But despite the secluded life that many lead. "villagers are pretty well-informed about Colony and even world affairs." Rald the report.

"This, since tew villages are reached by the postal service and newspapers are rare, requires a world of explanation. "Nearly every village has at least due of its sons working 'abroad', an expression which includes the West Indies, the Pacific Islands, Borneo, Europe and Hongkong! "With nearly every village is connected a shop or stall in one of the country market towns and the close-knit elan organisation sees to it that news received by these cban- nels is disseminated on the 'bamboo wireless." "The affairs
