MURDER AT THE LOUD SPEAKER
In an effort to educate the people of India’s North-west Frontier Province on the futility of murder as a means of redressing personal grievances, the broadcasting station at Peshawar some time ago arranged for talks deploring the habit and showing how it undermined established authority. In- a score of villages the talks were listened to with interest, although in one place without _ due Understanding. In this particular place a large throng gathered around the community’s receiving set, but reception was hindered by a local wag who maintained a running commentary. This was resented by another villager, who indicated that lie was anxious to learn about the disadvantages of murder as a method of solving personal disputes. But the wag persisted in his interruptions, and accordingly the aggrieved listener drew a knife from his belt and stabbed the interrupter in the stomach.— ‘ The Times.’
