HIPPOPOTAMl MENACE
PLANES

LERE (Chad) French Africa
(P)-Hippopotami have developed
into a major flying hazard in the
Chad and ways and means are now
being sought to put an end to it.
The Hippipotami live in the lake
of Lere, a vast shallow expanse of
water used by the "France-HydrO"
air-company for flying boats,
which fly cotton to the coast, ma
chimes and drinks to the Chad. in
the beginning, the pilots made
some low altitude swOOps to chase
the hippOpOtami away, but the lat
ter quickly learned that the flying
boats were perfectly harmless and
today they don't bulge.
It has been decided to take the
beasts elsewhere. But how several
hundred hippOpOtami can be cap
tured and transferred, is not yet
known.
