So far as IS known there were no cas- ualties on the side of the assailants One account of the incident states that a secluded spot a deep trench had been cut across the road and into it the leading lorry plunged. The second lorry, which was travelling fast, ran into the wrecked car, it is said, and the occupants of both became @ easy victims of the men who planned the attack.

solve the problems incident to this
situation caused by the lack of suf-
ficient class room space to accommo-
date the ever-growing school popula-
ton.
