...they now gear expansion to projections of the growth of their area-and step out to anticipate it. Since 1945, thanks largely to President Elmer Lindseth's program to lure new industry to his area, Cleveland Electric Illuminating's power sales have jumped 92%; Philadelphia Electric, a sparkplug in the industrialization of the Delaware Valley (TIME, June 8), has spent $320 million to supply 227,000 new customers; Detroit Edison, under President Walker Cisler, has doubled its investment (to $700 million) since the war, by 1956 will have increased its capacity from...
Much of the Baptists' mustard-seed growth has come from immigration, mainly from Baptist-heavy Texas, drawn by oil booms, defense centers (notably Los Alamos) and tourist folders.

A onetime radio announcer, Joey Smallwood stumped the island in 1948, and almost singlehandedly broke down its stubborn resistance to union with Canada. Elected the first premier, he set up an economic program that has brought a healthy flow of industry and capital into the province. Newfoundland's low income is already up nearly 300% above the 1939 level, and Joey Smallwood's drive is still going strong. Last week...
