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. Kiwanians Plan To Organize Explorer Scouts 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. Barnstable's Village Hall Purchased By Comedy Club 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."
