Phone 229-8244 Editor's Note.: Several people from -.the area recently returned from a trip to Rio Jrt Janeiro which seas sponsored by Hendex Homes Systems for executives and dealers, Among the 550 taking the exotic trip were Mr. & felts, Eric Luther, Mr. and Mrs. Andy Imense, Mr. & Mrs. Dave 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". 8y MRS.
