This 1 b particularly disappointing in view ofj the fact that,
had export licences been obtainable, I could have purchased ‘
all that was required in Karachi either in 1942~^ thig year.
These lorries are used continuously on the road
between Matrah and Muscat. I estimate that after the rainS
in January this road will be quite unfit for the use of M.T.
The method of repairing in the past has been to rake loose
stones of/rthe road and when M pot holes'* appeared, to level
the remainder of the road down to the bottom of the hole
Instead of filling up. The road is now so worn that the
surface is down to bedrock and little could be done without
a stone crusher and a roller. Owing to the terrible shaking
the lorries get on this road they have deteriorated greatly
in the last few months.

The health of the force has been good. There have been
two deaths, one esneer of the stomach and one Typhoid-fever.
Malaria cases have been comparatively few but unfortunately
we are out of quinine. Although the M.O., Dr. Hynes, put in
the minimum indent a number of essentials such as Cinchona
Febrifuge, Mag. Sulphas, N.A.B. and Quinine were ommittea
coiqpletely. The Consul has been addressed on this subject.
The reduction in Malaria and Dysentry cases is
presumably due to Anti-Malarial and Fly-Preventive measures
which have been taken.
The weekly con^ulsory bathing parade for all ranks,
although unpopular in the cold weather, appears to have
reduced the number of cases of skin diseases, although ulcers
persist in the hot weather probably due to an excessive fish
diet and lack of green food. There have been very few new
cases of V.D. although a number of men have had recurrent
attacks.
The M.O. attends Bait-al-Falaij on Wednesdays and
Saturdays and at such other times as required; he also, at
my request, attends families in their homes.
All serious cases are taken into the
