"They're absolutely paranoid about foreign reporters they believe are spreading lies about their country," Gelber said."It's really an inter esting thing about what happens to people when they’re deprived of news and information about what's happening in their own world." Gelber said he has met this hostility and mis trust of the media in dealings with his own rela tives in that country, taxi drivers and even "bright” South African law students. Me said he was emotionally moved by a piece he produced in 1985 on the people of Mathopestad, South Africa, who were facing forced migration to a homeland. The white government had ordered this com inunity of successful. agrarian ..pit; off to out* of four pseudo-independent. internationally tin recognized "homelands" a land most of the blacks in Mathopestad had never smi hetore "I'vt; done a lot of news stories and none ol them affected nte nearly as mm h as this one did."

"Some of the local customers were down on the University, saying that students just come and go out of town and don't give anything back to the com munity," Mayars said "My idea was to shew that the stu dents coming into the commu nity from foreign countries were doing more for the world situation than all the diplomats combined." The map indicates that sever al students from Norway have visited the shop Mayars told of one Norwegian customer who was asked how the weather was that day. "He said. ‘Cod. it's hot!' and it was only 70 degrees out side.’’ Mayars said. There’s hardly an area on the map that isn't represented by at least one pin.
