Monday, the 18th, was Columbus
Day, holiday. The calendars had it
marked in red but aside from that, it
was little observed in New Ulm. It
would seem that this year is a peculiarly
fitting time to dwell upon the day, for,
like the old German not a New Ulmite,
by the way Americans should be
particularly grateful to the Italian for
discovering America. s.
