All indications are that <br /> this will be the best choice for the main entrance, as it is <br /> more convenient to walk into theparkfrom this point and <br /> will allow for gradual revelation of displays within the park <br /> and along the trails. <br /> The Job Corpsmen arrived in Mashpee on November 4, <br /> 1968 to begin the initial brush clearing for us and opened up <br /> the lower slope of the park high ground. Although they <br /> ' worked for us for only two weeks a great deal of progress <br /> was made. A difficult job was accomplished with the added <br /> J help from some of our prominent men and boys in our town: <br /> Fire Chief, Warren Hicks; Police Chief, George G.

We <br /> are hopeful that warmer weather will encourage volunteers <br /> to help this spring. <br /> In establishing the center of town as the scene for most <br /> of our centennial celebration, we have considered the neces- <br /> sity of having this area designated as a HISTORIC DISTRICT <br />' and work toward restoring it as such. <br /> Not only will it become a favorite attraction for tourists, <br /> (such as the historic district in Sandwich) but also the pride <br /> of Mashpee; by preserving the character and reflection of it's <br /> historic past; further, we believe that the townspeople will <br /> truly appreciate the end results and the idea that this is a <br /> diving part of our community life. <br /> It is our desire at the Centennial Committee to present a <br /> noteworthy program during the celebration.

Strip maps will be available to <br /> I show areas of .attractions thruout the Town. All displays <br /> j in the park area will be authentic and will be; made by <br />
