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.

activities is the well-known

Italian Design Beautifies America
NEW YORK (CFN)—Italy is, traditionally, a land famous
for its stone, marble and terra cotta building materials. 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.

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,

Speaking of Saints who were
named by our brethren of the
Latin persuasion I have dabbled
just enough in Latin to enjoy
tracing the orgin of some
English words. 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. In our
recent Sunday School lesson
there is a citation to the
Ephesians admonishing us to
be on guard, that we look all’
around us, before and behind
and probably bn both §i?les.
Latin word “circumspectly”
clearly indicates that admoni
tion to be prudent and wise in
our spiritual life.
You will observe the prac
tise of lawyers in preparing
some legal documents: they re
peat and frequently use several
words to convey the same idea.
That is because language grows
and sometimes words acquire
new meanings. So the repetit
