Aanrny Held - Patriotism replaces reason and reality. op die grens - A perception of being under siege, at war, makes the unacceptable acceptable. - The possibility of political rather than military solutions is forgotten. - Higher defence budgets at the expense of better housing, equal education, less poverty, are seen as inevitable.____________ Quote - "Hearts and Minds ’ "The basic aim of Civic Action, apart from Control assisting the black man General Magnus Malan is in various fields is to Minister of Defence. His project an image of the ministry includes the soldier as a man of SADF and Armscor action but who is never­ theless a friend of the black man and who is prepared to defend him.

SADF 'in the Township5 "On Monday the SADF was in full force in Uiten- hage. In Kwanobuhle it shot Mr Ringo Mguku in the forehead. Soldiers were kicking women and putting them in hippos. This thing really dis­ appointed me. Because I think the army is not for peace. Army is for war," said a Uitenhage civic leader speaking of an incident three days before the Langa mass­ acre. The townships are abuzz with such accounts of 6otce*a^ 75'IO^V SADF and police action in which someone is shot." I (From ECC Focus May 1985) Questions in Fkrl'iament The following emerged in answer to questions asked of Ministers during the 1985 session of Parliament: - Citizen Force and Commando units have been used to control unrest and monitor townships throughout the Republic. - On occasion school cadet officers who were members of Commando units were "incorrectly" called up and utilized in operations centres. - Five people died between October 1984 and May 1985 as a result of action taken by members of the SADF in un­ rest situations in the Republic.

The End Conscription Campaign calls for an end to conscription because - Conscription prolongs the war in Namibia. - Conscription violates the human right to refuse in conscience to render military service. - Conscription conditions South Africans to accept the growing militarisation in our society. ECC affiliates include a range of church, womens', student and human rights groups, united against militarisation and conscription in our society. Among the affiliates are: The Black Sash YCS Diakonia COSG (Conscientious Objectors' Jodac Support Group) Neusa War and Peace Group (Catholic Nusas Diocese) Cathsoc PFP Youth (Eastern Cape) UDF Area Committees Women's Movement for Peace Civil Rights League SUCA The Ecumenical Action Wits SRC Movement (Team) UCT SRC Anglican Board of Social Western Province Council of Responsibility Churches Catholic Justice and Peace Group STOP THE DRAFT £ a * r ) p a t g n Conscientious Objector Legislation In 1983 new legislation was introduced for CO's. This legislation divides CO's into two groups: religious pacifists who are recognised as CO's and non­ religious pacifists (selective objectors) who are not recognised as CO's. Religious pacifists. Different arrangements are made for these CO's on the basis of the extent of their objection. 1) If the CO will do non-combatant service in the SADF, this will be arranged for the normal period of military service. 2) If the CO won't wear an army uniform non-military service in a non-military uniform is arranged for 1} times the normal service (i.e. 6 years or 1J x length of service owed). 3) If the CO won't be associated with the army at all he will do community service for 1J times the normal service (i.e. 6 years or 1J x services owed). These concessions are only made if the CO can satisfy a selection board that he is a bona-fide religious pacifist. Any objector who objects on selective grounds (i.e. who for theological, moral or ethical reasons will not join the SADF, but would join a "just" defence force) is not recognised as a CO. Such objectors are sentenced to a prison term of 1J x the length of service (i.e. 6 years or 1J x the service owed). Not reporting fo V/HAtAH I POlNS?

Well, of course I ask why blacks are killing blacks-because all of "The Situation Can't Wait" them are oppressed. But the first blacks to be killed are those in the em­ ploy of the apartheid system. Armed black police, who are taking Oliver Tambo, the President ofthe African National Congress, appearedat the Parker House in Boston on 30Apriland 1May to speak at a meeting ofthe New orders to shoot at their sisters. All the people are required to do is to stop England Circle and to hold a press conference. During his visit to the US, Mr. volunteering their services to the apartheid system, and many of them Tambo found an unprecedented level of interest and support for the cause of have done so. They have resigned from it. But all this is part of an liberation-a "new America," as he called it. We thank the Dunfey family for escalating struggle that won't stop merely with blacks killing blacks. It hosting this event and for allowing us to print the following remarks from Mr. will develop until everybody kills everybody else. It's not just a black Tambo's press conference. tragedy, it's a tragedy for all South Africans that's going to take place You spoke about a new America. Could you be more specific? unless something is done to weaken the ability ofthe regime to resist our I'm referring to, first, the fact that the South African question has been demands and resist our struggle.

Nearly fifty years ago the International Committee of Onomastic Sciences (ICOS) came into being. This body has held fifteen triennial international congresses to date, the most recent being in Leipzig in 1984. With its headquarters in Louvain, Belgium, it publishes a bibliographical and information periodical, Onoma, an indispensable aid to researchers. Since 1967 the United Nations Group of Experts on Geographical Names (UNGEGN) has provided for co-ordination and liaison between countries to further the standardization of geographical names. To date eleven working sessions and four international conferences have been held. In most countries of the world there are institutes and centres for onomastic research, official bodies for the national standardization of place names, and names societies.

Since the 17th century, units of the British and British Commonwealth armed forces, including their forebears of the Empire and the Dominions: ships, Regiments and Air Force squadrons, have been granted this right by authority of the sovereign in order to commemorate meritorious participation in a notable action or campaign.
