living So probably you will picture to yourself
Miles Standish and John Alden and fair Priscilla
and all the rest Of the stately company waking
down the gangplank of the Mayfower and step
ping off to the good old solid rock OF New Eng
land-good old solid New England bedrock that
had been right there and had been bidding deli
ance to the sea and the elements when the Rockies
were still at the bottom Of the ocean.
& Well, that's fine for q historical picture. But
nowadays science will not let us alone for single
minute. Champion busybodies, these scientists
regular buttinskys! When they are not invent1ng
q new kind Of poison gas to abolish war by max
ing it FOO deadly for any use they are fixing up
balanced ration to do away with Thanksgiving
dinners. And now they've gone and monkeyed
with Plymouth Rock-with Plymouth Rock itself!
It's sad tale, fellow Americans And here 1t
is IN all it's saddenng details An especially sad
detail is that it seems to have its beginning in
natve-born American, DR.. George Frederick kunz
To be sure, he was born In New York cty--and
New York and Massachusetts differ bit on and
In many things-which may account for his doings
Anyway, he's ''gem expert and member of
many scientific societies all over the world and
the wearer of all sorts of decorations. Most re-
markable Of ALL he's president of the American
Scenic and Historic Preservation society.
Well, Dr. Kunz attended the recent meeting at
Toronto Ont. of the British Association for the
Advancement of Science. There he produced
granite silver which he said was piece of Plym-
outh Rock And the Britishers-as eager as ever
to get even, after more than 300 years-fell upon
that poor lone silver of Plymouth Rock, hailed it
Into clinic and proceeded to operate. DR.. A. z.
Coleman DR.. w. H. Collins, Prof. T. Z. Walker,
Dr. H M Ami and other Canadian biologists per-
formed the operation.
Before the operation Plymouth Rock was good
old New England granite. After the operation
which, of course entirely successful-Plym-
outh Rock was "biotite granite with altered plag-
ioclase feldsparr The ALTERED" part of it is
easy to understand but just what they did to poor
old Plymouth Rock even desk dictionary of 1O8O
pages can't explain. And all the comfort one can
get out of a 2,620pager is that they didn't say
poor old P. r. is anorthoclase.
But there's more to come-and worse Those
Canadian iconoclasts proceeded to hold what ap-
peared to the Pilgrim society and the National
Society of Mayfower Descendants and the Com
snonwealth of Massachusetts to have many re-
semblances to post norton. Whatever It may
be called, its findings are these, in effect
Plymouth Rock is gay deceiver.
Plymouth Rock deceived the Pilgrims.
plymouth Rock has been masqueradng these
three hundred years as 'Iittle bit Of New Eng
land"
Plymouth Rock Is a detached boulder, cast on
the New England shore by the ice
Plymouth Rock is British immigrant, as Brit
ash as the Pilgrims themselves.
Plymouth Rock is a part of a mother rock, To-
Gated north Of the ST. Lawrence, probably in Lab
rador.
Plymouth Rock is an unwilling instrument In
this international deceit, the power behind the
thrown being gigantic glacier that did the job
about 100000 years ago without attracting gener-
al attention.
Did the old Bay state rise as one man in pro-
test? Well, not exactly as strong as that-there
are a good many Portuguese around Cape Cod
these days and the French Canadians are as thick
