Roadworks

| February 11, 1961. There was a call for all villager headmen (Ban Van, Ban Phaed, Ban Chiang Ban etc.) to plan for the repair of the road. The assistant district officer suggested that each village would be responsible for the reparation of the portion which passed through their village. But most village headmen did not approve of this because the length of the road that was paved through each village was not the same. Finally, the length of the road was divided into eight parts according to the number of villages. Each village selected one of the eight parts, and this was decided by the drawing of lots. | Punch card
