directly behind the city is Ta-1 and early English settlers.
fhey do, however, claim no
relationship to the mother
countries and declare them
selves as South Africans.
They have, as does all Af
rica, what is known to us as
the colored problem and they
handle it in their own way.
The colored docs not vote and
are used strictly for labor.
Two Types Colored
By the colored here they
nave two types: (1) what is
caned the Cape colored,
which is a race of molatto and
high yellow who are decend
ants of the early Dutch, Eng
lish, German and Boers who
co-mingled with the blacks;
(2) the blacks who are natives
imported from the north for
labor purposes.
The Europeans, which all
whites are referred to and
the colored, which all blacks
are referred to, are governed
under strict segregation laws.
Their big headache now is
the "Morality Law" which
bans all co-mingling of the
races. This law means strict
ly that white and colored have
nothing in common with each
other, cannot visit or have any
social contacts. They can only
speak to each other for busi
ness purposes.
On our short visit in Cape
bie Mountain which rises
some 3,500 feet
The climate is similar to
San Franicisco. This is the
time of year just before win
ter which we know in Ore
gon as the fall and harvest
time.
In going through the central
market we saw all kinds of
pears, peaches, apricots, ap
ples, plums, corn on the cob,
tomatoes and all similar pro
duces of the Rogue valley, in
cluding gigantic watermelons
Tropical Fruit Sale
In addition, all types of
tropical fruits were on sale,
such as pineapples, bananas,
papaya, etc. First quality po
tatoes which were at least an
equal to those grown in the
Klamath river Lakcview area.
Potatoes were one cent a
pound (American), pears one
cent each for all varieties, and
this included what looked like
Bosc and Bartlett. Large red
tomatoes, worm free were
three cents American.
This is the largest city in
the South African Republic,
and by republic it is govern
ed by South Africans who are
of the white race and sprang
from the Portugese, Dutch

Linda Wright Gets

Ashland -Linda Wright,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W.
P. Wright, 159 Alida st., Ash
land, has won a National Sci
ence Foundation Graduate Fel
lowship award, one of 22 stu
dents in Oregon to receive this
type of graduate grant.
Miss Wright, who is a sen

Savings Bond Safes

treasury department has an
nounced.
Sales for the year through
March 31 this year tolald
$287,802. compared In sales
for the first three mon'.hs last
year of 1206,551.
Town of two days, tiiere were
three white suicides listed in
the paper.
In shopping and looking
around the city and in view
ing these well-dressed attract
ive Cape colored women, some
of them beautiful beyond
words, I can only say that
the law must have been
dreamed up and put into ef
fect through the jealousy of
the so-called European wom
en. It seems that each area has
its own colored problem, in
cluding our country, and from
what I have seen so far the
best way to handle any prob
lem, colored or otherwise, is
in its own backyard.
For an American to venture
his idea on how to whip the
colored problem in South Af
rica makes about as much
sense as a group of Freedom
Riders from Oregon trying to
straighten out the colored
problem in Georgia or Ten
nessee. Good Retirement Town
This would be a wonderful
town for retirement for any
one who had $.100 a month or
more income. It has ideal cli
mate, modern deluxe apart
ments with ocean view con
sisting of three bedrooms,
kitchen, dining, completely
furnished for $90 American
money.
Fruit, vegetables and meats
about one-half the cost of the
U.S.; gas at fifteen cents a gal
lon; good roads and good
schools; a do-it-all maid who
can also cook for $20 a month.
On the Friday evening be
fore arriving in Cape Town
we had an indescribable thrill
at sea just before 7 p.m. when
we saw John Glenn whip
over the coast of Africa. The
fire ball could be seen plainly
from the bridge of the ship.
Everyone cheered including
the Dutchmen and Europeans
in the crew.
After seeing the astronaut,
we went to the captain's cab
in to hear more about the
flight on the radio. In a short
legnth of time Glenn passed
over Guaymas, Mexico, the
Gulf over the Florida Coast
and set down.
There was a strange feel
ing to be sailing along the
African coast and see this Am
erican fly by.
