Dow spoke to more than 250 members of ihe Dow Institute February 21 at The Dow Chemical Com- "pany cafeteria, his talk covering 1he future of the company in the Freeport area. He outlined the research work now being clone in the development of magnesium metal for post-war uses to the benefit of Dow and outside fabricators. Dr, Dow complimented many small foundries in this coun- try on their contribution to the continued improvements in the "production and alloying of magnesium. He also discussed many iother chemicals manufactured by the company, which are just as essential to our prosperity, though possibly not as glamorous as magnesium. Some of the developments the company is most 1 proud of, he said, are chemicals that find vital use in the tropics.

"The future of the plant looks good, and through the hard 'work of all we can continue our peacetime expansions have been interrupted by the war," Dr. Dow said.

(ADVERTISEMENT) From where I ty Joe Marsh, Lee Mapes Sticks His Neck Out We had a meeting at the Town Hall Friday, night, and when Htomer Bently spoke up for a new roof for the schoolhouse, Lee Mapes interrupts him. "How long you been in this town?" Lee demands. "Fourteen years," says Homer proudly.

"Then yon keep qnletr says Lee. "We can't have transients running things in oar town." I'm glad to report that all of us voted Lee down and let Homer have his say. I'm glad just because the school did need a new roof, but because it doesn't do to let intolerance and prejudice creep into a community.
