A beer-can regatta was held yesterday in Darwin, which locals claim is the beer-drinking capital of the world. The people of Darwin regularly drink an average of 52 gallons of beer a year each. So it was decided to put some of the surplus cans to good use and hold a regatta with boats made of beer cans. There were 60 entries, each containing about 1000 cans. — Darwin, June 17. Ndugo-hood
All titles in Tanzania, including “Minister” and “Excellency,” have been replaced by “Ndugu”—or “Brother” — according to a government decree, which the Government says is designed to stamp out the “disease of oomposity.” — Dar Es Salaam, June 17.
