Black at the Meeting o/Ministers 01 Finance or EcollOray at the Fourth Extraordinary Meeting 01 the Inter-American Economic and Social Council at Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, November 24, 1954. There appears to be a real prospect, I am happy to say, that the Bank now may be jointed by an associated institution in the field of economic development. I am referring, of course, to the proposed International Finance Corporation. This idea has been vigoro.usl y espoused by the Latin American countries ever since it was first expressed three years ago. And their repeated and continuous support for the idea, at the Annual Meetings of the Bank and at many other international meetings, has been an impressive indication of the hopes with which this project is regarded in the Hemisphere. The recent decision by the Administration in Washington, to advocate in the Congress that the United States participate in the Coiporation, was a most welcome one to me, both officially and personally. I hope, and have every confidence, that other capital­ exporting nations also will soon declare their intention to support the Corporation. We in the Bank expect to move promptly in carrying the project forward, and to be able to present specific and detailed proposals to our member governments at an early date. Let me repeat, as I have said many times, that I personally am convinced that the Corporation will provide a valuable stimulus to international investment in the underdeveloped counuies.

HOFFMAN TRANSPORT, INC. 485 MASON DIXON ROAD GREENCASTLE PA 17225 (717) 597 7117 www.hoffmantransport.com The First New Year was in March New Year’s wasn’t always celebrated on January 1. The earliest New Year festivities date back about 4,000 years. At that time, the people of ancient Babylon began their new year in what we now call March. They would have an 11-day festival to celebrate the beginning of spring and the fact that crops were being planted for the coming year. Who changed it to January 1st? The calendar that we use, which is known as the Gregorian calendar, was introduced 400 years ago by Pope Gregory XIII in 1582. He declared once and for all that January 1 should be New Year’s Day. And since that time, much of the western world has celebrated the start of the year just like you do—on the first day of January. How does everyone celebrate? In Greece, a gold or silver coin is baked into a cake, called a vasilopita.

Born on New Year’s Eve Born on New Year’s Eve Sharing a Memory For devoted fans of Elvis, their dreams came true with a rare New Year’s Eve concert in 1975. Elvis fan Wendy recaps what she describes as “the best night of her entire life”. At the time, the Silverdome was one of the biggest and most unique stadiums. I remember it was huge and cold, and the sound wasn't the greatest; but none of that mattered in the least to me. I was about to be in the same room (okay, super huge room) with my idol. I remember when the strains of 2001 (Space Odyssey) started, my heart pounded with every beat of the drum. Everyone searched the stage wondering from where Elvis might enter. When he did--I believe coming up from under the stage somewhere, and in all his glory--the lights from the flashbulbs on the cameras (which is what we used back then) was like a lightning storm that lit up the entire place. I wasn't even close to the stage. I was very high up and far away, and had to use binoculars to see him, but there he was! From the first note to the last, I felt every song and every note was sung to me. That was the magic of Elvis. Everyone felt that way.
