Freedom of the press means no-iron clothes.

It's time to sign up for the Olde Cape Cod bus trip that Isabelle Bushart is offering. The trip is Oct. 18-22 and includes Hyannis, Kennedy Memorial, Provincetown, Sandwich, Plymouth Rock and a lobster dinner. Call 926.7764 for information and reservations.
