Brazilian Visitor Enjoys Hospitality Of Hoosiers

Brazil, Indiana, was host town recently to a Brazil, South American visitor. Miss Concelcao “Cy” Passalacqua of Sao Paulo, Brazil, was a guest in the home of Miss Betty Niswonger, teacher at Fillmore High School. Miss Passalacqua and Miss Niswonger have been pen pals since 1952; and now after 14 years of correspondence, they met face to face. Miss Passalacqua made her visit to the United States in March of this year. She had been staying with a friend in Detroit for two months before she came to Brazil, Indiana, on June 5. Miss Passalacqua thoroughly enjoyed her short stay in Brazil, Indiana, and gained some favorable impressions of small town life. In addition to seeing the city and people of Brazil, Indiana, Cy was taken on a “quicky” tour through neighboring Green castle. A short drive through town and on out the Indianapolis Road took her past several business establishments and the IBM plant, which especially in-

terested her. She was able to see the Fillmore High School and to meet some of the custodians and teachers in the area. Miss Passalacqua has gained some favorable impressions of our country and has specifically listed her first three. That which impressed her most of all was the American husband. She was interested to learn that many American husbands help their wives with dishes and other housework. This practice is non-existent in her country. That which impressed her secondly was the Brazilian (Brazil, Indiana) hospitality. She was able to meet many Brazilians and to visit their homes and see how they lived. Third, she was very much impressed with the Metropolitan Museum in New York City, which she was able to visit when she first arrived by airplane in the States. It is also interesting to note that Cy found our American truck drivers to be very friendly. Miss Passalacqua discussed all phases of life in her native

Brazil. Her listeners were always fascinated by her interesting conversations. One subject frequently discussed was that of American funerals. She feels our funerals are too expensive and elaborate, as in Brazil, South America, they do not have undertakers or funeral homes. The dead are buried within 24 hours, and the corpse remains in the church until burial. When mentioning that she would soon return to Sao Paulo, she said that she could not afford to die here! Prices of some items, such as utilities and cars, are extremely high. A Volkswagen costs approximately $3,000 in Brazil, while telephones are very rare and are owned by the individual. Miss Passalacqua had her name on a waiting list for a telephone; and after eight years, the telephone company called to say that she could now buy one. When she returns home, she will pay $400 for her phone on the installment plan. The seasons in Brazil are different than here in the States. The winter months run from April to July, and January and February are the peak of the summer months. When Cy returns to Sao Paulo on June 17, she will be leaving our summer for her winter. Cy witnessed her first snow while here in the States. She explained that she thought it would feel like cotton. Although Brazil does have Protestant churches, 90 per cent of the Brazilian people are Catholics. She noted one difference between Brazilian Catholics and American Catholics— that of not eating meat on Fridays. Miss Passalacqua was surprised to learn that our Catholics are not permitted to eat meat on a particular day. She compared class structures between the two countries. In

Brasil, then is a definite class structure. The upper classes do not mix with the lower classes, and there are certain jobs that people in the upper and middle classes would not concern themselves with. In this country she noticed that we mix very well, and she saw no definite differences among classes. She also noticed that our Americans take a great deal of pride in their work. Even though we are a country of specilization, which sometimes takes away the dignity of an individual’s job, she found those with whom she talked to be very proud of their occupations and accomplishments. Sao Paulo is a growing city with a population of 6,000,000. Its motto is, “Sao Paulo cannot be stopped.’’ It is quite true that Sao Paulo is one of the fastest growing cities in the entire world. It is a very beautiful, modern city of which Miss Passalacqua is quite proud. Miss Passalacqua first became interested in Brazil, Indiana, when she read an article in the Saturday Evening Post back in November of 1951. The article, ‘Tm a Doctor—and I’m Human,” was written by Dr. Robert K. Webster of Brazil, Indiana. Cy wrote a letter to the Brazil Times asking that someone write and tell her about the little town which was named after her country. This is how her recent visit came to be. She has written to three other Brazilians in addition to Miss Niswonger—Miss Beverly Rice, Mrs. Ethel Lawrence, and Gail Mercer, now deceased. While here, Miss Passalacqua was able to meet Dr. Webster; George James, the editor who published her first letter in the Brazil Daily Times; and Don Bolt, a local lecturer and authority on Latin and South American countries. Cy is a director secretary in her city of Sao Paulo. This is the top level for Brazilian secretaries. Before coming to this country in March, she worked for the Willys firm, which makes cars, jeeps, etc. Cy is proficient in EngHnh as well as Portuguese, Spanish, Italian, and French. Her Brazil, Indiana, friends found her to be a very charming, intelligent young lady. They became quite fond of her and were able to

leans much about Her country and her people while she learned much about us. One popular expression of her country might serve to describe her ambitious, conscientious nature — “If life gives you a lemon, make it a lemonade.” Upon leaving Brazil, Indiana, on June 10, Miss Passalacqua stated, “I will come

back.”

Foreign News Commentary By PHIL NEWSOM For more than a century the great British base at Aden, airless in the dry season, drenched at others by the monsoons, has stood as a symbol of British power in the Middle East. The British Empire reached its zenith under Queen Victoria, and British occupation of Aden at the tip of the Red Sea marked the first territorial acquisition of her reign. But, with Empire dwindled to i almost nothing and pressed by severe economic difficulties at home, Britain in 1968 will abandon the Crown colony of Aden and the 17 sandy sheikdoms, emirates and sultanates that compose the Federation of South

Arabia.

And already the would-be in-. heritors, Egypt and the Soviet! Union, are counting up the

spoils.

It was from Aden in 1961 that 1 a British task force blunted a! threat from Iraq against oil-1

rich Kuwait at tHe head of the Persian Gulf. And it was from Aden that a small force of British Marines in 1964 helped put down army rebellions in the newly independent African states of Tanganyika, Uganda and Kenya. As Britain retreats from east of Suez, it already has warned the loosely knit federations that it no longer can be responsible for the defense of South Arabia. South Arabia borders both on Yemen and Saudi Arabia, and even though it achieves constitutional independence in 1968, its future at present is dim. At the least it could be torn between the urban and comparatively sophisticated 250,000 residents of the bustling seaport of Aden, and the 500,000 others who live in the surrounding desert under the feudal and autocratic rule of the sheiks and sul-

tans.

At the worst it could bring all-out war between Egypt and Saudia Arabia, already at odds over Yemen. Meeting with British officials in London and hopeful of an orderly transition to independence are leaders of the South Arabian

Federation. Holding a hearing in Cairo Is a United Nations special committee on ending colonialism. Prominent among witnesses before the committee has been one Abdel Qawee Mackawae, ousted former Chief Minister of Aden and now a leader of the Cairo-supported National Liberation Front for occupied South Yemen. Occupied South Yemen is the term given South Arabia by Cairo. The front is the most important of the radical and national-

1st groups which for thn last three years have used terrorism in their attempt to oust British rule. The campaign has cost an estimated number of casualties. On the moderate side is the nationalist South Arabian league. It has refused to join the Nasserites. It is supported by Saudi Arabia and is said already to have stockpiled more than $100,000 in arms in case of civil war. Thus the battle lines are being drawn.
