Upon entering the beautiful harbor of Rio de Janeiro We Were impressed by a sight of rare beauty. First is the 1200-foot Sugar Loaf Mountain, which is now topped by a huge tele- vision antenna. Stretching to Sugar Loaf was the thin Wire supporting the only means of reaching the mountain top, the cable car. Then, near the city, is Mt. Corcovado, at the 2320- foot summit of which stands the dramatic 120-foot statue of Christ the Redeemer CChriste Re- demptorb. In our memories of Rio it is certain that these two landmarks will never be forgot- ten. For those Who made the trip to the Summit, or to Sugar Loaf, the magnificent view of the beaches and harbor, especially at night, will give us something Worthwhile to remember.

liberty in fabulous . . . , . ff , .-.51 If if A Portuguese conquistador Mem de Sa mistakenly named the port Sao Sebas- P tiao de Rio de Janeiro fSaint Sebastian of the River of Januaryb. The early Portu- guese followers of Brazil's discoverer, Pedro Alvares Cabral, took the name Brazilians, or gatherers of Brazil wood. Since that time the' names Rio de J aneiro and Brazil have remained. These two names cast a spell on the imagina- tion of the North American. Early exploration was difficult, due to the north-south direction of most of the rivers. The discovery of gold in Minas Gerais at the end of the 17th century caused Rio to boomg it later became the capital of Brazil. Napoleon forced the King of Por- tugal to flee to Brazil in 1808, and Rio was, for a time, the capital of all Portugal. With foreign investments it has become one of the leading cities of the world. The old Rio of world fame, noted for its mosaic marble sidewalks, is still young in spirit. This is proven by the friendliness and gaiety of the people. It is also reflected in the very beautiful modern architecture.
