"Tt works fine. No fights, no) arguments. It costs me £10 if I touch one of them. It's not worth it for £10. A few bob (shillings), maybe. "We see them as children. You don't 'play with them. You're not too nice to them. They like it their way and we like it ours." | This man, like the majority of South Africa's white people, supports Prime Minister Hend- rik Verwoerd's racial policy of apartheid, an Afrikaans word meaning "separateness." Verwoerd and his lieutenants, however, would deplore the taxi driver's contemptuous terms-- and perhaps also his conversa- tional use of pounds and shil- lings, now displaced by Rand currency in South Africa. It is the sort of anecdote that irritates many South Africans, who feel that foreign observers blacken the name of their coun- try by relating only superficial and sensational aspects «° apar- theid. : The couniry's popuiation' of 17,473,000 is made up of 11 na- tional: groups--eight Bantu, or African, divisions totalling 11,- 915,000, a Colored (mixed blood) group of 1,703,000, 520,000 Asians and 3,335,000 whites. DEFINE POLICY | The official line is: | Transkei, opened for business at the end of 1963 with some internal self-government. The| plan is that eventually the; 7,500,000 Bantu now living in white areas will be drawn off enjoy a measure of equality) with the white fatherland. "It is foreseen that the even tual relationship between the Bantu and the European will] develop into a Commonwealth pattern and, economically, into a form of South African Com- non-Europeans. Then they go to separate bus seats. Perhaps they should walk along separ- ate, marked lines after leaving the buses, too. "It is items likc this that ito the homelands which would|make this country the laughing Stock of the European world--j lack of consistency.

European: in-| mon market--in other words,/fants on their backs--do they political independence and eco-jhave a board placed between) {moral nomic interdependence." Critics describe the whole thing as a sham or a fantasy, stating that the Bantustans, often fragmented, comprise less than 14 per cent of the country's territory. Black population in white areas, deprived of rights, is increasing, not decreasing, because means of livelihood are} lacking in the homelands. | Why was the policy adopted? The government quotes from a book by a former prime minis- ter, the late Field Marshal Jan Christian Smuts, who said only separate development could en- sure public order and save the "natives" from being swamped, Also, "'the mixing of two such alien elements as white and black leads to unhappy social results -- racial miscegenation, them and their charges?' But heartbreak, not laughter, is often the companion of apar- theid. An African woman, widow of a colored man, was prevented from living with her daughter, on whom she was dependent An official of the Institute of Race Relations gave this exam- le: "If a white man marries a colored woman, he is classed as colored, But if she dies, he be- comes white again. This can have great consequences on on the children." The official added: "The main objection to the whole thing is that it simply won' work. Sometimes it reaches fantastic lengths." deterioration of both, racial antipathy and clashes, and to many other forms_of social evil.'

Baltimore kept its title chances alive Saturday when converted halfback Tom Matte, son of a former Canadian pro- fessional hockey player, and veteran Ed Brown quarter- backed the Colts to a 20-17 vic- tory over Los Angeles Rams. Then on Sunday, Brodie capped the finest season of his career by leading the '49ers to a 24-24 tie with Green Bay, leaving the Packers and Colts deadlocked at the top with 10-3-1 won-lost-tied records.
