Columbus the "Immortal Genoese” William Watson inquired: “When shall the world forget thy glory and our debt?” Christopher Columbus is one of those immortals whose fame gains in luster with the passing of time Ann wondered what" the great navigator other poet thought of his immediate reward which included “chains and pains and sorrow” Columbus braved the dangers blazed the trail pointed the way and headed the long procession to riches he never spent to freedom he never enjoyed to glories he never shared to land he never owned Those who followed where he led found the treasure reveled in the liberty exercised the power and reaped the harvests of a land he won on a wager in which he staked his life against bigotry The world wilLnot forget nor time efface the record of his In a fog of ignorance in an atmosphere of superachievement stition he undertook to prove that the earth is round that India can be reached by sailing westward that danger symbols marked on all maps of his day were imaginary He was not looking for another race of people nor an outlet for a possible overflow of population nor gold and silver to save the bankrupt centers of civilization nor new territory as extensive as the combined areas of Europe and Africa He was trying to prove a theory to establish a truth But nevertheless he found all these benefits and Jblessings He discovered a new world He saved several impoverished kingdoms from financial ruin He opened the gateway to homes for 230000000 people He broke ground for a sanctuary for the oppressed and lighted a beacon of hope for the enslaved masses of the old world It is just and proper that he should be remembered ks long as American republics and colonies continue to exist that he is honored for what he achieved however unintentional it may have been that a monument ’will be erected on the point where it is said he first saw land after a tempestuous voyage of 70 days in miniature ships with a mutinuos crew of terrified and homesick sailors And it is eminently fitting that America’s memorial be a lighthouse symbolizing his vision his steadfast faith in the future his illumination of a universe hidden from myopic multitudes born and reared in darkness and depression To honor Columbus is not to discredit the claims of those who are convinced that Lief Ericson the Norwegian navigator cruised the coast of Labrador four centuries before the sailing of the caraval from Spain nor of those who contend that Bjarni Her-julfsvisited New England a century and a half before Ericson No accounts of such voyages were made public no permanent settlements were established and no recognized authority of that period But it was not long after gave the matter serious consideration k the return of Columbus with his plants and natives his and his companions until all enterprising governments of Europe began launching expeditions for exploration and colonization of that strange land beyond the conquered sea The French overran the Canadian wilderness inside of 20 years The English Dutch and Portuguese were rushing to both continents with soldiers settlers and fortune hunters From the four voyages of Columbus the world received information corroboration and inspiration which bestowed upon humanity an accumulation of benefits a hundred times greater than any other dreamer sailor or adventurer ever uncovered to the sun October 12 the anniversary of the discovery of land is a legal holiday in 34 states and is generally observed throughout this In all countries it is a time of general republic In Santo Domingo it is an

Misunderstood Editor Tribune: When the social security act was proposed by n e w s p president throughout the nation referred to one phase of the act as providing for old age- pensions At the time most people supposed that all the aged would get a $30 per month pension under the law This false impression has given rise to any amount of unjust criticism of those administering old age assistance in Utah In order that all may know the truth about this matter I quote from information service circular No 1 published by the social security board Washington D C: “Old age assistance is designed to help the states to give immediate assistance to ” aged individuals on a basis Quoting from the same pamphlet page 4 speaking of old age assistance: “Which may reasonably be expected to provide assistance to needy aged individuals” The old age assistance feature of the security act provides only money to match state-fund- s for the needy aged This excludes those aged who are not needy Since the law provides for only the needy aged according to need someonemust decide who is needy and ' how much they need This is done in all states by social service divisions Naturally so long as one human being must determine the needs of others there will be criticism and perhaps some mistakes However every applicant for old age assistance has the right to appeal to the state welfare board Let us be fair and -- cease our unjust criticism of those doing the best they can K E FARNSWORTH the - ' -- Outside Expenditures Worry Contributor Editor Tribune: An article appeared in The Tribune
