powder scattered from unlabelled drums that burst when a lorry overturned, the Urban District Councils Association has written to the Minister of Transport urging that dangerous materials in transit should he marked. The yellow powder in the accident in question— which happened at Holywell, Flintshire —turned out to be lead oxide, but this was not discovered until mechanics and counci: employees on the scene were covered from head to foot in it.
