Crowd Flees as Fireworks Rain Down Near Spectators
A Columbus Day fireworks display sponsored by the Eleventh District Italian American club caused panic as rockets and Roman candles burned near the crowd of about 1,000 spectators. A strong easterly wind blew embers toward roofs, but no injuries or major damage were reported. The event included a Columbus Day ceremony at Columbus Schools and a parade ending at the club clubhouse, followed by a Marine Band concert. Mayor Behrens addressed the gathering, praising Columbus as a world-shaping explorer despite early skepticism about his voyage.
