words are the friendIiness in the United States,
the thing of being able 10 meet people quickly
and to grow TO know them.
A YEAR ago my mother and ] drove across
n America, from Los Angeles to New York
We did not stay in the big hotels, which are
very nice when you are trying not TO ma out
about a country. We stayed in the auto-courtS,
the hotels and the drive-in sleeping places. Some
times we stopped and talked to farmers.
We went to see breakfast food made IN one
place. i think talked to maybe 200 people /
did not say;
slow do you like Brazil and the BraLilians?"
and "What do you think OF this and that hocus
pocus?" -,
/ lust talked to them, as I hope people will
talk TO my countrymen after the war. / talked
about little things. When we WIN the war
hope that many North Americans will go To
Brazil and talk TO my countrymen as nave
talked to yours, Walter
In Brazil / used TO think that America was
a very chromium sort OF place, with many fast
cars high buildings and the other things which
are printed as pictures in magazines. Perhaps
IL is the same here, when you read about Brazil
and you say
.Ah. coffee. And people who do the Sambs.
And wear hats made out OF fruit and flowers"
These things are nice 10 know and think
about both Brazil and the United States But
what is important to find out is that the people
are working in both places, that they are making
things with their hands and growing food
That they have much TO laugh and cry over.
And Nat they exactly underneath, the same
klnO OF people, WHO are llglHB W BSN o'Ohb AZ
the world.
Maybe everybody knows this; maybe not.
But / think il is important i think II is the
thing which realty makes Goodwill. 1t makes Tor
what they call Neighborlness when you find out
that the people in the country around a corner
OF the earth Just like the people around

IN BRAZIL. young girl must have chaperon
L when she goes out. In America she goes alone
with her man friend But they both manage
10 fall in love and perhaps get married That
Is the important thing, and not the superficial!

So my friend Walter. when you see me with
funny flowers my turban and doing Samba
and singing song in "Springtme in the Rockies.
il doesn't mean you know anything about Brazil
/ am not Brazil any more than Gypsy Rose
Lee is North America Greta Carlo is Sweden
am only one Brazilian woman, who says some
thing about the color and beauty OF my country.
1t is only very little part Of what my country is
To know what Brazil is you must go there
and travel away frog Rio You must see Rio
but only a part OF your trip.
And when I return to Brazil / shall tell them
that North America is neither Hollywood nor
New York-but much. much more.

what q nice place il is about the good people
When North Americans go 10 Brazil they sec
the Sugarloaf and the ChristuS on the high noun
tain and they go 10 the fine shops which are
like Paris was, and they swim AT Copocabana
Beach, and they say

This is not true They know Rio, just as |
know Hollywood and New York but they do
not know Brazil. II is the sin Of all tourists.
that they know the capitals and the shops, but
not the country and the people.

only a little. / say because ! hope that
after the war when the bonds OF friendship be-

before, North Americans who 60 TO Brazil viii

Huge Volume Seen

A huge volume of new home con.
struction, with many new and un.
usual features and conveniences
may be expected in the Detroit
area In the postwar period. In the
opinion Saturday of William l.
McGiverin, president of McGiverin.
Elliott Company.
Thousands Of families who
have given up any thought of
building for the duration are
looking forward to home build
ing and ownership when peace
comes and are making financial
plans now for their postwar
homes" McGiverin said.
"War bond savings for this
purpose appear to be on the In
crease, while a steadily incress-
ing interest In and purchase Of
vacant land for future building
indicates that many people arc
fully realizing that the war

spending, of accumulation and
preparation for the future"

Bliss. manager Of the property

War Production
Seen Affecting
Housing Trend
Effect Of Express
Highways Evident.
Taylor Points Out

The greater Detroit area Is de
rapidly under the pres
sure of demands for war produc
ton and this development viii
have a pronounced effect on after
the-war home building and on tht
future of Detroiters. B. E. Taylor
president Of the Association fol
Future Security, said Saturday.
"New, modern war production
plants employing from several
hundred up to several thousand
men have been and are being
built In many suburban and
semisuburban areas" Taylor
said.
Huge highway projects with
traffic separations, limited ac-
cess expires features, and other
similar advanced engineering
elements are speeding up the
trend toward new concept or
living and of community devel-
Opment, with modern industrial
plants locating just outside Of
large population centers In easily
accessible, uncOngested areas
with plenty of parking space.
EDident Effect
"The effect Of this trend on
future home development will be
evident. New homes Will be
built accessible to new highways
and the new decentralized indus
trial structures.
''When war restrictions on
home building are removed,
thousands of new homes will be
demanded I'm greater Detroit.
Thousands of people, following
the general plan outlined and
advocated by the Association for
Future Security, will own free
and clear land upon which to
build, and will have a substan-
tial war bond building fund es-
tablished and ready to enable
them to go ahead with their
after-the-war home"
Guy S. Greene, president o
Hannah Real Estate Exchange
pointed out Saturday that today!
land buyers should prepare fol
after-the-war home building b,

fund and adding TO it regularl,
with war bond purchases.
Detroit evening times., 1942-10-04
Buy Land Now'

'War bond buyers should buy
land now upon which to build
after the war" Greene declared.
AT the same time they should
increase their war bond holdings
to a point that will make home
ownership easily possible when
the war ends.
MANY war bond buyers seem
to have no definite goal In mind
for which to save. They look
with regret upon the things they
might buy today with the money
they are putting into war bonds.
"Others are cashing their
bonds, failing to realize how
much these bonds can mean to
them in the years ahead II &C
