Rightly Treasured as Great
State Document

In the harbor at the tip Of Cape
Cod occurred the first birth and the
first death among the Pilgrims in
America. On board the Mayflower, as
she lay at anchor, was born Pele-
CRIME, son Of William and Susanna
White. Here was another child for
the ships nursery, already occupied by
little Oceanus Hopkins, who first saw
the light of day far out at sea.
The death was that of Dorothy May,
wife of William Bradford, future gov
ernor of Plymouth colony. She was
drowned.
First of Importance, however, Of
all that occurred here. and also in
the sequence of events, was the draw.
Ing up and signing of the famous com
pact OF government, originally desig-
mated by Bradford In his history as "a
combination" And SO It was. In the
most literal sense, combination.
This agreement, made In writing by
a little group Of Engllshmen who had
been dismissed by their mother coun.
try as good radiance to bad rubbish,
is now treasured by the nation in
America. to which they contributed as
much as one of three great documents
The other two are the Declaration OF
Independence and the Constitution OF
the United States.
