WAU, Mar. 2.

TWO car accidents which could have had serious consequences occurred at Wau in February. Fortunately no one was seriously injured.

There is a very strong feeling here that not enough notice is taken of furi ous and drunken driving. Residents say that the police seem to be more concern ed with trivial matters than apprehending car drivers who scoot round corners at most ridiculous speeds.

Native drivers appear to have things too much their own way. and seem over confident in the handling of trucks.
