Two years ago the Rich family acted as host to a young Brazilian exchange student who lived with us for three months.. This year we were again very fortunate in that we now have two such students in our home. Their names are Gustavo Barbosa and Roberto Reis. Gustavo comes from the city of Recife which on the end of the hump sticking out into the is Atlantic ocean on the eastern edge of Brazil. Roberto is from Rio de Janero which used to be that countries capital and at 4 million plus is the second largest city in Brazil - Recife is 4th with 1,300,000. Gustavo's father was a Colonel in the army but was killed by a soldier - I have yet to find out the circumstances. He and his mother, a two and brother sisters live on the income younger from a pension earned by the father. Roberto's father and his father's brothers have a furniture business. His mother and father are divorced and his mother has remarried. His step father is vice president of the Getulio Vargas Foundation. Roberto's sister, Ranada, is also an exchange student. She is now in Flagstaff Arizona. the boys up in Las Vegas on Thursday- night when Roberto's plane came in - Gustavo, had been staying with our son Mike for a day. They were both quite tired from their long trip and by the time we got home at 6 a.m. on Friday morning, they were both ready for extended periods of bed rest. Saturday was spent in visiting at home with short walks around to become acquainted with our city - which soon made it evident that warm clothing was in order. Trips to the stores soon had them equipped with underwear and gloves, A short discussion with Bob Orton, manager of the FarWest factory here in town, soon had them equipped with warm jackets which they will take back to Brazil with them. On Sunday afternoon we took them into the canyon and introduced them to sleigh riding, which they found to be great fun and really did enjoy along with their coats, etc., which kept them very comfortable. We-pick- A Sleigh riding on the Little Res. road - a new experience for residents of the tropics in Bra- -' zil. They compare it with riding In the serf which they do at home in Recife and Rio. Our information is that there are about 1,000 of these young Brazilians here in this country at this time, staying in homes such as ours. They or rather their families have to come up with the money to pay the airplane fare and other expenses incident to the. trip. We provide them with a place to live , laundry, food and such as that. In return we and our family are able to learn much about a country we may never be able to see and about people in a way we could never hope to know otherwise. The cost of the program to the families of the students means, at least to me, that' the' future leaders of Brazil could well be going to school in this country at this time, here in Beaver and in other small towns and cities across our country, learning about us in a way which can never be duplicated be television or any other news media. When they return to their homes they will take with them memories of a different style of home life and of the friends they have been able to make and experiences shared while living in a strange country - needless to say, we hope their experiences will be pleasant and their memories fond. As we were together on Christmas eve with the kids singing the songs of the season and telling stories one to another, I couldn't help but think that it is unfortunate we cannot channel the money being used to buy bombs and pay for their delivery in Viet nam into a program such as this which would allow for an exchange of student - theirs to us and ours to them - between the countries. I can't help but believe it would be of far greater oeneitt. ng Prec 22 22 23 18 15 18 - 'T"K?TH'Xi'- WV'i X "'?TFPjm' not insurance bills ready for their consideration.

Land Bank Cuts Interest Rate Millard V. Owens, Manager of the Federal Land Bank Association of Richfield, announced today that effective January 1, 1973 the ti Federal Land Bank's Interest rate Is reduced to percent from percent. The Interest rate tobe charged borrowers hazing loans written at higher rates Is also reduced to 7- 12 percent. Commenting on the action Mr. Owens stated that the lower interest rate and the voluntary reduction of interest rate on existing loans is in line with the established policy of the Land Bank to provide farmers and real ranchers with long-ter- m estate loans at the lowest possible cost consistent with sound business. The bank's new loan Interest rate was reduced from 9 to percent In January 1971, from 8- 12 to 8 percent In March 1971, and from S to percent in March 1972. The leveling off of the bank's money costs in rceect months and the favorable outlook for 1973 have made it possible now for the Land Bank to offer the further reduced rate to agriculture.
