Religious Order From Italy Now in America Buffalo, N. Y. (U.R) The Clerics Regular of St. Paul, a religious order founded in Italy in 1533 and more - commonly known as the Barnabite Fathers, will make its United States headquarters oa, a 35-acre site in Lewiston, just north of Buf falo along the Niagara River. Five of the priests already are located in this area, mark ing time until they can build their study house. Eventually they will teach in a diocesan high .school in western New York and staff the study house for American youths who de sire to enter their order. .The founder of the order, St. Anothony Maria Zaccaria, was a nobleman and physician who died in 1539 at the age of 37 after a priesthood of less than six years during which he in stituted the custom of "Forty Hours Devotion" and founded not only the order of priests end brothers but also a com munity of sisters, the Angelics of St. Paul. . Episcopalians Discuss Powers Honolulu, T. H. (U.R) A controversy over the powers of the presiding bishop split the general convention of the Pro testant Episcopal church today into two camps. Southern bishops moved to check the power of the Rev. Henry Knox Sherrill because he moved the convention from Hou ston, Tex., to Honolulu because of racial discrimination in Hou ston. The triennial- hardly started before several resolutions were introduced to curb Sherrill's right to change the meeting's location. The Rev. C. Gresham, Marm ion, Bishop of Kentucky, submit ted a resolution to keep future conventions on the mainland of the United States. The Rev. Charles E. Berger, Bishop of Maryland, proposed an amendment to the church's con stitution requiring Ihe presiding bishop to get approval of a ma jority of bishops in the United States before changing the con vention site. Delegates immediately de manded that adequate notice of a committee meeting to consid er Bishop Berger's resolution be posted and that the meeting be open to the public. In the opening .session Mon day 180 bishops and 654 deputies were seated as the official dele gates to the 12-day convention. The woman's auxiliary totaled 511 members.

' woFmelYooMi M. , arm "Mayflower" Sails Again British shipwrights and car penters are busy at ancient Brix ham, building a replica of the historic ship of the Pilgrim Fathers, under the direction of the noted American naval archi tect, W. A. Baker, of the Beth lehem Steel Corporation. The keel of . the original "May flower," hewn from a Devon for est, was laid at a Brixham yard 350 years ago. The new ship will next year sail the course followed by the first "Mayflower" 335 years ago, to Cape Cod and the Plymouth Harbor of New England's "stern and rockbound coast." Date is not decided. Many interesting items have sprouted from the main story. One is that tree crops thrive on the Devon woodlands after re peated cuttings as well as they do in our Douglas fir region. "A fine big stick," was the verdict of Steel Man Baker on the keel that had been hewn in the way of old from new timber, then brought in to be dressed and seasoned at Upham Ship yards. The keel laying was the first formal ceremony of the project. A British Mayflower descend ant, D. K. Winslow, retired Royal Navy officer, was given the honor of laying the keel. A Project Pattern The British are better than we are at such observances. Now and then as at the restoration of Lewis and Clark's Fort Clatsop, we properly honor our early pioneers. Usually, however, we commemorate pioneer life and times with parades and pageants that mean little or nothing. Or the men grow beards despite the simple fact that pioneers be fore the Civil war had no beards. In the Mother Country these observances are better managed. "The Mayflower Project" is the name of the program that is now well into the building stage at Brixham. It was thought up by British and American nota bles who have a mutual interest in fortifying friendship between the two countries. Official ap proval has come from both sides of the Atlantic but the financing has been altogether by public contributions. And so some day next year the "Mayflower" will sail again from Southampton, with "Pilgrims" aboard. Lumbermen should find work to do in this observance before it is too late. It seems a shame indeed to leave it entirely to a steel man even though he is evidently doing a bang-up job cf promoting a wood-ship proj ect. Land Won on Wood ... The Mayflower Project pro vides a pattern that should be studied in history-conscious Washington and Oregon. The early voyages of discovery and exploration along our coasts vere made on ships of wood. Nearly all of the ships bore away timbers from what Capt. George Vancouver called the world's best source of masts and spars. Many of the vessels were planked anew with Western red cedar. The first commercial building jobs in the region were those of building ships of native woods, on prefabricated frames. Capt John Meares built the "North west America" at Nootka Sound in 1788, and two years later Capt. Robert Gray's men . built the "Adventure" at Clayoquot Sound. Then in 1811 the Asto rians launched a smart little schooner, the "Dolly," for trade on the Columbia and the coast. Today's Astorians will soon be thinking about the observ ance of this community's sesqui centennial. The ' plans for the first ship built in Oregon might be in the old records, as the frame was shipped around the Horn. May the "Dolly" sail again! Dead line for Sunday Classified if at noon Saturday.
