That the North Shore and people of the North Shore 
are to take active parts in the great “preparedness” move- 
ment #8 growing more in evidence every day. Aside from 
the gteat undertakings in the aviation line at Marblehead 
and the general interest in the Essex County Rifle club, 
also the naval “Plattsburg” in which John L. Saltonstall 
is so actively interested, there are a number of lesser in- 
stances of preparedness activities. For instance Geo. i. 
Cabot is having two wireless towers, 100 feet high, erected 
on his property on Smith’s Point. And a few days ago 
Mayor Benson of Salem, acting under authority of the 
city council, signed a lease of Gooseberry Islands to God- 
frey L. Cabot of Boston and Beverly Farms for Io years 
at a rental of $200 per annum. The islands are located 
between Bakers and Lowell Islands. Mr. Cabot is to_ 
establish there a base of operation for aviation corps allied 
with the Massachusetts Militia. Military authorities 
deem the Gooseberries ideal for aviation and heavy ord- 
nance purposes. Mr. Cabot has had a new aeroplane 
built and has nearly completed his course in flying at the 
Burgess Company school at Marblehead.
