The First Christian Church of Columbus u-as designed by Eliel Saarinen. The Worlc It isn ' t every day that a small midwestern town like Columbus is discovered by the world through the facilities of Look, Time, and the Saturday Evening Post. This city of 22,000 has many advantages that even larger cities don ' t have. Many people have come to Columbus through employment at Cummins Engine Com- pany, one of the largest diesel companies in the world. Their engines are distributed all over the world. This is not the only major industry in Columbus as there are Hamilton ' s, which makes Cosco products and Arvin Indus- tries. The town of Columbus has some buildings designed by Eliel Saarinen and his son, Eero, the world famous architects. One of these buildings, the First Christain Church designed by Eliel Saarinen, draws thousands of visitors each year. One of the most outstanding fea- tures of the building is the large campanile in front of the church. There is also a reflection pool which has been filled with sod to repre- sent a garden. Inside the church, which is very plain, the only sign is a large plain cross on the front wall. The other building, designed by Eero Saarinen, is the modern bank in down- town Columbus. One of the outstanding fea- tures of this building is the dome windows which enable direct sunlight to enter. The city of Columbus is a little more than an average middle western town. The people are proud people and they should be as they watch their ciry get better as it gets bigger.
