, ANC school site
for returning
exiles bombed
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (AP)
A former whites-only school being
renovated for children of African
National Congress members was
damaged Sunday in the second ex­
plosion at the site in eight days.
The building was vacant at the
time of the attack. .
There was no claim of respon­
sibilty for the attacks at the Hillview
High School near downtown
Pretoria.
Robert van Tender, leader of the
Boer State Party, believed the ex­
plosion was linked to right-wing ac­
tivists upset with government con­
cessions to black groups.

PicniC
hl th
Thursday of last week was a beautiful day for out door frolic and ,
Highland Park' Chamber of Commerce, 12541 Second Avenue. and
the Detroit Osteopathic Ho pital, 12523 Third Avenue, took advantage
of the 90 plus degree weather with picnics that were fun and frolic and
business style. .
The similarity and the contrast: the Chamber'S picnic revolved
around a membership drive. The chamber signed four new businesses
and got pledges from three. Aside from new membership, the picnic
was for "net working."
The hospital's picnic was an annual employees affair. It was held in
three shifts: 11 a.m. until 2 p.m., 4 p.m. until 6:30 p.m. and from 12
midnight until. 2 a.m. .
During the three shifts, some 1,200 people par took of the delights.
The e are some of the fun frolickers and "net working" people who
attended the affairs. (pho by N. tt)
