TOWN TOPICS
Hyannis Klwanis Club Is working
with the Capo Cod Council, Boy
Scouts of America, to organize at
least five Explorer Units (Ships,
Posts, or Squadrons) in the Town
of Barnstable.
The project is assigned to the
Boys and Girls Committee, Howard
G. Doane, Jr., chairman , who has
been working with Harmon W.
Smith , scout executive. Mr. Doane
has arranged to kick off the project
at the Sept. 27 meeting of the club.
Richard T. Wales of Harwich
Port , Region One Deputy Reglonul
Scout Executive and a field repre-
sentative for the Boy Scouts of
America , will be the principal
speaker . He will discuss the vital
importance of the Explorer Pro-
gram for high school age boys.
Sheriff Donald P. Tulloch will
point out the needs for this older
boy program In the central part oi
the Cape and members of the Coun-
cil will outline steps to be taken
in the project.
There ure approximately 450 high
school boys ln Barnstable at the
present time. "Many of these boy:
would enjoy the program of Ex-
ploring if they were given the op-
portunity, " Mr. Smith declared.
In July a number of Explorer:
from this area Journeyed to Phll-
mont Scout Ranch , Cimarron , Ne\
Mexico, and for two weeks experi-
enced a high adventure activity
they will never forget. During the
.spring Cape Explorers participated
in a four-day conference with other
Explorers from Region One (New
England) at Fort Devens.

Mrs. Barbara Cotton, president
of the Barnstable Woman 's Club,
announced today sale of the 40-year-
old Village Hall, its clubhouse alnce
the early 1920's to the Barnstable
Comedy Club. The sale price was
$13,000.
The large frame building at the
comer of Main Street and Railroad
Avenue has been used for some
years by the Comedy Club nB a
drama "workshop" and theater.
Kurt Vonnugut , president of the
Comedy Club, hulled the purchase
as a "great boost" ln morale for
his organization.
If the building, which served an
Barnstable 's village hull ln Us early
years, had been sold to anyone else,
ho said, "the Comedy club would
have been homeless."
"The Comedy Club is very grati-
fied," he said, "that this decision
has been made, It Is most reassur-
ing to know that we have a perma-
nent home and we feel lt Is n vory
good thing for the community, as
well.
"One thing is certain. The Com-
edy Club will maintain traditional
usage of the building while, at the
some time, bo looking forward to
its Improvement."
At a meeting in the hall last
night, the theater group approved
appointment ol nn architectural
committee headed by Peter
PJUNtaco.

Taking a long look at police
problems that confronted the Barn-
stable Police Department tills last
lurnmer, chief Albert L. Hinckley
smoothed down his greying hair
odny and allowed that the presence
of assorted Kennedys, Including the
President and a number of highly
distinguished guests at the summer
white house had nothing to do with
Hyannis traffic headaches.
"H Hyannis and Hyannis Port
were Jammed with cars it was Just
because , what with the fine weather
and all, an awful lot of people made
a point of visiting here. I don't at-
tribute it at all Just to Hyannis
Port. There Just was a noticeable
increase of people coming hero. It
was a busy .summer."
He made lt souud like the under-
statement of 10G1, considering the
motorists confused by one-way
traffic on Main and South Streets
nnd the thousands of sightseers
eager for a chance to goggle at the
Presidential family.
"The fence surrounding the com-
pound was a good idea," conceded
Chief Hinckley, "to guarantee
privacy but no casual visitors over
got even close to that fence be-
cause of the size of the security
perimeter."
He had high praise for the 20
young, "special" .summer officers
that were employed under Civil
Service for three months.
They did n'fine Job he Maid. Some
wero X-^i^yod, of ccur «jji to Hy-
annis Port or, as more often the
case, relieved veteran Hyannis
patrolmen assigned to the Ken-
nedy area from the Barnstable
force.
"It is not easy to find able and
qualified young men to cope with
criminal law," Chief Hinckley
said , "but we had some fine young
men—law students, teachers and
well-adjusted college men. They
did fine I"
Admittedly, thero was consider-
ably more traffic than normal
through Hyannis Port, Chief Hinck-
ley admitted , but the no parking
ban on main thoroughfares kept
traffic moving smoothly, ho felt.
He denied knowledge of debris, in-
cluding beer cans, being thrown
from oars.
"On the whole," he added, "I
think that the presence of the
President attracts a better class
of people here, more families than
usual , Just as do other places of
historic interest such as Gettysburg
and Hyde Park." Except for the
parking ban on Main Street he sold
he doubled that residents of Hy-
annis Port were Inconvenienced
very much."
"It was Just that Uioy weren't
used to having so much traffic. "
The Chief , an expert on handling
traffic , last year received a certifi-
cate of achievement from the
American Automobile Association.
At the thnc, Hyannis had gone
three years without n pedestrian
fatality . He also was personally
invited by the President to attend
the inauguration In Washington.
On the problem of Juvenile
delinquency ho has some pretty
fixed Ideas. One Is that although
young people undoubtedly commit
felonies , "For every five vandals,
there are hundreds of fine , decent
young people whom you never
hear about."
Furthermore , lie said , most
trouble , if any, is caused by teen-
agers of 17 and 18, not by Juveniles
who are classlfed in Massachusetts
as being under 17. "In our courts,"
he added , "all Juveniles are given
consideration. They are given
every chance."
Young people who live on tho
Capo are, on tho whole, mighty
fine, the Chief believes. "It is the
outsiders who come hero withou t
parental supervision that some-
times cause trouble."
