On invitation of the Town of Barn-

ments
Dr. Cole, who made an extensive
trip behind the Iron Curtain In I860,
Will address tho more than 160
members of tho Class of 1001 on
"Tho Bouncing Ball".
Although ho may refer to what he
saw and recorded Inside tho Soviet
Union, ho told the Patriot today that
the theme of his talk ' to tho gradu-
ates will develop a theory of Branch
Rickey, long-time general manager
of tho Brooklyn Dodgers, that "a
lilt ball may bo allowed to make
one bounce under some circum-
stances, but never twice. Tho really
good player charges In and taken
tho ball before It hits tho ground."
Tho same rule should be practiced
by high school graduates, Dr. Cole
believes, as they enter a new phase
of life .

BARNSTABLE TIDES
Kennedy'
s Visi t A Quiet One
PRESIDENT KENNEDY BOARDS HIS PLANE
President John F. Kennedy flew out of Barnstable Municipal Airport at 3:03 p.m. Memorial Day after
spending the holiday week end at the Hyannis Port home of his father , Joseph P. Kennedy. It was raining
when he boarded his Air Force DC-6B for the flight to New York . He turned briefly to wove and smile to
ttie crowd of some 260 weUwishers and then with grave face walked into the plane.
President Kennedy's comings and
goings this past holiday weekend
created little more than a normal
amount of traffic around the Town
of Barnstable for a holiday period.
Barnstable Police Chief Albert L.
Hinckley and State Police officials
reported what small crowds there
were as "orderly and considerate."
In fact, the Hyannis Port area,
Itself , where the President stayed
at his father's home, was far quiet-
er than expected. As one delivery
service operator put U, "There
were only a few dor.cn people
around the Port streets at any time
during the President's visit and
they were mostly police or Secret
Service men."
At no time when the President
flew in or out of Barnstable Munici-
pal Airport were there more than
400 people on hand and when he
left Memorial Day on the first leg
of his historic journey to Europe
not more than 260 people came to
bid him fond farewell.
However, it was pointed out by
police, that this past weekend of the
President's visit could not be taken
as a criterion of what the crowds
may be like this summer when the
tourist season Is in full swing. The
President's anticipated visits then
and his planned August vacation
here may well draw substantial
crowds trom time to time.
It was obvious that weather was
a big factor over tho holiday In
keeping crowds down to a rather
quiet level. Cold temperatures and
considerable rain discouraged many
from coming to the Cape at all.
Many who did visit were leaving as
early as Memorial Day morning.
Rain, it so turned out, had a habit
of coming down In buckets almost
every time the President was arriv-
ing or leaving in his plane. It ruined
while he was readying for takeoff
at the airport Memorial Day after-
noon. But the sun broke through
almost as soon as his plane was
airborne.
Historical Society of the Town of
Barnstable will meet June 8 at the
Unitarian Parish Hall at 8 p.m.
Plans for the Tour of Old Houses in
tho village of Barnstable to be spon-
sored by this group to help with the
support of the Donald O. Trayser
Historical Museum, situated In the
village of Barnstable, in the Old
Customs House, will be discussed.
A colored film depicting the work
of the Society of Cape Cod Crafts-
man will be shown by Quentln Mun-
son. A copy of the by-laws of the
Society will be available for each
member. This Society was es-
tablished for the Town of Barn-
stable, and new members are al-
ways welcome. Mrs. Donald Tray-
ser is president of the Society.

Highlight of all Cape Cod's Me-
morial Day exercises was at Beech-
wood Cemetery, Centervllle, where
veteran Hyannis Attorney Henry A.
Ellis delivered a resounding address
in which he, a strong Republican,
called for support of President Ken-
nedy "regardless of porty."
Speaking to a crowd estimated at
close to a thousand Mr. Ellis said,
"We all owe our allegiance to Presi-
dent Kennedy. You must back him.
You owe It to him in the great chal-
lenges he must face and the Im-
portant work he must do. Whether
you like him or not, whether you
are Democrat or Republican, you
must pray for him and for his suc-
cess In the all Important mission
he Is undertaking. For if he fails,
we all faU. "
The Town of Barnstable Memorial
Day observances, climaxed at Cen-
tervllle, began with a parade.
Starting at the Centervllle Fire
Station at 10:30 a.m., paraders fol-
lowed a route to Beechwood Ceme-
tery, stopping first at the memorial
In the center of the village to hear
an address by Selectman E. Thomas
Murphy.
Winners of an essay contest en-
titled, "What Memorial Day Means
To Me," read their themes. They
were Ivar Moore of Centervllle and
Judy Leonard
, of Ostervllle.
Invocation was given by the Rev.
Warren H. Johnson of the South
Congregational Church In Center-
vllle. Parade marshal was Joseph
J. Silvia at Barnstable American
Legion Post, No. 206.
At Ostervllle, more than 260 par-
ents and friends witnessed exer-
cises put on by the Ostervllle
Elementary School. This was the
final program by the school chil-
dren at the memorial marker at
Main Street and East Bay Road,
since the school body will move in
to the new school on Bumps Rlvei
Road next September.
