Inscriptions Typed in black ink on applied label on verso, C: 6-61 13) JUST IN CASE: South Afrikaaners, alarmed at the increasing \ militancy of the Negro population, and disturbed by their growing isola- \ tion from the world since the country became a Republic on May 31, have \ decided to look to their own defense. One result is a run on stores \ selling small arms and ammunition. Target practice, as here demonstrated \ by husband to wife, has become commonplace in the gardens of Johannesburg \ homes. \ Credit: IAN BERRY © 1961 MAGNUM PHOTOS
