Newspaper Page TextVolunteers, Expert Seamen to Make Up Crew of Mayflower II in Atlantic Trip By DANIEL F. GILMORk. United Press Correspondent London :u.R; "The "May flower' will set sail for America on April 15." This is not a yellowed news paper clipping from 16UU. It u a 1957 announcement by the flamboyant skipper of the May flower II, a stout 130-ton oak replica of the cralt which brought the Pilgrim Fathers to Plymouth Rock three centuries ago. But because it is 1957 and the aim is not to colonize but to show Anglo American friend ship, some changes have been made. A peril unknown to the pil grims, i shipyard strike, could yet delay the sailing date. Skipper Alan Viiliers, 52-year-old Australian adventurer, au thor and master mariner has put his foot down, no women aboard. A 17-year-old Massachusetts youth who wants to join the U.S. Navy's jet air arm will serve as cabin boy. No Engine There will be no engine on t: m I 1 H 4 . i but Cox TWO IN ONE Tired happy, Cmdr.

The crew will make no at tempt to duplicate the primitive living conditions of the 17th century. At a champagne party where the crewmen received up to S28, 000 apiece in Insurance, Captain Viiliers said. "There will be as little of that 17th century stuff as possible. We're going to live as good as we can." Thousands of persons applied for the passage which, "with God's will and a fair wind," should take five weeks from Plymouth, Eng., to Plymouth, Mass., compared to 93 days for the original journey, which began Sept. 6, 1620. No Women The final crew is composed of volunteers, expert seamen or descendants of those who "come over on the Mayflower." Women asked but Viiliers rebuffed them. Among them were Caroline Standish Parmenticr, of Rut land,, Vt., a trained nurse who said she was an eighth direct descendant of Captain Miles Standish, and Miss M. Billah Bradford, of New Milton, Eng., a descendant of William Bradford, second governor of New Eng land. "We will sail on April 15 with a crew of 29, all men, thank God," said Viiliers. "No women. They are nuisances at the best of times and more so especially aboard ship." No Cook The crew still lacks a cook. One dropped out when his wife discovered the ship had no en gine and, said Viiliers, "I'm not fitting one engine just to get that cook." American Cabin Boy Joseph M. Meany Jr., son of a Waltham, Mass., optician, earned his posi tion as national winner of the boys clubs of America 11th an nual Junior Citizenship award. Former President Herbert Hoov er announced Meany's victory for his contributions to home, school, church, community and the boys clubs. A six-foot brown haired high school senior honor student, Meany holds an alter nate appointment to Annapolis. The Mayflower II, which will cost $280,000 was built in Brix ham. Eng., with funds raised among Britons friendly to Amer ica. The keel was laid July 28, 1955, by a British Royal Navy commander who had five ances tors aboard the original May flower. It was launched in a violent thunderstorm Sept. 22, 1956, by Reis Leming, of Top penish. Wash., who as a former U.S. airman was a hero during floods in Britain. No Plan. "At first it was a nightmare," said builder Stuart Upham. "No plans, no details of rigging, noth ing. Then we found a model, completely rigged, at Bucklands Abbey, home of Sir Francis Drake." With this model and the help Woodpecker Not Benton Damage Chicago (U.R) House own ers needn't rush out and get in surance if a woodpecker starts drilling a hole in a wall, a zoolo gist says. The fine feathered friend isn't going to wreck the house. He simply wants a nice, fat worm for dinner or a cozy place to take a snooze. Austin L. Rand, chief curator of zoology at the Chicago Natur al History Museum, wrote in the museum's bulletin that esti mating insurance risks were out of his line but woodpecker hab its were not. So when an insur ance edjuster wanted informa tion recently on the feathered jackhammers. Rand obliged. Properly speaking. Rand said, woodpeckers don't eat wood. They chisel into wood in search of wood-boring insects. And they excavate nest sites and sleeping places in wood usually in a tree. The insurance adjuster want ed to know whether the offend ing woodpecker and all it young would come back and keep drill ing holes until the house col lapsed. That's contrary to woodpeck er custom. Rand told the wor ried adjuster. The birda usually scatter out when they become full-grown and independent, and the claim they stake out next spring may be far from the first nest. The zoologist also assured his caller that it was improbable any house in the Chicago area would be sufficiently infested with insects to attract a wood pecker year after year. Chisel ing into houses usually would be for a nest or sleeping place. he said. of William A. Baker, of Hina ham, Mass., a naval architect, the ship was fitted together us ing the ancient tools, "nippers," used for hauling hot steamed planks from the kiln, clamps and forelock clamps, chock bevels, ausers, gimbletts and adzes, caulking irons and mawls. The ship, which will come from New England to tie up at pier 81 in New York for six months starting June 1. will sail with a chest of gold bracelets, necklaces, silver cutlery, and cashmere sweaters. A BIG HELP Washington (U -R) Candor on Capitol Hill Sen. Styles Bridges (R-NH1 said last night the Congress probably will cut taxes next year. '"Does Congress always save the tax cuts for election years? ' a questioner asked. "No. cut it is very help ful," replied Bridges.
