A city of culture, St. Louis was said by the late Bernard de Voto, an astute observer of American life, to have perhaps the most mature culture of any city west of New York. Topping the list of its cultural activities is the well-known and highly acclaimed Municipal Opera, an outdoor theater in the 1,382 acre Forest Park, seating more than 10,000 persons.

In recent years, however, Italians have also been doing exciting things in plastics, re-inforced concrete, steel and glass. Contrasting with their emphasis (> on classic design dating back to Roman times, the. Italians are bringing fresh contemporary ideas to today’s most advanced archi tecture. Not only in the United States but in other countries, as well. Shown above, for example, is the recently completed Water Gate East luxury housing devel opment in Washington, D. C, near the Potomac. Another mod em structure using Italian build ing elements is the uptown Port Authority Bus Terminal in New York, designed by Pier Luigi Nervi. Also a towering steel and glass bank building of impres sively modem design, in Montreal. Italian exports to our country that have lent beauty to our budd ings include large quantities of marble and alabaster, as well as liturgical products such as stained glass windows. Sales of Italian tile, brick and ceramics in the United States have more, than doubled since 1960. Other imports from Italy in clude decorative steel panels fin ished in porcelain enamel, pre-fab- ricated aluminum building panels, and a new type of rubber flooring for outdoors (used at Rome’s Fiumicino Airport). All in all, the Italian flair for beauty is making a notable im pact on American architecture* 5,000. From 1820-1840 the foreign element attracted was principally German. In 1840, the city had a population of 16,469. Thereafter, it increased rapidly, reaching 160,773 by 1860. Tht year 1811 marked the appearance of the Mississippi steamboat and new prosperity for St. Louis. Just prior to the Civil war traffic reached its height. Hundreds of river boats, their dteks piled high with cotton, daily plied the Mississippi. Millions of dollars were invested in the river fleet and St. Louis proudly be came the leading city of the Western frontier. Railroads began to play an important role in the life of the city from 1851 on. By 1859 the city had become the terminus for four western roads. Despite much wavering and indecision on the part of Missouri during the Civil War, St. Louis remained a Unionist stronghold. The city served as headquaters for Generals Freemont and Halleck and was also headquaters for the West ern Sa-n-i-t-a-r-y Commission. Much of the war relief work was carried out under the direction of the Commission. k After the war, the city re sumed its growth, aided materially by expanding rail and water transportation. By the turn of the century, St. Louis had a population of more than 575,000. Today, the city has more than 765,000, In music St. Louis the St. Louis Sym- the St. Louis Phil- offers harmonic, the St. Louis Grand Opera Guild and the Civic Music League.

We read in Psalms — that the Lord pre vented us in the presence of the enemy. At first blush that might appear that Jehovah operated against us; but if the word prevent comes from the Latin meaning He came be fore us or between us and the enemy, that is quite something else. Words grow and acquire different meanings.
