CORPUS CHRISTI
CELEBRATION
There is no doabe that the area is highly malarlous; a survey of school children, made by the Seulor Malaria Research Officer, early in 1937, showed a spleen rate of 70 per cent. and a parasite rate of 50 per cent.; subsequent surveys have not indicated any considerable reduction. Kampong Sijangkang, also on the coast, has been under observa tion by the Entomologist for 34 years, the report adds. As there is only one vector it should be an ideal place to
