First meeting of the recently
formed town advisory drug com-
mittee was this morning, June 24.
YMCA Camp Opens
For 4th Season
Sandwich selectmen recen 11 y
have approved 2 a.m. closings for
two liquor- vending establishments
in their town. Barnstable has had
three applications for the later clo-
sing hour , Velvet Hammer , Holi-
day Inn and Sheraton. Barnstable
County Sheriff Donald P. Tulloch
has expressed himself as being
much opposed to the extension.
Tentative date of June 25 has
been set for the start of the Barn-
stable school administrative offi-
ces move from old Osterville ele-
mentary to old Cape Cod Commu-
nity College dorm building, Hy-
annis.
Barnstable Water Company re-
ports that water pressure is about
10 pounds lower than they would
like and that all facilities arc op-
cratin g at full tilt due to the excep-
tional dryness of June.
Due to the recent rash of van-
dalism along Rt. 6A in Barnsta-
ble, full time police coverage, foot
and cruiser , has been extended to
the northslde.
Selectmen are scheduled to meet
for the first time with Steamship
Authority boatline officials July
23 at Sheraton Hyannis. The lun-
cheon meeting will probably in-
volve some "unbending, " in Se-
lectman E Thomas Murphy ' s
words , and perhaps preliminary
consideration of traffic and park-
ing problems created by the Au-
thorities entry into Hyannis.
Barnstable has made applica -
tion for a federal- state grant to
finance a management survey of
police manpower ni the town , A
comprehensive study of all as -
pects of the police operation , the
survey is expected to take two or
three months and co^l $26,33G , the
grant to cover $15,800.
The season has had less than
average fog until this past week ,
and John Flanagan of Hyannifc
happened to choose this time to
row around the Cape! He's been
iogbound at more than one port
and just might earn the nickname
"Foggy."
Bids are currently being receiv-
ed by selectmen for the razing of
the Lombard Home and its acces-
sory buildings. Closing date is
July 7.
Massachusetts DPW is adverti-
sing for bids on the resurfacing
of Routes 6 and 132 in the Town of
Barnstable. Contractors' deadline
for submitting figures is June 29
at 2 p.m.
We had orioles in the elms. But
after all that spraying one morn-
ing early, they left and haven't
been seen or heard around the
place since. Where did all the ori-
oles go?

Swimming Lessons
At 5 Town Beaches
To Start June 28
The long and illustrious life of
the Barnstable Inn which began
in 1799 will shortly come to a close.
The old stage coach lodging place ,
which has been in continuous oper-
ation throughout its years, will
fall victim to the wrecker 's ball
within a few weeks.
In January the inn with its sur-
rounding 12 acres was sold to Cen-
terville developer , Leonard Healy.
who following his acquisition had
several in-depth engineering sur-
veys made to determine if any at-
tempts to save the ancient struc-
ture , a landmark of Barnstable
Village 's Main Street , could be
successful.
According to Healy, the results
were most discouraging. Sills,
plates and main carrying timbers
beneath the building had rotted
nway and a badly leaking roof
lias all but destroyed the upper
stories . Ceilings have fallen , floors
are buckled and the interior stair-
eases are near collapse.
Plumbing and heating alone
would be a minimum of $125,000
to upgrade to today 's exacting
standards for public-use buildings.
As for the wiring and electric sur-
vey, Mr. Healy states he would
rather not discuss it except to say
that "How Barnstable Village es-
caped a huge conflagration 50
years ago is beyond me!"
From Yarmouth Port architect
Merwin Freeman's rende r i n g ,
plans are now being completed
lor the complex which will replace
Barnstable Inn. Occupying appro-
ximately the same site will be an
oyster house and restaurant , desi-
gned to "bring back memories of
the old inn. " Other buildings will
house a bank and 40 to 50 profes-
sional offices geared to the use of
attorneys , accountants, realto r s,
etc. No retail stores are planned
for the complex.-
The buildings will be in a court-
yard grouping similar to the Cap-
Iain 's Row in Yarmouth Port and
most of the office entries will be
irom within the landscaped court-
yard. The bank will have a drive-
up window , and traffic flow on
Main Street will be uninterupted '
because of the off-street parking
to the rear of the offices. There
is adequate space for 200 cars
with enough room for expansion
if necessary. Mr. Healy has taken
care to work around the huge
elms that border the property a-
long the street. The only tree to
be removed Is the one closest to
the present entrance to the inn,
which has been dead for several
years.
In summing up his project Mr.
Healy stated , "The proposed use
of the Barnstable Inn land should
prove an asset to an already beau-
tiful Cape Cod ' village. The con-
struction of the new buildings will
he of high quality and quite ex-
pensive from an upkeep and main-
tenance point of view, over the
years, to stay abreast of the gen-
eral 'cosmetics' required with this
type of structure."
Barnstable Inn To Be Razed
Barnstable Selectmen M u r p h y ,
Cross and Hoxie June 22 publicly
gave their support to the town 's
youth-in-crisis project HELP ot
Cape Cod.
Chairman E. Thomas Murphy,
at the town father 's weekly press
conference Tuesday, expressed his
hope that all citizens in the town
will finall y get behind HELP and
help them face the drug dlllema
in Barnstable.
The mid- Cape area m the last
three months has seen six drug
related deaths and at least (JO over-
doses.
In the month of May alone
HELP has dealt with 48 cases of
ferious drug abuse , nearly all in-
volving local youth , 30 pregnancy
cases, 31 psychiatric problems , 15
runaways , and seven suicides
Many assists were also given in
Breas of draft counseling, employ-
ment , family problems , housing,
legal counseling, educational di -
lection , medical , and alcohol.
New quarters for HELP have
been found , although the new lease
has not been signed. Lease at the
present storefront , G7G Main Str-
eet, Hyannis , expires the end of
June.
HELP Program Coordinator Su-
san Kintner , who took over direc-
tion oi the project early this spr-
ing from Mrs. Jean Carmol , spoke
to the press Willi selectmen 's per-
mission June 22 . She stressed the
changes the organization has un-
dergone.
HELP is now fully licensed by
Hie stilt..- as an approved drug fa-
cility. The courts , under state
laws 888 and 889, may now refer
juvenil e cases to HELP for coun-
seling and treatment.
Miss Kintner said the new fa-
cility when it opens, will not be a
hangout. It will only be open to
drop-ins in serious need , as a
counseling center , as the base of
operations for the 24-hour hotline.
Selectmen and press were ask-
ed to assist the operation in find-
ing a .doctor willing to start a gen-
eral medical clinic , a serious need
in the Barnstable community.
En conjunction with the other
Cape hotlines, HELP recently sent
a mimeographed bulletin to all
Massachusetts drop-in centers ur-
ging youth not to come to the
Cape this summer.
The bulletin points out the Cape
has not provided for youthful tra-
velers without money, there are
no crash accomodations. The ille-
gality of sleeping in the open and
similar laws are listed.

issued an early warning to pa -
rents of the danger to eyes, hands,
property, and even life from ille-
gal, bootleg fireworks being sold
or smuggled Into Massachusetts.

Terms of the contract lor dredg-
ing East Bay channel were met
June 27 and Hydro-Dredge Corpor-
ation of Falmouth , which has had
iron pipes and trucks on Dowse's
Beach , Osterville for several
weeks, removed its equipment last
weekend.
The responsibility for shifting
misplaced sand and leveling the
beach has fallen to the town , and
Selectman George Cross said that
Peter P. Cook. Inc., Osterville con-
tractors , had been chosen to do
the work.
Cook's bulldozer worked on
Dowses over ihe weekend, June 19
and 20, and was expected to spend
no more than three days on the
beach. More sand has been pushed
west toward the bath house and
a uniform beach slope toward the
water was established.
Completing work voted at 1968
iown meeting, Hydro-Dredge in
past weeks has pumped some
15,000 cubic yards of new sand out
of East Bay channel and onto
Dowse 's Beach. It was estimated
Uiat elevation has been raised
three feet and beach frontage in-
creased 50 to 75 feet.
Mr . Cross said that, because of
the fine texture of the new sand ,
he is considering erecting a snow
ience 30 or 40 feet west of the jetty
at Dowse's, It is hoped this would
keep the sand from blowing back
into the channel.
Also anticipated , according to
Cross, are plantings of beach grass
in cetain areas which were dis-
turbed during the dredging opera-
tion .

A NOVELTY NOWADAYS—Railroad passenger service to Cape Cod
was resumed for one day last Sunday when "The Day Cape fodder "
sponsored by Mystic Valley Railway Society tooted down to Hyannis
from Boston via Penn-Central's Attlcboro Taunton route. Several
hundred passengers were aboard when train stopped at abandoned
West Barnstable Depot. Scores of local residents and summer visitors
were on hand to greet the reminder of yesteryear. Passenger serv-
ice to the Cape ended over 12 years ago.
Cockle snails have invaded town
quahaug beds in alarming num-
Ders this spring and Barnstable
shellfish protectors have declared
all-out war.
The hungry, mobile mollusks
latch onto seed quahaugs, bore
tiny holes through the quahaug
shells and eat them.
According to deputy shellfish
warden Manuel Souza the biggest
problem at present is at Barnsta-
ble village quahaug beds, how -
ever the whole town is being af-
lected.
Souza said that traps baited with
smashed crabs will b3 set up im-
mediately, starting at the Barn-
stable beds , in an attempt to con-
trol the destructive movement of
the snails from quahaug to qua-
haug.
"We 're going to try and nip the
problem now ," said Souea , "be-
fore it gets out of hand. "
