SHOWED TIGHTENING

1t became apparent in March
that the government of the Union
of South Africa was tightening its
enforcement of the Asiatic Land
Tenure Amendment act of 1949 and
was vigorously enforcing segrega-
ton in other ways by executive
measures. The Indian government
presented an 'aide memoire" to the
Union government, expl essing the
hope that nothing would be done
to jeopardize the success of the
conference.
The Union Government publish
ed the Group Areas Bill in April
the bill provides for areas to be
set apart for the exclusive occupa-
ton or ownership or both by white,
native and colored groups. Within
the latter groups, further ethnic,
linguistic and cultural groups
would be formed. Occupation by
non-qualified persons within the
areas would be prohibited after one
year of notification. New acquisi-
ton or occupation by a disqualified
persons would also be prohibited.
No differentiation would be made
between occupation or residence,
and trade licenses, under terms of
the bill, would be issued only on
production of proof that an appli-
cant could lawfully occupy the
premises.
All areas other than group areas
or native localities would be con-
trolled areas where transfers of
occupation and properties of groups
could take place only with permits
issued by the minister. The sec
ond reading of the bill was fixed
for May l.

1T Tastes Better When
You Roise 1T Yourself!

There's q lot of fun raising your
own meat, poultry and eggs in your
backyard, especially when you have
youngsters who are eagerly looking
for something to do when schools
out"
Besides providing an outlet for all
this excess energy, the Backlot
Farm affords the children a first
hand training in helping provide
for the family, and it plays no small
part in stretching the family's food
budget. In addition, the relatively
small effort required enables the
average working man to add a few
livestock or poultry projects to his
annual vegetable garden to supply
the family table.
A Backlot Farm doesn't require
acreage" since a small space can
be adapted to fill the average fam
ily's needs when carefully advance
planning and sound management
are considered.
The Backlot Farmer who raises
vegetables usually plots his garden
well in advance of spring planting"
and it is at this stage that he can
work out his program to include
some chickens, possibly a pig or two,
and maybe even milking cow.
The family COW is a wise invest
ment and aside from relatively
small patch for grazing, can be kept
in tip-top condition and in profit
able production by using proven
feeding practices and management
methods.
A small flock of chickens doesn't
take up too much room and the
fresh eggs and poultry meat will
more than make up for the time and
effort demanded by the chickens.
White Pekin Ducks can be
Backlot Farm project since this
breed is adaptable to small scale
operation as well as large CONNER
cial enterprises. And the family
larder can be further expanded when
the Backlot Farm includes hutch
or two of New Zealand rabbits, and
brace Of pigeons can provide
squads, a real treat for the family.
Backlot Farming is gaining in
popularity all ove@ the country and
every spring sees more families rails
ing their own fresh vegetables and
adding meat, poultry and eggs to
the project.

FBI.
The trial witness, Harold
P. Shapiro, Justice Department
attorney, said he had no part in
any scheme ito entrap Miss Cop
Ion in any criminal enterprise"

accused of a crime. S..
MIR. Shapiro did not testify at a
