Almost everybody turns out

August 10 this year,. The gay
and fantastic costumes express

Provincetown: Bright, tolerant

something of this atmosphere
ever since the Pilgrims went on

can tell you. they came here
first. signed the Mayfiower Com

Mixed in with the 18th century
fishermen who came here to live
were pirates, freebooters and
smugglers. The artists started
to come in the 1905, the thea
ter people and writer's around
,19l5. Though Provincetown is
orderly, it is not staid or stuffy
and the Town Hall not only
houses historic relics, police
headquarters and the jail, but
is the setting for the two big
costume balls.
Away From 1t All
Yet just a short walk Cor

are miles of nature unretouched
except by wind and sea. Hop
into a beach buggy"-a car with
special huge tires-and ride out
into the dunes. You might be a
thousand miles away, lost amid
hills and valleys of brown-gold
sand.
On this dune side of Province
town, the surf booms in and the
Atlantic is menacing-except to
fishermen who find the lonely
beaches perfect for surf-casting.
On the harbor beaches, the
Atlantic is warm and tame. how
ever, New Beach, stretching
along Cape Cod Bay, has both
surf bathing and general swim
ming, depending on the tides,
and a big new public bathhouse.
You can drive past these long
beaches, or see them from the
deck Of a schooner or a deep-sea
fishing boat.

ing, for those are pastimes all
along the cape. Provincetown
has something more. A vacation
here at lands end, looking of
to Spain 5000 miles across the
water, is unlike any other vaca-
ton. The town is different, the
people are different, so is the
atmosphere.
"P'town" itself is only two
streets wide and 3 miles long"
Commercial street, narrow and
curving, winds for those miles
along the harbor, from way up
along" with its old white houses,
picket fences and proud rose
gardens, to the center of town
and on out way down-along,
past beach apartments, studios,
art galleries, even a night club.
First Street Protested
In the early days, there were
no streets, horses of wagons: the
houses all faced the harbor, and
each family made a path through
the sand to its fishing boat,
which was the only tranSporta-
ton. When Commercial street,
then Front street, was laid out,
bitter were the protests of the
householders who felt they had
to turn their front doors to the
street (some never did. Many
of the old buildings. weathered
silver-gray or spic-and-span with
white paint, have been turned
into studio apartments and guest
houses.
Bradford is the other of the
two long streets, and connecting
it with Commercial are 40-odd
brief and picturesque roads and
lanes. Together. they spell end
less diversion for visitors.
On Commercial street, you can
buy a pair of handmade sandals,
q piece of modern sculpture,
driftwood, fried clans or the
latest novel. You can visit the
Historical Museum, stroll through
an art dealers or the Province
town Art Associations latest ex-
hibit.
Wide View From Tower
You can enter the garden
courtyard and the unique church
of st. Mary of the Harbor. dec-
Grated by Provincetown artists.
Just a few steps away you can
ascend the ramp of the 255-
foot high Pilgrim Memorial
Tower for a view of town, cape
and Atlantic.
At the Provincetown Play

career here. and have a drink
