FUNK Journal-Standard Reporter Blue-eyed Indians and Brazilians who scorn Brazil nuts but eat "library paste soup" were only a few of the fascinating characters whom members of Woman's Club and their guests met Saturday afternoon in a filmed jaunt down "The Mighty Amazon," with Julian Gromer, award-winning travel film producer. The blue-eyed Indians, said Gromer, are the only reminder of 200 Southerners who after the Civil War, despairing of life Sevenfh Grade Dance Richard Haight and Kristine Udwig were crowned king and queen of the Seventh Grade Sub- Debs "April Swirl" Saturday evening.

Rachel B. Murrell, Chicago 32 Start (Continued from Page One) William Pittsley Is publicity chairman. An informative dinner will be held Tuesday evenings at which leaders from each parish will be briefed on the campaign objec lives and plans. Representatives of a profes sional fund-raising firm are here to fielp organize the United Catho lie campaign effort without slaves, settled down in the Amazon Valley and tried to enslave the natives. Instead, they were assimilated into the native culture and can be distinguished from the true Indian only by coloring.

The "library paste soup" popular in Brazil is made of manio- ca, chief ingredient of postage- stamp mucilage, starch and tapioca. Brazil nuts, he added, are exported because natives don't want to wait out the one- year aging period necessary before consumption. World's Largest River Gromer began his 30-day, mile trip up the Amazon at Belem, Brazil, on a tributary 80 miles from the Altantic coast near the mouth of the world's largest river. This isolated jungle town of 300,000 population, he said, is incongruously full of ultramodern buildings and homes. At Rockefeller Foundation, American doctors study yellow ever and fight the mosquito, killer of more Brazilians than snakes and the piranha, man-eating fish.

Now that DDT spraying is common in Belem, said Gromer, some American cities have more mos- quitos than the tropical city. At the mouth of the Amazon Is Marajo Island, an area the size of Switzerland, owned by 20 ranchers. Gromer described how these "cowboys" live in huts on stilts which stand in water two months of the year (the Amazon each year floods an area the size of Texas along its banks), raise zebu (hump-backed cattle) and water buffalo. Boa constrictors which dine on calves and the deadly spines of the gray palm which catch grown cattle like spider webs catch flies are unique hazards of these ranchers. Jungle Cowboys Like their ancestors, said Gromer, the cowboys load cattle into boats for market with a rope tied about the cow's neck.

They laboriously lift the choking cow through the air with a hand pulley and deposit it on the deck, even though the animal could easily walk across on a ramp. Even in this primitive setting, however, a mechanical sewing machine was found. After visiting the island, Gromer caught a paddle wheel river boat at Belem and started up the Amazon, a river so wide and deep that ocean liners can travel 2,300 miles up it. The only land visible was that of islands, for the banks are up to 40 miles apart. Most towns, said Gromer, are along the tributaries, which have cleaner water than the silty Amazon.

Drink Rooster Blood A "contamble" ceremony, complete with throbbing drums, frenzied dancing and the drinking of the blood of roosters, was filmed by Gromer in a small village populated by natives descended from Indians and African slaves imported by Portuguese colonists. Most inhabitants of the Amazon Valley, said Gromer, are Indian- Portuguese and speak Portuguese, while Spanish is spoken throughout the remainder of South America. Gromer stopped at the largest floating dock in the world in Manaus, rubber capital of'South America. Here elaborate build- tngs imported piece by piece from Europe recall the wealth of rubber barons, who Gromer said, saw their greatest glory before 1913. A 10 million dollar opera house, the most expensive in the was brought from Europe, as were the performers.

The singers' fees were 10 times the usual charge, added Gromer, because of the danger of dying of yellow fever. The opera singers have been replaced now by a Saturday movie shown to children, he said. Break Rubber Monopoly Gromer described how Brazil's monopoly on rubber was broken by an Englishman, who absconded with some rubber seeds and planted them in Malaya, which subsequently became' the world's leading rubber producer. Thousands of rubber trees stand in Brazil as a reminder of Ford Corporation's attempt to produce its own rubber. Gromer said that an inadequate labor supply, only one-half person per square mile, squelched the plan.

The jungle flowers shown through time-lapse photography bursting into bloom in Gromer's film, were used as the theme by Mrs. Frank M. Svancar to decorate the tea table. White jonquils and ferns arranged in dugout canoes on blue foil carried out the tropical theme Delegates selected for the Dis trict Convention in Rochelle Thursday were Mmes. E.

City Forester Warns Vandals Taking Signs City Forester Robert Murray reported this morning that 40 out of 140 signs used to mark tree spraying areas were missing this morning at 7 o'clock from their positions in an area between Empire street and the Beltline road and Galena and West avenues. All but 15 of the signs were recovered, however, by 9:30 a.m. but some were bent and others damaged in other ways, he said. Those signs recovered were found in various parts of the city and were apparently taken by pranksters. It not so funny, however, Murray said, since the 8x16 inch signs belong to the Rockford Public Works Dept.

and not to the City of Freeport. Their removal also hampers the efficiency of spraying crews. For these reasons, he said, anyone caught tampering with or removing these signs will be prosecuted. The tree spraying program is progressing well, except for weather obstacles, Murray said. In the 43 hours of actual spraying, which began April 1, the major portion of the southeast section of the city has been sprayed.

N. Walnut and W. Galena Phone AD 2-MU "New York City has something to teach Illinois on how to reduce the enormous expense of public medical care for the aged," Rep. Harold Widmer reported today after a two-day visit of day-care centers in New York. Widmer flew to New York Wednesday night with two other members of the legislative study committee for the Public Aid Commission.

The three representatives spent Thursday and Friday visiting day-care centers for the aged and for children in New York. "New York has found it can actually maintain these centers at public expense at a saving of other relief funds," he said. For The Aged The day-care centers for the aged are kept open daily from 8 to 5, with voluntary workshops in weaving, painting, ceramics and other activities. The Illinois legislators also saw the work of private hospitals in giving out-patient care for the aged designed to keep them from becoming chronic bed patients. "It's a new trend to combine these services in day-care cen ters," Rep.

Widraer said. "It's amazing bow New York City has cut its medical bills with these new approaches. With people living are 7,000 persons in the United States who are over have to find a means to keep people healthy. The medical cost is staggering in Illinois for relief patients." Children, Too Another foorm of day care In New York is providing centers for children from 3 to 6 years, sometimes extended to 9 years, which provide trained teachers to care for children while their mothers work. "This makes it possible for mothers receiving aid for dependent children to work, and so cuts down the amount of public help needed.

In addition, the children get good training. This program also has proved that it pays its own way with actual saving of public funds." There are 113 of these centers for children In New York City. Widmer, Chairman William Robinson of Chicago and Rep. Jack Walker of Lansing made the trip. On Flood Control Widmer flew to Washington from New York, and spent Saturday discussing the Freeport flood situation with friends in the Senate and House of Representatives.

He said, "It is certainly getting consideration, but has to be part of an omnibus bill, and will have to be tied in with a program for the whole area, including Wisconsin communities. "We are going at it the wrong way now," he said, "working for our own project alone." Asked if an interstate flood control project would not take a long time to work out, he said: "It is the way they tell me this thing will have to be done, even if it does take longer." On Armory Widmer also investigated the situation on funds to complete the National Guard Armory. Volunteers working in the kitchen while the armory was serving as the Red Cross shelter had to carry in water from the shower rooms, as the sink in the kitchen has not been connected. Local authorities asked state help in getting the hookup, and were told it is the federal appropriation which is needed to finish the interior and the grounds. Widmer said he was assurec the appropriation will go through EICHMEIER FUNERAL HOME 440 W.
