Mr. Speaker. a new way of life began when the first immigrants stepped ashore from the Mayflower in Mayflower II. an exact replica of that historymaking vessel. will sail the same course in 1957. Here it will be given a permanent home as a good will gift from the people of Great Britain to the people of the United States. That ship is destined to become a part of a famous shrine of early America. for around it will rise a living Pilgrim village which will recapture the spirit of those first years. In the lee of the Mayflower. just as It was 3 centuries ago. men and boys will work in the saw pit. at the grist mill. in the gardens. at the brick kiln. carrying on with the crude tools of that time. while women and girls will spin. weave. churn. dip candles. and make pottery in the way of busy Pilgrim housewives.
