WORLD'S FASTEST GROWING CITY LOOKS LIKE THE MODERN
• INDUSTRIAL GIANT OF THE U.S.
It’s down in the Tropics, al-
most exactly on the Tropic of
Capricorn, where Brazil claims
the world’s fastest growing city.
This modern industrial giant,
with a population reaching to-
wards 2,000,000, has increased in
size almost eight times since 1900,
more than 50 times since 1870.
It’s true that previous to 1870 it
had spent more than 300 years as
a modest size, somewhat pro-
vincial, community. But the spirit
of adventure which made the
Paulistas of the past the greatest
pioneers and jungle-conquerors
of the New World has really blos-
somed in modern times, and to-
day they have built their city in-
to the greatest mercantile and
industrial center of all Latin
America.
Somehow, everything is “su-
per” in Sao Paulo! It has the
world’s tallest library (22 sto-
ries), the biggest and newest
of sports stadiums, some of the I Only one thing could stop us, and
finest hospitals, the most beauti-
ful parks. Though it has nearly
29,000 factories, it can even boast
of being one of the world’s “clean-
est” cities. And though it is grow-
ing so fast that an average of
five new buildings are completed
every working hour, it takes pride
in being one of the “best planned”
cities in the modern tradition.
. I
Industrially it manufactures and
exports in a dozen major fields,
though textile weaving, with
1,200,000 spindles, is the biggest
Paulistan business. Capital of the
state of Sao Paulo, where is grown
almost half of the coffee con-
sumed in the U. S., it is also the
business center of a great agri-
cultural empire.
Where is it going from here?
Dr. Adhemar de Barros, progres-
sive-minded governor of the State
of Sao Paulo, recently provided
an answer on the occasion of the
opening of the first Sears Roe-
buck store in South America (the
biggest Sears opening of all its
I 622 stores in point of both crowds
and sales, naturally!) •
Said Dr. de Barros: “We are
about 20th in world population
now: But in a generation or so
from now, you will count us at
least among the first half dozen.
that would be the discovery that
fast growth would require a com-
promise w’ith a high standard of
health, education and enjoyment
of life. Those are the major re-
quirements to our plans. We think
they can be met.”
Which is just about the best set
of basic principles the world’s
fastest growing city could adopt!

MIND OVER MATTER
Nine-year-old Strader Taylor, Ponder, Texas, 4-H boy
proved it was simply a case of mind over matter when he
won best hog showmanship honors at the annual Denton
County Future Farmers of America and 4-H Clubs Fat
Calf and Hog Show at Denton, Teas. Strader weighed in
at 62 pounds while the hog tipped the beam at 290. The
hog, on its own, merits, could only place tenth in its class.

Competition Sought
In Interscholastic
| partment of Education and the De-
partment of Public Safety.
“Teaching safety to your people
give the schools one their great-
est opportunities for service,” Mr.
Berry said. "Governor Jester re-
cently described the driver train-
ing program as ’The greatest safe-
ty stride of all.’ A safe driving
contest would stimulate greater
interest in driving skill and would
promote the spread of driver
1 training to schools not now offer-
ing it.”
The goal of the school program,
’ Mr. Berry said, is for every high
school graduate to get a driver’s
license along with his diploma.
About half’The secondary schools
are now teaching safety courses,
’ but only a part of these give ac-
1 tual behind-the-wheel training.
The driving course in Levelland
high school has proved to be a
very popular course according to
Mr. G. C. Clapp principal, about
30 drivers were licensed the first
semester and they exepct to license
20 more this spring. |
“Interscholastic League compe-
tition would stimulate to even
more interest in the course,” was
Mr. Clapps opinion and added that
this school would be in favor of
such a program.
Students or graduates of ap-
proved courses, holding valid
drivers licenses and never having
been involved in a collision or a
moving traffic arrest would be eli-
gible for the contest. •
The competition would follow
the usual pattern, beginning with
the local school and cohtinuing
through district, regional and state
competition. Cars would be turn- ’
ished to the schools by the Texas
Automotive Dealers Association.
High School students may be
able to compete soon in a contest
to determine the boy and girl safe
driving champions of Texas.
Such contest will be proposed to
officials of the Interscholastic
League at a statewide meeting of
delegates May 7 in Austin, it was
announced this week by George
Berry.
Mr. Berry is regional vice presi-
dent of the Texas Safety Associa-
tion, which actively sponsors
driver training in the schools
throughout the state. The contest
is being proposed jointly by the
Safety Association, the State De-
ri
