Columbus Day Souvenirs.-Angelo
Noce, of Denver, father of the Colo
RADIO Columbus Day bill, the first to
be legalized in the United States, has
turned over to Judge J. L. McFeeley
number of relics connected with the
establishment of the holiday, which
will be presented to the national off
GERS of the Knights of Columbus. Z AS
Mr.. Noce worked for thirty years to
have Genoa's great son honored with
a national holiday, his collection OF
papers during the long campaign is
of great interest. It. is not. generally
known that Mr.. Noce tried to have
the Columbus Day idea pushed by the
Patriotic Order Sons of America and
similar organizations, but without sue
cess. When the Knights of Columbus
were established here, he secured
their aid, without which, he says, the
bill would not have become law
Among the many letters Of congratu
lations received by Mr.. Noce when
the Colorado law was passed, was one
written by Cardinal Falconio, dated
November 5, 1910, and his majesty
the King of Italy, on December OF
the same year, wrote him common
datory letter through A. Rossi, then
Italian consul in Denver. Several
Italian cities took official cognizance
of his efforts to have Christopher Co.
lumbus' name more honored, and
among his treasured letters is one
from the Mayor of Genoa, lauding him
for this work.
