Sherman, Benson; Mr. & Mrs,
e.el, Johns, R.R. Kirkton, and Mr.
& Mrs. Graham Arthur, Exeter.
The trip .combined business with
pleasure and lasted for ten days.
Eric Luther writes about his
impressions some of the eceees
they saw while visiting this
famous city.
BY ERIC LUTHER
We found the city of Rio de
Janeiro comprises an area within
the limits of 15 miles in length
and from 2 to 10 miles wide,
located among mostly green
mountains and blue sea. The city
was founded in 1565, ,by Estacio
de Sa who gave it the name of
Saint Sebastian'of Rio de Janeiro
in commemoration of this saint's
day.
For almost a century the small
settlement remained virtually
dormant, its activities confined to
planting sugar cane. It was only
in the 18th century when gold was
discovered in Minas Gerais that
Rio gained in importance becom-
ing one of the most widely used
ports for the export of minerals.
Rio soon replaced Salvador
(Bahia) as the Capital of the Vice
royalty in 1863, and in 1808 when
the Portuguese Royal Family
came to Brazil, Rio became the
cultural, politcal and economic
centre of the kingdom. During
that period the mint and the Bank
of Brazil were founded as well as
universities, newspapers, the
first gunpowder factory, the
School of Fine Arts and a number
of public services.
When Brasilia became the
capital in 1960 Rio ceased to be
the country's administrative
centre, and became the State of
Guanabara. However, its indus-
try and tourist trade did not stop
growing. In 1975 the city gained
greater 'significance as the
capital of the newly created State
of Rio de Janeiro, comprising 64
municipalities with a population
of 10 million.
The city has a privileged
location between the mountains
and the sea which enables the
tourist to enjoy all that is best in
nature. Over 50 miles of marvel-
lous beaches contrast with the
lush vegetation of parks and
gardens.
In this setting which both
'Cariocas' and tourists share
alike lies Rio, second largest city
in Brezil with a population of
aproxirnately 6 million; 56 per
cent are white, 16 per cent are
black and the balance are
colored. There is said to be no
discrimination as far as color is
concerned and intermarriage is
common. The natives of Rio -
known as 'Cariocas' - are a
happy, generous communicative
people, who seem to be able to
combine, business and the pleas-
ures generously provided' by
nature. We. found them to be a
very relaxed people who, ineriany
cases, have no hesitancy in
putting off until tomorrow that
which could be dote today,
Their very casual attitude
disappears when they get behind
the wheel of .a car, A ride in a taxi
is a most exciting experience and
not recommended for one with a
weak heart or problems with
blood pressure. A high percen-
tage of their cars are Volks-
wagens and this applies also to
their taxis in which case the right
front seat is removed to provide
easy access for passengers.
Drivers are continuously chang-
ing lanes and their ability to fit a
small car into a smaller space at
high speed is something to
behold.
Tour guides say that very few
accidents in Rio are of a minor
nature. On one short stretch of
double lane highway on the
PRODUCE
outskirts of the city where traffic
is extremely heavy there are a
reported 9 traffic deaths per
week.
• Tour guides say that approx-
imately 10 per cent of the
population of Rio are million-
aires. The average wage of the
ordinary worker is about $120 per
Month, and they'are apartment
dwellers, Social benefits are
limited and this results in
workers making a determined
effort to retain jobs. While they
work a small percentage of their
pay is withheld and is available to
them if they should become
unemployed. When those funds
are utilized there is no other
income.
There are numerous large
construction jobs all over the city
with many workers and limited
equipment being 'utilized. Public
transportation is by bus and the
cost is very reasonable -
cruzeiro(approxima tely 10 cents )
per fare.
The more populated districts
and the industrial areas are
located in the north. The leading
hotels and restaurants, the most
attractive shops and stores are
all concentrated in the south side.
The best and most fashionable
beaches are also located in the
south side. High rise apartments
and hotels line the shorelines of
the best beaches and apartment
rentals in those areas range
anywhere up to $2,500 per month.
As in any large city there are
slum areas and are known in Rio
as Tavelas'. Those slum areas
are located in the sides of the
mountains behind the city and, in
some cases, up to 100,000 people
are crowded into relatively small
areas with little if any services.
Shacks are built from any kind of
material available with no
sanitation or water or 'heat.
Water is obtained et a common
pump or water pipe and laundry
is done at some water hole. Raw
sewerage runs freely.
Soccer is the national sport in
Brazil and Rio has the largest
soccer stadium - The Marecana -
in the world. With a seating
capacity of 200,000, 106 feet high,
its construction required en
incalculable amount 9f building
materials. There are many
famous landmarks and parks.
The famous Sugar Loaf mountain
is accesable by cable car
carrying 70 passengers at one
time.
There are beautiful parks to
visit stich as Quinta da Boa Vista,
the Botanical Garden, Flamengo
Park and the huge Tijuea
National Park. In this park at a
high mountain peak called the
most
famous
Peak there is the
famous of all sights in Rio - a
statue of Christ the Redeemer - a
marvel of engineering 115 feet
high and weighing 1,145 tons. The
statue with outstretched arms
looks down on the city of Rio and,
at night, the illuOnated figure is
a sight very difficult to describe.
Because it is located on the top of
a high mountain there are times
when the entire base of the statue
is covered in fog or cloud leaving
the main part of the Christ figure
clearly visable and giving the
impression it is suspended in the
air,
This remarkdble scene has to
be very thought provoking parti-
cularly when one meditates on
Revelation Chapter One, Verse 7,
where it says "Behold, He
cometh with clouds; and every
eye shall see him".
