Recover stolen Turf safe A safe stolen from the Turf Bar in Milford Sunday morning as reported in an article on page r of The Mail-Journal has been recovered. Indiana state police recovered the safe Monday on SR 5 near Indian Village in Noble county. The safe was spotted by a 22 year old North Webster man, who was not identified, as he was driving along the state road. Trooper Lester Alligood responed to the call at 2:55 p.m. and reported it looked like the safe had been thrown from a car. The door of the safe was tom off and the money removed. Some papers left inside identified the safe as belonging to the Turf. An estimated SSOO was in the safe at the time of theft Capt. Roger Fellows of the Kosciusko county police department is presently continuing the investigation.

Rio to J'Burg — (Continued from page 1) It’s easy to see there are five times as many blacks as there are whites. And so, apartheid, a program of separating the races, is simply a matter of the white’s remaining in control of the country. But we were quickly told that "apartheid" is a distasteful word to the whites of this country. Rather, they like to term it “separate development.” Alma, our attractive and knowledgable guide, told us the whites pay for the schools in the Nack districts, and that their schools are designed to educate and perpetuate the cultures of the separate groups within the black community. But it's certainly more than this, for the blacks have all the menial jobs. Atop taxi cabs are signs reading “Net Blankes,” meaning “whites only.” There are separate doors to enter, separate restrooms, separate places to eat. separate taxis, separate cars on the trains, separate beaches, and so on. This is real-for-sure apartheid. We even saw newsstands where a partition separated the black from the white side, while one person waited on both sides. The whites tell us “they like it this way. They like to be by themselves.” But when one talks to the girls who come in to make up the rooms, and others doing similar menial tasks, we find it just isn’t so. They tell us. “We haven’t a chance, unless it is that some outspoken, forward whites take up our cause for us. And we saw' just such a woman, of high station, who carried a sandwich billboard on the streets of Cape Town, to the effect that it’s time to discard the apartheid program. There is a thing they call “pretty apartheid” which broadminded Afrikaaners are trying to set aside, but not at the expense of the entire program. But, then again, we aren’t here to rock the ship of state, for certainly we Americans haven’t a impeccable race relations in our own country. And Now Johannesburg Tom Coad of Renton, Wash., and Arch boarded an electric train at 8 a m. Saturday, Feb. 2, for a 40-minute ride to Muizenberg on the False Bay for a morning swim in the warm Indian Ocean, and were home at noon for our trip to Johannesburg. J’Burg. as the cities’ name has been shortened by the natives, is certainly the Opal of this part of the world. The second largest city on the African continent after Cairo, Johannesburg is burgeoning with new, modern buildings, and everything seems so clean and well kept. The city is the product of the gold strike which began in 1886 and is continuing strong to this day. Natives from the many South African tribes come to this area to mine the rich ore that has been the basis for the world’s monetary exchange. Diamonds are also a product of the Union of South Africa, but the mines are in the Kimberly area, and not around Johannesburg. While gold has been the underlying product that has brought untold prosperity to this part of the world, it should be pointed out that at this point in time there is considerable manufacturing here, also. From our window on the 23d floor of the two-year-old Carlton Hotel we can see any number of new highrise buildings going up. Right across the street. IBM, an American-based firm, is building a huge building. The Carlton Hotel is the largest hotel in the Southern Hemisphere with its 603 rooms and 30 stories. A part of the complex is the Carlton Towers, an office building with 50 floors and a spacious observation tower on top from which one can overlook the city on all sides. The Carlton has 200 shops and can park 2,000 cars. Its restaurants and bars make it a city within a city. It has a staff of 850 and three high speed elevators to render excellent top floor service. We Didn’t Do It When we arrived at our room in the Carlton last night. Saturday, Feb. 2, we found a copy of the Saturday edition of The Star in front of our door. It was a 32-page paper with a 16-page tabloid insert. Its pages-are 10 columns each and ads appear on the front page. Our group was intrigued by a lead story, dateiined Rio de Janeiro. It seems Scotland Yard caught a certain Ronald Arthur Biggs, who was involved in the multi-million dollar train robbery in England in August 1963, in room 909 of the Trocadero Hotel in Rio. Biggs had served two years of a 30-year sentence for his part in the record heist, then escaped. Now the irony is this: a week ago our group was billeted in the Trocadero and a single gal in our party, Helen Levinson of New Providence. N. J., was in room 911 — the very next room to the

J to & THE EDITOR

How about chess!

Dear Editor, I have a couple of questions that may interest readers of The Mail-Journal. Would you please print the following note in your paper, on the organizing of a chess tournament in our community? Question one — Why not organize a chess tournament for interested chess players in and around the Syracuse community? How would one go about

A job well done

Dear Editor: It isn’t often, so it seems, that anyone writes a letter to the editor for the purpose of complimenting someone on a job well done, especially our young people. I wish to offer my heartiest congratulations to the Syracuse elementary fine arts department and to the hundreds of students involved in their presentation of “The Wonderful World of Disney.” I was verymuch impressed with the music, art and choreography throughout the program. The hours of work, not to mention the talent, that must have gone into such an energetic undertaking staggers the imagination. But the result

Congratulations!

Dear Editor: Congratulations: to whoever laid out the front page of this week’s Mail Journal (February--13). The two headlines side byside “Hickory’s license revoked” and “OK given to clean Milford’s sewers" struck me as being so appropriate — Milford really cleaning up the town. Whether it was intentional or not. I got a big

Mission accomplished

Dear Editor: Nice to hear from another person interested in the survival of the ducks, squirrels, birds and other wild life. The writer confirmed the need for feed for these animals with the suggestion that more concerned persons take time to pick up corn from the fields that goes to waste, is a fine suggestion.

one Biggs had occupied. Helen’s only comment, “Believe me, I didn’t have a thing to do with it." Saw Mine Dancers This morning a number of our party went out to the City Deep gold mine just east of Johannesburg to witness a bantu (native) mine dance. There were 14 separate dances put on by members of the many tribes to come to the mines in the area to work. The dress of all of them was very colorful, and their dances different and distinct. No charge is made for this, but it is done for entertainment and in an effort to keep alive the 400-year-old traditions of the tribes. The dances took place in a large arena with concrete seats with the Slacks huddle together in half of the arena, and the whites who were there were in the other half. The dancers, all men, had dark, well-muscled bodies from hard work in the 10,000-foot-deep mine shafts. They all appeared happy, well fed and well adjusted to a life that has brought untold prosperity to this part of the world. Tomorrow we leave for Rhodesia, where, among other . things we will see the great Victoria Falls. We ll write more from there. Truck overturns on Indiana 13 A truck operated by Chadwick Hand overturned on Indiana 13 about one-half mile south of Syracuse at 10:24 a m. Thursday with an estimated $1,200 damage to the truck. No injuries were reported by investigating officers.

was well worth it. EVen old Walt himself would probably have been favorably impressed. And that finale! WOW! The Disney Studio has just completed its celebration of the first “50 Happy Years.” Let us hope that during the next 50 years, the Disney people may continue to provide family entertainment of the highest calibre. The Syracuse elementary program was certainly a fitting tribute to the man and his creations who have provided the world with so much fun and laughter. Again, congratulations on a job well done! Sincerely. Timothy M. Yeager
