The Board organized on March 8, 1940 with the same officers as last year. The second and last Tuesdays were then voted as regular pay days and Monday and Thursday of each week as welfare days. Mrs. M. P. Dunford was appointed as office clerk and Assistant Assessor. Mrs. Mildred Whittemore was appointed wel- fare investigator and as a member of the Board of Old Age Assistance. The departmental reports are printed herewith and the State Auditor's report is appended. There has been no W. P. A. work in Dennis since last spring but we are now able to get a limited number of men on the road work at Bourne. We have been un- able to do any of the" sidewalk work planned in the Town Meeting. We have received food and clothing this year to the amount of $6,276.57. This is an increase of $2,123.01 over the previous yes,r and nearing the close of 1940 food seemed to be arriving in greater quantities than earlier in the year. Needless to say, this has been of great help and value, as the expense to the Town in connection with this work consists only of trucking charges and heat in the commodity storage and dis- tribution headquarters. Lack of W. P. A. work projects during the fall months of 1940 was more than offset by the demand for both skilled and unskilled workmen at Camp Ed- wards. This was of considerable financial value to the Town as it kept many able-bodied men off of relief. -7- Public Welfare expenditures for the year are slightly more than for the year previous. This is due mostly to sickness and hospital cases, also the fact that chronic cases of illness that require continual care seem to be on the increase. At the present time we are boarding nine cases of Welfare and O. A. A. combined in convalescent homes and it may be interesting to know, that three of these convalescent homes that we patronize are not in Dennis but are located in neighbor- ing towns. The light cranberry crop was also a bad set back to the 1940 Welfare situation. That rather left it up to Camp Edwards and the shellfish industry to keep the working man on his own. In regard to the shellfish conditions, we call your attention to the report submitted by Mr. Gay,and Mr. Kelley as Shellfish Constabes for 1940. The figures- mentioned are correct or an excellent estimate, and show an excellent picture of the shellfish activities and conditions for the past year. We feel that particular emphasis should be given to two points brought out in this report, namely the contribution from the State, and the shortage of qua- hog seed. It is apparent that the State is willing to help towns that are showing interest and progress in their shellfish work. We have shown steady improve- ment for the last nine years and with our increased appropriations the State have increased their contribu- tions and support. Our employment of a full-time Shellfish Constable for this work has been highly ap- proved by the division of Marine Fisheries. From the best information we can get from the Shellfish Con- stable, inspectors from the State, and from the fisher- men, we are of the opinion that we face a shortage in our natural supply of quahog seed, and to continue cur usual program of seeding and closing certain areas it may be necessary to purchase seed quahogs in 1941. Mr. Gay and Mr. Kelley should be complimented for their interest and success in their work during this past year. Board of Health and Sanitation problems have caused very little troube. It is apparent that in the future the State Board of Health will be much closer to the Tourist Camp situations and will be of great help to the towns in keeping trouble at a minimum: Garbage disposal causes more headaches than any- thing else. We found it necessary to keep the Town Dump open Sundays for several weeks during the hot weather. Mr. Smith, the Dump Keeper, did good work; but in our opinion is very much underpaid. We recommend a substantial increase in the Sanitation Appropriation. Old Age Assistance and Aid to Dependent Chil- dren cases show very little change during the year. New cases have naturally been added but the loss through death, removed from town, and a few cases of employment have left the result at the end of 1940 about the same as the previous year. In regard to the Moth Appropriation, we have been warned by the Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce that the Dutch Elm Beetle is prevalent in the Cape towns, and that plans should be made to spray for this pest this year if the Elm trees are to be saved. This would mean an increase in our appropriation. After twenty five years of faithful service as a Town Clerk, Treasurer and Tax Collector, Mr. Benja- min F. Sears was elected Registrar of Deeds at the November election. His ability, knowledge and good fellowship will be greatly missed by Town Officials, and citizens in general. -9- A testimonial banquet in recognition of Mr. Sears' services was tendered him at the Hyannis Inn late in December attended by Town Officials past and present, County officers and other friends, including the Hon- orable Henry F. Long, State Tax Commissioner, a per- sonal friend of Mr. Sears, and other officials of long^ standing'. Remarks by Mr. Long and others followed a real Hyannis Inn steak dinner and Mr. Sears can well be proud of this tribute paid him, for his long career as a Dennis official. In closing we wish to thank all the Town officials for their splendid cooperation during the year. Respectfully submitted, I. GRAFTON HOWES CLARENCE M. NICKERSON HENRY N.

    Performing Conformity, Unleashing Craft: Female Vocalists of Postwar Pop, 1945-1956 Sarah Elizabeth Culpeper Charlottesville, Virginia B.A., University of Toronto, 1998 B.F.A., Concordia University, 2002 M.A., McGill University, 2005 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Music University of Virginia December, 2013 Abstract Performing Conformity, Unleashing Craft: Female Vocalists of Postwar Pop, 1945-1956 By Sarah Elizabeth Culpeper This dissertation centers on female postwar pop singers and the hit records they made between the years 1945 and 1956. I consider the vocal styles of Doris Day, Patti Page and Mary Ford in combination with the personae and images they projected through records and other media. The project serves in part to document and recuperate the sometimes-disparaged genre of postwar pop, and to restore its neglected female singers to popular music history narratives. I glean my understanding of the singing voice from pedagogy and science literature, and from these sources I build a technique-based analytical vocabulary for vocal style. I apply this vocabulary to close readings and interpretations of the singers’ hit recordings, and I bring my readings into dialogue with historical reception discourse. To understand how the singers may have resonated with postwar audiences beyond the vocal dimension, I connect the images they projected to historical scholarship about gender and sexuality in postwar America. All three singers presented a degree of conformity while also complicating the era’s mores. Day never transgressed norms of postwar sexual propriety, yet the discourse around her appeal suggests that audiences found her sexually desirable.

One likely “seed-cause”: I remember learning how to whistle to an album titled “Mitch’s Marches—Mitch Miller and His Orchestra”. (There have been many songs since then that I remembered by whistling them to myself until I knew the basic melody.) Also, during the years when I was 8-10 years old, I saw the plays “The Music Man” and “The Sound of Music”, and saw the movie “Mary Poppins”.

  • Dwelling in the Dunes: Traditional Use of the Dune Shacks
    Dwelling in the Dunes: Traditional Use of the Dune Shacks of the Peaked Hill Bars Historic District, Cape Cod Robert J. Wolfe Final Report for the Research Project, “Traditional Cultural Significance of the Dune Shacks Historic District, Cape Cod National Seashore” (No. P4506040200), Supported by the National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior August 2005 Cover Picture: Theo Cozzi Poulin, Kathie Joseph Meads, Maureen Joseph Hurst, and Susan Leonard at the Tasha Shack in the Peaked Hill Bars Historic District, Cape Cod National Seashore, August, 2004. Picture by Robert J. Wolfe. Abstract: Dwelling in the Dunes This ethnographic report provides a picture of the traditions and cultural patterns of the dune dwellers living in shacks in the Peaked Hill Bars Historic District, Cape Cod National Seashore, Massachusetts. The report describes the seasonal settlement of dune dwellers, and documents their traditional cultural practices, beliefs, customs, and histories that are linked to the shacks and the historic district. Information for the report primarily derives from direct observations on the lower cape and formal interviews with 47 shack residents during August and September, 2004.
