New Spirit In Rio De Janeiro

(EDITOR’S NOTE: What makes a city great other than its she alone? This is another in the series of 15 great cities of the world.) Great d ies—No. 8 Rio de Janeiro By H. DENNY DAVIS United Press Internationa RIO DE JANEIRO (UPI) — There is a new spirit in Rio. On the eve of the city’s 400th birthday, Cariocas are just beginning to realize that the transfer to the capital to Brasilia was no great blow to this picturesque tropical center. Rio is beginning to live a life of its own. Workmen have torn down a mountain, thrown it in the bay and on the reclaimed land are building one of the world’s largest “downtown” city parks. They are boring huge tunnels through mountains of solid rock. More industry is springing up. The chronic water shortage is being solved. And this year, for the first time, there is free primary schooling available for every child. Not everyone is pleased with the changes. A tourist from the Midwest, watching the steamshovels leveling and filling, growled: “They keep this up, it’s gonna look like Lincoln, Nebraska.** Not all is changed. Rio mostly still looks and acts like the romantic wicked old seaport portrayed in novels and movies. Arms spread, the white stone statue of Christ the Redeemer atop a hill can still be glimpsed — between skyscrapers —from any part of the city. “He's not giving His blessing,” Cariocas lifce to wisecrack. “He is- shrugging His shoulders.” The sparkling blue beauty of Guanabara -Bay and the lush green of the mountains behind the city contrast sharply with the poverty of one third of the population, the hungry millions that live in the “favelas,” slum communities on waterless, gritty hills. Refuge for Lawbreakers Rio is still the favorite hideout for American lawbreakers. Brazil has no extradition treaty with the United States, and if an American visitor happens to be wanted by police back home.

the average Carioca couldn’t care less. What’s more, Rio is still Brazil’s center of political intrigue and corruption. The laws are made in Brasilia but the deals are made in elegant Copacabana Beach apartments owned by leading politicians—or by their mistresses, distant relatives or front men. It would be hard to find a governor, senator or federal deputy without a Rio apartment key in his pocket. Rio also has long been the center of Communist activity ,in this part of the world. “The country in Latin America the Communists most want is Brazil, and the city in Brazil they want most is Rio,” Gov. Carlos Lacerda has said. Until last month, Brazilian Communist party meetings were held in a Rio labor union hall—with a six-foot-high crucifix on the wall. Carioca leaders are trying hard to live down a past of poverty and corruption. Governor Lacerda has set an example of honesty and civic energy in running this city-state for the past three years. Some 10,000 persons have moved from favelas to new housing developments built by Lacerda with Alliance for Progress aid. Set'led By French A half-century before the pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock, Rio was an established city. The French formed the first settlement, but on March 1, 1565, the Portuguese drove the French out and founded the “very loyal city of Saint Sebastian of Rio de Janeiro” about where the Hotel Gloria is now located in downtown Rio. By 1600, 20 years before the Mayflower* Rio was a village of 4,000 mostly Indians led by Jesuit priests. The little town did not amount •> to much until 1690,when gold was discovered in the mountains a few hundred miles inland. Rio became the “port o f gold” and in a few years the gold that had flowed through the city was equal to all the production of the rest of the Western Hemisphere from 1492 to 1850. When the gold tapered off, diamonds were discovered in the same area. Rio became the capital of the colony in 1740 and capital of an empire in the time of Napoleon. It was capital of an independent Brazil from 1831, and of the republic until 1960, when Kubitschek moved the capital to the more centrally-located new city of Brasilia, 500 miles away. Rio (the population is three •million today* was held back in colonial times —for centuries no printing presses were allowed in Brazil — and had its first boom o f modern times from 1902 to 1908. Most of the city’s great public buildings were built then, and transportation and plumbing were brought up to 20th century standards. Reason For Optimism Rio, has managed to win a position in the textile, food

An American economist hired to do a survey, reported there is good reason for the Carioca’s optimism about the city’s future. Rio has what has often been called the finest natural harbor in the world; nearly unlimited iron deposits nearby; good labor supply; the rail, highway and communications hub of a nation of 80 million persons. Meanwhile, everyone goes on having fun in Rio. Brazilians are crazy about soccer and Maracana Stadium will hold 232,000 persons — more than three times the capacity of Yankee Stadium in New York. Then there are the miles of beaches where Cariocas first crawl; fly kites, grow up, play soccer, meet girls and woo them, and even hold religious services. For Rio’s bums, beaches are for sleeping, since it never gets cold. One million people dance indoors and outdoors for three days running during Carnaval. Each Samba school or Samba club enters a team of dancers in a parade and competes for prizes. Participants keep things easy going by always starting late — around 11 pjn. is typical — and ending around 7 a.m. The 50 samba schools each field between I.'OOO and 3,000 accomplished dancers each year. Carnaval and tourism is big business in Rio — last year 120,000 vacationing visitors spent $24 million here.

Two Minor Wrecks Here Over Holiday Decatur had a relatively quiet Memorial holiday weekend traf-fic-wise, as just two accidents occurred during the period from Friday through Sunday midnight.

Miss Kiess was eastbound cn Jackson and faded to heed a yield sign, and slammed oroadside into a northbound auto on Tenth street which was driven by Gertrude Elise Dickerson, 49, of 903 N. Fifth St. Lillian Webert, of 903 N. Fifth, a passenger in the Dickerson auto, suffered a small bumo on the head' in the accident.

For hand-washing, try some of the soap-plus-bluing powders. Two preventive measures that are helpful are: Add a small amount of mild powdered bleach each time the nylons are washed — and add an anti static material to the rinse to reduce the material’s attraction tor dirt. to ram the Debolt auto, which received $45 damage. There was no damage to the Tinkham machine.

Monday With Marilyn By Marilyn Knudsen

Last Friday was the late President Kennedy’s birthday, and this column is respectfully dedicated to him. Since he was so young a President, the youth associated themselves with him, using him as model and ideal, and he in turn showed a great interest in them and their activities. With this mutual admiration and respect, the students and young men and women of America mourned the loss of a great friend at his passing. Unis, with this in mind, youth around the nation devoted his birthday to money-making projects for funds for the Kennedy memorial library. If any of the students from the area joined in this activity, we would appreciate hearing about it, both from the person himself, and from parents or employers who may well show a justified pride in such an action. It is to be hoped that these will be reported to us so that we may recognize the youth who participated by telling of them in this column. One of Kennedy’s favorite efforts was for mental health, and several girls from this area have also made it their concern,, contributing their time on Saturdays to this cause. Pam Heffner. Susan Brecht, Cheri Jacobs, Sue Godsey, and Jane Macklin have gone to the Fort Wayne State School, there assisting in recreational and therapeutic programs which help the handicapped youngsters.

one over 16 years of age who is interested in participating in the program, by spending some time amusing the children and relieving the overly burdened staff, may contact Pam Heffner, Susan Brecht, Robert Scheidler, or this reporter for further information. Steve Sheets, a recent Decatur high school graduate, and the son of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Sheets, will leave for California June 10 to take up an unusual and interesting job. Working in the Tahoe national forest, Steve will serve as a member of a five man fire-fighting team in the back woods. According to the energetic young man, his work is a part of a dam building project for the city of Sacramento. While the first day of June may seem only the beginning of another month to rtiost people, to many Adams county students it marks the first day of summer school. At both Decatur high school and Adams Central school, istudents have enrolled in a variety of courses, most of which are aimed at helping the eager students to acquire more training than the normal school year allows. Rick Doty, the son of Mr. and Mrs.' Nelson G. Doty, was awarded a scholarship and a trophy for being the co-newspaper carrier of the year last Thursday night. Rick is planning to enter Valparaiso University next September.
