CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS

Today the 4o1st anniversary of the discovery of the
New World by Christopher Columbus will be observed
On August 3rd 1892, Columbus left the port of Palos
Spain with three ships One of them the Santa Ma
ria of 100 tons and So men, and the other two were the
Pnta and Nina of so tons and 18 and 40 tons and
18 men, respectively.
In the early morning hours of October 12th Rodrigo
de Trana, the Nina sighted land Although it was the
hurricane Columbus and his vessels had made the
voyage without being destroyed by of the great Sep
TENDER hurricanes which periodically in the area
The land sighted the island of Guanahoni Bahamas
This is called San Salvador and the first fort built
in this part of the New World was built there
Columbus is certainly of the greatest explorers
of all times The Genoese navigator is also ranked
of the worlds first sailors and navigators and his
conviction that that world was round which brought
about the discovery of the New World just 461 years
Most historians however believe other explorers set foot
on the North American continent many hundreds of
years before Columbus. These explorers and seamen

unknown in Columbus day and had not the Italian
explorer obtained permission from the Queen of Spain to
lead expedition to the New World the development
of this hemisphere have been considerably delay
ed.
Few adventures match those of Columbus on his
first crossing. The courage required and the conditions
overcome make of the great and inspirational
stories of all time.

NEW YORK, (GlobaD-
Dear Miss Ball:
I am 13 years old and in the 9th
grade. 1 live with my father and
stepmother. They have two boys,
one five years old and the other
five months old. At 8 o'clock every
day, have to go home and take
care of my step brothers and at. 5
o'clock start dinner. After dinner
have to wash dishes and theS
study. By that time, it is bed time
and I never get to play.
My step-mother yells at me if
do something wrong or if I play
joke. When my parents go out at
night, I have to put the children
to bed all by myself. They don't
like NY girl friends to visit and I
can only go to the movies twice a
month.
I would like to be with my real
mother. She is married and lives
in Pittsburgh with my real brother
and sister. tried to go to her
once, but they beat me and said I
was very bad and ungrateful. Aft
er that they kept me in the house
for a very long time. Can you
help me?
-Margie
Dear Margie:
1t is always sad to hear of such
situations. Some parents forget |
how important it is for children to
play. Thirteen-year-olds some
times act grown up. but they slip
back into childhood often. For
them this is a period of strain and
change. Parents have to be aware
of this and help them avoid the
pitfalls.
Margarie, did you ever try to. tell
your father and stepmother how
you feel? If it Is hard to talk to
your father, talk to your guidance
teacher at school. She will be glad
to help you. Explain your prob
lem to her. and tell her just how
you feel. She will keep your con-
fidence, and she viii suggest what
is best for you and your family.
