Narcotics Commission brands Thailand as one of the world's biggest opium trade centers. On several occasions, Pao's police made a great show of seizing contraband opium coming across the northern border from China and paid off large government rewards to the informers.

The paper packs an even greater non-political punch. After a World-Herald crusade for traffic safety in 1953, the state's death toll dropped 30% in four months, while surrounding states' tolls continued to rise.
