The cover shows one of the beautiful areas in East Orleans. In the back-
ground is meeting House Pond with the River leading to Kent's Point, which "
is shown in the foreground. These waters support boating activities for visi-
tors and residents during the boating season with local fisherman utilizing
the area year round.

During his younger years Jack 011ivier worked at the French Cable Station, for local cranberry
growers and a local tree company. He served the Town of Orleans as Tree Warden from 1942 to
1973 and also held the positions of Superintendent of Moth Work, Insect Pest Control Superintendent
and Deputy Forest Warden at various times during the same period. Jack also served the Town for
26 years on the Conservation Commission and seven years on the Town Forest Committee and the
Orleans Volunteer Fire Department.
1, Jack was an advocate of conservation and open space preservation long before it became the move-
ment that it is today. He served as Supervisor and Treasurer of the Cape Cod Conservation District.
Y..
One of Jack's most notable achievements was the planting of over a thousand trees along the
byways of Orleans. The flowering Kwanzan cherry tree is just one of the varieties he planted to help
%W beautify the Town.
Each spring when we drive through Orleans and witness the spectacular burst of color from the
cherry trees,we will be reminded that Jack 011ivier's foresight has helped make Orleans the beautiful
' Town it is today.
