...need saints who live in our own day, who are subjects of our own nation, who are members of our own parishes. Someone whose house we can point out and whose photograph we can show. Why shouldn't this city, this parish, give the world a saint? Why shouldn't there be some day a St. Michael of New York, St. John of The Bronx or St. Mary of Jersey City, just as there is St. Rose of Lima, St. Anthony of Padua and St. Francis of Assisi? . . .

...longer do Midlanders rail against Dow Chemical Co. as they did in 1900, for today Dow is the biggest thing in Mid land. Most of the company's 3,700 employes, including 500 scientists and technicians, live there. The plant stretches over 250 acres, contains more than 300 buildings, 16 mi. of railroad track.
