Visit Sugar Loaf —

(Continued from page 1) magnificent view of the entire city. From atop Sugar Loaf one can see innumerable beaches and high rise buildings. Looking down on the city, one feels a similarity to San Francisco, yet there is no similarity at all. Many large formations \we’re told they are granite) jut out of the water, giving the view a unique nature. It takes a large amount of bridges and tunnels (29 of them!) to connect the various sections of the city. En route back to the Trocadero Hotel, our guide recommended the Real Restaurant as a favorite place to eat. We took his advice, and for a fact we had a delicious meal there. Those of our party who ate there, walked about two miles back to our hotel. On the way back we heard a small musical group — it could hardly be called a band — And of course we had to see what it was all about. Finally, the band moved out and down the street. The “band'’ was made up of five or six drums, several trombones and trumpets, and an assortment of tambourines The “music” amounted to a drumbeat which made no rhyme or reason to us. but it brought something out of the natives. Some youngsters we noticed were five or six years old, while others were up in their sixties and seventies The group following, amounting to about 500 people, did their soft shoe step to the drum beat of the musical group for nearly a half mile with us walking along the sidewalk taking pictures. It reminded one of a celebrated New Orleans funeral dirge We were told these things begin spontaneously this time of year as a prelude to the festival that electrifies all of Rio It makes one wish he could be here for the festival Visit Christ the Redeemer Our Monday tour was rounded out with a bus ride through the tropical Tijuca Forest where we saw a large waterfall coming from the rocky hills The foilage was beautiful throughout the Tijuca Forest area, and it was the occasion for considerable pic-ture-taking by members of our party. In the morning Tom Coad of Renton. Wash . a member of our group visiting the Mid-East in 1972 and our trip to the South Pacific last year, joined us. Business kept him in Washington a day longer than expected, so he joined us a day late. Tom, an excellent writer, turned up with a new Nikkon camera and a large, complicated telescope lense The drive up Corcovado mountain is another “must" for anyone visiting Rio de Janeiro for be first time, we were told For atu> this mountain is the largerthaiAife Christ The Redeemer.

We came to a rest area, from which we finally boarded smaller Volkswagen vans, about five of us per van. Then came another ride on the final leg. But that wasn’t all: the final challenge was the 200 steps which finally brought us to our destination. The huge statue of Christ with outstretched arms is a familiar picture on any brochure that comes out of Brazil. The statue is ten stories tall (120 feet) and weighs 1,145 tons, with a black marble base. The statue is made out of cement. General Electric has erected a series of strong lights, directed at the statue, and at night it can be seen in its illuminating brilliance from almost anywhere in Rio. Our guide told us the Catholic community of Rio, which makes up well over 70 per cent of the population, first conceived the idea of the statue of Christ, but that finally a voluntary public subscription made it a reality. En route back to the Trocadero Hotel we were told special taxis from the Hans Stem jewelry firm would take any of us who so desired to their downtown store Actually, it’s more than a store. They process valuable jewels there, and visitors can see artists fashion jewelry from the drawing board to the finished product. H. Stem, at 45. has made the Brazilian aquamarine, topaz, tourmaline and amethyst gems a thing of beauty to be desired by the fashionable set the world around. The tour of the plant over, we were escorted into a booth to be given some personal attention by a discreet and knowledgable young lady, directed at our desire to make a purchase. The gems were beautiful, to be sure, and expensive! The young lady could say “four thousand" with the practiced ease with which she could say "four hundred " We brought it all down to one eye-catching three and a half carat aquamarine ring with small diamonds on either side “It’s only $774.19.” she said. “We ll be glad to take your personal check." she proffered, making it all the more difficult to resist. The only "out" we could think of was that we'd have to think about it a while longer. We took her card and left, sure that there would be other "bargains” offered us before we returned home. It’s interesting to note, however, that most all good hotels in Rio, Brasilia, and in the airports there are H. Stem jewelry shops. Hans has come a long way, we thought, since coming to Brazil in 1939 from Essen. Germany, as a 16-year-old son of a Jewish immigrant. Meet Others Later Monday afternoon, after another swim in the irresistible waters of Copacabana beach, we called Angela and Mario Richards on the telephone and were fortunate enough to make contact with them. Their young daughter “Lo”

was an exchange student several years ago at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Al Moss, our longtime newspaper friends from Flora. Ind. We had met Mrs. Richards only briefly at the Hilton Hotel in Indianapolis several years ago, but hardly remembered her. What we thought would be a brief "hello” in our hotel lobby turned out to be a two-hour visit which proved more fruitful to us than to the Richards. Mario is a stockbroker and speaks verylittle English, but Angela, fluent in five languages, displayed expert command of the English language. It being January and hot around Rio. Mr. and Mrs. Richards and their six children are spending the holidays at their summer home in the mountains. We were lucky enough to catch them on the telephone while they came to their Rio home to get some clothing. Another pleasant occasion Tuesday was meeting Doug and Marion Attaway of Shreveport. La., and Bob and Ann Fackelman at the Gloria Hotel in Rio.

The Attaways, owner of the Shreveport Journal, a CBS-TV affiliate and several papers in Texas, were with us in 1971 in Africa and in the Mid-East in 1972 and have become fast friends. The Fackelmans were with us last year in the South Pacific and Orient. They just arrived Monday evening en route home from a four-week trip to the Antarctic. They had flown in from Buenes Aires, Argentina, and Sao Paulo, arriving in the late afternoon. We, and other members of our party who also knew the Attaways and Fackelmans, got together for a late night session to rehash old times on previous trips and to do some wishful planning for others to come. We had one of those famous Rio taxi rides over to the Gloria Hotel and back again, in a tiny Volkswagen, dodging in and out • of traffic that would make a Chicago taxi driver blush. It was good to be back at the Trocadero, for we had a big day planned for Tuesday. We were scheduled to go to Brasilia, the

all-new capitol city of Brazil. It was now past midnight. We called down and told the hotel night clerk to call us at 4 a.m. Town plan commission to meet February 21 Notice is given this week of a meeting of the Syracuse town plan commission on Thursday.

Three week end accidents due to slippery conditions

Three week end accidents were investigated by Syracuse police and all three were related to slippery road conditions. A hit and run driver was reported as going through a picket fence sometime Saturday night at the Dale Sparklin property, 100 W. E. Long drive, leaving an estimated $75 in damage. At 9:45 a.m. Sunday, police investigated a two-vehicle mishap in the parking lot at Hook’s drug store south of Syracuse. The mishap occurred as a 1972 Ford operated by Craig Eckert, 20, r 4 Syracuse, skidded into the rear of a parked 1970 Ford belonging to Frank and Marlene Andrews of r 3 Syracuse. Damage to the Eckert auto was listed at $235 with $175 to the Andrews car. The third accident was

reported at 4:45 p.m. Sunday as Harold Caulley backed his 1962 Buick from his drive on West Washington street in Syracuse and hit a parked 1971 Chevrolet belonging to James R. Howard of Syracuse. An estimated $275 damage was given to the Chevrolet with nothing to the Btiick.
