IN A DOLL'S THIMBLE THE UNITED STATES chemical indusfry is a dynamic and vifal indusfrial force. The reason is fhaf our clofhing, our food and shelfer, our fransporfafion, news- papers, recreafion equipmenf, nafional defense, and even our healfh depend fo a large degree on 'Ihe applicafions of indusfrial chemisfry. The ladies depend on chemisfry for 'rhe delicafe scenf of fine perfumes and fhe sheer, shimmering nylons fhey love so well. The popular push-bu'Hon saving bombs and fhe refrigerafors we like fo raid were made possible by special gases developed in chemical laborafories. Chemical fuels puf fhe zip in our space vehicles. The diseases of childhood have been all buf wiped ouf by drugs and pharmaceuficals firsf failored in a fesf fube. Whole new indusfries and fhousands of iobs-in fhe frozen food and phofographic fields, for example-have been creafed as a resulf of breakfhroughs in chemisfry. There is nofhing really mysferious abouf chemisfry. lf acfually is one of man's more basic endeavors, for chemisfry simply is fhaf science fhrough which we change or modify fhe basic sfrucfure of maffer from one form info anofher. And fhere is nofhing new abouf chemisfry. Only our knowledge of if is new. To separafe ourselves from chemisfry in ifs innumerable manifesfafions, we would have 'Io separafe ourselves from fhe air and seas around us-from fhe world ifself. The frees, fhe sfones, fhe grass, fhe rain, and our bodies are all parf of fhis world of chemisfry, a world in which one form of maffer is being fransformed unceasingly info anofher form. These infinife pafferns of such delicafe balance are composed of only I02 known chemical elemenfs. We could hold a molecular sample of each of fhese elemenfs in a doll's fhimble. IN DOING SO, we would hold fhe key fo fhe nafure of our world. We are using fhaf key fo unlock secrefs of such scope fhaf only fhe mosf imaginafive and frained minds can begin fo perceive fheir magnifude. THE DOW CHEMICAL COMPANY TEXAS DIVISION FREEPORT
