town and fire district taxes were given to the board of
assessors, the total amounts of outstanding sewer rentals
and departmental accounts receivable were given to the
departments concerned for use in preparing the recommit-
ments, and detailed lists of all the outstanding accounts
were prepared for the new collector.
Verification of the correctness of the outstanding ac-
counts was made by mailing notices to a number of per-
sons whose names appeared on the books as owing money
to the town and the fire districts, and from the replies re-
ceived it would appear that the accounts, as•listed, are
correct.
The town clerk's records of dog, sporting, and miscel-
laneous town licenses issued were examined, the payments
to the State being verified by comparison with the receipts
on file and the payments to the town treasurer being com-
pared with the treasurer's cash book.
66
The financial records of the selectmen, the sealer of
weights and measures, and of the police, health, and school
departments, as well as of all other departments collecting
money for the town, were examined and checked with the
treasurer's cash receipts and with the records of the ac-
counting officer.
The surety bonds of the financial officials bonded for
the faithful performance of their duties were examined and
found to be in proper form.
Appended to this report, in addition to the balaiice
sheet, are tables showing a reconciliation of the treasurer's
and the collector's cash, summaries of the town and fire
district taxes and assessments, tax titles, and departmental
account, together with tables shoeing the condition and
transactions of the trust and investment funds. .
While engaged in making the audit, cooperation was
received from the officials of the town, for which, on behalf
of my asistants and for myself, I wish to express apprecia-
tion.
Respectfully submitted,
HERMAN B. DINE,
Assistant Director of Accounts.

Report of
THE SURVEYOR OF HIGHWAYS
It is with pleasure that I submit the following report
for the year 1947:
During the past year we have completed _several very
important projects, namely: South County Road or Old
Route 28 has been finished and we now have a widened and
improved road from Hyannis to Marstons Mills.; a part of
Newton-Sandwich Road has been resurfaced; Gosnold
Street in Hyannis has been resurfaced and widened; the
Hyannisport to Craigville Beach Road has been resurfaced
and widened; and a section of Sea View Avenue in Wianno
has received the same treatment.
The usual amount of sealcoating has been done in each
of the several villages. For* sealing, mixed in place and
other types of'road'work we applied about 225,000 gallons
of road oils.
Mixed in place treatment has been done on many sec-
tions of road the past year. Among.these are Mill Road in
Osterville, Bumps River Road in Centerville, Five Corners
Road Route 28 to Bumps River.Road, East Main Street in
Hyannis and Commerce Road in Barnstable. We hope
funds will be supplied to continue this work in 1948.
Tower Hill Road in Osterville has been relocated, re-
built and is completed for about 2,000 feet.
Swift Avenue in Osterville is under construction but
work was stopped by bad weather and frozen ground.
The work on Center Street in Hyannis, has been started
and will be completed before June first.
In regard to sidewalks, there is a continual demand for
sidewalks and curbing in all parts of the Town. The 1947
179
appropriation of $5,000 was divided as equally as possible
among the villages but there is still much to be done along
this line.
Under Chapter 90 Construction a start has been made
on the widening of Route 132 and we expect to have about
one and one half miles completed before next season.
For the past several years we have asked for more
drainage for the west end of Main Street in Hyannis. The
old drain on High School Road is much too small for the
area it has to drain and we wish to install an 18 inch pipe
from Main Street via Pine Street to Snow's Creek. We
hope that in the near future funds will be-made available
for this project.
The Main Street in Hyannis is in terrible condition and
needs resurfacing or rebuilding the entire length of the
street. We are asking for an appropriation to resurface
such sections as all sewer connections have been installed.
The past year has been a most unusual one in regards
,to snow removal. While we have not had very much snow,
the slippery, icy condition has been very bad. We have
always had more than sufficient sand and salt to last
+1__,...__...1., +1,,. +,.,, D ;' - 1Q47 iigad fifty percent
more salt and sand than ever before. We have been unable
to purchase more salt and the sand pits have frozen solid.
We have tried to give the best service possible under these
handicaps.
The buildings and equipment for the Highway Depart-
ment are in good condition.
We have purchased two new trucks during the year.
It will be necessary to buy a new Bulldozer soon, as the old
one is about twelve years old and is too light for the type
of work we are now doing.
I wish to thank again the officials and committees of
180
the Town and also the citizens for their cooperation and
assistance.

REPORT OF ROAD COMMITTEE
The Road Committee met on Tuesday, January 27, 1948
and gave consideration to various articles to be inserted in
the Town warrant and acted upon at the Annual Town
Meeting in March. All of these articles have their merit
and should be given attention.
The budget, which is more or less routine, is a neces-
sary overhead that must be met, in order to maintain the
high standard of efficiency enjoyed by the Town of Barn-
stable.

Report of
THE INSPECTOR OF WIRES
To the Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable:
Gentlemen: i
I am pleased to submit my annual report for the year
ending December 31, 1947.
This has been a very busy year due to an increase in
new building construction, alterations, and additional in-
stallations such as electric ranges, water heaters, and oil
burners.
The Massachusetts Department of Public Safety has
issued new requirements for the wiring of oil burners which
are now being enforced by this department.
One fire of questionable origin was investigated and
found not to have started from electrical wiring. No other
reports of electrical fires have been received.
For the year ending December 31, 1947:
Electrical inspectians 1416
Service permits to the Cape and
Vineyard Electric Co. 527
Miles traveled 12,466

Report of
TREE WARDEN DEPARTMENT
To the Citizens of the Town of Barnstable.
The exceptionally large number of severe wind storms
during the past year have caused a great deal of damage
to the large shade trees throughout the Town.
This department has found it practically impossible
to get all these shade trees into condition at. one time, be-
cause of the frequency of these storms. Our full resources
have been used to remove the broken, dead and hanging
branches from. the damaged trees. Many of these trees are
in need of bracing and repair work which is being carried
out. The damage, however, caused by these storms was more
work than anticipated.
The usual spring pruning over the streets and side-
walks was undertaken by a crew of men and the necessary
-work was completed.
During the year it has been necessary to remove well
ove'r a hundred road-side trees -of all sizes and varieties.This condition will probably continue for several years as
a result of the after-effects of the hurricane. Many of the
trees removed were native Pine whose removal was neces-
sary because they proved dangerous to pedestrians and
automobiles.
The young trees bordering the highways throughout
the Town have been pruned and fertilized and where neces-
sary these trees were braced to help their growth. Some
additional trees were set out in Cotuit. These trees were
very good specimen a'nd they were given good care and the
department feels that they will develop into healthy shade
trees. All of the dead•trees in the young plantings through-
187
cut. the Town were removed and replaced by new trccs.
It has been possible to plant trees only in very limited areas.
This work is impossible over extended areas due to the high
cost of the trees. It is the hope of this department in the
near future to plant extensive replacements and to put in
new planting in the various villages.
This department is pleased to report a decided improve-
ment in the Tent Caterpillar situation during the past year.
D.D.T. was applied with a hydraulic sprayer and where
the insecticide was put on early in the season results were
very satisfactory. This department is continuing its policy
of eliminating the wild cherry from the roadside where
ever possible.
There was a noticeable increase in the Elm Beetle in-
festations in the large shade trees in some of the villages in
the Town. This was due, in a large part, to poor weather
conditions which made it impossible to dust these trees with
a helicopter at the proper time. When the weather per-
initted, these trees were gone over with the new mist blower
to kill the insect and therefore prevent them from laying
their eggs for the following year. I feel sure with the
experience gained and with the new equipment available
that this insect will be well under control.
The Dutch Elm Disease continues to be found in ever
increasing numbers in various Towns within fifty miles.
This department at the present time has hopes of stopping
the spread of this insect with the aid of D.D.T. in the control
of other insects. During the course of the regular spraying
of the trees the D.D.T. kills the Bark Beetle which carries
the Dutch Elm Disease. The outstanding feature of D.D.T.
is that it'is effective from six to twelve weeks after appli-
cation.

Report .of
MOTH DEPARTMENT
To the Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable:
In submitting my report for 1947, 1 am pleased to report
that the gypsy 'moth situation in the various villages
throughout the Town continues under control. iPhe two
largest infestations in widely separated areas have continues
to show a slight increase. The infestation in the shade trees
along the highways throughout the Town shows improve-
ment over the preceding year. The land adjacent to the road-
side in the Town was thoroughly scouted before the control
seasons started. This eliminated the spraying of large areas
where the gypsy moth was found to be scarce or non-
existent.
The necessary number of men were available this past
winter to accomplish, a good creosoting job of the shade
trees throughout the Town to exterminate the gypsy moth
egg clusters.
The spraying was started in the middle of May and
continued to the end of July. This department had engaged
the services of a helicopter to do a large amount of the insect
control work on, the large shade trees. Due to the weather
conditions existing at this time it was impossible for the
helicopter to do this work. This made it necessary to hire
mist blowers from private contractors. With the mist blow-
ers from private contractors and two blowers loaned from
the State Department it was possible to apply the insecticide
in a.very short time. This type of control proved very satis-
factory and it is hoped that this type of control will be car-
ried on here in Barnstable in the near future.
189
This department is desirous of purchasing a new blower
type machine at the earliest possible date as we are con-
vinced that it will be a big asset in all types of insect control
within the Town.. One of these machines is capable of doing
the work of three or four hydraulic machines -with a great
saving in labor and materials. We have several hundred
acres of heavily infested woodland area which will be
sprayed by airplane during the coming season. This type
-of control has proved very economical for large woodland
areas.
The'land adjacent to Sandy Neck area was scouted by
a crew of men and all Browntail Moth webs found were
cut and destroyed. The entire Sandy Neck area was dusted
by airplane under supervision of the Department of Con-
servation. We feel confident the the result of this com-
bined work will show a great improvement in the Browntail
Moth situation in the entire Town.
A crew of men were assigned to the Fall Web Moth con-
trol during the latter part of the season. Both hydraulic
machines and the new mist blowers using D.D.T. were
brought into operation in this work and the results proved
very satisfactory. We feel sure that if the new insecticides
come up to expectations we will soon have the Fall Web
Moth under control.
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN F. SHIELDS,
Moth Department.

Report of
THE FOREST FIRE WARDEN
To the Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable
Gentlemen
I herewith submit my twelfth annual report for the
year ending December 31, 1947.
This Department answered calls to 44 brush fires, and
34 grass fires making a total of 78. fires from the following
causes:
Smokers 17
Unattended fires 13
Children 13
Incinerators 12
Railroad 8
Hot Ashes 2
Campers ' 1
Cutting torch 1
Incendiary 1
Carbon '2
Dump 3
Out of Town 4
Unknown 1
78
The Patrol extinguished 35 of the fires and assisted at
most of the others. There were 2732 fire permits issued in
the Town this year and the Patrol checked as many of these
as possible, finding many of the fires improperly taken care
of, some of which Gould have, caused serious fires.if not
checked. The incinerators again were a problem, many of
theirs being.in poor condition and in bad locations. A num-
191
ber of them were checked and corrected by.the Patrol. There
is an ever increasing number of persons traveling, picknick-
ing and camping in the forest lands. These people must be
careful of camp fires and smoking material. Children are
starting too many fires. This reflects back on the parents.
Matches should be kept away from the reach of small chil-
dren. The following laws and regulations will again be fol-
lowed in the coming year. Permits are required for all open
air fires. Incinerators shall be burned only after one hour
before sundown providing the wind has died out. Lighted
smoking material should not be thrown from cars nor de-
posited in or near forest or grass lands. If you are in doubt
of the Forest, Fires Laws, the location and condition of your
incinerator or any other fire problem or hazard, check with
your Local Fire Chief or call your Forest Warden and have
the Patrol visit you.
There have been no additions to the Forest Fire Equip-
ment for several years. Due to the past two severe dry
seasons the equipment has been subject to a great deal of
wear. Some small equipment has not been available in good
quality since, the war. I therefore recommend the aquiring;
of some new hose and other small equipment at this time.
There has been no replacement of trucks since 1938. Due
to the fire experienced at the County Farm last October it
would seem advisable to purchase another small brush break-
er type truck to be used for a second Patrol on bad fire days
and to be able to go into the woods to work fire lines that
the larger brush breakers have knocked down.
In closing, I wish to thank the citizens, the various Fire
Departments of the Town and the Forest Fire Departments
of Falmouth, Yarmouth and Dennis for the co-operation
and help during the past year. . .

B. S. AMES,

Report of
THE SHELLFISH CONSTABLE
December 1, 1946 to July 1,. 1947
To the Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable:
Gentlemen:
I.hereby submit to Sou my Twenty-first and final report
as Shellfish Constable of the Towns.
My report of 1927 (The First One) was for,the last
part of that year. This one is from December 1, 1946 .to
July 1, 1947, so the 21 reports cover 20 years and about one
month.
I was first appointed June 6, 1927 by Mr. Edgar W.
Lovell, Mr. Howard N. Parker, and Mr. William Lovell, so
you see I served 20 years and 24 days.
This report seems to be a little harder to snake than
usual as my services ended in the middle of the calendar
year, so it is going to be difficult to keep from reaching
beyond July 1, 1947 into the remaining part of the year,
which was under Mr. Jones' jurisdiction. If any part of
my report, therefore seems to do that please disregard it
as my intention is to report only to July 1.
In spite of the rather unsatisfactory conditions of some
parts of the industry at present, if we but look back to 1927
and compare we can see a decided change for the better.
In 1927 we had very few state or town regulations. What
we had were rather vague and were so tied up in legal terms
that the ones who made them really had hard work at times
195
to interpret them and very often contradicted each other
as to their meaning. No win 1947 after quite a number of
changes, the State Laws have been so simplified that the
average person can understand them.
Another big step toward the improvement of the in-
dustry is the appropriation of funds by both State and Town
for propagation purpose which includes reseeding and de-
stroying shellfish enemies.
I am not familiar with the amounts furnished by the
State back in the first part of my term in office. I believe
the first money received by the Town from the State was on
a reseeding project in 1934. The first funds raised by the
Town for propagation purposes, I think, was in 192S - '29
when $1000.00 was furnished. Since then various sums up
to about $3000.00 or $4000.00 have been raised annually ex-
cept 1932 when none was raised. -From my records and
those furnished me by the State it would seem that these_
appropriations, while very small compared with the income
from the industry are really worth while to us although our
Town is llth in shellfish,area we are 3rd in production. State
officials tell me that in their opinion these differences are
on account of the fact that Barnstable has over a term of
years furnished funds for shellfish propagation.
The facts and figures I think show a decided change
for the better since 1927. There are many such facts and
figures I could give but they would make this report much
too long. So I think if you look at the industry today, in
spite of all its shortages and unsatisfactory conditions we
must see some improvement.
In our Town we are still confronted with the trouble-
some practice of taking for family uses, which I have called
to your attention in many of my reports in the past. Some-
196
thing no doubt will have to be done in the future to curb at
least part of this taking as none of our shellfish grow fast
enough to supply this demand with 2000 to 5000 persons on
our shores in one month taking for family use. This is really
just what is taking place. If each one takes only Y, the
amount he is allowed, the number of bushels to supply this
demand is heavy. 'To my way of thinking this is one of the
real causes why our supply of shellfish is low and as long as
these regulations are in force I see little chance of improve-
ment. It is true we want to be good to our visitors but it
seems to me a question how much we can safely pay for it.
CLAMS
The clam situation in our Town, no doubt, is the most
serious of any of our shellfish problems. The causes are
many. Some think this shortage is just in our Town
but this is not so as conditions such as ours exist almost
everywhere along the Massachusetts coastline. The supply
no where meets the demand. In areas as far away as Maine
and Canada conditions are much the same. In Canada dur-
ing the past few years they have had the same trouble and
are spending quite large sums on research to try and remedy
the conditions now existing but so far there seems to be no
satisfactory answer to the problem.
I think the ideas or statements that clams are just dis-
appearing and will soon be extinct is all wrong. We have
had in past years just such conditions with no supply, no
seed, and many of the sets that come do not stay.
In 1937, my first year as your shellfish officer the clam
situation was much worse than now. Then we had no clams,
no sets in sight and no funds for propagation purposes.
Now we have from funds,furnished, quite substantal beds
planted from seed brought in from outside. These clams
should be ready for digging in 1948 and if properly super-
vised in digging, should partially meet the demand for our
197
Town trade for the summer. As to the shortages of clams:
I went into that matter quite at length in my 1946 report.
We had some set in 1945 - 46 which at the end of my term
of office seemed to be in good condition with a good prospect
of a partial supply in 1948 - 1949, but at this time I am in-'
formed these sets have all disappeared. This disappearance
is one of the questions that many who are studying these
conditions do not seem to be able to answer.
That there is and has been something wrong with the
seeding and growth of claims during the past few years is
admitted by all who know the conditions. Clams that are
full grown, half grown, as well as seed, seem to be weak.
For days at a time their holes do not show which of course
indicates weakness. In our clam business we had, beginning
in 1934, about 10 years of natural sets of seed on some of
our-flats. Quite a lot of transplanting was done with very
good results. The weather and other conditions which we
expect to effect the catching and growing of seed were much
the same during the last few years. Why the set stayed and
grew in the years 1934 - 1942 and not in 1943 '44 - '45 - '46
is hard to determine. I am told by those who depend on
oyster set for the successful operation of their business that
the year 1947, from all facts gained by their research, was
ideal for getting oyster set, yet they get none and they have
spent large sums of money to find out why these things
happen.
The clam business to July 1, 1947 was 3 days a week
with 13 Permits issued with about 1550 bushels taken with
prices about the same as last year.
QUAHAUGS
There was no, very extensive quantity of seed this year
so with the amounts being taken December 1, 1946, to July 1,
1947, about 5330 bushels, it would seem there was no great
change from 1946. I think that a few more were taken
198
during the winter months than usual due no doubt to the
unusually mild weather most of the time.
It would seem reasonable to expect that with such a
shortage in clams the demand for quahaugs (Little Neck)
size, would increase. This does not seem to have been the
case.
The area closed and seeded in Lewis Bay, Hyannis in
1945, I understand was opened and fished this year and this
will come on the report of my successor.
The drain on this part of our shellfish supply by taking
for family use is very heavy in certain parts of the Town.
East Bay, Centerville River, and sections of Seapuit River
and Popponnessett where the water is shallow and the places
easy to get to. Quahaugs do not grow, as fast as clams.
Many at sizes legal to take are often 6 or 1 years old.
SCALLOPS
I can't tell you much about scallops as the season I have
to report on is the latter part of the open season which is
usually pretty small, only about 1000 Bushels were taken
during this period.
There does not seem to be too much signs of seed up to'
July 1, so I am not able to say much about the prospects,
for 1948.
RAZOR FISH
Not too much to report on this part of the industry as
the conditions are about the same as last year; a very small
supply with scarcely any demand. Muscles-and Sea Clams
are now meeting the demand for bait that used to take so
many of out Razor Fish.
GENERAL
The totals for the industry for the period I am report-
ing for is about 7600 bushels with income of $26,000.00
199
The totals for the same period.in 1946 were 11,600 bush-
els with an income of about $40,000.00.
A little more %vork was done on Shellfish Enemies than
in 1946. Horseshoes and cockles were a good deal more
numerous.
The totals of this work will.come later. This'about
finishes my report on my activities as your Shellfish Con-
stable. I have tried as your official for this department to
run its affairs and recommend the expenditure of its moneys
so as to benefit those of the Town who work commercially
as well as those who take for family use. Mistakes are sure
to occur but I hope experiences gained through these may
be of value to the future management of the Shellfish In-
dustry.
Respectfully Submitted,
ERNEST 0. DOTTRIDGE
REPORT OF THE SHELLFISH CONSTABLE
From July 1, 1947 to December 1, 1947
To the Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable:
The totals for 1947 are as follows:
Clams $7,090.00
Quahaugs 28,530.00
Scallops 22,725.00
Totals $58,345.00
CLAMS
At the present time there is very little seed, so the
prospect of clams for marketing purposes is not good. How-
ever, the Town planted about two hundred barrels of seed
nearly two years ago which should be ready to dig by the
summer of 1948 for town trade, and during 1947 the town
planted an additional one hundred ninety-nine barrels which
should be ready in 1949.
200
PROPAGATION AND PROTECTION
The Town employed two men from May to November
who gathered and destroyed 90,844 cockles; 3,267 sand col-
lars; and 10,529 horseshoe crabs. I would recommend that
this work be continued.
QUAHAUGS
1947 was a good year for the men as the price has been
above the average.' Good results were obtained from the
opening of an area in Hyannis which has been closed for
about two years. Another area in Hyannis, near the Bulk-
head, is closed because of contamination, but we hope to
move the quahaugs from there to a different location in the
spring so they may be made ready for marketing. There
is quite a lot of seed in various sections, especially in North
Bay, Osterville.
While there is quite a supply of razor fish available,very
few are being dug as they are not being used for bait any
more and only three or four men are getting them for can-
ning. As of December 1, 1947, there had been no permits
issued.
SCALLOPS
As the scallops were smaller than usual, the season was
opened on November 1, instead of October 1, and I believe
this helped the situation. For the first time in twenty-five
years there was a quantity of scallops on the Cummaquid
shore but they were much smaller than average. During
November, nearly one thousand five hundred persons picked
them up there for family use.
GENERAL
About twenty grants of five acres have been issued for
201
the growing of shellfish. A few men have planted.seed
clams on their grants, totaling one hundred seventy-five
barrels. The Oceanographic Institute has been granted an
area of about seven acres to carry' on their experiments,
which I believe will be of great help.
The above is a brief outline of the shellfish industry in
the Town as I have observed it since I was appointed to
succeed Mr. Ernest 0. Dottridge.
Respectfully submitted,
CHESTER S. JONES,,
Shellfish Constable.

Deport of Planning Board
Last year the Planning Board requested of the citizens
of the Town of Barnstable the sum of $1500.00 to be used
for obtaining assistance in the preparation of comprehensive
zoning plans and by-laws. After making•several inquiries,
the Planning Board finally selected Mr. Arthur -C. Comey
who has had many years of experience in planning and zon-
ing. Mr. Comey has proven his worth to the committee and
his valuable advice and counsel has been a good investment
for the town. The past year the board has given priority
to all the zoning problems, held many meetings, studying
both the plans and by-laws and has visited all sections of
the town several times.
For the past years a portion of property at Dunbar's
Point has been given to the town and through the summer
months members of this board have watched and studied
the requirements for the development of this property. As
a result of this they are recommending to the Town that the
sum of $10,000.00 be raised and appropriated and used for
the first steps in the development of this property; namely,
to build a gravel surface road and parking area.
The Board strongly recommends that many of the side
roads in the village of Hyannis be.widened to allow for the
easier flow of traffic and additional parking and that this
be done before buildings are located that would prevent the
widening because of excessive damage costs..

Report of
BOARD OF PUBLIC WELFARE
PUBLIC WELFARE
Beginning in 1940 expenditures for public welfare de-
clined steadily from the 1939 total of $98,000. to $31,850. in
1945 and 32,700 in 1946. The year of 1947 saw welfare soar
upward 60% to $51,700. A substantial part of this increase
represents inflation's "take" from the welfare budget. Had
we helped the same people in the same manner in 1944, the
cost would probably have been at least $8,000 less.
Although employment on a country-wide basis has re-
mained at an all-time high throughout 1947, it became evi-
dent early in the year that Cape Cod was gradually reverting
to normalcy after the feverish rush of the war years. It has
always been typical of Cape Cod that employment should
be plentiful during the April to November period and scarce
during the other months of the year. This is quite under-
standable. We have very few factories or year-round
shops. We do have a great deal of seasonal work which is
dependent upon our greater recreational or summer business.
Most of our people are employed either directly or indirectly
in this fashion and are unable to find other employment in
the winter months.
The winter of 1946-1947 brought with it a considerable
amount of unemployment here in Barnstable and the present
winter (1947-1948) is proving even more difficult. If it
were not for the fact that most of the unemployed are able
to draw compensation; we would be carrying a,welfare load
of very considerable proportion, possibly twice what we now
have.
204
During the war we had practically no able-bodied per-
sons on relief. Nov we are assisting many such people
either fully or on a supplementary basis. It appears likely
that the amount of such aid during the coming year will be
considerably larger, as unemployment compensation pay-
ments are used up and as inflationary prices make it im-
possible for large families to live on ordinary wages.
It is interesting to note in this respect the results of the
most recent State Standard Budget, revised September 1,
1947. A family of seven, including five children aged 16,
13, 11, 8, 5, would, according to this budget, require $53 per
week in order to live in accordance with welfare standards.
This figure is based on a rental of $35 per month. In 1944
a similar family would have required by the state budget
then used, about $41 per week. In 1941 the same budget
would have figured about $32. A careful consideration of
these figures will give a greater comprehension of the prob-
lem which faces the heads of large families.
OLD AGE ASSISTANCE
The total cost of Old Age Assistance in 1947 was $155,570.
In the three previous years the following amounts were
expended: 1946 - $136,358; 1945 - $119,228.00; 1944 -
$116,915.00. This year's assistance, therefore, showed an
increased of about 14% over 1946 and 3517o over 1944. ,In
1948 we, anticipate a further increase of ten or fifteen per
cent.
Many people have the mistaken notion that Old Age
Assistance is a pension. Quite to the contrary, it is, in the
language of the statute "adequate assistance to deserving
citizens in need of relief and support sixty-five years of age
or over." In other words, the need for relief must be shown
before assistance can be granted. Reaching the age of sixty-
five is not, in and of itself, a sufficient reason for requesting
this type of aid.
205
If a person is found to be otherwise eligible and in need
of relief, he is not granted a flat amount but is given Old Age
Assistance in accordance with the budgetary standards ap-
proved and set up by the State Department of Public Wel-
fare. From the Budget so figured, there must be deducted
any income or its equivalent received by the applicant from
any source whatsoever.
It should be noted from the above that there is theoreti-
cally no limit to what may be paid to a recipient if the need
therefor is actually established.
It is also true that since relief inust be granted in ac-
cordance with definitely established budgetary standards,
the local board has no control whatever over the amount,
of yearly expenditures, except insofar as it may find more
or fewer persons eligible upon application. But since almost
any citizen over sixty-five years of age who is not working,
meets 'the residence requirements, and has less than $300 in
cash or its equivalent, is automatically eligible, the board
has even here very little discretion. The law and the regu-
lations of the State Department of Public Welfare have suc-
ceeded in reducing the procedures of granting Old Age As-
sistence to what approaches mathematical exactness. The
writer of this report would never have believed that this
would happen.
AID TO DEPENDENT CHILDREN
The total expenditures for Aid to Dependent Children
during 1947 was $33,290.00. In 1946 the total was $23.216;
in 1945, $20,435. and in 1944, $19,988. The substantial in-
crease in 1947 was largely due to two factors; first, that it
became obligatory to use the state, standard budget in de-
termining grants of assistance, and second, because of the
rapidly increasing cost of living.
Attention is called to the following brief financial sum-
206
mary of the various relief departments. It should be noted
that whereas the total expenditures in 1947 for the three
catagories was $240,765.90, the net cost as represented in the
tax rate was the much smaller sum of $90,269.09.

REPORT OF . TOWN COUNSEL
To the Board of Selectmen:
I submit herewith the report of the Town Counsel for
the year ending December 31, 1947.
At the beginning of the year there were four land dam-
age cases and three personal injury cases against the Town
pending in the Superior Court. One of the land damage
cases was disposed of by settlement and all the others re-
main inactive. During the year one land damage suit was
brought against the Town and this has been settled. There
has been one action brought by the City of Boston seeking
welfare reimbursement and this is now pending in the Suf-
folk County Superior Court. An appeal to the Superior
Court from a decision of the Board of Appeals of the Town
has been made by Harold 1. Corkin. This appeal is taken
under the zoning laws and-is awaiting trial.
The validity of a regulation by the Board of Selectmen
establishing one-way traffic on Main and South Streets in
the Village of Hyannis was questioned. Decisions in both
the District and Superiok Courts upheld the validity of
.the regulation.
Early in the year the second gift of land at Dunbar's
Point was made by Dr. Herbert T. Kalmus. An offer to
make a third gift to the Town has been made by Dr. Kalmus
and it is recommended that this offer be accepted. . When
accepted the three gifts will result in the Town's owning a
tract of land at Dunbar's Point having a shore frontage of
850 feet and a depth of 1000 feet. In appreciation of these
209
gifts it is recommended that the Town start on its develop-
ment of this area for recreational purposes.
As counsel for the Town I have given some time to a
consideration of the proposal of the Planning Board to secure
an amendment of our present zoning ordinance. This plan
calls for the substitution of a comprehensive plan of zoning
for the one now in effect. On first reading the proposed
ordinance appears lengthy and somewhat complicated. Such
is, however, not a fact. The proposed plan recognizes con-
ditions as they now exist with respect to the present uses
of land within the Town and makes provision for a planned
growth in the future. The present zoning ordinance does
not allow for a planned growth and is wholly restrictive
in nature.
No detailed report is made of the routine and daily
handling of the Town's legal affairs as it is by opinion that
these are not of substantial interest to the Town as a whole.
Respectfully submitted,
KENNETH E.WILSON
Town Counsel

Report of the
COMMITTEE ON RECODIFICATION
OF THE TOWN'S BY-LAWS
Under Article 35 of the last Annual Town Meeting, the
Selectmen, the Town Clerk, and the Town Counsel, were
authorized and instructed to edit, index, recodify and pub-
fish all of the Towns' By-Laws.,
The work of editing and recodifying has been com-
pleted and type has been set for publication.
The Town will have before it for consideration at the
annual town meeting the question of adopting a compre-
hensive zoning ordinance. If adopted, or for that matter,
if any change is made at this meeting to amend our present
by-laws, an immediate revision of. any publication, issued
prior to this meeting would be required. It is therefore,
the opinion of your committee that the sensible and economi-
cal course lies in the withholding of publication until after
the 1948 annual town meeting.

REPORT OF BOARD OF HEALTH
The year 1947 brought with it the fulfillment of several
of our projects and several new problems which are present-
ly being attacked.
The Pasteurization Law was put into effect and was
generally well received, it is a good thing for the Town as it
is something that will continue to give us benefit and pro-
tection.
The tractor which we had on order for the dump, ar-
rived at last and this will facilitate the handling of heavy
refuse at the dump and ultimately save the town considerable
money which had to be expended for outside equipment. A
building to house the tractor has been completed.. There
has been some talk of establishing another dump nearer
Hyannis but in the opinion of the Board of Health, no site
thus far presented has been considered satisfactory both
from the health point of view and the smoke and odor
standpoint.
We have also investigated the possibility of town garb-
age collection and while we feel it would be in general a
good thing, one of our sister towns has been beset with many
problems. If such an undertaking were contemplated, it is
the opinion of the Board, a great deal of study by a quali-
fied commission should be carried out.
We are of the opinion that certain steps should be taken
to improve the water supply to the village of Hyannis and
are at the moment gathering data relative to this problem.
The plumbing rules and regulations which have been a
source of controversy in the past, also arose this year and the
212
plumbers are engaging in trying to re-write them. When
an organization is as tightly knit as the plumbers are, it is
difficult but not impossible, to serve the best interests of the
town. The problems.have been momentarily laid on the
table for much the reason as grandma put her hot apple pies
out to cool.
1947 brought a sad occurrence with the passing of Dr.
Charles E. Harris. Dr. Harris has served on this Board since
its inception, the town however, lost more than a member of
the Board of Health, it lost a fine, kindly man, whose very
life made everybody understand what is really meant by
the word gentle man. A Resolution concerning his 'passing
was passed, spread upon our records and a copy sent to his
family.
The Dental Clinic again becomes a problem and this
time a financial one. The Law states that we " nay estab-
lish a Dental Clinic" and while the Board is cognizant of its
many values, it has also a sincere doubt that the good to be
done will out weigh the cost of the project. It seems a bad
time to spend a large sum of money to care for children
whose parents could well afford to do it themselves. It seems
wiser to us to save the money for use in a time when it
inight do more good.
The contagious disease picture in the town is not out
of line with the rest of the State and was fortunately at a
minimum during the year. It is interesting to note that the
one Diphtheria case we had was a patient who somehow or
other escaped our intensive campaign of several years ago.
We had one case of Infantile Paralysis which is doing
well and was handled by the Board and later by the National
Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. We are very much in
favor of the fine work the Foundation does for those people
afflicted with Infantile Paralysis.
213
The Foundation has in numerous instances relieved the
tremendous financial burden which the care and treatment
of this disease brings upon its sufferers.
Our,Agent, Mr. Chase and our clerk, Mrs. Caskin have
made the work of the Board a great deal easier and we have
maintained pleasant relations with the County Health De-
partment and have received much co-operation from other
Departments of the Town.
The program for aiding the District Nursing Association
has been of great benefit to the community because it has as-
sured continued nursing care by that fine organization.
The following communicable diseases were reported to
the Board of Health:
Chickenpox 14
German measles 2
Measles 203�
Mumps 11,
Scarlet Fever 6
Whooping Cough 28
Tuberculosis 5
Infantile Paralysis 1

is more than were ever issued in any previous year and over
100 more than in 1946.

The quality of milk and cream remain the same as last
year. All the samples of milk, cream, ice cream, evaporated
milk and goats milk that were examined were found to be
above the State Standards.
A new test has been added, called the Prosphatase test
which gives a very accurate check, showing that the milk is
properly Pasteurized.

REPORT OF DISTRICT NURSES ASSOCIATION
To the Barnstable Board of Health:
The work of the District Nursing Association in this
Community has been carried on during 1947 along the same
lines and in the usual routine manner as in previous years.
Bedside.nursing and Health supervision visits are our
two largest items. ' In addition to these we have continued
our monthly Well-child conferences where a physician
speccially trained in the care and feeding of children ad-
vises and helps young mothers with their every day prob-
lems.
We also have had our annual Eye clinic for the school
children, this was held at the Cape Cod Hospital wtih Dr.
Carl Riemer in charge of examinations. Other available
clinics in the town are the Chest clinic held 'once a month
by the Barnstable County Sanatorium and the Crippled
Children's clinic held under the supervision of the Massa-
chusetts Department of Public Health.
We find the co-operation and good will of other health
agencies in the town very gratifying and of benefit to the
interest of the community.

Report of the
BARNSTABLE COUNTY HEALTH
DEPARTMENT
For the Year 1947
Of the common communicable diseases, measles was the
most prevalent in the county during the year. A total of
358 cases being reported to this office. Acute anterior polio-
myelitis.was present during the summer but of the four cases
reported, only one developed any paralytic symptoms. Cases
of two less common diseases were reported, namely: two
cases of Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever• and two cass of Tul-
aremia. A series of immunization clinics were held during
the spring months. A total of 944 children were immunized
against diphtheria and 170 vaccinated against smallpox.
A series of meetings were held with the public health
nurses in the county for the purpose of further promoting
preventive services and to discuss common problems which
had arisen.
During the last week in June, a five day meeting spon-
sored by the Massachusetts Departments of Education and
Public Health and attended by school superintendents and
other interested school personnel, was held at Hyannis.
Methods for improvement of the School health programs
were discussed and plans recommended for future develop-
ments. Members of this department participated in the dis-
cussions.
Crippled Children Clinics were held as usual at the
Cape Cod Hospital. In January, a special foot clinic was
organized as part of the.out patient service of the hospital
219
and this department has furnished certain administrative
assistance including nursing service'to this clinic. A total
of 161 children made 476 visits'to these clinics.
s
Well child conferences were held during the summer
months and 451 children were examined.
In the field of sanitation, activities were carried on at
a somewhat increased tempo. Investigations were made of .
water supplies on request and samples examined in the lab-
oratory. Pasteurizing plants and dairy farms were routine-
ly inspected. As of December 31, there were nine pasteuriz-
ing plants in operation and 24 local dairies supplying milk
to these plants. A survey made in February 1947, showed
that 95% of the fluid milk sold in the county was pasterized.
Since that time, other pasteurizing plants have become oper-
ative and at the end of the year, only a very small amount
of raw milk was being sold. With rare exceptions, bacterial
samples taken routinely on milk supplies showed counts
were below legal limits.
Increased attention was given to food sanitation. Dur-
ing June,and July, a survey of the sanitation in all food
handling establishments was carried out. Following the
survey, follow up visits were made concentrating our at-
tention on those places found to be most in need of improve-
ment. In connection with this work, more than the usual
number of examinations were done on swabs taken from
m
utensils used for serving food and drink.

Report of
THE PARK COMMISSIONERS
To the Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable
The past year the care, upkeep and improvement of our
parks has been carried on as usual. Replanting of shrub-
bery and new soil we have again found necessary to quite
an extent due to damage by the hurricane, especially in
those arears near salt "rater.
Memorial Park in Cotuit has received special attention;.
many loads of loam have been used, trees and shrubs plant- '
ed, benches placed along the walks, a flag pole and a very
presentable area of grass has been produced.
A lifeguard was employed at the bulkhead the past
summer and he is to be commended for his prompt action
in effecting the rescue of a child who fell into the bay.
This year we hope to complete a number of improve-
ments at the Town Park on Lewis Bay. Also the roadway
at the bulkhead will, in all probability be resurfaced as soon
as the weather permits.
The park areas in the Town are increasing and every
effort will be expended toward improving them.

Report of
SEWER COMMISSIONERS
In various ways 1947 has been a busy year for the Sewer
Department.
All the main sewer lines were given a complete cleaning
in the Spring, the entire system was also surveyed for roots
that had grown into lines. Roots were removed from the
Park Square area, School St., High School Road and part
of Main Street. A further survey will be given next Spring.
During the past year,,the sewer line has also been ea-
tended from Elm St. on Barnstable Road through Louis St.
to Winter St., an extension of approximately 1,300 feet with
laterals running to property lines.
In the Fall the Center St. sewer line was replaced with
10-inch pipe, part of which was re-located, without inter-
ruption to service; laterals were also installed to property
lines.
The filter beds are now in excellent condition, stones
have been removed from the four remaining beds during
the year.
There were a few minor repairs at the Pumping Station,
which were made without loss of pumping time:
Eighteen new connections were added to the system
and'87,624,000 gallons of sewage were pumped in 1947.

Report of
THE TOWN ENGINEER
To the Board of Selectmen:
I submit, herewith, the sixth annual report of the Town
Engineer.
During the past year, the efforts of this Department
have been concerned mainly with the Highways.
The computations and plans, also the details and speci-
fications, for the reconstruction of Center Street, Hyannis,
required considerable time.
Considering the comparative short length of highway,
there is an unusual amount of detail which required careful
study.
Tower Hill Road and Swift Avenue, in Osterville were
surveyed and the new layout lines were staked out for con-
struction and surfacing. The highway monuments are to
be set on all three of these layouts, when weather permits
and the construction work completed.
The work on the Assessors books is progressing as well
as the requirements of other duties will permit.
We now have two veterans of the late war assisting in
the work of the department. One of them, Herbert W.
Reckendorf, left this office, at the beginning of the emer-
gency, to enlist in the Army Air Corps. The other, Warner
S. MacCall, is a new man to this area.
They, both, are working under the Veterans Training
Program, to become surveyors, and are making satisfactory
progress.

At the Annual 'down Meeting, the sum of $14,000.00 was
appropriated for a Recreation Program, in the Town of
Barnstable.
Recreation programs under this Commission are being
held in the following villages: Barnstable, Centerville, Co-
tuit, Hyannis, Marstons Mills, Osterville and West Barn-
stable.
226
INDOOR CENTERS AND PROGRAMS
In Barnstable, the Recreation Commission in co-opera-
tion with the Community Service Council, is offering a well
rounded program of activities to this village. The Wo-
men's Club is being equipped for basketball as well as other
games; and movies, dances, and special parties are scheduled
at this center.
Centerville utilizes the basement of the Village School
where a program of activities adaptable to the space is
offered. A varied game program including ping-gong is
planned here and dancing is also scheduled regularly. Resi-
dents of Centerville also participate in the programs con-
ducted at the Osterville Center.
The Cotuit program operates in Freedom Hall where ,
dances, ping-pong, shuffleboard, and all other games except
basketball, are enjoyed by those attending. The Osterville
Center Gym is rserved exclusively one night a Aveek for the
people of Cotuit.
The Hyannis Community Center, on the second floor at
290 Main Street, Hyannis, consists of two rooins, both de-
voted to Arts and Crafts. A large number of children
attend activities here and adults from every village in the
town participate in crafts, which include the following pro-
jects: Metal craft, block printing, ceramics, decorating, jew-
elry making, drawing and painting, leathercraft., wood carv-
ing, metal foil and poster making, as well as lettering. These
activities have expanded tremendously and more than 300
adults, as well as children, attend craft activities at this
center.
The American Legion Home, in Hyannis,was rented and
two basketball leagues, and a volleyball league were organ-
ized. 'Our basketball leagues were comprised of-junior and
senior divisions for boys. In the 'latter part of 1947, we
227
organized three leagues in Basketball, a junior and senior
division for boys, and a league for girls. These circuits have
grown from a total of twelve teams to twenty-three teams.
A volleyball league of eight teams, for men was organized
and in the fall of 1947 developed in to a twelve team activity.
'.Peen ag-e programs are regularly scheduled in this center
and consist of the following activities: dances, ping-pong,
cards, checkers, cribbage, chess, dominoes, and volleyball.
In Marstons Mills, an Athletic Association is very active
in the community, and plans a program for the young people.
The Recreation Commission supplies this group with the
necessary equipment to conduct such activities. This pro-
gram includes ping-gong, dancing, shuffleboard, cards, check-
ers, dominoes, etc.
The Osterville Center, which is the only building under
the jurisdiction of the Commission is well adapted and
equipped for recreation. Last year this building was painted
inside and out, and made very attractive; the basement walls
were water-proofed, and all that remains to place this cen-
ter in first class condition is to repair the roof. This build-
ing with its gym, lounge room, game room, rifle range, show-
ers, and craft shop, offers a very attractive program to the
Community. Every craft, earlier mentioned in this report,
with the exception of ceramics and jewelry, is available to
participants. Other 'activities, are basketball, volley ball,
gym games, dances, cards, checkers, cribbage, dominoes,
boxing, wrestling and tournaments. The center is used a
great deal by Community groups, such as Boy Scouts, Girl
Scouts, and Veterans' organizations.
Activities in West Barnstable, in the early part of 1947,
were conducted iiz the village school. The West Barnstable
Improvement Association became interested in a program
and acquired the use of the building at one time used as
the Town Office. Here a program of activities includes:
228
dances, dance instruction, boxing, parties, cards, checkers,
cribbage, dominoes, and special events. Plans are-under way
to improve this center and place it in first class condition.
Consequently, our in-door program, offers a variety of
activities including: Arts and crafts, basketball, boxing,
cards, checkers, cribbage, dancing, dramatics, special par-
ties( such as Hallowe'en and Christmas, tournaments and
the following clubs: Magic, dramatic, airplane modeling
and photography.
OUTDOOR AREAS AND PROGRAMS
The regular summer program of swimming and base-
ball was conducted by the Recreation Staff.
Two lifeguards are added to the Recreation Staff for
the Summer season which starts the latter part of June
and ends on Labor Day. Hathaway and Joshua ponds are
supervised, and daily instruction in swimming is given to
both beginners and advanced swimmers. Both of these areas
are under the direct jurisdiction of the Commission. More
than one hundred boys and girls received Red Cross cer-
tificates, as a result of having successfully passed their
swimming tests. At the end of the summer, water events
were conducted at both ponds and much interest was shown
in the swimming and diving contests. Minor crafts were
conducted at each pond, and were very popular activities;
outdoor painting classes were also conducted and were very
well attended.
The Baseball League was comprised of teams repre-
senting Cotuit, Hyannis, Osterville, Centerville, Barnstable
and West Barnstable. Cotuit again, won the pennant, for
the second consecutive year. Approximately one hundred
boys were guests of the Boston Red Sox at a game at Fen-
way Park. This project was sponsored by the Hyannis
229
Kiwanis Club, who provided transportation, and other
needs for the occasion.
Two adult groups interested in entering baseball teams
in the Cape Cod League were assisted financially by the
Recreation Commission. These teams were known as the
Barnstable Townies and the Cotuit team. Most of these
players are veterans and a great deal of interest was shown
by the two groups participating. One of the players on the
Townies team signed in 1946 by the Boston Red Sox, has
been promoted in professional baseball to a Class A league.
Our baseball school conducted by the Boston Red Sox was
held again last summer in Hyannis and once more a pro-
fessional contract is being awarded one of the players. We
included in our 1947 school, junior players and they re-
sponded in large numbers. It is the plan of the Commis-
sion to have another such event in the coming year.
Therefore, our out-door program is comprised of the
following: baseball, baseball leagues, Town baseball team,
Red Sox tryout school, horseshoes, minor crafts, picnics,
swimming instruction and volley ball.
The Recreation Program in this Town becomes greater
every year, and groups are constantly requesting the Com-
mission for activities. A supervisor of Girls' and Women's
Activities is needed to expand programs for these groups.
Our Athletic leagues continue to grow and a modern Com-
munity Building suitable for the, Recreational needs of the
Town, is a very vital, urgent need.
The Recreation Commission extends its sincere appre-
ciation to all Town Departments, to all Churches, to all
Civic and Community organizations for their excellent co-
operation, which enables this Commission to plan programs
230
on a much broader scale than is possible with Town owned
facilities.

Report of.
INSPECTOR OF ANIMALS
To the Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable:
Gentlemen:
There were no reactors to the tuberculin test within
the town during the year ending December 31, 1947.
I recommend that-all dogs be inoculated against rabies.
This disease has now reached within one mile of the western
border of Massachusetts.
There has been a sharp decrease in the number of live-
stock during this year.
The installation of a new type pasteurization unit at the
Seapuit Farm was very successful, this was the first instal-
lation of this type of machine in this State. It has been
approved by.the State Department of Public Health. This
machine has many advantages for the small operator, name-
ly, the milk is pateurized and cooled in the bottle, thus elim-
inating extra handling. It is cooled in the same container by
a circulation of cold water which starts automatically when
the pasteurization period is complete. The machines handles
51 quarts of milk at a time and costs only a fraction of the
old type pasteurizer.
I will gladly go into the details of this machine with
any milk producer of the Town of Barnstable upon request.
Respectfully submitted,
ROBERT D. CHASE,
Animal Inspector

Report of the
WEST BARNSTABLE CEMETERY
COMMITTEE
Two years ago the part of the old West Barnstable
graveyard, no longer used for burials, was rough with briars
and little bushes. The annual mowing before Memorial Day
did little to discourage this growth. The oldest stones had
disappeared. Fragments of others had lost all marks of
identification, and it was plain that inscriptions on other
old stones could not be read much longer. - Fifty years ago
Gustavus Hinckley spent enough time in the ancient burial
places throughout the Town to make careful copies of the
inscriptions. He gave his notebooks, some six in number,
to the Library of the New England Genealogical Society in
Boston where they have recently been rebound. This Com-
mittee recommends that the Town secure photostat copies
of these inscriptions so that they will be available in our
own Town Office.
Because so much of last year's appropriation has been
spent on the old gravestones, we wish to report this expend-
iture in detail. We secured the advice of Mr. James White
of Plymouth, born in Plymouth, England, to whose judg-
ment and workmanship the restorations on Burial Hill in
Plymouth owve so much. The following stones have been
cared for.
That of Col. John Otis, 1727: He was born in Hingham,
but was the first Otis to spend all his mature life in Barn-
stable, marrying here and dying here. Besides being Com-
mander of the County Militia, he was first judge of the
Probate Court serving thirteen years, and was a member
233
of His Majesty's Council for twenty-one years. It seems
probable that an earlier slate stone was replaced by the
present table stone at the time a table stone was placed
over the neighboring grave of his grandson, Brigadier Gen-
eral Joseph Otis, since the long inscriptions on both were
equally weathered and could scarcely be made out. "They
have been recut and will be legible, says Mr. White, for
another 150 years. In words of the inscription, Col. John
"lived much desired and dyed greatly lamented after a
Life of great usefulness."
That of Col James Otis, father of the patriot, who served
Barnstable with such energy and wisdom that in the Town
Meeting of March 1772 it was voted, "to give the Honorable
James Otis Thanks for the good offices he has done this
Town for 45 years." His stone, Mr. White says he has never
seen a finer piece of slate, needed no recutting, but was so
sunken that the last lines of the Latin inscription could not
be read. Our own workmen will raise it onto a concrete
foundation.
The lettering on the flat slate tablet to the memory
of Rev. Jonathan Russell is also still perfect, but to preserve
it Mr. White advised careful filling of the wide crack that
has opened between the tablet and the stone in which it is
sulk. Mr. Russell was the pastor when the Meeing house
was built and preached the first sermon from its high pulpit
on Thanksgiving Day 1719.
The graves of our Revolutionary Majors, Micah Hamlin
and Andrew Garrett, of Commodore Percival, and of Parker
Lombard have had attention in recent years and do not need
care at this time.
After some hesitation,the.committee decided to protect
two other stones this.year; one erected by Col. Otis in 1766
to the memory of his daughter Abigail. This is the only
234
stone, except his own, remaining in his lot, though six of
his children died early and undoubtedly their graves were
marked. This stone was badly cracked and would soon be
beyond repair. We decided it should be cared for out of
respect to Col. Otis. The other is that of Deacon Samuel
Chipman, 1723. Mr. Hinckley's records preserve the fol-
lowing inscription, "Sacred to the Memory of Deacon Sam-
uel Chipman, son of Elder John Chipman and Hope, the
daughter of John Howland of the Mayflower Pilgrims, his
wife. He was ordained Deacon in 1706 and died in 1723,
aged 63 years." Mr. Hinckley adds "The original inscrip-
tion is destroyed." Deacon Chipman was the last of our
deacons to be ordained, a ceremony up to that time only
less solemn than the ordinations of a minister. . A carpenter
by trade he must, as carpenter and deacon, have been very
active in the building of the Meetinghouse where the work
of his hands may remain on the fine old timbers.
The stone at the grave of Capt. Thomas Fuller, 1719,
will be left. It is the oldest on which the inscription can
just barely be deciphered and here we have the help of
Mr. Hinckley's copies. Since- it is beyond restoration, a
similar slate stone with the original inscription will be
placed beside it. Mr. White could not find fine slate suitable
for the replica in time to make and place it last fall. He is
at work on it this winter and the committee is confident
-payment will be provided in an appropriation for the com-
ing year. Capt. Fuller was a grandson of Capt. Matthew .
Fuller, Lieutenant under Miles Standish and was himself
Captain in the early Indian Wars.
Persistent mowing has cleared the ground of brambles
and undergrowth. A new road through this part of the
graveyard makes it possible for visitors to find more easily
the graves they search for, and visitors come in increasing
numbers each year. Trees have been planted which as the
years pass will give the graves some shelter and seclusion.
235
But the summer's drought made constant watering of the
trees necessary and this was expensive. This may need to
be done for another year until the trees are fully established.
Two wells driven in previous years by people in the village
have failed and there is now no water supply in the grave-
yard.
The Committee recommends the appropriation of $1,000.
for the care of this old graveyard.
The new cemetery:
It is fortunate that the work of clearing away the trees
felled by the earlier hurricanes was not undertaken until
after our last gale so that everything could be cleared away
at the same time. As the work has progressed the coin-
mittee has been glad to feel they decided wisely in selecting
the location. It is accessible, has many good trees still
standing which will give it the seclusion the old graveyard
has not had since the coming of the railroad one hundred
years ago and the leasing of the Lombard land for business.
Before lots can be laid out and burials made here, surveying
grading, and at least one road into and through the area are
necessary. The Committee have asked the Selectmen to
take the steps necessary to include in the cemetery the nar-
row strip of Crocker Park lying between the cemetery and
the road. They recommend the appropriation of $1,000.00
for the necessary development of the wood lot into a ceme-
tery.

Report of the
I IYANNIS AIRPORT COMMISSION
AND MANAGER
In this second annual report of the Hyannis Airport Com-
mission, covering the first full calendar year of operation
since the airport was turned back to the town by the Navy
Department in 1946, we are pleased to report a marked in-
crease in its use for commercial and private flying, and an
increase in revenues.
Because of its enlargement and development for war use,
the Town of Barnstable now owns and operates an airport of
far greater size, and one representing a far greater invest-
ment than that originally planned and purchased. We feel
that a brief explanation of its operation, particularly the
business aspects of its operation,will help our citizens under-
stand some of its problems.
In the first place, Hyannis Airport is open to the general
public without any charge for its use, except where the use
is for profit. That is, any private flyer may have unlimited
free use of the field, but all who use it to carry passengers
for hire, whether in regular airline or charter service, or to
conduct a school of instruction, or to make a profit in any
other manner, must pay for the privilege.
In the second place, the general operation of the field,
that is, the direction of air traffic, management of the park-
ing line, direction of landings and takeoffs, policing of flying
and non-flying areas, enforcement of safety regulations, and
so on, is done by the small town airport staff, headed by
Manager Alton B. Sherman.
Now all other services, or the privilege of providing
services, for a profit, are leased out by the Commission on a
237
contract or fee basis. The existing contracts or concessions
during 1947 were as follows: for scheduled airline opera-
tions, Northeast Airlines, Inc.,- for use of the hangars for
storage, repairs, servicing of airplane, conduct of school
of instruction and Charter flying, Cape Air Service, Inc.;
for sale of petroleum products, Cape Cod School of Aero-
nautics; for restaurant, Joseph Curtis; for taxi service,
Arthur Behlman.
Revenues from the above sources and miscellaneous
revenues from small concessions in the adminstration build-
ing and rentals for several surplus buildings, totalled more
than $6,600 during 1947, which amounted to�more than one
quarter of the airport expenditures. While the airport is
far from self-supporting, it is a simple fact that airports do
not pay, and must be looked upon as a type of public utility
or public service, comparable to highways and harbors.
The financial return is indirect.
It has been the Airport Commission's endeavor to secure
as much revenue as possible, consistent with its goals of
maintaining Hyannis Airport as a year around airport,
and of making it as attractive and useful as possible to the
general public. Substantial increase in both passengers
carried by airlines, and by private-planes, is shown in the
approved report of Manager Sherman. This indicates the
increasing importance Hyannis Airport will assume in the
general transportation field on Cape Cod.
The Airport Commission during 1947 has met regularly
the first Monday of each month, and specially as necessary.
A total of 20 meetings were held. The Commission will
willingly hear any citizen having matters to discuss or pro-
pose concerning the airport, and appointments can be made
with the chairman.

REPORT OF AIRPORT MANAGER
Air traffic during 1947 was the largest in the history of
the airport. Airline arrivals and departures, non-scheduled
commercial aircraft and privately owned aircraft make up
the civilian side of the picture. The military aircraft were
Army, Navy, Marine and Coast Guard. The aircraft are
divided into two classes, single and multi-engine. Total air-
craft using the facilities and the airport were 3574 of which
1198 were muti-engine aircraft and 2376 were single-engine,.
an increase of approximately 250% over 1946. Passengers
arriving and departing aboard private, commercial and mili-
tary aircraft were 9499. Northeast.Airlines, operating twelve
months of the year, carried 7,900 passengers'of which 4,255
were arrivals and 3,645 departures. Total passengers usin'
the airport in both scheduled and non-scheduled flight oper-
ations were 17,399. It is estimated that 35,000 non-flying
visitors were at the airport to watch flight operations during
the year.
Minor damage was caused to the large hangar roof by
a wind storm,during the early part of November and repairs
were completed Nov. 29th. October 6th a fire of unde-
termined origin broke out in the administration building
totally destroying all the furniture and interior of one office.
The cost of the repairs and replacements were paid from the
insurance receipts.
The one major improvement made during the year was
the sealcoating of the East-West runway.
No aircraft accidents occurred on the airport, the park-
ing ramp or in the vicinity during the year.

Report of
THE COMMITTEE ON HARBORS
AND WATERWAYS
January 27, 1948
To the Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable:
The above named committee submits for your consider-
ation and action the following matters
1. It is recommended that an article be inserted in
the Town Warrant to enable the transfer of Ocean Street
Park to the Selectmen. This recommendation is contingent
upon the passage by the State Lgeislation of a Bill for the
same purpose.
2. It is recommended, under the same provisions as in
Item 1, that provision be made for the employment of a
Wharfinger at the Ocean Street Bulkhead at a compensation
similar to that formerly paid to the life guard at the same
location.
3. It is recommended that services be provided to visit-
ing yachtsmen to furnish water and garbage removal at the
bulkhead for the months of July and August.
4. It is recommended that ten public moorings be made
available to visiting yachtsmen and that the Selectmen make
available appropriation for the purchase of same, six for
Hyannis, two for Osterville, and tw6 for Cotuit.
5. It is recommended keg or other type buoys to the
240
number of twelve (12) in all be purchased for use as follows:
One on Fidd'lehead Rock in Lewis Bay, four between Dun-
bar Point and Fish Hill Point in Lewis Bay and six at the
entrance to Poponessett River, Cotuit. This will leave one
extra buoy to be used at the discretion of the Harbor Masters
of the Town.
6. It is recommended that the Selectmen cause to be
printed a suitable number of copies of Harbor and Wharf
Regulations for distribution to boat owners.

DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS'
SERVICES ORGANIZATION
On March 24,1947, the District Department of Veterans'
Services for the Towns of Barnstable, Yarmouth and Dennis
was formed in accordance with the recommendations and
approval of the State Commissioner and recent State Laws.
(Chap. 599, Acts 1946) On April first a district office was
established in Room 11, Town Office Building, Hyannis,
Tel. 688, with A. Earle Mitchell as Director in charge. The .
operating expenses of this central office is assessed to and
shared by the three towns in proportion to their certified
state valuation.
JAMES F. KENNEY
VICTOR F. ADAMS
CHESTER A. CROCKER
Board of Selectmen
To the Board of Selectmen,
Of The Town of Barnstable.
Gentlemen:
During the past months, veterans of all wars, their rela-
tives and dependants living within and without the district
have been given information and suggestions on their many
problems in regard to discharges, bonuses, claims, hospitaliz-
ation, work, study, housing, unemployment, insurance, loans,
etc., by and in close co-operation with federal, state, county
and local governmental units together with the private and
242
commercial agencies in the area. In addition to the assist-
ance mentioned the Director also administers as Agent the
payment of benefits to our needy veterans as approved by
the State Commissioner and personally visits each case in
town and throughout the district, including those from other
cities and towns located here temporarily or permanently.
As noted in the preceding paragraph, contacts of all
kinds are continually being made in the form of service to
our veterans and although from the best sources available
there are some 2800 former service people in the district,
your Director hopes for the benefit of the veterans them-
selves, to be able to complete a roster of all. In the mean-
time, he strongly suggests that all World II veterans who
have not already had their discharges' photostated (no
charge) at'the County Court House do so at once; and all
veterans of previous wars and also men still in service write
their name, address, outfit and war on post card and mail
to Department of•Veterans'.Services, P. 0.Box 686, Hyannis.
Respectfully submitted,
A. EARLE MITCHELL, Director.

Report of the School Committee
To the Citizens of the Town of Barnstable:
Your School Committee herewith submits its annual
report for the year ending December 31, 1947 including
therein the Report of the Superintendent of Schools.
Your particular attention is called to that part of the
Superintendent's report concerning the recent survey of
our school system just completed by Dr. Herbert Blair
of Boston University. Dr. Blair is a recognized expert in
school planning and building programs and his recommen-
dations are receiving the careful consideration of your
Committee.
The salary schedule mentioned in our last annual
report has been placed in operation.
The .reimbursement received from the State for 1947
represents a very decided increase over amounts received
in the past. This reimbursement increased from $23,979.88
for 1946 to $46,600.10 for 1947. While this reimbursement
does not come direct to the School Department, but goes
into the General Fund, it does have the overall effect of
reducing the total amount necessary to be raised by town
taxes.
Our budget for maintenance and repairs will again
show a decided increase for, 1948 over 1947. The estimate
submitted has been carefully prepared and is needed to
keep our equipment in first class condition. The appro-
priation of $10,000.00 for the new heating plant for Cotuit,
in spite of the engineer's estimate, proved to be too small
248
to do the work and additional funds are included in the
1948 budget.
The committee held ten regular meetings and nine-
teen special meetings throughout the year. An itemized
financial report is included in the Superintendent's report.
The appropriation for 1947 was $308,500.00. $3,306.03 was
received from.other sources, making a total of $311,806.03
available. $311,803.53 was expended. Reimbursement from
the State and other sources ,was $51,617.64 making the net
cost to the town $260,188.39.

A Faithful Servant
On March 1, 1948 Mr. Bruce K. Jerauld will terminate
his services as a member of the Barnstable School Com-
mittee.
Mr. Jerauld became a member in March 1933 and has
served continuously and faithfully for five consecutive
terms, a period of fifteen years. For the last ten years he
has served as Chairman. Such a contribution.to the boys i
and girls of the community is both a rare privilege and a
an unusual accomplishment, the value of which is beyond
measure.
We realize that we are losing an honorable school
committee member and friend—one of high ability and
integrity. His vital interest in youth and their problems,
his willingness to give generously and unselfishly of his
time and effort have made him an outstanding member.
He has always strived to maintain a high standard of edu-
cational service for the children of our town.
Those who have served with Mr. Jerauld have been
impressed by his sincerity, loyalty and fairness and will
long remember his wise counsel, sterling judgment and fine
leadership.
We wish to record our sincere appreciation to Mr.
Jerauld for his long efficient service and to express ,our
hopes for good health and happiness. His retirement from
the Barnstable School Committee will be deeply regretted.

Recognition of Faithful Service
It is a pleasure to give special attention to two teachers
who have retired after long service in the schools of Barn-
stable.
BESSIE A. MORSE
Miss Bessie A. Morse, elementary teacher in the Hyannis
Training School,, retired in June 1947 after thirty-three
years of faithful service. Miss Morse has always conducted
herself as a lady of gracious manner and kindly disposition.
She completed her teaching with us with the comforting
thoughts that she had enjoyed a notable career as an out-
standing teacher and, could look forward to a long, happy
retirement.
She will be remembered kindly by a host of teachers
and former pupils who were happy to hear of her marriage
to Dr. Alfred Ray Atwood in July and who wish them many
years of happiness together.
JANET C. JONES
Miss Janet C. Jones joined the high school faculty
in September 1929 and retired in November 1947 after
eighteen years of faithful service.
In addition to being an outstanding teacher of Art,
Miss Jones maintained a sincere, personal interest in the
welfare of each pupil. Her work brought her into pleasant
contacts with hundreds of young people. She was a cheer-
ful, understanding person and easily became one of the
school's most popular teachers. Her superior command of
subject matter coupled with'a wonderful sense of humor
252,
made her classes lively and challenging and created a very
special place for her in the lives of her students. The many
letters she received from her former pupils during the war
and the large number of alumni who visited her each year
are indications of the high regard her pupils had for her.
We will long remember with gratitude Miss Jones' loyal
service and are happy to extend to her our very best wishes
for continued health and happiness.

Report of the Superintendent of Schools
To the School Committee of Barnstable, Massachusetts
Miss Hinkle and Gentlemen:
I have the privilege of presenting my ninth annual
report concerning public education in the schools of Barn-
stable for the year ending December 31, 1947.
I am including in my report summaries and excerpts
from the annual reports submitted to me by various ad-
ministrative members of the school department.
This is a period of readjustment in the social, financial,
political, business and educational life of our people. Post-
war demands are ringing in our ears from all corners.
In regard to education eve hear of expanded school
services, higher salaries for teachers and other school em-
ployees, new school buildings, improvement of existing
school facilities—these are only some of the problems con-
fronting communities everywhere.
Today school budgets are often less adequate to provide
a full school program than they were before the war when
budgets were much smaller. Increases in- salaries and
prices in the past few years are placing a heavy burden
on the taxpayers. Real estate represents about one fourth
of the wealth but it bears three fourths of the expenses of
supporting the services of government. The general prop-
erty taxpayer will not receive relief from this burden until
other taxables beside real property bear a much larger per-
centage of the load.
254
Public education is basically a function of state gov-
ernment and for this reason a fair amount of financial aid
to public schools should come from the Commonwealth.
The aid given to local communities for public schools by
Massachusetts is far below the average of that given to
local communities by other states.
Governor Robert F. Bradford said in his address to
the 1947 Legislature: "Your Recess Commission on Edu-
cation has been studying the important question of re-,
rimbursement in state aid for educational purposes.
Consideration of this vital problem cannot longer be de-
ferred. The municipalities of the Commonwealth have been
confronted with a crisis in the teaching profession which
is nation-wide. The situation calls for the adoption of a
more equitable system of state 'reimbursement, if we are
to maintain the equality of educational opportunity which
is a -cherished part of the American tradition. . . . . . We
have prided ourselves on our high standard as a leader
in this field, yet in Massachusetts less than one-tenth of-
the cost of public schools is received from the state, while
the average state contribution for the nation is over one-
third. Once again, it is your problem and mine to balance,
the mounting need against the mounting cost."
NEW SALARY SCHEDULE
In the school report of last year a single salary schedule
was proposed for the classroom teachers of the Town of
Barnstable.
At the beginning of this calendar- year this schedule
was adopted. This is a progressive step and in line with
what is being done in most places.
In a single salary schedule a teacher may receive the
same' salary for efficient service in grade one as in grade
twelve providing that her training and years of experience
are equivalent. It offers an equal chance for advancement
to all teachers with the same preparation.

There is still a definite shortage of teachers for the
elementary schools particularly for the primary grades.
Salaries of teachers have been increased in most communi-
ties and our schedule is still not high enough to be a strong
drawing offer. In many instances salary schedules which
were adopted last year are now inadequate,and fail to meet
the competition prevailing in other communities.
The rise in the cost of living has completely offset the
average increase in teachers' pay. Teachers are not able
to maintain their pre-war standard of living and are re-
acting by demanding increases in salaries, by accepting
higher paying teaching positions elsewhere or by leaving
the profession.
256
Teachers' salaries are still low—low in absolute terms;
low in relation to the importance of their work; low in re-
lation to earning possibilities in other fields.
BUILDING PROGRAM
For many years the community has recognized the
need of a school building program. Since the termination
of the war definite steps have been taken to carry out this
program.
The School Committee has at its disposal sufficient
Federal funds to make a survey of the physical plant and
to prepare specifications and plans of the needed facilities.
In anticipation of a building program the committee en-
gaged the services' of Dr. Herbert Blair of Boston Uni-
versity, an educational consultant on school housing, to
make a detailed study of the Barnstable school building
problems. The survey has been completed and his report
is being studied. The summary and the recommendations
from the report of Dr. Blair as presented are as follows:
SUMMARY
"L With the exception of a portion of the Barnstable
School, the Training School built in 1895 is the oldest build-
ing now in use for school purposes.,
2. Between 1912 and 1917 Barnstable rebuilt the
school at Barnstable and provided new buildings for Oster-
ville, Centerville, Marstons Mills and Cotuit.
3. Since 1927 the school reports in varying language
but with increasing emphasis have called attention 'to the
fact that "The Training School is housing too many pupils
and this condition should be remedied in the near future."
4. The delay in providing needed buildings in the
,different villages, the small amount spent when they were
authorized, the 20 years that have passed since the school
257
committee began to present the need for a new elementary
building in Hyannis seem to indicate that the cost of edu-
cation rather than its benefits has influenced the voters in
town meeting.
5. Compared to the other towns in Massachusetts with
populations of more than 5,000, Barnstable ranks high in
its ability to support education, high in its cost per pupil,
largely due to its high costs for transportation of pupils,
high in light load of pupils for each teacher, and high in
the professional standing of its elementary teachers.
6. Compared to these other towns Barnstable ranks
low in its tax for schools and in the proportion of total taxes
that the schools receive.
7. Using the latest available data from the State De-
partment of Accounts, a comparison of town costs in Barn
stable in 1930 and 1945 shows an increase of 87 per cent in,
town expenses as a whole. During this period school costs
increased only 43 per cent.
8. Only second to having well trained, experienced
and skillful teachers in the classroom the building itself
and the facilities provided determine to a large extent how
successful the children will be in their program through
school.
9. The High School was built in three installments:
1924, $147,000; 1928, $175,000; 1939, $110,000. In spite
of the two additions the building lacks classrooms, a study
hall, and adequate gymnasium, auditorium, shops and
cafeteria.
10. If the High School had been planned at one time
and built section by section it would have functioned better
as a sehool.than when planned and built a section at a
time. Neither the auditorium, gymnasium, cafeteria, nor ,
library was planned for an enrollment of 750 to 800 pupils.
258
11. A table showing the use of each room, shop and
laboratory in the High School for each period of the school
day shows a high utilization of the building:
12. The Training School was built more than fifty years
ago and planned for the sitting-listening-memorizing pro-
gram of that period. It has been modernized as far as it is
possible to modernize a building of its type but it is greatly
over-crowded and the service facilities are very inadequate.
13. With the exception of the Osterville School the
village schools outside Hyannis have few pupils that live
near the building. For either Marstons Mills or West
Barnstable only eight pupils walk to school and in Center-
ville all but 13 are taken there by bus. Barnstable and
Cotuit have 31 and 34 respectively that live close enough
to walk to school. The cost of transporting pupils to these.
four schools is as much as the cost would be to transport
them to a central elementary school. Many studies on
school costs and school efficiency show that the larger the
school up to about 1,000.pupils the lower is the cost per
pupil and the more efficient is the instruction.
14. The best of the several measures that might be
used to determine the efficiency of a school system are those
that are based upon the progress of the children in school.
One of this type of measures is an Age-Grade Table giving
the spread of ages for the children found in each of the
grades and the spread of grades in which are found chil-
dren of the same age.
15. 4 Barnstable Age-Grade Table for 1929 showed a
spread of five to eight years between the age of the young-
est and the oldest child in each of the grades and an equally
wide spread of grades for all children more than eight years
of age.
.16. A similar table for 1946-47 showed a reduction both
259
in the spread of ages in each of the school grades and also in
the spread of grades for those of the same age.
17. The school progress of each child of the entire
enrollment of 172 first grade pupils in 1932 was followed
year by year until all were out of school. There were 34
who repeated the first grade the following year. Only five .
of the 34 reached high school and three of them remained
to graduate.
18. The school program is based upon the theory that
a child will complete a grade of school work for each year
he is in school, but other grades besides the first were
difficult for some of these children. Twenty repeated the
second grade, fifteen repeated the third, twelve the fourth,
and ten repeated the fifth grade. There was a spread of
seven years between the time the first child entered the
fifth grade and the time the last pupil was promoted to it.
The senior class received 66 of the 172 pupils who were all
together in the first grade. Because so many of them had
repeated grades in the elementary school one graduated
in 1943; 51 in 1944, 10 in 1945, one in 1946,'and three in 1947.
RECOMMENDATIONS
1. One can only repeat what the school committee has
been saying for the past twenty years. The most pressing
school problem for the Town of Barnstable is to provide
an adequate elementary school building for Hyannis.
The complete school does not need to be built now but
it should be planned for now and planned in such a way
that additions may be made without structural changes
being necessary in that part of the building that was con-
structed previously.
The minimum number of classrooms to be included in
the plan would be three for each of the six grades, or 18
260
rooms. Kindergarten classes should be included. The
pupil progress tables in Barnstable show that kindergarten
classes should be included, so two additional rooms, planned
for kindergarten classes, should be added. A building of
this size is needed for Hyannis pupils alone.
Six more classrooms should be added if the pupils now
transported to the outside schools were taken instead to
the central school. Paraphrasing the statement of a former
school committee when it was recommended that some
schools be closed: "This probably could not be done with-
out a remonstrance on the part of the people in those sec-
tions but the children would be perfectly satisfied." There
is no question but what it would be better for them to be
part of the larger school organization.
2. Again one can only repeat what the school com-
mittee has frequently stated: "An adequate plot of land
on the Northwest part of Hyannis should be purchased
now." Several possible sites are available.
Strayer and Engelhardt Standards for an elementary
school site include such specifications as:
a. "The site should be readily accessible through well
paved streets and sidewalks.
b. There should be ready access to service utilities
without excessive cost. Water, sewers, electric light and
power, gas, and telephone, are the needed services.
c. The environment should be inviting. The neighbor-
hood should be distinctly residential in character. There
should be a maximum of freedom from all business and
traffic distractions.
d. Large open spaces should be provided for outdoor
261
games for boys and girls. Areas for gardens, roads, and
parking space are required.
e. The optimum size of an elementary school building
remains to be determined, but the definite tendency is
towards enrollments of more than 750 pupils and toward
the spreading of buildings over wide areas.
f. It is unwise to plan an elementary school building
on less than five acres of land."
3. Since the town has already acquired the land for.
a playground at the junction of Bassett Lane and Bearse's
Way it would be quite desirable to secure for a school site
of five to ten acres to the north of this playground area.
The Town of Barnstable now holds title to land west and
north of the playground.
4. Probably second in importance in the list of school
building needs for the town of Barnstable is an enlargement
of the Osterville four, room school to a six room building.
This is the only one of the schools outside Hyannis where
the enrollment is increasing with pupils residing in the
neighborhood of the school.
If the device that is often followed of assigning the
children of three grades to two teachers by dividing the
middle grade is used, the pupils now attending the Osterville
School could be placed in four rooms making these classes:
Grade I and 13 from Grade II, a class of 35,
Grade III and 12 from Grade II, a class of 36,
Grade IV and 9 from Grade V, a class of 32,
Grade VI and 9 from Grade V, a class of 31.
If the 33 pupils now transported to Osterville were
taken to some other school the enrollments in the four
rooms would be 25, 27, 24, and 26.
262
The answer to the teacher who objects to having a split
gradeoin her room is that there is probably a greater differ-
ence between the best and the poorest pupils in any one
grade than there is between the best pupils in the single
grade and the poorest pupils in the half of the divided grade
that is placed in the room.
5. Time will tell what should be the next step in the
school building program. The High School should have a
better gymnasium, the cafeteria is too small, and the
scheduling of classes is difficult because of the lack of space
either in the library or a study hall for pupils who are not
assigned to a class. However, these needs are much less
than the need for an elementary building at Hyannis and
two additional classrooms at Osterville."
Summaries and Excerpts from the Report of the
Elementary School Supervisor
During the past twenty-five years the program of
studies in a typical elementary school-has undergone con-
siderable change. As our culture grew more complex, new
pupil needs emerged and demanded attention. Alterations
in and additions to the traditional program were a neces-
sity; language arts, social studies, science and health, music,
and drawing were given a definite place in the schedule.
Emphasis swung from subject matter mastery to the guided
growth of the whole child.
Unfortunately, unreasonable discussion of these new
subject matter areas led many to believe that the present
day elementary school was ignoring or neglecting the two
basic subjects—reading and. arithmetic.
True, times and methods do change and our approach
to, as well as our techniques for handling,reading and arith-
metic are somewhat different from those in vogue a genera-
263
tion ago. However, they still receive major emphasis in
the elementary schools.
My purpose in the following is to clarify our present
point-of-view and method of handling these all-important
tool subjects. Wherever possible comparisons with the
situation a quarter of a century ago will be made.
As to reading:
Always vital, reading is today even more important
than in the period of the so-called reading schools. Our
purpose was theirs: to enable each pupil to, read with ease,
fluency, and meaning. Though, to.be honest, only here and
there was conscientious attention given to meaning. ,
We differ, therefore, not in purpose but in technique.
Our changes in method are based upon the acceptance of
the fact that all boys and girls vary in native ability and
in physical and mental growth. Possibly the best way to
make this clear is to give you an over-view of reading as
taught in the past and then a brief picture of our present
approach to the problem.
In yesterday's schools, boys and girls passed in lock-
step fashion through the book assigned to a particular grade
level. Little or no attention was given to
1. individual differences,
2. vocabulary drill,
3. interest level,
4. auditory and visual discrimination,
5. comprehension, and
6. appraisal of growth.
All pupils read the same book at the same time. Sound
drills were a daily ritual. A preparatory silent reading
period came next. Then every child was "ready" to read
264
orally. Each child stood and read or did not read three
or four lines. If he succeeded, good; if not, too bad.
"Keeping the place" was all important. The emphasis
was on word calling and expression. Meaning was rarely
checked. No tests existed by which growth could be meas-
ured. Individual help was unknown aside from occasional
after-school sessions which were looked upon as punishment,
not help.
The situation has improved. Today we recognize that
boys and girls differ in reading ability as they differ in
everything else. Some master the so-called reading skills
with ease, others with difficulty. Authorities tell us that
in each grade there is a three to four year spread in read-
ing success. In other words, there are superior, average,
and slow readers in every classroom.
Better schools meet the challenge of this fact
1. by utilizing diagnostic reading tests which indicate
each pupil's reading level—his areas of strength
and his areas of weakness.
2. by creating—on the basis of test results supple-
mented by teacher observation—two or more reading
groups on each grade level. Such groups exist for
one purpose: ' to better meet the individual needs
of pupils. Too, they are flexible in nature and a
child may pass from one group to another as a par-
ticular need is' met and another becomes evident.
The advantages of small group organization are
a. that the child is working on his own level—with
materials difficult enough to challenge and simple
enough to-permit success; and
b. that since each group is fairly homogeneous, the
teacher can better meet the specific needs of
the group.
265
Donald Durrell, an authority on reading, says, "The
fact that a child is sitting in a room labeled grade
two,, grade four, or grade six is no indication that
he needs reading material of the level commonly
assigned to that particular grade."
3. by adopting a basic reading system which provides
systematic training in
a. word recognition,
b. word analysis (phonics)
c. phrasing, and
d. meaning (comprehension)
through the first six grades. Other advantages are
a controlled vocabulary, stories which meet the age
interest of the child, companion books which de-
velop needed skills, and unit tests which measure
the pupil's growth. Too, there are parallel books
on each level permitting relaxed successful reading
after each basic book.
In summary:
"Reading is a development process. All advance in reading
power is built upon steps which the child has already taken.
No child can be expected to learn to read well if whole
areas are skipped. The child must begin each successive
year at the reading level where he left off the year before."
(Gates)
As to arithmetic:
In the elementary schools of a generation ago the
arithmetic bill of fare was both indiscriminate and a test
of the pupil's retentive powers. As in our day the four
fundamentals and simple fractions were taught. However,
to this base was added a goodly portion of what now forms
the general arithmetic program in high school.
266
The actual number needs of boys and girls were rarely
taken into consideration and combinations necessary and
unnecessary, easy and difficult were served with an over-
lavish hand.
Too, the teaching of formal arithmetic began imme-
diately upon 'the child's entrance into school. Ready or
not, he was plunged into the mystery of number symbols.
The average pupil was bogged down by the process.
The arithmetic situation has improved a good deal.
Today, as a result of much research, we know the number
facts useful and necessary for success in business and
social life. These are taught cumulatively as the pupil in-
creases in maturity and is ready.
Boys and, girls differ in arithmetic ability in a single
classroom to such an extent that grouping, •similar to that
done in reading, has been the one way of meeting individual
needs.
At present, most elementary schools in the state are
following the curriculum suggestions of the Massachusetts
Department of Education. This is a healthy sign, for all
their suggestions are based on the results of the most recent
research and a study of better practices.
Only informal arithmetic is taught in grades one and
two. Those grades are reserved for readiness work. Num-
ber experiences are stressed. As Woody says,."The first
two years of the school life of the child should be for the
purpose of having meaningful experience rather than for
the purpose of fixing number facts and processes."
Our purposes are:
1. to defer the teaching of formal arithmetic until
the pupil is mature enough to grasp the essential
number facts without undue difficulty, and
267
2. to lay a foundation of understanding in which
figures have meaning and are not merely mys-.
terious symbols.
In grade three the teaching of formal arithmetic begins.
Addition and subtraction facts are presented in order of
importance and on a scale of increasing difficulty. The
teacher develops each fact in a true-to-life situation and
then drill is used until the fact and its reversal is mastered.
Each pupil's goal is one hundred per cent mastery.
In like fashion multiplication and short division are
handled in the fourth grade, long division in the fifth and
simple fractions in the sixth. Problems, using facts already
mastered, are part of the arithmetic program on each grade
level.
In summary: far from being neglected reading and
arithmetic are still the heart of the elementary school pro-
gram. In fact, due to a substantial increase in knowledge
of the problems involved in child growth and in technical
understanding our present day results are definitely su-
perior to those possible in years past.
Summaries and Excerpts from the Report of the
High School Principal
ENROLLMENT
The number of pupils enrolled shows a small increase
over last year. Most of this increase is in the senior high
school grades, and is due to veterans returning to complete
their high school education and to graduates returning for
further study.
PROGRAM OF STUDIES
In grades seven and eight, all pupils participate in
the same program, consisting of English, Social Studies,
268
Arithmetic, General Science, Physical Education, Free-
hand Drawing, Vocal Music, Guidance and Practical Arts
or Household Arts. Beginning in the ninth grade, each
pupil chooses his own program of studies according to his
desire to prepare for college, obtain a general academic
education, prepare for office work or obtain specific voca-
tional training in agriculture, boatbuilding, machine shop,
carpentry or household arts.
The following table shows the number of pupils en-
rolled in each course on December 1:

This year a course in music theory was added to the
program of studies in the twelfth grade, and personal
problems was extended from a half year subject to a full
year subject.
COLLEGE PREPARATION
Methods of gaining admission to college have changed
considerably during the past year. The New England
College Admissions Board for over forty years published
a list of approved schools whose graduates were allowed
-269
to enter college without taking entrance examinations.
The New England College Admissions Board has recently
been dissolved, and each college now handles the admission
of students according to its own individual plan. While
the pupil's school record and the principal's recommenda-
tion are still of great importance, most colleges now require
all applicants to take the Scholastic Aptitude Test given by
the College Entrance Examination Board. Because of the
overcrowded condition of most colleges, all seniors are
advised to file admission applications at an early date with
at least three colleges. One college which can admit 1700
students in September 1948 has already received over 4000
applications.
Eighteen graduates of the class of 1947 are now attend-
ing the following institutions of higher education: Florida
Southern College (2), University of Vermont, Bridgewater
Teachers College (4), Vermont Junior. College, Simmons
College, Cornell University, Radcliffe College, University
of Connecticut, Emmanuel College, College of St. Elizabeth,
Boston University, Massachusetts Maritime Academy (2)
and Wentworth Institute.
Our high school is rated a Class A school by the State
Department of Education.
Any graduate who maintains a mark of A or B in each
subject is recommended for admission to college. We are
proud that Barnstable High School graduates are making
excellent records in colleges.
GUIDANCE
While disagreement exists among educators concern-
ing many phases of education, there is general agreement
concerning the 'necessity and desirability of a guidance
program.
One of the chief aims of the guidance program in
270
Barnstable High School is the discovery of the interests and
abilities of our pupils, relating these interests and abilities
to the work offered in our high school, and eventually
relating the abilities and interests discovered to a life goal.
One of the means used to discover interests and abilities
is the use of standardized tests.
During the past year seventh grade pupils have taken
an intelligence test; eighth grade pupils have taken tests of
number ability, verbal meaning, spatial relations, word
fluency, reasoning, memory and mechanical aptitude. In
addition, all- eighth grade pupils have taken -an interest
test. Pupils in grades nine, ten, eleven and twelve have
taken a battery of achievement tests including social studies
background, science background, quantitative thinking,
correctness in writing, general vocabulary, and various read-
ing tests. In addition, pupils in grade eleven have taken
a scholastic aptitude test,' and twelfth grade pupils have
taken an interest test.
Since all .tests which a pupil takes in the Barnstable
schools from grade one through grade twelve are filed in
an individual pupil folder, a good picture of the pupil's
abilities is available by the time he is ready to select an
occupation or an institution of higher learning. In in-
dividual cases, aptitude tests have been administered to
pupils who have expressed an interest in certain fields of
endeavor, but were doubtful as to whether they possessed
the necessary qualifications.
The guidance director has held numerous conferences
with pupils who were maladjusted for one reason or an-
other. In some of these cases, parents were called in and
satisfactory solutions of problems worked out. All parents
are cordially invited to consult the guidance director.
Our group guidance classes have been continued with
emphasis in the seventh grade on orientation to the school.
Eighth grade classes concentrate on studying themselves
271
and then adapting their interests and abilities to the choice
of a ninth grade course of study. Personal guidance is
offered to pupils in the twelfth grade in our Personal Prob-
lems class.
As we look into the future, we recognize that one of
the problems of our school is to develop techniques for
adapting the school program to meet the needs of individual
pupils. With an enrollment of about 750 pupils, it is evi-
dent that this is beyond the ability of one person. We
ought to have certain faculty members responsible for the
guidance of individual pupils.
SCHOOL ACTIVITIES
Publication of The Clipper (school magazine) and The
Barnacle (senior yearbook) has been continued. Both pub-'
lications showed marked improvement over any previous
year. In a nationwide contest conducted by the Columbia
Scholastic Press Association, The Clipper was awarded
second prize, and The Barnacle was awarded first prize.
The outstanding musical activity of the year was the
presentation in March of two performances of the Gilbert
and Sullivan operetta, "H. M. S. Pinafore". In March,
thirty-three pupils attended the New England Music Festival
at Brattleboro, Vermont. The band participated in the
Eastern Massachusetts Music Festival held at Medford in
May. In December a joint concert by the orchestra, glee
clubs and band assisted by the twirling corps was favorably
received by a large audience. During the fall, the band
instituted a drive to raise money to replace the present
uniforms which were purchased in 1935. Two thirds of the
amount needed has already been raised.
I wish to express my appreciation to the many individu-
als and organizations who have assisted the school during
the past year. In conclusion, I extend to the Superintendent,
the School Committee and the members of the faculty my
sincere thanks for their assistance and co-operation.
272
Summaries and Excerpts from the Report of the
Director of Vocational Education
State aided vocational education is an important phase
of the Barnstable public school system. The boat building,
carpentry, and machine shop courses comprise the Barn-
stable Trade School to date. These courses together with
vocational agriculture provide practical training for about
seventy-five boys.
For the girls, we have the Vocational Household Arts
course which is prepared to train many more girls for a
variety of positions than are taking advantage of it at the
preesnt time.
In all of these courses, the Massachusetts Department
of Education prescribes the general set up and assists in the
cost of operation.
Any vocational school has to depend upon the com-
munity in a large measure to provide the jobs through
which trade training is possible. All departments are glad
to receive requests for articles or jobs from citizens and
organizations. To provide a businesslike basis and to
reduce the net operating expense, a small labor charge in
addition to cost of stock is made on all products produced.
The Boat Building Department accepts orders for skiffs,
dories and other small boats. The Carpentry Department
wants the opportunity to construct garages, small houses,
or other buildings. And the machine Shop stands ready
to produce the wide variety of turned and milled metal
articles which normally come from such a shop.
We have as yet only scratched the surface of the
vocational schooling possibilities for the Cape. A trade
school building is an urgent necessity for, the expansion
that is pressing. The State Department of Education rec-
273
ognizcs the Barnstable Trade School as an area school to
serve Cape Cod. Adequate tuition is paid to the Town of
Barnstable for all students coming from other towns. This
should- increase the enrollment to sufficient numbers to
warrant several additional courses as soon as we can provide
for them. Automobile mechanics, plumbing, and electrical
work are already urgent and others will follow.
Education does not stop with graduation from school.
Various evening school courses offer training to veterans
and others. We have operated during 1947 classes for
veterans with funds supplied largely by the Commonwealth ,
to allow them to complete their high school education or
prepare for college. These courses are not being utilized
to the extent they should be.
Theory classes in plumbing and electricity are being
conducted for veterans and others who are, apprentices at
the trades mentioned.
One half the time of one of our agricultural instructors
is now used for training veterans on farms and in allied
work. This is a co-operative plan with seventeen veterans
enrolled from the central Cape area. The instructor visits
each-veteran once a week at his place of work. In addition
to this, they gather'for at least fifty hours of classroom
instruction during the year.
The Trade School, through its director, still serves as
the representative of the State Department of Education
for the approval of firms for On-the-Job-Training for vet-
erans for the whole Cape. While the demand for new,
training opportunities has decreased, supervision of all
programs, previously approved, is conducted as usual and
will continue for at least two years.

Summaxles and Excerpts from the Combined Report of the
School Physician and the School Nurse
With the appointment in January 1947 of a school
physician, a change in policy of the school Health Examina-
tion was inaugurated. It was felt that a more thorough
physical examination would be of greater benefit to the
school child. Therefore under the present program each
child will receive four complete physical examinations dur-
ing his school life in the schools of Barnstable. All chil-
dren with correctable defects will be checked annually
until maximum improvement is made. Special examinations
are made of children showing serious defects, exposure to
contagious disease and on returning to school from prolonged
illness.
This system has been in effect during 1947 and a
number of defects have been noted and are now under
treatment, namely—Orthopedic defects, flat feet, curvature
of the spine, 'defective teeth, heart murmurs, and Tuber-
culosis.
Facilities that'are available to the School Health Pro
gram for,the correction of defects and other problems are
1. Child Guidance Clinic
Town Building, Hyannis

Examination of candidates for athletic teams was done
to make sure that they were physically fit for such com-
petitive exercises.
A physical examination of all school-bus drivers was
carried out during the spring of 1947.
The ears were tested by use of the Audiometer in
grades 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, and 11. Children found with poor
hearing were referred to the Mass. Eye and Ear Infirmary,
Boston; Massachusetts.
The eyes of every student are ,examined annually, and
parents are notified if defective vision is found. The eye
clinic sponsored by the District Nursing Association, is
available for the school children in the Town of Barnstable.
Posture pictures of every child from the first through
the sixth grades were taken by Mr. William P. Bangs upon
his return from the service.
Mr. Vernon Bearse conducted special posture exercises
for students in the elementary schools who needed correc-
tion in their posture habits.
Children in the elementary grades are weighed three
times a year and in the high school twice a year. These
weight records are used by the doctor for diagnostic purpose
and by the nurse and teacher as a means of checking
individual growth progress.
Periodic classroom inspections are made by the nurse
and teachers are on the alert for symptoms of illness and
communicable disease.
As no dental clinic was held this year the Board of
Health, the only' agency in town authorized to hold clinics
for corrective work, obtained the service of Dr. Benjamin
276
A. Kepnes, for a dental examination of school children
from grades one through eleven. The results of this survey,
showed that of 1200 examined, 1075 children needed dental
attention.
Through the combined efforts of the Board,6f Health,
District Nursing Association, and the School Health De-
partment, Toxoid Clinics were held for pre-school and school
children.
Pre-school clinics were held in May and all children
planning to attend school in September were urged to be
present for their pre-school physical examination. There
was a total of 96 children present at these clinics.
The public schools share with other social and health
institutions the responsibility for promoting individual
family and community health. Since the essential purpose
of the school is education, the emphasis and the method of
the school in any health program is essentially educational.
The entire service program should be looked upon as an
adventure in learning to live healthfully.
We wish to take this opportunity to express our appre-
ciation to the family physicians and health and welfare
organizations who have co-operated so splendidly with the
School Health Program. -
CONCLUSION
It has been a pleasure throughout the year to continue
to meet parents and to discuss their individual school
problems on these occasions. We appreciate the confidence
and the cordiality these individuals have extended toward
school matters.
The friendly interest, assistance, and cooperation of
the townspeople of Barnstable, of the School Committee and
school employees, and of various other town departments
and organizations are hereby gratefully recognized.
Respectfully submitted,
MELVIN C. KNIGHT
