She weighs keeping her deputy sheriff job if named, and cites past service as Director of Public Aid in the 1930s. The council adopted an ordinance detailing the town engineer's duties as Joseph A. Margo plans to resign the presidency to likely take the engineer post.

Mayflower II Impresses Amid Brash Plymouth Harbor Scene
A visiting crew and onlookers recount life aboard Mayflower II as it anchors off Plymouth Massachusetts. Despite noisy sightseeing boats, tar scented rigging and hot dog stands, the ship’s crew maintains routine tasks and culinary prep led by cook Wally Godfrey from Ilford, Essex. The Bosun Ike Marsh shows a model clipper destined for Abercrombie and Fitch in New York, while Capt Allan Villiers endorses the model. The piece notes the ship’s size appears large from a distance but is a short deck from bow to stern, and admires the historic crossing reenactment effort amid a brash tourist backdrop.
