Celebrating Columbus Day About five hundred years ago in the busy harbor of Genoa, Italy, a small boy of great vision watched the ships come and go. At school he was studying Latin, . mathematics, and astronomy and was becoming a skillful maker of maps and charts used by navigators. Stirring tales of seamen persuaded him at an early age to enter on a sea faring career. In his first years as an experienced seaman, we find him living at Lisbon, Portugal, which had become the center of geographical knowledge as a result of the explora tions of Prince Henry, the Navigator, who was continually pushing further and further down the coast of Africa, Realizing that the earth was round Columbus became convinced that the shortest route to India would be to sail west, rather than go around the continent to Africa. Unknown and without money, this middle-aged man began looking for a financial backer in order to make his dream a reality. In 1483 he pre sented his plans to John II, the pro gressive young ruler of Portugal; John was interested, but not interest ed enough. The next nine years of his life he spent wandering from one court to another. In these different courts he was ridiculed, treated as a beggar, deluded by false promises, and be trayed. But, finally, with the aid of a sim ple monk, this heartbroken man per suaded Ferdinand and Isbella of Spain to help him in fitting out an expedition. His crew was made upjl of criminals who agreed to make this dangerous voyagle as an alternative to the Spanish dungeons. Only a strong and courageous man could have kept this crew of cut throats sailing toward what they be lieved to be certain death. But this man was strong, he was courageous, ';,, and the success of this voyage meant . Minora to him than anything else. V Finally, with mutiny in the air, this 'great leader promised hi crew to sail home, if land was not sighted within three days. ' Before ,th three days were np, however,, Ian4 was sighted it was San Salvador, in ths Bahamas. That , day, Oetober,12( f492, became a his torical landmark.

This Is America This is America. Mountain peaks strung together like rough-hewn beads' on a giant chain. Fertile river valleys where grasses and grains grow lush, and corn ripens in the ear. Broad expanses of prairie land where waves of wheat and oats ripple like endless swells of an ocean. Stretch es of dark, rich loam etched with symmetrical rows of cotton on which the white cloud-puff bolls sway. Stone walls encircling green mead ows, stony fields and granite-studded hillside pastures. This is America. Bustling, teem ing cities. Whirring wheels of huge factories. Trains and busses and trucks carrying men's goods to ten thousand destinations. Great stores thronged with people. Small stores serving neighborhoods. Newsboys calling tneir papers, subways ana airplanes. Taxi cabs and pushcarts. This is America. Long docks by the ocean side. Steamers and freight ers and ferries. Miles of wharfs and warehouses. Piles of merchandise going back and forth to serve man kind. Fishermen's sloops in small harbors. This is America. Dams that con trol rivers. Dams that slake a million-acre thirst. Dams that make lights flash in cities far away, and wheels turn because of an unseen power. This is America, Men and women who have caught the vision seen by others long ago. Men and women who know that human life has dig nity and integrity. Men and women who believe that there are standards for human beings and for nations. And this shall be America.
