A. Upham, a weatherbeaten man
who believes in wood and canvas,
is the builder of Mayflower II.
She to a lady, Upham insists, a
strong little ship which will dupli-
cate this spring the voyage across
the Atlantic made by the Pilgrim
Fathers in 1630.
Mayflower II is in her essen-
tials—looks, size and straining
ropes—a copy of the sailing ship
in which the Pilgrims ventured
to the new world. The new vessel
is a gift of the British people to
the people of the United States.
Upham and about 35 craftsmen
have been working for about a
year and a half. Upham sizes up
the ship taking final form and
says with afiection gleaming in
his eyes
“A proper wooden ship is the
most beauiful thing man ever

And what’s the beginning of a
good wooden ship?

Medical Education Week is coming. It will be given
a well-deserved national celebration during the April
21-27 period. Its purpose is to develop a better public
understanding of what is going on in the all-import-
ant field of medical education, to explain the prob-
lems and to inspire greater public support of the me-
dical schools.
In this connection some more or less widely held
misconceptions concerning medical education should
be dispelled. One of these is that the medical schools
have not been keeping up with our population growth
and that, as a result, a serious shortage of doctors
exists or is impending. Actually, since 1940, both me-
dical school enrollments and graduations have each
increased by more than 84 per cent, as against a pop-
ulation gain of some 27.5 per cent For seven straight
academic years the schools have established new high
records in enrollments and graduations, and still an-
other record is in the making this year.
One problem has been in the geographic distribu-
tion of doctors. There was a lack of balance here.
Some years ago the Anerican Medical Association rec-
ognized this situation and went to work on it And so
successful has been that work that, according ‘to au-
thorities, more betors are in search of communities
in which to practicgshan there are communities seek-
lcar’Education Week we will all have a
salt water, and the battering of
the sea.”
Upham prowls the Devon and
Cornwall countryside, looking for •
likely trees. They ought to be
about 300 years old, and they do
not have to be straight and state-
ly. A sturdy, gnarled and twisted
oak gladdens his heart, because
a wooden ship needs bits and
pieces of strange shapes.
“We can bend. wood in the
steam bath," said Upham. ‘‘But
then the tiny fibers which consti-
tute the wood are twisted out of
their natural shape a little, and
we lose something In strength and
durability. Bu if that twist grows
naturally the wood comes into my
ship in just the form it wants to
be, and there’s nothing like tim-
ber to appreciate good treatment.”
Mayflower II to a ship of fine
appearance, but not built with
beauty a first consideration. It is
a faithful copy, and the first May-
flower was a practical merchant-
man, a 180-ton freighter which
hauled wine from the Mediterran-
ean ports before -the Pilgrims
chartered her.
“Mayflower II is not grand as
a schooner, or sleek as a yacht,
but a very presentable craft,”
said Upham. “She's a bark, that’s
what she to. We put every empha-
sis we could into making this a
rugged ship, and she will stand
up to storms.
"Mayflower II is a live ship, 7
daintily balanced and fuH of spir-
it. When we launched her last
September, she slid down into the
water eagerly, and then danced
on the waves as if she were a
ping pong ball. Then we pulled
her back into the dry dock, It’s
her boudoir, where we are dress-
ing her to go calling overseas.
"But she's been a headache.
We've never built a 17th Century
ship. We had excellent designs
from A. Baker, the American na-
val architect, but we had to feel
our way along, rediscovering
many of the old techniques.”
Upham, who is 49. will sail to
America with his ship. In his
youth he sailed some of his com-
pany's fishing vessels out of Brix-
ham.
“So I know a few tricks on a
sailing, ship," he said. "There to
this business of fresh water, for
instance. We'll sail with what we •
need, and there will be no dis-
tilling. But I have learned that
the way to conserve water to to
provide only a very small hand
pump on the tanks. So our new
Pilgrims will have to work hard
to get a cup of water, and won’t
be wasting any.”

The Centennial Jail may not be
familiar to you at this time, but
it may be before the Celebration
to over this next month, April
37th. The jail seems strong
enough to weather that much
time and service, as it was a
county lockup in Wise County for
a good many years before its re-
placement more than 50 years
ago. One elderly man, looking
at the jail, remarked. “Well, it
looks quite familar to me, as I
recall having spent some time in
it when it was in Wise County.
That gentlemen was looking at the
jail since it was placed on the east
side of the Denton square, and it
has the appearance of having
been well cared for since its re-
tirement. We understand it was
used for as a jail on the Wise
County poor farm in the days
when prison labor was available
to the counties.
CHICAGO I—The nation to los-
ing the war on traffic accidents,
a safety authority says. .
He suggested that the know-how
and resources of business and in-
dustry may well be the secret
weapon to win the fight.
“The nation has turned to busi-
ness and industry for special ef-
fort tim eafter ti mewhen wars
have seemed to be going against
us,” said Paul Jones of the Na-
tional Safety Council, “and never
have business and industry failed
to come through.
"Well, the war on traffic acci-
dents is going against us, and the
last year has brought severe
reverses. So it to only natural that
the nation once again should turn
to business and industry to help
pull us out of the hole.”
Deaths on the nation's highways
last year were estimated at 40,000,
one of the highest in history, said
Jones in a prepared speech to the
Office Management Assn. of Chi-
cago.
Jones, the council's director of
public information, said that near-
ly twice as many Americans have
been killed in traffic accidents
than in all of the country's wars—
including the Revolution.
Jones, asking “Do we classify
war by the size of the toll?” gave
these figures: 604,733 dead on the
battlefield; 1,150,000 killed on the
highway.
He blamed public apathy and
lack of citizen support for a large
part of the failure to reduce the
traffic toll.
I TEN YEARS AGO
Contracts were signed with the
• Texas Telephone Co. for the in-
stallation of a dial telephone sys-
. tem for the NTSC campus, Dr.
W. J. McConnel announced today,
“Without doubt you have for-
gotten me but I have lust re-
ceived that superb Anniversary
Edition of the Record-Chronicle
and it was almost like a trip
back home that I knew as a kid.
To Introduce myself, I am the
youngest son of W. W. Baxter,
who was one of them so-and-so
’Yankees' from Indiana who set-
tled first in Bolivar community
and then moved to Denton in the
early nineties. Mrs. F. E. Piner,
wife of Judge Piner, was my Sun-
day School teacher for a time in
the Old Cumberland Church on Bol-
ivar Street. Her daughter. Miss
Eula Piner, was my teacher in
the fifth grade in public school.”
No, John, we haven’t forgotten
the Baxter family, as we remem-
ber when their home was on Boli-
var Street, and your father was
known as Squire Baxter.
One oldtimer of Denton, who
has been away from here for
more than 50 years, was looking
into the preparation of the com-
ing Centennial. “The town and the
celebration might be more like
Old Denton if there were a saloon
or so around the square. In days,
before prohibition, there were sev-
eral such places of business
around the square. I might try to
get a permit to operate just one
saloon here for the period of the
Centennial Celebration."
Jesus answered and said unto
them, though I bear record of my-
self, yet my record to true; for
I know whence I came, and whith-
er I go; but ye cannot tell whence
I come, and whither I go.—John
8-14.
Remember that vision on the
Mount of Transfiguration; and let
it be ours, even in the glare of
earthly joys and brightness, to lift
up our eyes, like those wondering
three, and see no man any more,
save Jesus only.—Maclaren.

“Several student teachers have asked for permission to grow
beards as a part of the Centennial celebration. No beards or

Defense Funds
HAVERFORD. Pa. u — Haver-
ford College, a Quaker institution,
is involved in a controversy over
whether to accept Defense De-
partment grants for nonmilitary
research.
Taking sides in the dispute are
members of the faculty, the Board
of Managers and the students at
the 124-year-old school, avowedly
the oldest Quaker-operated insti-
tution in the country.
Some feel acceptance of the
grants would conflict with the
Quaker philosophy of pacifism.
Others say rejection of the money
would prevent the college from
making significant contributions
to the sciences. '
The problem came up when Dr.
Robert L. Walter, 37-year-old as-
sistant professor of chemistry, re-
cently asked the Board of Mana-
gers for permission to apply to
the Defense Department for a $14,-
000 grant. He wants the money to
aid research in organic chemis-

~ Dentonites Cannot Afford
To Forget Need For Water
Work is expected to start Monday on the first phase
' of what the City Commissio hopes will go a long way
towards eliminating a water shortage for Denton this
Sumyte time work is completed, the city will have
spent at least >178,415 to improve existing water wells
and expand water mains. By lowering pumping facili-
ties in existing water wells—the only present source
of Denton water—the city hopes the result will pro-
vide.as much water as drilling a new well. •
Lowering of the pumps will cost approximately $35,"
000 as opposed to the estimated .1125,000 needed to
drill a new well. . ’ , . ...
Taxpayers, of courseware pleased to hear that the
same results of a new well will be achieved at much
less cost simply by lowering pumping equipment.
The city hopes that this money will be the last it
spends on water wells—at least in the near future.
Actually, Denton’s water needs would be well supplied
if only Garza-Little Elm Reservoir were filled with
the water it is meant to hold.
Whether or not Garza-Little Elm will hold that wat-
er by the summer of 1958 is a question that none of
us can answer.
But all of us hope that critical water supplies will
never be the cause of Denton’s literally drying-up.
Even with its other worries, the City Commission,
and Dentonites as well—can not afford to forget the
importance of an adequate water supply.

The number of persons who own
the most popular shares have
been increasing in most instances,
particularly among the big oil
companies.
Stock splits and dividends have
helped to increase the holdings of
long-time owners.
These trends are shown today
in tables compiled by the New
York Stock Exchange’s official
publication, The Exchange.
Jersey Standard Oil has about
83,000 more share owners than a
year ago. The 36 per cent gain is
the highest the exchange reports.
Tops is American Telephone and
Telegraph with almost 1. million
share owners, a 5.7 per cent gain.
General Motors, with a gain of 19
per cent, is second with 640.473.
General Electric was tripped from
third place by Jersey Standard
(403,000) and is now fourth with
366.524. a 3.3 per cent increase.
Ford Motor holds fifth with
298.918. but it lost 6.2 per cent of
the 318,722 who owned its shares
a year ago.
Cash dividends went up last
year too. The Department of
Commerce reports that U.S. cor-
porations as a whole paid out
821M million dollars that way, an
8 per cent gain over 1955.

active year before, the turnover
rate was 19 per cent.
