STAK.NIWS, SUMtUY. JULY M. South American Melting Pot il: Old, New Mingle In Big Land of Contrast By KENNETH COOK Staff Correspondent Brazil is a big land of. big contrasts. On a recent trip to the state of Mato Grosso in the geo-j graphical heart of South America, I- saw conditions much like those in the western part of my native state of Nebraska 5t years ago.

This is in sharpesl contrast with the modern bust- selves vary'' most interestingly from section to section. Brazil is a true racial melting pot and in the big coastal of Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo especial ly, one sees people of all shades from blond Scandinavians to the darkest skinned Negroes. The predominant racial influence is Portuguese, and Brazil is the only Portuguese speaking na- ling cities of Brazil's east coast 'ion in Latin America. where high-rise apartments and ifihe modern i buildings dominate the. skyline.

Not only is there geographical contrast, but the people them-, in Brazil, I visited my daughter and her family in Rosario Oesto (Rosary of West), Mato Grosso. They are he Moore and their three daugh tcrs, Cynthia, Linda, 1, an Deborah, 3. My daughter, Nan cy, is a graduate of the Stan ford School of Nursing an the. village of Rosari (population 2,000) and the sur rounding area in i i emergency and routine healti and education.

After innoculating about 20 children at the Inho fazenda, we flew to Laurino, another smal ranch community a where Nancy gave DPT shots to another 25 children and Pastor Mark and an elder of Rosario congregation, Edwardo de Brito Ferreira, who served as a secretary for the trip, distri buted Food for Peace powderet milk and anti-malaria pills to the population.
